So I had a big wake up call tonight.

Went out with colleagues from work to go to an afterwork party. I get along with everybody just fine but nothing special.
So the first hour went by. Then some girl, I don't know for what reason, took my tie and put it on my head. I helped her
finish it ninja style. From then on I walked around with a red tie, tied around my head - ninja style. I thought
this was funny and I started making fun of myself while, at the same time, remembering reading about peacocking and that's exactly what I was doing on accident. Again, from then on, girls (and guys) started making (positive) comments about it and it felt like I was getting more popular. Even my colleagues started lining up around me. The more people asked me about the tie (or even touched) me because of it the more attractive I became to everyone else. Then some HB89 pulled on my tie from behind. All the sudden I started thinking about all the PUA tactics and stuff. As known, girls want what they can't get. So I played really hard to get. So while she was pulling me towards her I was resisting - telling her it was my tie and it's not free. I backed up and she fallowed. I kept playing this game until she eventually went to her friends. My colleagues told me I blew it but for some reason I knew it was just getting started. So it did push/pull all night with her, while at the same time watching all the other guys lining up on her, getting rejected. I was also making sure I was never alone and be surrounded by at least two girls. More and more girls (and guys) started talking to me I felt like being the king of the room (lol). Going to the restroom took me at least 10 minutes because way to many people started talking to me. At the end of the night I pushed the girl to far. I bet a co-woker (I was way to confident) that I could tell this one girl to give me a lab-dance directly in the eye (I made her dance for me before). I lost and the girl gave me the finger lol. I freezed out completely and after about 30 minutes of ignoring the girl she game back . I went home not getting anything from her but I didn't plan on it - I was sort of like experimenting and I even got the feeling one of my colleagues started being jealous When people talked to me I tried to be cocky funny and negging girls all the time.

This is/was sort of like a wake up call for me as I, for the first time, experienced being one of the "cool" guys at a party -
just by being different. I also started being indifferent to the effects of being ignored/rejected by a person and immediately started to interact with someone else.

Just wanted to throw this out there....
