There are a lot of different ideas suggested on here about handling our interactions with people. I want to ask everybody which ideas they've found to be most effective in their own personal experiences.
I'll give you mine: Agree and amplify. A lot of people on here were talking about it as a response to shit tests. I kept it in mind recently in a few interactions with women, and I can tell you that this technique is gold. It defuses a shit test really fast since they can no longer press the issue.
I'm in an area with a lot of conservative girls who like to shit test with this kind of comment - "You probably get lots of girls, have plenty of girlfriends. I doubt you'd ever even be interested in someone like me." I hate this kind of comment because it's so pointless and bitchy. Until I discovered agree and amplify.
"You're right. Thousands of women. Enough to populate a city. At least 15 new women a day since I was maybe 11 or 12."
she answers, "I'm serious."
I continue - "I'm serious too. Thousands of women. I'm practically Genghis Kahn."
At this point she laughed, and went on to something else - effectively defused. I never had a good response to this until TRP gave me the idea of "agree and amplify."
So, which TRP methods have you used with success in your own life?
