Remember to always be the physically, mentally, and emotionally dominant one around other men.

If he laughs, you laugh harder.

Make strong eye contact.

Lead the conversation through asking questions.

Touch his shoulder firmly when you speak.

Keep conversations short and brief.

Smile, and be in a better, calmer, more grounded mood than he is (because remember, you have the prize and he doesn’t.)

You want to send a message of “I’m kind, but I run this bitch. Don’t try a damn thing.”

The most attractive man is the most prestigious man with the least needs in the room.

Never underestimate the competitive instinctual nature of other males over females. I don’t care how much you think this guy is your “best friend.”

And if this all sounds like too much for you, I would not recommend bringing your male friends around your girlfriend. For now.

Go do some reading and some inner work. Go to mens groups. Get a coach. Meditate. Etc. etc.
