Mehow – The Hidden Frames of Destroying “Alpha Male Other Guys†– AMOGing
November 6, 2008 by Adonis
AMOGing is the technical PUA term for shutting out a competing man in a set.
Many of you are probably surprised that I’m writing an article on AMOGing.
Well …
If you read the Get the Girl! Manual you know that in 99.95% of infield situations all you need to do to AMOG is to ignore the other guy.
So if that’s the case, why am I writing this surprise article?
It turns out that, for reasons I’m not ready to reveal quite yet, the implications and use of AMOGing extend far beyond its currently conventional uses. Faced with this new reality, I realized that I had to actually learn how to AMOG.
Live, in the moment AMOGing is something I have a hard time with because:
a) I’m usually surprised that its happening and sort of get a bit started emotionally
b) When emotionally startled, I have a hard time coming back with the perfect comeback in seconds flat.
In AMOGing coming back with a perfectly timed and unique cut down in seconds is key. If you stall your response more than a second you are done.
So what is required to execute the perfect AMOG tactic is a simple mental model that allows for quick and easy improvisation. Now, that I’m actually doing AMOGing I had to arrive at that model.
I’ve been carefully studying how the masters of AMOGing do what they do and I have arrived at a very easy to use mental model. Guys I consider really good at this are Kamouflage from our own organization and Matador from Venusians Arts. Matador AMOGs everything for fun … you, the cat, the dog, your cereal bowl and anything he can get his hands on. Living with him is like having all the benefits of a backwoods Texas high school education without actually having to live in a trailer (if you are paying attention … I just used the technique I’m about to explain to you). All the good AMOGers fuck with each other for fun … its good improv practice and its fun.
When Kamo and Matador are at their best they always use on particular technique that appears to be an unconscious talent they posses. They use what I’m calling, “hidden AMOG frames.†And based on those frames they freestyle.
A classic that I heard all the time from Matador at Project Miami is something like …
“Your wife and kids called … they want to know when the heat is going to be back on.â€
In field, the above statement implies two things:
1. the person you are talking too is married with wife and kids but out macking on other girls
2. the person you are taking to is broke
Other ways to imply the same two facts above are:
“Brooo … You’ hustling this girl tooooo HARD for five dolla … the welfare check should take care of your wife and kids.†(do this with a fake southern accent)
“Man … how you gonna pay for the fifth baby.†(more fake southern accent).
A lame way to do it is:
“Why are you, a married guy, out here talking to these girls when you should be working to turn the heat on for your wife and kids?â€
The last example isn’t half bad but it doesn’t give emotional value. The 3 examples above it do.
The secret to great AMOGing is to give massive emotional value while at the same time cutting down your opponent with “hidden frames.†When AMOGing your opponent should be laughing so hard they have no ability to come back at you with anything.
When AMOGing it doesn’t matter what the person just said (although it helps to loosely free associate the cut down to what was just said in some situations) anywhere near as much as you saying something mean and insanely funny. With relevance being a non-requirement all we have to do is improvise from a hidden frame.
What are “hidden AMOG frames?â€
Hidden AMOG Frames are the statements you are obliquely making about someone. For example, one hidden frame is that his girl is sleeping with you. But just saying “I’m fucking your girlfriend†isn’t a good AMOG because it is too direct and hence sounds lame and doesn’t give value. The correct way to do this is to improvise a statement of fact that indirectly but strongly implies the hidden frame. Here are some examples of quality AMOG phrases that imply that you are sleeping with his girl:
“Look man … I’d have the time to consider what your saying … if only your girlfriend would stop calling me.â€
Or a classic from Lovedrop … whenever he mentions any girl of his you just say, “Did she ask about me?â€
Here are some examples of hidden frames and improvised AMOG phrases that imply the frames:
1. He lives in a trailer – “The trailer park called, they are wondering when you are going to pay the rent.†(southern accent)
2. He’s married – “Brooo … you can’t just take your ring off and expect to have game.†(honest advice delivery)
3. Hes’ addicted – “Hey man … how has the press been treating you since you got out of rehab?†(dominant delivery)
4. Your sleeping with his mom – “Your mom called … she’s wondering if she can spend Christmas with me.†(dominant delivery)
There are many more frames and infinite implementations of those frames.
AMOGing gets funnier and meaner the more frames get implied all at once such as … “Bro .. I would totally sleep with your sister but I don’t have five dollars.†“Your mom … she has low self esteem … she should at least charge a twenty.†Those imply that both a) I’m sleeping with your mom/sister and b) your mom/sister is a cheap hooker.
To AMOG all you need to do is pick a few frames and improvise off that. If you aren’t good at on the spot improvisation then you can use this system to invent your own unique AMOG lines and then use them like sound bites.
Enjoy.
I will reveal the multiple greater uses of AMOGing pretty soon. For now, those methods are experimental and we’re only teaching them in boot camps.
