"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.

that scared feeling before you have a fight? I'm not about to get into a fight nor have I ever been in one but whenever someone's about to have a fight or something around me, my heart starts beating really fast. Is there a way to confront this and overcome it? I mean, when I'm sparring in the ring doing MMA I don't get that feeling, it's when I'm on the street it happens.
 

"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.

What helps me: Assume the worst. Accept the fact that you or someone else could very easily die in a violent confrontation.

The key here is ACCEPT. "If I die, so I'm dead." The fear results from trying to bury those nasty thoughts.

Its normal Fight or Flight response. What you are feeling is a surge in your adrenaline levels which would make you stronger if you wish to fight and much faster if you wish to run.

The best way is to continue to take your MMA more seriously so that you will know how to handle yourself in every situation and thus you won't feel that adrenaline rush so much.

Thats what I was wondering to myself. Is this FEAR? or is it ADRENALINE? Because I everytime it has happened it wasnt something directed towards me, it was other peoples altercations. But just being there gave me that feeling. I don't feel scared and my mind is usually blank when it happens.

It is the feeling that makes hooligans fight as often as posible. The dangerous it is the stronger the feeling. Fight away. Forza Dinamo!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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 thought that was a good feeling. Never thought fear had anything to do with it.
It's so powerful.

It feels fvcking good.

To me it just feels like a state of shock. Like your heart is screamin what's gonna happen? what's gonna happen? The first though that came to my mind is that it's probably some subconcious feeling of fear that arises in those moments. But it seems that it isn't.

Why do I get the feeling you have a criminal record?

Nothing serious. Cops only been involved a couple times.

I've never thought of it as a scared feeling, more the opposite.

My mind does not ask what will happen, it clears it completley and tells me what will happen. Me beating the other guy.
