>guy in work asks if all my muscles are to make up for my receding hairline in front of all my co workers
>everyone laughs
>visibly see the girl I like laughing covering her mouth
How do I recover from having my confidence crushed like this. Felt like crying on my walk home and only did 7 sets of my chest workout because I felt such despair.
>lol, i hope so!
and ignore it
theres an element of truth to what he says so acknowledge it
also, get revenge
Don't worry, the Norwood reaper will get him too. Never make fun of another man's hairline
You say yes stone cold faced, and proceed to mogg any skinny/fat faggots you work with.
That's what my manager did.
he's 35 and still a Norwood 0
Just got to laugh with them. Crying will only show that it is truely effecting you. Laughing just shows that you don't give a fuck.
>better than your receding jawline mate!
then give him a cocky smile and laugh it off.
He basically threw a shittest at you solely for the purpose of knocking you down while in his eyes, hopefully making him look more manly in front of his coworkers inc the women there.
In short, he's insecure and prob got a oneitus on one of the female colleagues present at the time. Boom. He's just given you free ammunition to use in the future for lolz.
lmao I feel bad for you bro
You'll probably think of a come back in the shower or something but then it will be too late.
Take the L and work on being a brainlet.
>another obvious lookism half-troll half-joke OP
>Jow Forums falls for it again
OP here, the whole situation just made me realise how socially inept I am and how all my effort in lifting and looking the best I can is all in vain. Honestly feel like an hero'ing. I'm sitting drinking now to numb the feels.
This is cringe and a bad reply, but this poster is kind of right. The guy is making a play, either consciously or subconsciously, for higher social status. If you let yourself sink in group social status, your test will decrease. I’m serious, so this is important. But don’t worry, you’ve got me here
First off: Don’t belittle him like aggressively in front of colleagues, you will come across as petty. Sperging he just has a weak jawline will do that. He wasn’t perceived as petty because he complimented your muscles but then roasted your hair.
>only did 7 sets of my chest workout
uh huh
and then you failed your military bench press ups and injected some protein syringes
>no its to make up for my small dick
Get over yourself. We all fall down, but we need remind ourselves there's a lot of work left to do.You're hair is receding, you know this or else you wouldn't have taken the joke so seriously. There's nothing much you can do other than laugh so lighten up. Don't worry OP everything isnt' as bad as it seems at first.
This is the chad response.
>na that's the creatine! I should cut back on it
You cant win against jealousy though, all my coworkers think I was assaulted or robbed after I got my gains

Listen to me
You have to focus on being socially dominant. Ways to gain the perception of social dominance is with light physical horseplay or solving problems/dominant feats. The first is hard to do in the workplace but could be done carefully. The key is to do this in a manner that comes off as PLAYFUL. It is recommended you become semi friends with the guy first, it will make him so much easier to crush because his tolerance for humiliation will be higher. You have to understand that when people see horseplay, if one party barely reciprocates or backs away, the more aggressive one is seen as socially dominant. So if he is not a gym goer this should be easy, but also hard because this is stuff that happens between friends and may not be office appropriate.
You could pinch his traps really hard and make him beg you to stop. This is a classic big/little brother move, comes across as friendly if you aren’t a sperg, and women have no idea what it feels like so they won’t view it as a power play.
Another thing you could do is force him to stay in his chair and wheel him around publicly (if it’s a rolly chair). Come up behind him and ask your bud if he wants to grab a cup of Joe with you. If he says no, maybe just do this anyway, but if he says yes then put your hands on his shoulders and don’t let him get out of his chair, just start wheeling him there. Tell your coworkers that “little Jeffry” (making up a name) wants to get some coffee. You will be able to parade around the office as the dominant one. You could even ask others if they want coffee, and tell them Jeffry will take your order. If he is really short, I would recommend singing “hi ho, hi ho, off for joe we go” in the tune of Snow White, or at the very least whistling it.
