o gahd that pisses me off i hate how people are so ****ing stupid sometimes and they cant even see it
Yeah, I feel like he's either completely socially ******ed or he is a complete *******. I'm not sure which one I'd prefer.

i'm not sure if you know how his relationship is or not but maybe they have an open one where hooking up with other ppl is okay or heavy flirting with other ppl is okay. maybe last week his gf danced all over some guy so he was having his fun.
They don't. After he made a series of insane comments I said, "well I wouldn't have thought you had a girlfriend the way you were talking and acting that night" (he had been talking about how he'd cheat on her in a heartbeat if the girl was attractive enough, but only if she was "hot"). I immediately felt bad, but then decided I shouldn't and let the comment hang. He went on some long speech about loving his girlfriend and being dedicated to only her and he'd never blah blah (it was all bull****). I said, "you're making my point, you know that, right?" He just kind of stared at me. It was a dumb waste of a conversation, but I had to get him to STFU about this issue and I knew the only way I'd do that is if I showed I was willing to pour it on thick.

Yeah, I think this was it, except that my action clearly should not have embarrassed him in this situation. However, as you pointed out, it definitely did for some reason or he felt like he was getting outplayed. All the BS coming out of his mouth was typical male posturing garbage. I hate male posturing more than anything. I actually asked him at one point in the conversation to "cut the alpha male bravado ****. it doesn't work on me. it just annoys me." and he didn't even deny he was intentionally doing it.

I think it's worth relating some of the content of his needling if we are going to talk about it. He kept bringing it up and calling me "brody" which was just lol-worthy. After I blew him off like 3-4 times he finally upped the ante a bit. He then started saying, "well if you pull that brody **** again I'll have to punch you in the face next time" with like a half-laugh, but it was pretty clear to me he wasn't joking. I also knew he's too much of a pussy to ever punch me in the face. Not that I could beat him up, probably not at all, but because it would just give me even more leverage over him in every situation. Every time he pulls an alpha male stunt and I either decline to react or react in a rational or whimsical fashion, it makes him look stupider.
But after he started making repeated comments like that (note this was in front of a female 3rd party who already knew the full situation from my standpoint), I couldn't let it go anymore. I don't want to say he got to me, but he made it clear I was going to need to deal with it if I wanted to resolve it. I was hoping I could just let it go and it would drift away. I guess he needed to feed some sort of inner need.
It seems like such a stupid thing to get in such a confrontation about, but I need to repeat he escalated it there by constantly bringing it up (and mis-construing it) in social situations around other people. I simply could not allow that to continue and to beat down his alpha male posturing I had to go all out. Obviously I much prefer (and always do) to pick my battles in the realm of reason rather than physical confrontation, which he seems to (immaturely) prefer.
The best was how he kept trying to get me to apologize. He'd give his half-assed hedge of an apology and then pause and look at me. After he did this like 3 times I said, "I'm not sorry." and had to struggle hard to not burst out laughing because the situation had become so insanely ridiculous at that point.
