I'm always the guy on the side who gets made fun of by the other guy so the girl can like him more and laugh at his jokes about me. So I get putdown and on top of that I go home alone while the other guy goes home with a girl (a girl that laughed at the guy's jokes about me). This has go to be one of the most frustrating positions.
I used to be just like you. These days hardly anybody makes fun of me, and if they do it's in a fun way.
Basically you have to stop looking like a chump. The reason they are making fun of you is because it's easy.
If you are/do either of the things below expect people to crack on you:
-Don't walk straight
-Speak in a very soft voice
-Are too high energy
-Look down when spoken to
-Generally afraid to talk to strangers.
Basically what you are trying to do is build RESPECT. If you let somebody put you down you have lost your credibility.
When somebody put you down all you have to do is crack on them back. don't get pissed, because if you do they have won. Instead give them a witty comeback. They won't hit you or punch you or anything. If your comeback is witty enough you will end up GAINING the respect of your peers. You guys will also get a good laugh
remember, when a friend will make fun of you that means they generally like you and are comfortable enough with you to joke around. But if you don't defend yourself you WILL lose the respect they have for you.
