Lots of threads about AMOG's worry me. This very rarely happens if you go out and sarge, and is instead a fear largely of keyboard jockeys.

Seriously AMOGing is not a big deal. If you go out and hit on girls there will not be ed hardy douches constantly around insulting you.

From postdarwins link: "If you find yourself getting AMOG'd a lot, then you are drawing it to yourself. I can count on one hand the number of AMOG situations I've dealt with in ten years of going out."

"Hey girls look at him, he's trying to get your attention! How's he doing?"

IIRC this is Mystery's...

You can follow up with something like "Gee, too bad you don't have any qualities to make yourself look good and must instead try to bring me to your level"...

It helps to understand why AMOGs behave the way they do. These are generally the types of guys who have an unstable sense of self-esteem. They get their self-esteem mainly by being the guy who gets hot chicks, or wins in sports, or whatever it is they do. When you come in, you're obviously perceived as a threat to their self-esteem. You could waltz right in and take their girl. That's where AMOG situations are most likely to take place, anyways. So in response they act arrogant and douche-y, as a defense. Your response should be to not take it too personally. Yeah, it can hurt a little. Your internal response should be it hurts a little, but I know it has nothing to do with me, so I won't take it personally. You can imagine from there how you might disarm the situation. I would play along with it in a joking way, but then take it to the ridiculous extreme to point how how ridiculous and silly the guy is being.

EDIT: Like Jon Stewart! In one of his latest episodes, some AMOG from Fox News says some really hurtful harsh shit about him, and he responds to it in his next episode, making a huge joke out of it. You can still tell though that it did hurt him a little, but he played it in a really classy way.

just ignore them in most cases. Whether they're skilled or unskilled, anything they say only works if there is a reaction from you. If they are trying to insult you to rise in the group, sometimes ignoring doesn't work but then cocky and funny usually does the trick, but 9 times out of 10, just plain out ignoring them is better, especially if you already are in with the group.

edit: The homosexuality thing said below works well too in those few cases ignoring doesn't work. Way too many people are anti-gay in society and usually, suggesting anything that contradicts their hetero world elicits a strong negative reaction.

Just cut them off early with "Oh my god, dude you're so funny. You're so clever. I bet you always make everyone laugh. That was a good one, tell us another joke."

On the other hand, if his jokes are good and you're creepy, then just get the fuck out and learn how to be a normal human being before you trying to pick up girls.

Laugh. Smile the whole time. And then, make a completely serious face and say. "If you say shit like that I again, I will rape you. I will physically stuff my erect penis into your ass. I am not kidding.". You can possibly burst out laughing. I find suggesting THEIR homosexuality is enough to scare them. If they say something like: "Sorry, I'm not gay" or "haha, you're gay". Response to the first: "You damn well will be when I'm done with you." and response to the second, "If you keep it up, this will certainly be the case."

You have to outgame them. Warning: One of my approaches is to be very crude. Your results may differ.
