When a girl playfully calls you a dumbass, how do you react?

[The_Reaper]

When she turns it around on you...so to speak.

you say...im not as big as one as you are....then you turn and smile...

 

[LDBaha]

you say "i know you are but what am i?"

With anything like this, if it is said in a playful manner, I have always followed with "Yes, yes I am. Don't worry, you will grow to like it." Then a smirk. Always seems to get a laugh...

Don't.

This may sound like a smartass answer to a rhetorical question, but you don't have to react to everything she says. By doing so (being reactive), you're letting her control the frame. It took me a while to learn this.

Don't feel the need to analyze every little thing she does and make a witty comeback to it. Just hang back a bit and smile. You can have her qualify herself later.

amen.

i used to actually feel a little butt hurt when girls would try to get fiesty and tease with things like that. nowadays, its one of the things that gets a very minimal reaction to me. maybe a smug smile, or a pat on the head. come to think of it, over time ive gotten to the point where a lot of stupid girlie behavior (like whining about stupid things) i mostly just ignore or nod a bit.

the bottom line is that were expected to be confident and sure of ourselves... girls like to ****-test to see if we really are. as stated above, by reacting to her or actually taking offense, youre letting her control your frame (and emotions). by keeping your cool, youre solid as a rock and her bs splashes off like water.
