Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I don’t see how he can ever seriously compete again. Not only will he not be able to kick with that leg, but he will have to protect it.

What say you guys? Is he done?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Depends on if they actually test him for the juice he's been drinking. He has Dana White privilege

Done. His body and spirit softened . The endless booze and drugs took their toll . All the stars aligned perfectly during his comeuppance .He went from martial artist to a multi millionaire drugs addict. Ain't no coming back from that.

Though I dont count it out he might get a W (w from dive) somewhere..

I think his decline started after he got whooped by Khabib personally.. I think that was the beginning of the end for him.. he humbled himself greatly for a bit, but then went back to his ego ways, which only cost him more problems. After the 2nd lost to Dustin, to see him just go even more into his ego was shocking. I think he's really got this identity crisis.. and this character he's created is the only thing that keeps him going in life....to let go of it and become an average joe would shake his world up.. whic is why hes already making up for it with drugs and steroids.. because when u take losses back to back u cant necessarily feel the same.. especailly when you know that people stop looking at you like they were years ago. I think this long hiatus is really going to cost him, especially carrying all this extra weight.. his cardio won't be the same.

As far as the leg, thats super questionable too.. The route he's been going is the wrong way to go.. The dudes def likely to develop a steroid addiction as well asa coke addiction if he hasnt already... Stardom is a crazy drug.

He got out the USADA pool so they cant test him, just to juice and then when hes done with his cycle, he'll get back on the USADA pool.. probably with just high doses of Testosterone and EPO and stuff. Threes compound s you can get away with taking if your doctor prescribes them. EPO is used to like build red blood cells thus you carry more blood oxygen, people who take it just have more energy and more explosiveness. Regardless, the testing is very weird and the way and rate at which they test fighters varies so greatly from what I hear.

Any wave a man rides has to Peter out. Catching another wave of equal intensity is very difficult. It’s over for him, that’s for sure. Kahbib broke his spirit. But this leg thing is the death knell. You can’t be a serious force in the game with a weakness like that. Those healed bones will always be his Achilles heel, with no pun intended.

Is it known what exactly caused the fracture? I mean it collapsed on him when he took a step back, but the damage must have already been there. Did he maybe catch an elbow with a kick?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I didn't see the injury, but fwiw, the correct way to block a leg kick is to check it with one's shin. It hurts both fighters a little, but the shin is a harder bone and less likely to break. The idea is to make it hurt more to kick you than it hurts to be kicked.

His foot was actually flopping around. Leg completely broken right above the ankle. Nasty sight. I figured maybe he caught an elbow instead of the intended target and created a hairline fracture which completely broke apart when he put his leg behind him. Just speculation but it seems plausible.

He already had issues with that leg his whole camp.. But the idea is you don't make a big deal about it and continue to fight..Was probably on painkillers or something that was prescribed to make it through the fight..dude was def on some sh.t because even after it was over, instead of wincing in pain and being carted out, he was jus goin in on Dustin , screamin at him and talkin sh.t bout his wife LMAO.

Just like Khabib foot when he fought Justin Gaethje which included 2 broken toes and a major bone in the foot.. But the outstanding dude that Khabib is, he never once mentioned it. I think one of his doc's or something leaked it to media though after the fight.

Well he is fighting Mike Chandler. Mike has the most talent with the worst fight IQ. Conor has a good chance at winning because Chandler will try to strike with Conor and get slept. Mike will have the worst game plan ever which will make Conor look amazing this fight.

Maybe you travel to Panama like some MMA fighters and get stem cell that should help but I think he's still behind the eight ball
 

"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.
