"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hey everyone,

For the past month I've been training in mma. (Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, boxing, wrestling). Doing real good because of my physical strength no one can go toe to toe strengthwise namely at my weight. Gives me a good base. Still the real experienced bjj guys are tappin me out every time i make a stupid move. I really love this sport its a lot like playing chess when your on the ground. I'm definitely all about competing in a few months.

who else is into it?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I've been involved for more than 2 years - more so focused on Muay Thai and boxing than BJJ, though I really should train more with BJJ. It's a lot of fun and great for confidence.

I started out boxing but I got into MMA because it's more exciting in my opinion. I stopped because I went back to school. I want to gain 20 pounds so it's back to the weights for me. Hopefully I can get back into it after the school year is up and start working on my ju-jitsu and ground skills.
