Mates turned into ****heads

[anile8]

i have this mate that has this girlfriend. he always goes for hot chicks and normally gets them. he is now going out with this chick that is ugly. but ive noticed that he always puts me down infront of his girlfriend and he told her that i love guns and porn (which isnt true, i like paintball but hey who doesn't?, he likes paintball to). When in conversation he brings up this girl who rejected me. He is normally my best mate so what should i do? By now im getting sick of this **** and need to either stop hanging out with him or something.

P.S. I also told him to stop acting like a ****head and he said sorry man, then he went and did it again.

Your friend is trying to make himself look better in front of his girl. What he doesent know is that he is only making himself look insecure and retarded.

You either retaliate with witty comebacks and make him shut up, or you have a talk with him about it, and if he still keeps that **** up, hes not worth having as a friend.

Thats what happens when you hang with a guy who doesn't know 'wingmanship'. Instead of you two re-enforcing each other. They'll try to out-alpha you.

Now, depending on how close you are with him.. you can either AMOG him infront of his girl (and maybe lose him a girlfriend), or just walk.. and tell him about it later(which you have done).

What's so bad about liking guns and porn, you are a man arn't you? I am quite proud of my interest in fine pornography and weopons.

USE HUMOR TO DIFUSE THE SITUATION. Humor is the only way to keep things going well. He says you like porn? Jokingly start talking about how it was your friend that introduced it to you. If ANYBODY tries to AMOG you, you need to take control immediately. He says you like guns? "Well, at least I don't stroke my barrel everyday." He's trying to look good in front of an audience by downplaying your significance. Use your knowledge of frames and control to steer the situation where you want it to go. If anything, keep things light and funny. If you can turn an AMOG into a joke, you can still maintain friendly relations. If you just try to turn it into a verbal ****slapping war, then you're just getting yourself into a worse situation.
