Then I say, "I actually did but thanks."
That's loss of frame right there. You should have agreed and amplified: "omg i so totally made that up so you'd fall in love with me" with a smirk on your face and get up and spank her.
Feisty girls like this give you the opportunity to really up your game. Use it. Don't be butt-hurt. When it becomes too much hard work, next her.

Awesome advice. It was over text probably shouldn't have even spoke to her over text. But yeah I get the gist now!

Talking about achievements/bragging is lame. You're asking for shit tests. This girl is maybe a bit on the extreme side, so don't calibrate too much to her. It can really screw up your calibration for normal girls if you're learning this stuff.
This girl can seem like a hard-ass, but don't fall into her game of mind fuckery. She's probably got a very fragile ego underneath and she's learned to confuse people with her cockiness.
When she tries to provoke you with shittests, you have to find a way to snap her out of it. She's looking for someone who can handle her shit, so don't even attempt arguing with her. Don't use words. Just smirk and look at her like you'd look at a kid who's playing in the sand. Body language is key. Something I do a lot is, when I get shit tested, I look at her as if I was thinking about what she just said, then I say something completely different. This changes the subject and she gets the feeling that I was never even fully aware of her.

I wasn't bragging. It happened inadvertently when she broached a topic and asked a question. Good advice, thank you.

If you told this story to a guy, he wouldn't think it was bragging. Tell the same story to a girl, she may think you're bragging. I should have clarified.

Touché. Thank you.

Use soft nexts. Always with plausible deniability. She acts up? You're unavailable for a few days. Show her your time is valuable. She'll either fade or work harder to please you.
Either way I've dropped plates for that level of annoyingness, you might consider it too. If this is ealry on (<2 months) chances are she's just shit testing hard to make sure you're AF enough. Stay relaxed, use amused mastery and agree and amplify. Care as little as possible.

What's your strategy for dropping plates when the time comes, and it isn't a matter of looking for commitment on her part or the like?
I've got an annoying plate I'm probably going to drop who seems to have caught serious feelings, and I'd rather focus my attention elsewhere. I already think I know how I'm going to handle it (ghost) but I'm curious as to how others do it.
[–]FrameWalker1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah I ghost. I stop initiating and I do respond with something like "really busy this week". Most girls have so many options it doesn't take long for them to fade.
If they bait with "we need to talk/I appreciate honesty" I ignore. I want it to feel like we both got busy and kind of forgot. Harsh rejection hurts, its why girls use rejection buffers. I highly recommend it.
Guys not aware of rejection buffers find them frustrating but the girl will know what's up right away.

Excellent advice, thanks for the feedback. That's pretty much the approach I was planning to take, so I'm glad you've had success with it.
I'm a fan of trying to leave plates better than when I found them, rather than leaving a wake of destruction in my path - so I think rejection buffers are a prime choice of strategy.
Thanks again, man.
Thank you!

Don't invest in plates. If she is too much work, next her or downgrade her.
[–]2secret_barber0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You need to study "Plate Theory" ...you shouldn't be talking so much with your plates or getting emotionally invested in her opinion on ANYTHING. Laugh through conversation, fuck her and bounce. If she starts giving you shit, focus your attention moreso on another plate.
I did read it. I'll re read it. I get the premise now a little more though thanks.

Example: I express my SMV about a particular point. She discredits me for something in my personal life that everyone would give me credit for. She says something like, "you didn't even do that, so and so did." When I clearly did do that and everyone else would just say, "wow you're amazing."
This is bragging. Actions > words. You shouldn't be telling her "yo I'm totally awesome". You should simply act as if you are awesome.
Soft next her.
You're right, thanks. Mistakes to be made, lessons to learn.
