The system of ideas behind dog engagement theory suggests that there is a net positive benefit from interacting with others as if they were dogs. From playful banter to teasing and trolling, the behaviors that bring about joy in dogs will also bring about joy in fellow humans - especially romantic partners. This stems from the belief that most take life too seriously and do not wish to risk awkward moments in pursuit of genuine and fun interactions. Those who subscribe to dog engagement theory are viewed as comedic and charismatic socializers in any setting and can turn any gathering into an enjoyable hangout.
Amanda: “You guys should invite Matt to the party! He’s such a funny guy.”
Steve: “Yea sure, but am I not funny too?”
Amanda: “Kind of. But Matt is just so charismatic and playful. I think he follows dog engagement theory so that’s why he’s better.”
Steve: “I don’t think I can compete with him then.”
Amanda: “You’re right Steve. I think we should both see other men.”

Get the Dog Engagement Theorymug. A metalcore band that is actually different then others, The band contains 5 members
Justin Foley: Drummer
Joel Stroetzel: Rythm guitarist
Mike D'Antonio: Bassist
Adam Dutkiewicz: Lead Guitarist
Jesse Leach: Vocalist
Unlike other Metalcore bands. Killswitch Engage's song isn't filled with breakdowns and instead has a nice riff. Sure there's gonna have breakdowns but not enough. Also it's known for the former vocalist Howard Jones which is the best vocalist in the genre due to his powerful operatic vocals.

Get the Failsauce Engagemug. Dismissive Engagement / dismissive engaging
When someone half-heartedly enters a debate just to shut it down, insult, or provoke — then immediately claims they don’t care, cutting off any real discussion.
They engage long enough to invalidate your point (or rile you up), but then retreat into “I don’t care” mode so they don’t have to defend themselves. It’s basically a one-way valve for arguments: their opinion goes through, yours gets dismissed.
• You: “I think the government should…”
Them: “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I don’t care anyway, go argue with someone else.”
• You: “Here’s why I like this policy.”
Them: “LMAO that’s trash, but whatever, not my problem.”
