"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

In the next month or so, I plan to begin training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I've always wanted to learn how to wrestle, and I figure Jiu-Jitsu would be the most effective, no-bullsh*t grappling art I can learn. Also, it seems like it would be effective for my body type (5'9, 160 lbs, solid but not huge). Later I might also train in Muay-Thai.

Anyone else practice BJJ? Any suggestions, tips?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

would you guys say it's impossible to power-lift and practice ju-jitsu and the same time because of the 'sore-muscle' factor.....i've wanted to take up some martial arts but i also don't wanna stop lifting.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Not impossible, but they are different and won't compliment when you are at a high level.

Apart from the training fatigue, also consider the weight class issues.

If you aren't that good or non competitive it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, I got a blue belt on BJJ and also fight NHB. BJJ is great for when you get stuck on the ground in a fight. A lot of the techniques may seem confusing at first, but just stick with it and you'll begin to develop a repitoire of techiques that you will use over and over.

There are two jiu-jitsu schools near me. The first is run by a brown belt who also competes in mixed martial arts tournaments. The other is comprised of three different instructors, one of whom is a 3rd degree black belt, another black belt, and a brown belt.

Both schools participate in competition. Which do you guys think is better? I plan on going to both of them, but what sorts of things should I look for?

work out on seperate days then you do BJJ on.

take good diet, good protein intake + glutamine supplementation will make recovery easy.

right now I workout on monday/wed/fri, do muay thai on tue/thur/sat, the soreness is not an issue. human body is amazing, it gets used to anything you throw at it

My mates brother is one of the top BJJ fighters in New Zealand, not to mention being very high up in the ranks in Japan.

Of course ...doesn't compare to the Brazilian fighters.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
