So been talking with a girl from okc, she mentions she lost her fwb who had to move blah blah which resulted in this conversation

Her: we'll have to play it by ear, you are pretty cute, but so are other guys so what separates you?

Me: ever been with a middle easterner before?

Her: ha no actually. Been proposed to by three of them though

Me: there you go try everything once

Her: hmm convincing argument. I'll have to think about it
here's my number: xxxxxxx , you can try to convince me more
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now Im torn between playing the asshole role of (dont stay by the phone too long) or jokingly blow it off by saying, do you do a conference call and let the men duke it out over phone to see who's the winner.

I know she wont be the only one to play this game so for future reference and for me to move on to the next game level how would you professionals hand it? Do you put the bitch in her place right away?

I don't like how she is qualifying you by asking you what seperates you from the others. I think you should be qualifying HER. I woulda dodged her question and reframed it so she has to prove herself to you.

Lots of minority guys overdo the race thing. I stopped integrating 'ever been with a [mixed tri-race whatever] before' ages ago.

You lost the frame right at the start.

Better answer "You'll have to see for yourself, lets catch up for a drink on tue round 8"

Now you're stuck trying to get the frame back. She just lumped you in the same category as 5+ other dudes she's keeping herself entertained with.

yeah, you're sunk now, NEVER respond to a qualifier the way she wants you to.......brush that shit off immediately. Who is she to be qualifying you???? (thats the frame of mind I take)

Even better, you should have throw the question back in her face with a little sass.
