Ben, my older brother.
I'm at a coffee shop and I'm waiting for my turn to play smash bro's. My turn comes up and some girl looks at me in disgust and says "Don't bite me." I'm a little confused and say "I've heard of paranoia, you take it to a new level."
"You're brother said you bit him. Did you bite him?"
"Okay, so you're crazy and believe everything you hear. I just want to play smash and have fun. Please don't talk to me anymore if you're going to say crazy things like that."
"Did you bite him?!!!?!?!"
And I zone her out and ignore her while I enjoy playing smash brothers.

What happened before.
I'm at my house folding my laundry and my brother comes over with his laptop and some form of alcohol. He's drinking and doing something on his computer. He goes to take a shower, I finish folding clothes and go use him computer to check my e-mail.

He comes out of the shower and screams at me "GET OFF MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!" So, I stand up and walk over to the T.V. and start playing the ps2. He's angry and start to choke me from behind. While I'm being choked out I bite him in the arm and he lets me out of the choke so he wont get bitten more. I tell him to get out of my house [he doesn't] so I physically remove him from my house and lock the door.

Then I go to relax at my favorite coffee shop and people are asking about me biting him like I'm some rabid dog.

So, I just ignore them when they talk about it. Or tell them they're silly for believing it. I don't say the story about me being choked out and biting my way to freedom due to past experience where if you say that people will exaggerate the story and make it worse.


I personally don't know the solution to this problem. Just that the effects are girls being less likely to sleep with me, people being less likely to invite me to parties, and other negative effects.


Then there's Direct insults.
Example. I'm hanging out in a lounge area in my college and some guys talking to some girls. I say hi to my friend Michelle, and he mocks my monotone voice then laughs mockingly and says "What a lame.". I ignore him and keep talking to her and he keeps on mocking me. I'm not sure what to do other than blatantly ignore and ass hole like that.


Implied insults.
I'm playing a game with a guy and he beats me. After he says "I'm sorry, I'm a demon at First person shooters."
I say "Do you always feel the need to brag about things that don't matter?"
He doesn't respond.
I personally hate the "I'm sorry, blah blah blah blah blah" because it's implying that I cared in the first place. If I didn't give a shit about the game in the first place, there'd be no reason to apologize.

This implied insult and other forms happen a lot when I'm talking to girls as well. It's puzzling because if I acknowledge it I'm showing I care about what they said. If I don't the insult just floats about.

Go to the gym. Get huge, walk around with a little more confidence. Don't let anyone affect you. Laugh at them and just enjoy your life.

Life's not all about being huge after working out at the gym.
I run 30 miles a week and my life expectancy is much higher than that of someone who's goal at the gym is to "get huge". Granted the swimmers will outlive me.

The point is, your advice is rather vague and doesn't really touch on what I addressed to begin with.

When people do and say shit like I see others, like my friend Taaj, respond with jokes and make fun of them. People don't do that to him. People do that to me a lot though and it's not cause I haven't been hitting the gym.

You sounded too aggressive/defensive with the first girl..instead make a joke about it "Yeah, I watched Twilight last night and had the urge to bite my brother"

you have what appears to be the definition of nerd syndrome: you are socially awkward and you alienate people, even those that try to help you.

Plan on not getting laid for a while unless you confront your issues honestly and stop being a martyr.

Your reaction to the guy beating you at the game was way out of line. I don't think he was trying to insult you. (Granted, I don't know his voice tonality when he said it, I could be wrong). He was just being nice, and you acted like a poor loser. Next time just say, it's all good fun bro. That's it. Don't be so reactive to people. I think you're reading way too much into some people's reaction.
The provoking asshole thing, you did the right thing, it's immature to get involved in provocations like that. Maybe you could've whispered to the girl, wow someone's really seeking attention and laugh it off, this way you totally make him look lame in front of the girl.
The biting thing, I agree with PUA-Paris, turn it into a joke. Generally, you can turn every provocation into something lighthearted and not show you care at all. In my experience, that's the best reaction. Don't forget to smile

Well, Chime..if some crazy bitch is all in your face asking if you bit your brother, then I would say "yeah, you do what you gotta do, when you're getting the shit chocked out of you". Or "Yeah, I did! Would you like me to show you?!" If some chick is in my face, I'm gonna tell her how it is. I know you posted that you didn't want to say anything, but people talk regardless..but that's just me.

About this affecting your "my chances of screwing girls, or being invited to anything is ruined", is a little ridiculous...You're making it sound like it was on CNN or the front page of your local newspaper. Which I assume it was neither, so why are you worrying? Unless you live in a town where the population is around fifty people..I wouldn't give two shits.


As for your pal, ignore him...he has to bring you down to feel better about himself..Mack on the ladies, and do your thing. Shove it in his face when you got a girl and he doesn't.

And for the kid who beat you in a video game, ignore it..When he makes a comment about his "demin skills" Id say sorry i see some chicks over there peace out...im sure he doesnt get the ladies.


This is Random, but were you talking about Super Smash Brothers for N64? That is my game right there

Gosh Mooney you sound totally passive-aggressive with this advice! Why would he have to prove anything to anybody? Or rub anything into someone's face? That's what insecure, immature people do. Not cool man. Just my two cents.

You fight fire with fire, baby
& from time to time, it's always good to give someone a taste of their own medicine. People get carried away too easily.
