"You're right I have to have my mom boost me up to get my toys."

isn't it at the same time self-deprecating? As far as I know, SD makes one appear low-value. How can I practice AA?

Yes it is. Kinda funny though. Maybe you want a better line...... "Yeah, it's weird that I still hold the high school polevaulting record".

The golden rules of shit tests:

• Do not be emotionally affected / flummoxed / lost for words / affected by the shit test
• A&A is optional
• You can always ignore a shit test if you wish (ie pretend it was never said)
• You absolutely should fight back sometimes. Eg "I bet you like taller men so that you don't feel so short"
• If she's enjoying the back and forth too much, switch to ignoring the shit tests. This avoids you being their dancing monkey.

And yes, avoid self deprecating. The problem with self deprecating is that the other person might well agree with you.

Advanced mode: Self disqualifying. Basically you disqualify yourself from sexual relations with her. "Yep, I'm way too tall for you" or "Yeah, we could never date, I'd have to kneel to kiss you". This puts you in the frame of not-trying and puts her in the frame of qualifying herself to you.

Super advanced mode: Disqualifying HER. "Yeah, you're not my type". Girls are 99% insecure so you have to go super gentle on this and smile and joke around with it. Unbelievably, most hot women will believe you if you say you're not interested for some objective reason, so you have to make it super light.... "I can't date blondes anymore" or "Sorry, wrong colour eyes, our children would be all mixed up".

I wouldnt go for AA for practice, its too specific and you need to be in the mood/zone to come up with something "good" to say. I would say practice DGAF and amused mastery.

Try actively to get to DGAF (about anything). I have to play mind games with myself constantly to stay in the zone. You know, like in coginitive therapy, be aware of your thoughts and "argue" against bullshit that might come up. It manifests itself. I know people who legit do not give any fucks. Its a great reminder that it can indeed work differently. You know, some people just get up in the morning, live in their car and enjoy it. Why not you? Why is your brain giving you shit to take seriously and worry about?

Amused mastery is actually easy to practice. Instead of taking things seriously try to smirk and/or laugh it off. Belittle other people. Collegaue is pulling some power game shit? Instead of getting reactive, actually think about how pathetic it actually is. Bonus points when your expression shows what you are thinking. Smirk, say sure bro in a belitteling tone and turn away. For me personally it was an easy change to go from being affected in some way to actually seeing how pathetic shit is poeple pull sometimes and laugh about it. And to comment on your height is just pathtic on so many levels. Her motivation is to get an reaction from you - pathetic. Her assumption you must be insecure of it - pathetic. She actually saying it with these motivations - lmao fucking subhuman.

From there its easy to have the "right" reaction in terms of keeping frame.

"You're right I have to have my mom boost me up to get my toys."

"Yea, but you'll be the right size on your knees", depending on your zfg level.

You don't use A&A always, you need to calibrate the situation. Sometimes just ignoring or looking at her like she's retarded does wonders. It's not self deprecating if it ain't true.
