I guess this could also be known as ball busting? I've kind of always done it to my male friends, but not in an outright malicious way. Is this LV behavior? Example: a friend of mine was on a walk with me and says "you make me feel lame," while looking at me with puppy dog eyes. I just go "well.. you are lame." I'm sure he wasn't expecting it but I mean come on lol. I can't resist these little digs sometimes even though I AM trying to level up and be more kind since discovering FDS.

I know the power balance is very different in this situation so I'm not even sure if it qualifies as negging? I guess I'm just interested in your opinions or if this is something you do with men in your life.
