Guys show love to each other by making fun of each other.
Harmless ribbing.
Three rules:
1: Don’t go for the jugular. When friends rib each other, they know not to go for a weak spot.
2: Don’t rib the other person to make yourself feel better or feel superior.
3: Spread the ribbing love.
If you are a victim of male ribbing, and,
1. Someone keeps going for the jugular, then know that he is a dick. Feel free to whack back. Everyone has a weakness. Use it. Find the green kryptonite and shove it up his ass.
2. If he is ribbing to make himself feel better – pity him. OR refer to rule 1. He is trying to establish a food-chain. No mercy.
3. If the love is being shared, don’t be sensitive. If the love isn’t being shared then:
a. If the whole group is ribbing you only, time to leave the group.
b. If only that guy is focusing fire on you, time to mobilize the group to whack him, but remember, if you are lower on the food chain this may potentially be fatal to your status in the group. If you’re not confident in your status in the group, then refer to rule 1.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
