I think it will be a great fight.
I think it will be a great fight.
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.
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.
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.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Penn was a lightweight champion to begin with who thought he can dominate the best of the welterweight (GSP) by adding 15 lbs to his frame.STR8UP said:Just starting to get into this myself, but IMO, Penn needs to lose about 5-10 lbs of fat and replace it with muscle.
I don't know, Fedor looks pretty chunky at times yet he is pound for pound the best fighter in the world.STR8UP said:you can be a good fighter but pound for pound muscle is going to help you a lot more than fat will.
That guy is going to seriously make some noise. I don't want to go too far out there on a limb, but if I was anybody at the top level of UFC, Machida is not a guy I want to get talked into fighting. He's good. Scratch that, he will be great.DJDamage said:Machida really impressed me, very smart fighter.

BJ wanted the 5th round. His corner cut it off. You can see one of his coaches call the doc over and make a throat-slashing motion, after which the doc and the ref call the fight.Ken785 said:...told you so.
funny how in the pre fight shows penn was calling GSP a "b!tch" and a quitter and said that he'll "fight till the death"...
Looks like the rich spoiled Hawaiian's mouth wrote a check his as$ couldn't cash because he got smashed for 4 rounds and QUIT.
Well...whoever called it, he surely wasn't quick to protest it...so it is what it is.squirrels said:BJ wanted the 5th round. His corner cut it off. You can see one of his coaches call the doc over and make a throat-slashing motion, after which the doc and the ref call the fight.
GSP is probably my new favorite fighter. Since his loss to Matt Hughes, it is amazing how much GSP has evolved.
I don't know about Machida being best #4# quite yet. I haven't seen enough of him.
I disagree on Rashad and Machida. They've not gone through and shown the dominance that Fedor, GSP, A. Silva, and Penn have in their respective weight divisions. The latter have effectively cleaned out their divisions.Bible_Belt said:I agree. I think Machida deserves a mention in the nominees for best pound-for-pound mma fighter in the world. Right now that list reads: Fedor, Anderson Silva, GSP and I'd say Machda as well. Despite this beatdown, BJ Penn is still dominant in the lightweight division.
edit: Rashad Evans deserves a mention as well.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
