Due to popular demand, I present more useful tips on being an asshole.

Never show irritation. You irritate other people. Other people amuse you. Even if this is not true, make it look like it is.

Strike at weakness. For example, around women over 25, casually mention that the singer in one of your bands is 17.

Never retaliate when insulted. You will be insulted a lot. Either ignore it completely, look smugly satisfied, or respond that you aren't what you are being accused of, but in fact something far worse.

Make your rejections blunt. Instead of "I'm sorry, but..." just say "No" or "Hell no". You don't want to send the message that the rejection is difficult or painful for you. Make it look like you enjoy it!

Remind others of your superiority. Are you better or more successful than someone? Work that into conversation. That does not mean mentioning your fancy degree - instead mention actual accomplishments which your fancy degree made possible, like having a job ordering people around. I like to irritate guitarists by reminding them that I'm in demand and they might be too, if only they weren't available in such surplus quantities.

Never abuse authority. If you abuse authority, you come off as someone who's an asshole only when he has power. Show those beneath you that you don't need power to be an asshole.

Look good. Good-looking people get away with much more. Of course there's only so much you can do, but be in good physical shape and dress like someone successful. If you don't want to dress like an adult, this is where I suppose expensive thugwear can come in handy.

Learn from those you hate. Think of the most obnoxious and despicable person you've ever known. What did they do to successfully get under your skin?

Of course, this isn't something everyone can pull off. If you just aren't man enough to be a successful asshole, perhaps you can give being a Renaissance Man a try:

The Renaissance Man is a modern man who is as alpha as he can be despite not being rich and powerful and while still living within the limitations set upon him by society and his power level.