I’m telling you OP, this a surefire way to be seen as dominant, and maybe get fired.
Also if you tell me weaknesses I can help tailor a better strategy
sent pics away to a hair transplant company for a quote there's no point living looking 38 when you're 28. I'm invisible to girls in the 18-25 age range.
his weakness is he's in his 30s and works a low paid bar job. he also has one kid.
>hi ho, hi ho, off for joe we go
Please dont do this OP
American bully culture is so fucking weird. Are all of you depressive and psychotic?
this is either the best or the worst response possible. I'll save it for future use
>I guess I'm gonna be the most ripped bald guy since The Rock!
Or some equally funny/cheesy reply to take the edge out of it.
Mmm I forgot a part. Try to be seen as a better problem solver than him. Simple example is a jar trick. Plant a glass jar of Nutella or something that some fatty woman coworker will want, but make sure it’s a really tough jar to open and try to get him to fail first before you try. This should be done at lunch in front of people btw. Then, when you open it successfully, look at the nearest QT and say something snide like “I think you were twisting it the wrong way little buddy”.
Or volunteer both of y’all to move heavy things whenever it comes up. He can’t back out without looking like a bitch, you look minorly alpha for helping and commanding the situation, and then when you’re carrying it make sure you lift your side higher so it’s a bitch for him to carry.
you got destroyed. time to find a new job
This is legit autism right?
>THEYRE FOR YOURE MOM
Dude, stop giving advice.
It makes it lighthearted to people while also calling him a dwarf. I forgot to mention you can’t do this if you’re under 5’10
Oh this is a bar job? That opens the door for more aggressive pushback probably, the bar I worked at in college was a pretty no holds barred place. What position does he occupy and what about you?
Also DO NOT go after him for having a kid, surefire way to look like a dick
Sorry we aren’t fags lol
Insult him back jokingly. Ask him what the fuck his deal is and you come over as agressive and insecure. Laughing along is a better option, but might you prey for more jokes. Saying nothing and becomming embarassed will make men respect you less and women thinking you're pathetic.
You could've said something like
>'good thing your hair is the only thing keeping you from looking 40'
He might come back with a
>'guess were both on the same page then'
After which you could say
>'and ofcourse being around people half your age all the time keeps you young right? Guess you're as old as you feel'
OP, don't listen to this guy
It can only turn very badly for you.
You got destroyed, deal with it.
The only correct answer was
> No its to fuck your mom.
theres only one thing you can do.
Beat the everliving shit out of him in the parking lot when hes alone then he'll be a massive pussy whenever you see eachother at work.
Tell me how this wouldn’t work
As someone who is 6’2” with a real bad receding hairline, I personally have fought for social dominance in a fraternity, in several different friend groups, and in front of QTs. Doing it with friends is easier than coworkers because you can be more of a dick to friends. The key is just to never start it. I’m just telling y’all how it works in the real world, feel free to disregard my advice but horseplay is seriously the best way to achieve people seeing you as socially dominant. It’s scientifically proven. Banter is great but you have to be witty on the spot, which OP wasn’t able to do.
I’m providing him with ways to avoid necking himself, either he becomes dominant or he gets fired
You're delusional and autistic. I have no idea where you got the idea from that you're socially dominant, but looking at your advice I'd say that most of the conversations you dominate are in your head
Best advice, he won this round. Prepare for round 2
You’re not saying anything about what I said though. I don’t care if you think I’m autistic, I know I’m not b/c of my real life. You’re just sperging out saying that without even responding to what I said.
I’m telling OP to push his coworker around in a chair. Is that so crazy and radical? Did you never do anything like this to your friends? You’ve never picked them up, gotten them in headlocks, jumped on their backs, or done the normal roughhousing that is 100x more violent than what is suggested? Maybe you didn’t have an older brother, or you didn’t play sports in high school or college, but this is how social status is determined among non soi-boys
You're analysis of social sitiuations is fine, but your example of what he should do are pure autism.
