Alpha Male Other Guy

The definition of AMOG is: Alpha Male Other Guy

This means another alpha guy who is a real competition to you. It doesn't matter if he is already part of the group or trying to seduce the same girl like you. The difference to a cockblock is that he has real game and it's not so easy to get rid of him. The best way to handle this is to use AMOG Destroyer Techniques, this way your "amoging" and the better one wins.

Example

You are chatting with two women at a bar when a taller, louder man joins in, cracks a joke about your drink and starts steering the conversation to himself.

Weak reaction: you go quiet, or you try to top him with insults. Calm reaction:

Him: "So what are you drinking? Let me guess, something sweet."
You: "Whiskey, but she is still arguing for tequila. You can referee."

You stay friendly, include him in the group and keep your attention on the women. He gets no fight to win.

What to do

• Check first whether he is really a rival. Many men who walk up are simply friendly.
• Stay relaxed, shake his hand, use his name and make him part of the set.
• Keep your focus on her, not on the contest. Staying non-needy is your best defence.
• Let her decide. If she clearly prefers him, accept it and move on.
• If it turns tense or he gets aggressive, leave. No woman is worth a fight.

Common mistakes

Put-downs, staring contests and showing off usually look insecure and can put the whole group off. A good wing can help by taking the other man into a separate conversation, and real self-esteem makes the problem much smaller.
