Being an azzhole doesn't necessarily mean overtly doing what you did.
I believe it to mean more "not being too nice". It's a fine balance.
For instance, instead of saying (or texting) your feelings towards this bytch, you just go ghost. Don't reply to every meaningless text, ignore her immature bullsht and keep her at army's length.
That implies azzhole-ism rather than confirms it in a shower of butthurt text.
I've lost count of the number of times chicks have called me an azzhole.
And it wasn't because I was rude to them or put them down (well not always, lol), it was more in scenarios like this:
HB: Hey Greasy Pig, can you pretend to be my boyfriend so this creepy guy leaves me alone?
GP: Only if I get full boyfriend privileges.
HB: Ha ha, no of course not!
GP: Well in that case, no.
HB: You azzhole.
Or:
HB: Oh Greasy, why didn't you reply to my texts last night?
GP: I was getting drunk with my friends.
HB: But I was out as well, I wanted to meet up with you!
GP: Sorry toots, boys' night out, no girls allowed.
HB: So what? We could've at least had one drink!
GP: And then you would've tried to get me drunk and take advantage of me.
HB: Ha ha, in your dreams.
GP: That's OK, just hit me up next weekend and you can fight your way through the dozens of other women to buy me a bourbon.
HB: Ha ha ha! You azzhole.
So there's a difference between being not too nice and being a complete pryck. Being an "azzhole" in chick-speak means more that you are uncompromising, you don't yield to silly games and that you don't act like a puppy dog around women.
Does that make sense?