>You could pinch his traps really hard and make him beg you to stop.
Almost as autistic as the guy that squeezes the everliving shit out of your hand the first time you meet him.
>Another thing you could do is force him to stay in his chair and wheel him around publicly (if it’s a rolly chair).
>Tell your coworkers that “little Jeffry” (making up a name) wants to get some coffee.
>You could even ask others if they want coffee, and tell them Jeffry will take your order. If he is really short, I would recommend singing “hi ho, hi ho, off for joe we go” in the tune of Snow White, or at the very least whistling it.
This here is pure autism and every person who regularly interacts with other humans will agree. The main reason why I think you barely talk to people outside your head. Can't believe you honestly think this is good advice.
>Plant a glass jar of Nutella or something that some fatty woman coworker will want, but make sure it’s a really tough jar to open and try to get him to fail first before you try.
Setting up a scene in which you will look alpha is the most beta thing you can do, fuck.
>Look it's user with that jar of nutella again, what's he doing now?
>Last time I saw him he was screwing all jars shut and asking (coworker) to try and open them
>What a weirdo right
Even if the most alpha dude would follow your suggestions, he would be seen as weird. Imagine if OP, who is probably autistic as well, would be looked at.
What he should do is try to get better at banter by practice. You can't utilise 'horseplay' on the work floor, it's too professional for that.
Schizos on my Jow Forums.
>understands social situations
>autism
I’m just trying to give a guy who was buried alive in front of his coworkers some options to live again. In hindsight, the traps one is something you can only do with friends and he probably shouldn’t do it. However I stand by the chair one. If you’re charismatic and funny, that would be hilarious and not too outwardly demeaning. Maybe don’t call him “little”
Also setting up fake contests is beta but OP needs something to not neck himself
well probably they like him more then they like you, if the qt was into you she would not laugh at his joke maybe even come to your defense...
He doesnt think to much of you thats why he came up with offensive joke... and i dont think you can change that with just one action...
Post body friendo
Your post is also pure autism. You spent time typing this analysis of a post on fit.
Oh how I can already tell the type of person in your fraternity you were.. Anyway, social situations are won verbally, not physically. The only time physical domination will equal social domination is when the two of you are enemies. If you're in a socially hostile enviroment on the work floor and your banter is shit but suddenly start to engage in 'horseplay', it will look like a desperate attempt to act alpha; especially if you're fit.
It's the equivalent of saying 'u wanna fight bro ill fuck u up' after losing an argument. In that moment you admit losing verbally and are therefore desperatly trying to win back the fight by involving your, obviously more dominant if you're picking the fight, stature.
>I’m telling OP to push his coworker around in a chair. Is that so crazy and radical?
It's not, but it's not a way to gain social status. You're litterally rolling your co-worker around for no reason, if OP does this it will be weird rather than dominant. However, saying the 'little jeffry hi ha ho' shit is a surefire way to demote yourself to 'that weird coworker'.
I have a group of friend which is very physical, we fight on the regular but it's all in good fun and in no way determines the social hierarchy of the group; it's determined by banter and especially dealing with said banter. Resolving to 'horseplay' after you lack verbal dominance will be viewed as tryhard. This is even more so if you look fit.
>Actually explaining why you disagree is autism.
Fucking namefags
This. I’m a 100% sure he’s this kind of “guy”
wew
Fuck i forgot to remove the name from the zyzz thread.
Yeah namefagging is also autism.
Autist completely destroyed by another autist
Get another job that doesn't require working with people like that, maybe in the trades.
Your muscles will be appreciated there
And you called my reply cringeworthy? Fucking hell.
Your first mistake was actively pursuing the goal of becoming dominant. That shit happens naturally, or it doesn't.
Your second mistake was firing your weaponised autism onto this board and assuming others couldn't see through it. How is it obvious? Simple. Because you care about what they think about you and you actively change your frame and actions to respond to them.
>tldr, don't take advice from this guy, he's got the book knowledge but not the field knowledge.
