EGO STROKING

[Duchess]

I don't see this happening in Mock, I think because no one cares if they are liked or not.

Some observations -

- stroke the ego of the biggest mouth so it's not turned on you.

- step lightly and throw out adjectives like, handsome, beautiful, smart, fun, adorable, etc; whether they are true adjectives or not, it's hard to slam someone who is so complimentary (not for me)

- defer, defer, defer

- kiss an ass, one that is higher on the forum ladder than you are.

These are just a couple observations, they are not exaggerated nor embellished, I've seen them first hand and usually done by women. My initial reaction is always the same, I want to vomit on their shoes.
