If a woman asks me out for drinks, I just clarify that she's getting the first round. Otherwise she's asking me to buy her a drink, which is an entirely different question.
That depends, if the other person is bigger or meaner than you then yes, smering your blood in the host's furniture it's frowned upon in most cultures.
+Tzadeck That's not a bad thing, necessarily. Better to end a conversation when it's still good rather than when it goes stale. At least there's a bigger chance the other persone will engage in a conversation with you next time as well.
I just treat people the way I want to be treated. No small talk, no random bullshit just tell me. So I end conversations with "Excellent! good speaking with you" and I walk away.
+The2005rwb It's hard to digest the fact that people feel like they need this kind of schematic instructions. But unfortunately these are just the first consequences for spending lives in office captivity which is itself disturbing from the beginning..
+DJLO It is by realising this video actually exists that we realize living outside as much as one can starts to migrate from healthy to absolutely essential. Especially these days I believe.
+The2005rwb For some reason I don't understand, people have been mean to me. Like I've been cussed out at work over petty things. And that sort of lead me to looking around for videos like this, think I'm a little disconnected over how things work with people.
I always end my conversation with this end line. "As much as I would love chit chat with you until the inevitable heat death of the universe, I literally have a million better things to do."
+TabZa123 The stache has my vote. That's a rare gift to be able to grow that shape. My hair color is light brown so it doesn't look that great when it grows out. Black facial hair has better definition in my opinion.
How about that awkward interaction for the remainder of the party each time you bump into that person again? When you both pretend like you didn't just connect eyes again... How do you deal with that? Those awkward post-conversation encounters basically ruin the conversation you previously had. It almost proves the conversation was a complete waste of time and of no value to one or both of the individuals.
You've been smoking too much pot, over-analysing everything. Just say "hey man!" or do something weird like "I'm gonna take a duuuuu-uuump!" with a funny voice.
Vegard Magndal In all honesty, it's only as awkward as you make it. The way you approach any of these lines with your tone is key because it can make a notable difference.
Was about to ask how to accomplish this w/o lying b/c I hate lying, but then you immediately addressed that issue after your first point. Bravo. Helpful.
That's some good advice. Looks like I picked up most of this stuff already on my own, but I learned a few more pointers. One of my favorite things to do is if the conversation becomes one sided because I've lost interest, I leave off with my own string of sentences, so it looks like I'm the one who wants to do all the talking. Then I say, "Well, I'll let you go", so they feel I've tied them up, and allow them to move on. Works like a charm.
How could they not specifically cover the "French Exit", where you just turn tail and book it when someone is in mid sentence? I've actually had to do that a few times when all other more diplomatic options failed, including the slightly more polite "good day" exit discussed.
Ending a conversation is easy. You "can" say: "well c ya nerd" and walk away. Doing it with politeness and giving good vibes to the other person may be a little less simple. I think that's the issue that's been treated in the video.
So i am guessing my two techniques arent up to scratch then. If the first fails then my second is last resort and works unless they chase me. Option 1; Explain that you may have defecated in your trousers, or similar conversation killer, hell keep it relevant to what the person has been yabbing on about, hedgehogs for example, say you ran one over on the way to the party, and walk away. If option 1 fails, simply shout I SAID GOOD DAY SIR and fucking run
The video cut out at 0:54, and I thought it was on purpose. " There are a few things you can do to disengage in the smoothest - " and then silence. Touche, Art of Manliness. That WAS smooth.
Enoch H Hahaha, you're fucking lame. Do you know something called OLDER PEOPLE? Look around....they're everywhere. And they can be a lot of fun too. Turn off the iphone and enjoy a conversation with your grandpa sometime. It'll be good to you.
Enoch H Manners were more valued. Yes, there were the ones who were naturally more skilled, but the less skilled ones couldn't hide behind their phones or just pretend they're a social problem and get away with that.
This is a totally valid posting frankly. In my experience I think as we are now firmly in the 21st Century it is vital to be realistic. People simply do not trust people's "exits", reasons or even when people do actually engage back in a conversation these days. If one is faced with a prolix personality especially on a topic that is completely random and useless to most I find saying " How extraordinary" and smiling and walking away the best thing. I also find myself also saying "Well that's interesting idea/notion" and then remove myself physically. Trying to have a win win simply is just not as possible these days as most chat's are just not realistic. I find a coded response and physical exiting gets the message forward. People are very rebellious and it is very trying to make up stories or lies to exit, or even making them feel included. Because they still will know that they are rejected and then often just hunt you down for more attention at another dealing. Validating attention in social situations is a difficult business really. The old etiquette comes across as rather fake and almost desperate point scoring against the dullard. And yet complete decimation of the leagues of babble people with superficial and or dull convro's would be cruel. I find being wry and a little humorous goes a long long way. But by all means do ninja out right after saying it. Woosh!!