Only autism can defeat autism.
Laugh it off and suck his dick to assert dominance
>while you were lifting weights, I was studying wordplay
I’m not saying he should immediately move to horseplay right after losing a round of banter you chode. I’m talking about doing something after OP has already admitted to getting crushed in a verbal situation. What none of you faggots realize, and the reason you’re providing shit advice, is that you can’t ever plan a verbal situation, especially if you’ve already lost one. You’re opening yourself up to get roasted and fighting someone on the level they have already shown they’re comfortable on. It’s just plain stupid. Your whole premise for this post is based off of some delusion that I said OP should immediately confront him through horseplay, which I never did. If he wants to get back, he has to do something in the realm of physical horseplay, plain and simple.
Also, if roughhousing frequently occurs in your group of friends, you’re wrong that it doesn’t do anything to affect social hierarchy. We’re animals man, it can’t be helped.
psychologicalscience.org
>firing your weaponized autism
>How is it obvious?
>Simple
That is so cringe. Neck urself
Also, I’m not the one who is trying to become dominant for fucks sake. However all the retards in here are either telling OP what he should have said or telling him to keep bantering with this guy, which is fucking stupid. I think the best way is through horseplay, and just because I made up some retarded shit in two seconds that struck a bone with all the manlets here doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
The reason is is affecting you like this is because it is partially true. If you want to be confident you have to acknowledge your flaws. Your hairline is receding, so what? We all have our pros and cons. Clearly your body is a pro.
On another note, you also have to understand that the reason he did this in the first place was to make up for his own inadequacies. Your body threatens him, so he chose something he knows is better on him and made fun of it on you.
Ultimately, you have to be able to laugh at yourself, not cry like a bitch.
The worst part of this advice is that you feel this is dominant behaviour. As though even thinking about any of this faggoty shit is dominant.
None of this would even be a thought if you were the actual alpha of the group, that's how I know you never have been.
You just sound like one of them cunt guys that is hiding a lifetime of bullying and inadequacy by being a cunt. Pure beta behaviour.
This is why I've been coming to fit since 07
>not analyzing your own behavior and your social role model’s behavior to realize what is effective and what is not
>projecting his own insecurities of being bullied onto a random poster who is trying to give someone advice on revenge
Science backs me up too on horseplay displaying social dominance. Listen you can think whatever you want about me but it doesn’t change what this thread is about. This is about OP getting back at a coworker, not making friends. If he doesn’t change the groups perception of himself in relation to that coworker there is no way to recover. You can keep insulting me and pretending that Chad and Thad giving you a wedgie after school had nothing to do with your friendless childhood, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m right
This is the true redpilled response to life.
Generally people flex on you for 2 reasons 1) when you threaten them (even if it's unintended by you)
2) if they are just cunts.
Either way just realise that you are what you are and that a lion doesn't concern itself with the thoughts of sheep.
I'm not sure I understand why so many dudes are scared of losing hair and shit, just go bald, it's perfectly fine.
I don't have that issue, no one is balding in my family, but I would go full bald without caring. If you're not a DYEL manlet, being bald is perfectly fine IMO.
So you're, what, 19? This is insecure beta behavior
"Indeed, it's just one of the things I'm trying to make up for. My life's been a game of catch-up!"
Say it in a cheerful tone and smile
you could have just joked like or "no that's what the drugs and alcohol are for" or something, then wait for the perfect time to get him back, be patient and a perfect time will arise
was he being a cunt or just joking around? either way just look for a time to publicly roast him back, again be patient it'll come
Why? You horny?
My standard retort for stuff like that is "I see you need to pull others down so they feel as small and defeated as yourself. Let me know how that positivity works out for you."
too autistic, you need to show you're smarter than him by roasting him back better
That's shit advice and you'll be seen as a try-hard. The rule is to be self deprecating and understated but forceful. It's a hard balance that takes years of practice, but worth it.
