"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Just another example of how, in general, there is an inverse relationship between the effectiveness of a technique and how fancy-looking it is.
QFT

Earlier this year at work there was some kind of martial arts demo in one of the lawns. I approach and it was very similar to what the guy was doing (what's it called anyway?) Based on the training I've received, all those flailing arms and legs are prime targets for me to lock/break. :D
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

There is a reason why there are arms flailing and it looks like a flashy spectacle....ITS SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE THAT !!!! ITS A DANCE !!!!

Your suppose to look at it and appreciate the movement and extravagance of the movements ! Your not suppose to climb into an MMA ring and use it in a real fight.

this is random...especially if your using that analogy for the video which is comparing apples to oranges.

Using a powerclean technique to lift a barbell off the floor looks fancy to someone who doesn't know how to powerclean. Does that negate its efficiency ?

Haha! Thanks for the link. Now I know that 1) this is fake and that 2) it's called Capoeira.

Well its staged cause its in that movie Never Back Down but if you notice you see the actual movie camera on the top right somewhere near the end of the video, meaning this is just someone who brought their own camera to film the scene while it was being made for the actual film. In the actual film its more of a close up on the black guy when he's doing his flips.
 

"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.
