Alcohol Shit-test. Need advise.

This isn't a shit test. This is just a girl bullying you.

Agree and amplify isn't a good strategy for bullying. A lack of resistance and self-deprecation just encourages bullies. You're better off fucking with them right back.

(Ignoring her and addressing the group at large) "Yo why does this girl always want to get me drunk so badly? Its starting to creep me out."

Then all smug and cool, with everyone watching say to her: "It won't help your chances, [girl]. There ain't enough booze in the world to make that happen." Tip your drink in her direction and take a swig.

Later on you can lean in to someone and in a loud, exaggerated whisper say "Hey, will you keep an eye on my drink for me? I'm worried [girl] is going to roofie me."

Never listen to or care what a party slut says / thinks. Her value is sex & nothing else.

Good natured ribbing should be encouraged. Her challenging you allows you to establish your alpha frame.

Picture this scene:

Our hero, Notitachi, is with his friends, sipping classily on a gin and tonic (or vodka martini, your choice) when SuperDrunkBitchFace shows up and decides to start giving him a hard time.

SDBF- Hey Notitachi, you're a pussy for not keeping pace with the group. Can't hold your liquor, can you? Pussy!

The "Wut?"

Notitachi (unfazed)- huh? oh, hi SDBF, didn't see you being super noisy there. (resumes conversation)

or

The Space Dandy

Notitachi- whoah, slow down SDBF, why are you trying to get me drunk? It won't improve your chances any. (winks at the group and waits for the laughs)

or

The prompt dismissal, aka, the Donald Trump "You're Fired"

Notitachi- SDBF, I don't depend on being shitfaced to have a good time(resumes previous conversation with HB7 sitting next to him)

or

(the ignore) aka, she's barely even there:

Notitachi- what was that HB8? I couldn't hear you over SDBF trying to compensate for her bitchy personality. So you like Monet? I prefer Renoir myself, but Van Gogh was the paramount impressionist.

or

the Agree and Amplify, aka, the "get lost"

Notitachi- You're right SDBF, we're not desperate enough to get shitfaced sloppy drunk with you. You'd better find a new group.

You said so yourself - you're successful and she's a party slut. End of discussion. The fact that you feel you need to defend yourself is sad - stop it. Statements I would use for not drinking or drinking very little are:

"I like to be in control of my actions."
"I already drank my share when I was younger."
"I did too much coke to have any alcohol tonight."

Only use that last one with amused mastery if you think they will see it as a joke.

I often detox from alcohol for a month or more just for health reasons. Typically if I frame it correctly no one bothers me. "I'm just not drinking right now, my mind is my biggest asset, why would I jeopardize?" for example. People respect that. She's prodding you to see if you're confident. Don't put up with her teasing. You can tease her back but that might risk you looking like you've let it rattle you. Walk away or ignore her would be my advice. It takes a strong man to walk away from something.

play YOUR game, not hers. she's being a bully, a troll, a bit of a b!tch. you're the successful alpha you've always been, and you don't worry what this random girl is saying to you. you're classy, you're forward and upfront, you're not phased by her rude comments.

But hold your frame. How are you frustrated by her? She's making a scene

"Alcohol isn't really my poison of choice, but you take to it like a champ! So good for you."

Johnny10toes · 2014-12-14T13:45:16+00:00

"Ah that'll make it easier for you to get me drunk and take advantage of me. Good plan! Another shot!"

The__Dude__Abides · 2014-12-14T15:35:18+00:00

Buy a dictionary! :P

GunsGermsAndSteel · 2014-12-14T15:47:29+00:00

See if you can get her to match you shot for shot. Except, make it so you get water and she gets vodka.

I have a "encyclopedia of shit tests" article coming soon (either today or tomorrow if I manage to stay on schedule) so I'll link you to that when it's done.

As for your question, it sounds like she is more narcissistic than you are. How do you beat a narcissist? Out ego their ego. It's a one-upping thing, she's henpecking. You have to neg narcissists to hurt them, mock her fascination with your alcohol tolerance and openly question if she has any interesting hobbies because you find her fixation with your drinking habits to be immensely boring. When she gets butthurt "awww I'm just joking, like you're only joking when you drone on about my alcohol tolerance right?!" she'll get the message.

You need to assert yourself more and not let bitches and their fickle opinions mean so much to you. You deal with narcs/women by negging the shit out of them and then retaining the plausible deniability of "having a joke" as damage control. If she is giving you shit she can take it right back. Stand your ground, don't be the emotional punch bag for a vapid slut.

Also bro, if you're not, lift. I've noticed guys who lift take way less shit from people than guys who don't. Probably the increased T. Sometimes you can let things slide, but if it's a recurring theme you have to nip that shit in the bud before it grows into something more detrimental.

Thanks guys,

This has cleared up a lot of stuff. I now realize I'd mistaken this for a shit-test (still learning when to recognize them) and was unconsciously bringing on more criticism. I'll use the suggestions above and try better to maintain frame.

Also, I've just started lifting as well and know I'm in for a long road but am glad I'm on the right track.

She likes you.

Eat alot of food before you drink. Use more soda, less whiskey. And bang that girl.
