"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I have cauliflower ear from wrestling in HS. It really affects my confidence with girls. It's holding me back, is anyone in the same position? Or any suggestions, thanks.
 

“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.

Yes because of your ears you will never get any girl..
NO MAN, no one will notice untill you even begin about it. Like if one of your legs is longer than the other you will be insecure about that, but actualy no one sees and even cares. SO DO IT. If you love wrestling there is that price to pay, the benefits are your strong and buff (i may hope so).

I always wore my headgear even to practices. I know a lot of my teammates back in HS didn't but a coach told me it is good to do so because of the times you get your head shoved into the mat which might cause the cauliflower ear. Not only that but I've been elbowed in the ear during practice a bunch.

Any flaw is only what you make of it.

I never got it bad from hs wrestling, but I have since taken up jiu-jitsu, and it can be rough on the ears. Pulling your head out of a triangle or guillotine choke bends them backward. Sometimes I miss headgear.

Uh when I wrestled we had headgear on....

But honestly if your ears can get pulled forward from wrestling, perhaps you can tape them to the side of your head when you are at home and they'll slowly return to normal :D

Its not that their pulled forward LC haven;t you heard of cauliflower ear? It happens when the ear cartilage is smashed or hurt, so the cartilage fills up with fluid and becomes hard.

OP if you are that concerned about it you can have it surgically fixed, I'm sure you don;t have the career cauliflower of someone like dan henderson. I used headgear too but people don't use it for every single match or live practice, it only takes once to hurt the ear enough to make some cauliflower.

You can go under the knife, I think it is a plastic surgery procedure. I had gynecomastia when I was younger, since I was 13, not caused by steroids(all natural) or other drugs. I went under the knife to have it taken care of and it was hard, and it hurt, but in the end it was worth it not to have puffy nips. I felt like it was holding me back too because I had built some muscle and was still intimidated to take my shirt off. I recommend going for the procedure if it bothers you that much.

Wrestling comes with a price as other posters have indicated, I have had two knee surgeries and an upcoming shoulder surgery from injuries sustained while wrestling in high school, and made worse kickboxing and boxing in college. But you have not only the muscles and strength but also the ground know how to take out most people except for strikers with a good sprawl and good submission or JJ fighters. What you have suffered through and earned in wrestling will stay with you for the rest of your life in the form of inner strength and rugged belief in yourself. How many other sports do you not get to rely on your teammates? Not very many.