+Daniel Raphael Hell, I usually just keep my conversations short & to the point. I'll rarely ask more than a question or two and wait for others to approach me. If they find me interesting on the approach, then they'll engage in conversation. Otherwise, IF they're looking at me as if I'm the invisible man & I detect that type of response or body language, then I ignore them. My time & thoughts have value & I will not waste it on the uninterested.
+Defx10 It depends. If there is a long lull in the conversation and everyone is just looking around.. I'll walk away and straight to someone else I intend to talk to. If they're in the middle of explaining something painfully boring then I usually tell them I'm trying to meet someone important, or just *any* plausable excuse to leave. Asking them where the restroom is can be used anywhere pretty much. If you're walking away in the middle of someone who's speaking about something then yeah, I'd totally think you were on drugs or autistic to some degree, or stupendously arrogant.
My standby is *look at watch* "Hey, it was nice talking to you!" And just walk off nodding as they continue. Also, the ending to this was expected but still genius. Great work, AoM.
If you're like me, and you're pretty indifferent toward humanity in general (but still wanna be polite, just 'cause), shift your gaze away mid-conversation whenever you feel like it, then walk away nonchalantly with a back wave at the person (optional).
Is it OK just to quietly press a gun to his heart and discretely silence him? Maybe preface the trick by saying, oh, "You know, there are plenty of ways of silencing a firearm, for instance, by using someone's body to muffle it." Then slip away from his stinky feet like a ninja...
The best way to end a conversation is to say something funny in the lull, and then walk away while they are laughing and after a few steps, look back over your shoulder and smile and give a little wink as a way to let the person know they are cool, even if they're not.
Hmm, what's your advice for someone who has no social life, never finds a party to go to, and stays home all night playing video games. Please make a video about feeling alienated in a big city and maybe present some tips on how to make new social connections that are meaningful. Thanks!
This was immensely helpful to me, I watched this video before going to my first large scale Cristmas party and my friends were told how nice and pleasant I was.
When somebody is doing monologues and being way too talkative...I simply pay them back with the same currency: start to talk even more than they are. Do not let them reply and just let the words do their job. Also start contradicting him/her with sentences like: "Well...I don't think that's entirely true. You see...". Very subtle and gentle contradictions that won't be consciously noticeable, but will make the other person feel that little discomfort that will eventually make them want to walk out of the conversation. Just be natural as you truly believe in what you're saying. If you've read this far...well you've got the point. Cheers.
I tend to use "Is there anything else..." to let annoying people know I have talked my fill and will apologize and say what I have to do with someone who is not annoying. Apologizing and stating the need to leave shows the person you enjoy talking to them, but have something you must attend to. My goal is to not offend anyone, but not pretend to like someone if I don't. I simply wrap it up, say "Have a nice day Sir" and move on. :)
I don't sugarcoat anything. The other day I told a colleague "Now you're just talking about your life story. I'll listen to it later, but right now we have to get back to work" He laughed and apologised. I rather be honest and have people be honest to me then follow these tips you mentioned.
Best thing that works for me aside from just being straight up...out talk the talker. Talkers love to talk, and if they can't talk and you're out talking them, they'll leave you alone
This reminds me of something a friend I had years ago told me about his grandfather. If company was overstaying their welcome, he'd get up and announce, "Martha, start turning these lights out; these people's ready to go _home_!" Now _that's_ whatcha call _tact_! (heh,heh)
It's been fun, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Anyways, thank you for these great tips, I'll be sure to use them soon. I'm gonna go ahead and subscribe to your channel so I can know when you have new videos up. GOOD DAY, sir.
I like the two drink method best, if I get stuck in a bad conversation I can bolt just like in the video or if I find someone I like I can give them the second drink. If I get cornered I can slam both drinks and stumble away saying, "Excuse me, I need another drink."
I just don't understand how some people can't read body language. Like how come you are not able to understand that if I'm not even looking at you it means I'm not interested in anything you're saying. Or if I'm not facing you or show any sign of me paying attention. Yet they keep on talking as if they were paid to do so. Maybe they are aware of my lack of interest but they don't care. They just wanna talk. This applies to anything that deals with communication, like selling. People at the malls who literally assault you to sell you their product... That's not how it works! You don't get somebody to listen to you by making them uncomfortable! geez, is that so hard to comprehend?
+Casey Vee I've recently reflected upon this topic and I came to the conclusion that I already have enough people around me that I like and that like me. So I don't need to play the hypocrite in front of every annoying fuck.

