"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

who cares
ive sparred with people way taller than me. some of them were highly skilled and getting in was no small challenge. Their big reach was a big advantage and if they knew how to keep me outside or i didnt figuere out a way to get inside i was more or less ****ed. The other tall people that i sparred with and i could effectivley get inside to fight i did surprisingly well. Lots of hooks to the liver and uppercuts straight to the sloar pleux or chin deffintly wore them down, but of course their hooks to my head were no little punch you can just shake off, so you got to be willing to trade. if knees are allowed you got to be very careful cause they can just manhandle you in the inside with the knees. and if throws are also allowed youre also at a disadvantage as ive noticed the single leg takedown or the firemans carry to be pretty much the only and most effective throw techniques for the small vs the big guy scenario.

so in general given around the same skill, the taller guy does have many advantages.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
