"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've seriously thought about boxing. It seems very practical and some have said that after a few lessons, you at least have some of the basics down. This is what I really want. I'm just concerned about big fights where its me against like 3 people. I don't think it'll happen, but most likely, I will start boxing lessons in the summer. Thanks for all your help.
Real life isn't like the movies, for you to be able to take on multiple opponents will take years and years of training (we're talking 20 - 30 years) and even then you'll probably get your ass kicked if they all jump you at the same time.

(Plus by the time you actually have the skill to take on multiple opponents, you're probably old enough that you won't get into the situation)
 

"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.

:rolleyes: I hope you're safe. I was just conveying something and you come up with sarcasm like this.

It's ok, :rolleyes: you took on three people with a hockey stick and showed your kung fu, why the need for boxing, judo, etc?

Thanks.

Oh and when did I say you're ****ed without a gun and a camera? :rolleyes:

"Oh, AFK, you're ****ed without a gun and a camera!"

I said you can justify killing, not "you're ****ed, get a camera and a gun!"
 

"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.
