Gaming with guys that are more attractive than you
I’ve always coasted through my game pretty easily because I was usually (not to be cocky) the best looking guy in the room. Recently though, I got a new roommate and he’s taller, buffer, and more handsome than me. We’re both college athletes, we both work the same job during the off-season, and we’re both good conversationalists. Basically, we’re the same exact person, except he’s a 10 and I’m a 9. Whenever we go out, without even talking to girls they’ll come up and ask for his number. I’m wondering how you can possibly compete against attractiveness when you don’t have anything else (like status, money, etc.) to trump it with. I don’t even think I can outgame him because we’re both extremely outgoing and eccentric guys... I’m not jealous of my friend at all, I’m actually pumped for him when he closes. I’m just trying to get my piece of the pie too. How do you go up to the hottest girl in the bar and convince her to take the downgrade out of the two guys that are there together? I don’t like talking to a chick and having her thinking in her head that she wishes it was the other guy hitting on her.

I remember seeing a video on this phenomenon somewhere on YouTube, but no matter your SMV, if you're the highest in your group, you get a boost--even if you're like a 7 among 6s. It's hard to compete in that situation.
As as far as I can reckon, the only way around this is talking to your friend and asking him to actively wing for you. To have him boost you and maybe even disqualify himself to the girl you're interested in. If he won't help you, I'm not sure there's much you can do to compete other than treating him like a standard AMOG, which is probably problematic.
