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.
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.
There was some awesome fights before the main one. That comeback knockout by Derrick was entertaining. Heck, even the women's fight was pretty good
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.
There's absolutely no way they're going to let him keep that belt/title. MMA hates it when they get bad press or look bad...
Bull sh1t and you are full of it. If he was financed by Russian government he would not acted like a d1ck after the fight, he would have shook hands, picked him up, and make everyone around him, even Connor fans, respect him. Instead, he acted like a d1ck, and is now facing full wrath from U.S.A., suspension, a fine, and possibly (or perhaps highly likely) loosing his champ status. He fvcked up.
Bingo! Prior to fight McGregor was a d1ck, Khabib held himself back. After the fight everything changed around. Fvck Khabib's logic, because logic in United States works the other way, who's the d1ck last counts. Connor provoked Khabib, and honestly, even though Connor lost this fight, he won the war. Khabib put himself as Russian, this now means he is going to face full wrath from U.S.A., they gonna take everything, his money, his pride, his belt, and his title.
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.
That smack talking has been a thing since Boxing. It's to just hype the fight up. Khabib kinda took it all personal though.
Connor is a milk cow simply because he sort of represents Irish, which is very popular in US. However, if you go to Irish new site, and read comments under this news, you will learn than Irish folks themselves call Connor a clown and say in one voice that he deserves what has happened to him.
If you say to Khabib "**** your mother" or "mother ****er" or "**** you" he will probably kill you. It's a cultural thing.
He should be educated that, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Lol.
Maybe he shouldn't participate in US MMA?
I did put my money on McGregor, nut much though, less than 2 bucks. Not sure what you mean how I copy pasted you.