"I have to go, take care." Firmly and clearly said. I think when people aren't quite self aware it's convenient to give them a slight shock
i go with the "uh huh" *turn off disinterested and walk away*
THIS CHANNEL HAS EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WONDER HOW TO DO IT MANLY!!
Ending on a slightly dismissive witty or comical remark is another good way out of conversational bear traps.
I'm not a man but your blog is my FAVORITE! Thanks for all the good stuff.
twist your mustache bruh
+Deep Indr ...This is definitely a "betyár" style mustache! Typical Hungarian way of look !!
LOL. 2:40: "Fabricating excuses is tempting, but can come off as dishonest."
Yeah... because it is!
Great video.
I never knew there was such thing as middle aged hipsters
I tend to use "Is there anything else..." to let annoying people know I have talked my fill and will apologize and say what I have to do with someone who is not annoying. Apologizing and stating the need to leave shows the person you enjoy talking to them, but have something you must attend to.
My goal is to not offend anyone, but not pretend to like someone if I don't. I simply wrap it up, say "Have a nice day Sir" and move on. :)
That must make the situation so akward
Not at all. It is just being honest. I don't want someone spending time with me if they do not want to and I am the same by others. :)
hell yeah more vids!
I don't sugarcoat anything. The other day I told a colleague "Now you're just talking about your life story. I'll listen to it later, but right now we have to get back to work"
He laughed and apologised.
I rather be honest and have people be honest to me then follow these tips you mentioned.
don't start one
Best thing that works for me aside from just being straight up...out talk the talker. Talkers love to talk, and if they can't talk and you're out talking them, they'll leave you alone
"The value menu is the best" in what motherfucking world is a Mcdouble better than Big Mac?
GOUST WILLIAM in my world whichever one is damn cheaper
GOUST WILLIAM the sesame buns on big mac are disgusting so yes.
GOUST WILLIAM a combination of a mcdouble and a junior chicken is higly superior than the big mac, even without the big mac sauce
GOUST WILLIAM mcdouble with big mac sauce is $1. big mac is $5. im poor
Look, though big macs are overpriced, and they threw out the 2 macs for $5, you still gotta admit FLAVOR wise the big Mac is superb
You deserve so much more recognition. Cheers to you, good man.
I have a question to ask the host before he leaves?
Where is the host going from their own party? :s
seems like practical advice!!
I have to deal with people's natural soliloquies all the time, at a call center.
Why am I watching this , I can't even start a conversation
This reminds me of something a friend I had years ago told me about his grandfather. If company was overstaying their welcome, he'd get up and announce, "Martha, start turning these lights out; these people's ready to go _home_!"
Now _that's_ whatcha call _tact_! (heh,heh)
It's been fun, I haven't laughed this hard in a while.
Anyways, thank you for these great tips, I'll be sure to use them soon.
I'm gonna go ahead and subscribe to your channel so I can know when you have new videos up.
GOOD DAY, sir.
Where did the video series go!? Why haven't we seen a new one in a half a year? Wish yall the best.
"I have to go feed the growth on my upper lip" works if you have a rug on your upper lip.
Smile, and say "It is a great talk, and good to see you"
Commander Shepard: "I should go."
The bloopers at the end are the best thing ever.
"Well, please fuck off"
I like the two drink method best, if I get stuck in a bad conversation I can bolt just like in the video or if I find someone I like I can give them the second drink. If I get cornered I can slam both drinks and stumble away saying, "Excuse me, I need another drink."
"im really pregnant" sorry gbye
Haha. I don't mind you being pregnant, I've got latex gloves and gallons of lub.
I just don't understand how some people can't read body language. Like how come you are not able to understand that if I'm not even looking at you it means I'm not interested in anything you're saying. Or if I'm not facing you or show any sign of me paying attention. Yet they keep on talking as if they were paid to do so. Maybe they are aware of my lack of interest but they don't care. They just wanna talk.
This applies to anything that deals with communication, like selling. People at the malls who literally assault you to sell you their product... That's not how it works! You don't get somebody to listen to you by making them uncomfortable! geez, is that so hard to comprehend?
Is it OK to just say "You are one boring fuck, and I am going to talk to someone else."?
+Casey Vee works every time for me.
+Casey Vee if you want to leave an impression that you have no self-control similar to a 6-year old boy.
+A Jalapeño somethin tells me hes not gonna care much about what that borin fuck thinks of him..
asdf So right.
+Casey Vee I've recently reflected upon this topic and I came to the conclusion that I already have enough people around me that I like and that like me. So I don't need to play the hypocrite in front of every annoying fuck.
Thanks for the chat, Mario!
