"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I hate being that guy to criticize pro athletes but I have to this time. Who is Chandlers boxing coach? I wanted Chandler to win but he lacks fundamental boxing defense. The guy does not keep his hands up, drops his left hand when throwing with his right hand etc.

Gaethe's boxing is better but still not 100% fundamentally sound. He loads up from hip and telegraphs a lot. He also does not bring his feet with him when throwing punches. I now understand why pro boxers call MMA boxing sloppy. A prob boxer dismantle the average MMA guy.

Examples of good boxing is Rose Namajunas, Jose Aldo etc. Its just amazing to me how far people can get in the UFC with bad boxing fundamentals.
 

"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.
