How to handle AMOGs when you don’t speak the language
05-26-2018, 04:27 AM
It’s happened to me a few times now where I’ll go out in a foreign country with a wing, be doing well in a set (but speaking English), then out of nowhere some local guys who they barely know will start speaking to the set in the local language and shut us out. It’s frustrating because if they’re half decent it seems hard to defend against, it’s easier for them to joke / make conversation because of the lack of communication problems.
I was wondering, has anyone else experienced this problem, and as a foreign guy is there any good way to deal with it?

Yeah obviously learning the language is the best way, but I’m asking specifically for the case where you’re in a country for a few days or weeks and don’t have the time to get fluent, or don’t plan on returning.

If you're jacked like Linux, you probably won't be AMOG'd often. Being as big and intimidating as possible goes far in places like China where the people are smaller. It may not totally stop AMOG attempts but it will cut down on them significantly. In places where people are bigger and more extroverted, like the Carribean, it might be liable to get you in a fight if you try to intimidate locals.
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.
