I think I have a nose for picking up these aloof girls and I actually call them out on it. Don't know if this translates well to English. In Dutch it is very funny to tell them they are acting like a diva. Whenever I tell them that (with a smile), they usually feel caught and get giggly or defensive or whatever. Usually have a much smoother interaction with them thereafter.
My 2 cents
I went out a couple times with a girl like that. When I called her on it, she not only copped to it, but considered it a source of pride. We didn't go out again.
My experience too.
Perhaps there is a better way to handling it, I'm not sure. The best chance I've given myself with these girls is to basically match the persona they put forward.
If they are very picky or a slight diva then coming off weak in any way will not be tolerated, you need to match their status... but I haven't had 100% success with this.
Calling them out on something like they do actually believe seems to backfire.
For example, if someone said to me "Estate, you really think you're a good football player don't you? I'm on to you"...
... I COULD say "Oh, you've got me, you must know a lot about football to call me on it" and then come crashing down to earth.
BUT... I DO believe I am... so if someone tried to bring me down to earth it just feels like they are taking value, almost negging me to bring me to their level.
Girls who consider themselves "high status" often seem proud of that fact, simply calling them out on it will just make them go "Yeah, I am, so what".
Like the cool kids in school... Tell them "You're really not that cool are you... it's all an act"... what will their responce be? A breakdown telling you that yes, it's all just an act to hide their insecurities? Or do they just give you a wedgie?
