Ok, so a friend and I have this trouble. There’s this alpha wannabe ass friend who keeps appearing at the same group functions. As soon as one of the good guys makes his way into a girls interests, c0ckblock (We’ll call him CB) comes running over with his blue eyes and starts talking about his favorite person: himself.
The better man in me says he’s weeding out the morons for us. The dumb ones go for his arrogant self-centered ass. But after a while, it gets fucking irritating.
Normally, I like to think I embarrass him publicly, but I’m tired of doing that.
Does anyone else have a better way of re-establishing yourself in front of this kind of jackass?
2. Talk to your friend. Try and find out what the underlying cause is. If he/she had some past with your man/woman, or heard rumors about him/her, that might taint the way he/she views him. Let him/her know that his/her actions bother you. 3. Tell him/her to<strike>** back the fuck off**</strike> cut it out. If it is bothering you and he’s/she’s constantly doing this, tell him/her to back off and respect your decisions. Sometimes a firm tone is needed for him/her to get the message.
Above all, remember, don’t let him/her get in the way of your genitals and your girlfriend/boyfriends genitals.
Thanks, but he’s more beta than alpha. I should have said that. We had another friend approach him directly. He regressed, then talked bad about the guy behind his back. “so-and-so is all about competition” he says. He doesn’t deal well with the direct approach. Maybe that’s what he needs.
Since direct approach doesn’t work consider using some of the following (since he isn’t a real friend if you guys call him CB LOL).
If you are one on one with a woman or entertaining a small group (maybe 2 people) than just keep talking like asshat isn’t there. If you keep your frame the girls will listen to you and know whats going on. They will get frustrated and tell him to STFU. If they don’t step in and you feel you need an easy out you can turn to him, pretend like you didnt hear him, and say I’m Sorry? When he begins to speak say, I’m not appologizing, I’m just sorry.
Another thing you can do is say, Calm down CB we can all hear you just fine (in a very calm voice). Use variations of this until he betas himself entirely. Some variations include:
Dude CB, We all like you, you don’t have to show off.
Theres no need to change your voice tone, everyone likes you (everyone can hear you).
ETC ETC.
By saying these things it frames it that he is Beta and he reaffirms it by defending himself. It’s a beautiful system. If he doesn’t back off then use the final blow:
If you really didn’t care what we think then why are you defending yourself? LOL. That will blow him out of the water. Ignore him if he persists.
Technically he is not cockblocking he is competing with you. Cock blocking usually occurs from someone the girl knows. Since this person is your friend or acquaintance then he is just stealing your set.
I would sit him down and have a little talk with him. Tell him to knock it off. He may or may not listen to you but you have made him aware of the problem.
If you have a wing man this is where he needs to step in. He will distract CB while you establish the set again .
If you dont have a wingman handy then maintain your composure, When you see him coming, up the kino. Keep her attention focused on you. Dont be mean to CB but dont give him your full attention. Do not comfront him in front of her. This gives him the upper hand. Every insult or annoyed reaction you give him will lower your value in her eyes. He is trying to push you into the beta position. Do not let him. This is where your inner game should kick in.
He probably has some sort of insecurity going on that makes him want to go after the girls you go after. You could talk about his past, see if he lost a parent or sibling or has some sort of issues that cause him. My guess is that he is looking for other guys to say “Wow, that is a really hot chick you picked up.”
Another thing you can do is just make him chase who you don’t want. Approach the friends of the girls you are attracted to, let him then take your spot and tell him how lucky and what a winner he is while you move on the the girl you really wanted. He feels good, a few plain girls get a well needed ego boost and you are happy too.
I like this one especially the last part about not having to show off. That establishes you as the alpha and embarrasses him infront of the girl without you sounding like a dick. Unless he’s a true alpha (which you say he’s not) he’ll feel embarassed and wont have a good come back.
The direct methods are already mentioned, ask him why the hell he’s trying to swoop on a friend’s interest?
Tisha and Butterfly offered good suggestions. Just focus on the girl, and let her know that you’re interested in talking to her, not CB. If she’s into you, she’ll want you to herself as well and CB will just get ignored by both of you. Personally, that’s just what I do, if someone comes up, I’ll focus on the girl I’m talking with and if the guy pats me on my back or something to grab my attention, I’ll just acknowledge it quickly but keep it to a ‘hey…sup.’ Usually they’ll just walk away, as they get the message.
Butterfly’s suggestion in baiting CB with non-interests is great if you are going with indirect game, but it can be ineffective for people running direct game, or at least, gets a bit in the way if you need to throw off CB first.
If the guy persists, you can just wait for a private moment and just slip away. Invite her to come get drinks with you, or go outside for some air, whatever, just remove yourself from his company. He’ll really look beta if he follows the two of you to your new location, or if he invites himself.
I don’t really see the point in getting his face to get him to leave, it’s much easier to just leave with the girl. That also strengthens the bond with the girl, since you’re leaving together (also a common ‘enemy’, which never hurts. )
I had someone that I thought to be a friend do the same thing to me this weekend, Thursday with a girl that I really like, and again on Friday with a girl that’s into me, but I’m not into her.
I talked to my friend about it after the Thursday night episode. He fed me a bunch of crap about how she was hitting on him, told him I was to old for her, got disgusted when I touched her, etc. He also apologized and said he wouldn’t do it again, then turned around and did the same thing Friday night.
Funny thing was that the girl from Thursday night has called me at least once a day everyday since then, we went out to dinner Saturday then to our usual club together, and she was going to come by my place last night after visiting family, but by the time she left it was pretty late and she just ended up going home.
And, the girl from Friday night was at the club Saturday too, and kept offering to buy me drinks and trying to hang out with me.
My suggestion was to offer him some new cologne, say Instant Jerk or Spaceland, in an unmarked bottle.
the only way to beat a cockblock is to join him, or make him leave.
Having watched a guy I know working on a girl most of the evening, have another guy we know try and slide in the middle of the two. The funny thing was, my buddy redoubled his effort, and I joined in on the flirting, we drove the blocker nuts, until he had to leave for work. I backed off, (hey it was the dude’s house, and his his party we were at) she was so worked up by then, they disappeared while the rest of the gang watched a movie.
my buddy ask me later what I did she was so worked up she practically tore his clothes off. I said you missed me sitting on the back of the couch rubbing her neck and back didn’t you… I said ladies like attention, some just want lots of it.
GIRL:LOL! That’s funny cuz I actually tried to look him up! No offense CB…you just never know!
CB: wow. thats not even funny. and no offense??? what could be even a little more offensive? Not cool.
Me: Relax CB. There are plenty of things more offensive. Like making smores over a schoolbus fire…
I got a date with her a week after that. Didn’t turn into much, but I took extreme pleasure in embarrassing his alpha wannabe ass. She even told me how funny it was. Other friends told me about how pissed he was. Serves him right. Tard.
Ahhh Dont do that. By dis-ing him you display lower value (Beta behavoir) and a lack of confidence. She may laugh but the seed is planted in her head and it gives him the edge really which is probably why your date didnt turn into much.
