"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.

Can anyone in mma stop fedor?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

A place where dreams become reality
I just channel-surfed on the tv and saw WWE with John Cena on it.

Now that Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley have made the switch to mixed martial arts, it would be exciting to see more pro wrestlers turn mixed martial artists.

Cena is not that old yet, and has a decent, lean body for MMA. I would love to see that happen.

Not unless Chuck Norris enters MMA. rofl

Seriously though. Fedor has surpassed the title of beast -- He one of the only professional fighters that I regard as a creature. Real talk, Liddell, Rampage, even Lesnar -- All of those guys are established beasts, but Fedor would put a hurting on any of them all day every day.

I was just watching Fedor vs. Hong Man Choi. Fedor embarrassed that gorilla. Twice, Choi was in the top position, and twice Fedor turned it into an uber-arm bar. The second time, dude couldn't hack it.

Nobody in MMA today is ****ing with Fedor.

I think if Orlovski got a rematch it'd be a very close fight. He looked great in the beginning until he got caught on the chin. If he can keep his face out of Fedor's reach and not get too aggressive i really think he'd have a shot. Too bad he said he was retiring and going into boxing if he loses to Fedor.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Thats a good documentary, thanks for sharing. I admit I was oblivious of fedor until I ran into this thread, since I only watch UFC. I think much less of UFC now that I know the best fighter in the world has no affiliation with it.
