"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.

"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.

Yeah that was great. He looked to be in trouble after he got that cut on his nose and Rogers was on top of him pounding away, but like every other fight he can take the hard hits and figure out the opponent's weakness and take advantage of it. That hit made me cringe, POOW!

Best fighter in the world, would love to see him fight that donkey kong Lesnar, but doesnt look like it will happen.

Great fight! I was on the edge of my seat. I honestly thought it would be a much easier win for Fedor. It looked like the first punch broke Fedor's nose and he was forced to breathe through his mouth.
MMA 'fans' that think Brock is the best in the world and don't even know who Fedor is crack me up! Not his best fight but he is the greatest MMA fighter of all time.

Good fight! Fedor is the baddest man on the planet.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Great fight and great card.

I think Brett Rogers surprised alot of people with not only his power (a broken nose with a jab) but also his ground defense. We've never seen him on the ground before but he did a good job avoiding a kimura, armbar, and arm triangle. He is a big boy and strong too and should have a future.

As for Fedor I guess we aren't surprised. He was composed even when it was looking bad. Alot more composed than I was anyway. He was giving up alot in weight and fighting a fairly dangerous striker but still won on his feet. Not the prettiest victory but a strong one nonetheless.

It was a great card all around. This free event was better than the last several UFC pay per views I ordered in my opinion.

Fedor prefers guys on top on him 'pounding away', because he says when they extend their arms to do so, it gives him a chance to lock in an armbar or other arm submissions.

What amazes me is that he broke his nose in training and still went in with a messed up nose and fought with his nose and hand broken. WOW!, a lesser man wouldn't have been able to do that. Props to "The Last Emperor'. Dana White can shut it.

I don't like Lesnar but saying he sucks is a bit much. You don't beat Randy Couture if you suck.