You just can't get mad user. Reply something like
>haha yeah you're right, seems to be working pretty well
Then depending on whether you're dyel or not you could flex a cep. A chad move would be to pick the guy up and start overhead pressing him instead.
Either make a complaint to HR or get some steroids and pop his head off
This is a thread about how to get revenge moron not how someone should ideally act
I would have said this
Bro thas is how you get punched in the face
The Best response is to not be bothered. From there you can be witty or just say something a little silly. Most important thing is to just be cool though, because else you seem insecure.
All you had to say was
>nah, having muscles is just better than not having them. But... *look him up and down" I guess you wouldn't know haha
fit wins again
The jerk store called
Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? I hope every single post itt saying " you can't get mad or anything" is an American because it's the country of pussies so I wouldn't expect any less from them.
Some little weak faggot who's jealous of your body and doesn't have the mental or physical strength to achieve it himself humiliates you and instead of finding a way to beat the shit out of him when no one is around or at the very fucking least coming up with a better reply you let it ruin your day, your self esteem and your workout only to come running to your computer so you could make this pitiful thread. If this or something similar happens to you and you act like OP then you are a disgrace, you're not a man.
My manager at work is older, taller but I’m in better shape even though he lifts at the same gym. I’m not balding but the banter gets absolutely savage between us.
I find it best not to ever start it but be brutal with finishing it.
He’s pretty effeminate so I call him an old man twink in denial and give him shit about his Chinese tattoos.
Take it in your stride and laugh it off but otherwise be ready to call him an old man because that one always stings people that are older.
OP, hit him in the back of the head with a hammer when he's not looking!!!FACT!!!
Imagine being so primitive a joke makes you violent.
Fuck off Mohammed
"haha yeah, and I guess your big mouth is making up for your small dick"
Honestly if this faggot is going to pull that card, I would have pointed out that he is insecure about being smaller than you so he brought up your hairline. Make it real serious because he is willing to disrespect you. He is a candy ads and is too afraid of your gains to fight so he will shut his fucking mouth. Don't have hair problems myself but making fun of someone physically is a sign of insecurity
Thanks for once again confirming there are legit autists on this Laotian spirit cooking speakeasy.
>Lol I don't even train!
OP if I learned anything from being a weak kid, it is that men will try to physically dominate you to feel on top. I don't know why but some will. A lot won't but their is always that one guy that needs to feel like he is better than everyone. I personally just looksmaxxed until I was more beautiful than everyone else. Now when guys are with their woman I can see them flirt with me which makes them automatically beta. He won't stop, OP. This guy is testing you. All bullies start with little things to see how far they can go. If he EVER tries to physically dominate you, subdue him immediately. I don't let faggots touch me unless I know they are having fun like guys do. There is a difference. You have stand up or assume a cuck role.
Should’ve started to cry
This would give you the emotional advantage and made him seem like an asshole
Then this would allow you to start beating the shit out of him without any repercussions
Based
Not bad.
Solid
Ok but could backfire
works every time
terribly underrated post
I remeber someone did something similar but he was a spic manlet and like all of them he runs his spanish rape baby mouth so theres no reason to try with them
need to work on your insecurities mate, thats something you should have a laugh about too gotta be realistic. how did you take it? just beet red and walk away, thats a turn off for girls.
>How do I recover
Cut the tires in his car, drag a key across the paint.
If he has half a brain, he'll take the hint and not fuck with you anymore. If he'll try to do some shit, pry open the hood and take some shit out and trash it.
You don't try to get back at him, you destroy his shit. That'll hurt more.
t. was a cunt in my teens to anyone that crossed me
These.
>I'm gonna fuck your wife first, and then your mother with these guns
And flex a cep.
Find out if he has a wife.
Don't introduce yourself to her as a work colleague or anything, just bump into her somewhere.
Flirt with her, make her feel special.
Fuck her hard again and again for a month.
Take photos and videos.
Then send them to him.
Please op do this
