I'm a dude who doesn't understand why guys "try" you. I have had guys do this and then some other guy say's , "Ohhhh, he's trying you man!" I think I'm supposed to come up with some clever come back and put the guy who is trying me in his place thus successfully fending off the attempt at assaulting me. I don't care about the specific try but I do care about the results. People don't know I don't care, they think I'm unwilling to defend myself. I need to play the game because even though I don't care about the try I do care what the perception of me is when I don't defend against it.
I want to know why other guys try you and understand why such a thing is relevant to most people. At least the people I know see it as legitimate.
