"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.

You're making all of us fans of yours look bad. Please learn your lesson and don't go out like Shamrock did. You were great, but you don't have it in the octagon anymore. A trained monkey could have seen that coming Saturday night.

And I promise, nobody is going to mess with you in a bar anywhere. We know you're still a bad ass. Just not in the UFC.
 

"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.

Agreed.

The Silva fight was disappointing. He's good enough and smart enough not to go to the ground with Leitis, but it didn't make for a very interesting fight. I don't think there was even one punch or kick thrown in the first minute. Kinda figured it would be lame after I saw that.

Oh yea, incidentally, three hot chicks sat down at the bar to watch the fights. They got very enthusiastic when Liddell was fighting, then they got up and left when it was over. I am assuming that this has at least SOMETHING to do with the reason why he is still fighting. Fame and status can be a very powerful motivator.

if not for the fame and pride, he's at least doing it for the money.

but its over now, dana said it was over for liddell if he lost, before the fight started.

It was a weak set of UFC matchups, I already knew how they were going to end, save the fact that I thought Silva's fight would be over faster.

If Dana was smart...he should have put a clause in Liddell's contract stating that should he retire or be released from the UFC, there is a certain amount of time he has to wait before he can sign to any other MMA company in case they want him back.

Otherwise, Strikeforce or Affliction would be quick to swoop liddell up to set up Liddell vs. Ortiz III to put their name on the map....if theyre smart of course.
:cool:

I was holding out hope for Chuck, but he is done. He should just hang up the gloves at this point. Maybe open up his own gym or something.
 

"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.
