"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.

The average is inaccurate. I do have at least 5 posts a day.
But no more than 10.

I have no bag here, and posting even if it's 50, takes no more than 30 min. :)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It is not inaccurate. You registered 31 OCT and have posted 338 times in 11 days. Do the math.

Also, that's 30 minutes that could be better spent working out.

If you prefer sitting on your ass doing nothing to working to make your dreams of fighting in the UFC a reality, then good luck. Because you are really going to need it.

Thanks, I know I'll need it when I reach the championship. :)
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Saine. How come you diss Tiger Schulmann's karate badly on this site by calling it a McDojo and then go on to sherdog and ask things like "does anyone know how Tiger Schulmann's program is like?"

Things change. I believe it was where I saw Tiger Schulman suck in my local area and in other thread/forum people say it's ok or whatever. So I thought "hm, maybe these guys have differ opinions."

And I still think Tig is a McDojo. I just want Sher user's opinion.

Well before you even think about joining anything like UFC why dont you try something else instead of boxing? I like boxing but......its really nothing compared to when I use to train in Muay Thai. Boxing teaches the plain basics but I like it because of the training. Anyways, think about going into another sport, if you think you can get by with just boxing then you are in for some serious pain.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Nope, you're right. I'm not superman.

Getting in another sport is what I'm asking for in Sherdog, another gym. Almost every gym here specialize purely on styles of their own or are pure McDojos.

Why Muay Thai? I heard it's quite tough. A lot shin and elbow meaning close range. And close range with grapplers = bad.

I was thinking of finding Ken Shamrock's student (or if he wants to train me himself :D) to teach me in New York or North Carolina. Unfortunately all the good stuff are either gone or taken or whatever.

Are you kidding me? Why Muay Thai? Maybe because it's the most lethal striking art out there, and combined with boxing it's even more dangerous. Do it. You can still do MT and grappling at the same time.

Ok so on the list to do :

Okay Muay Thai because its great at conditioning the body. And trust me its going to be a while before you are even going to START to see some difference. If not Muay Thai then you can try some other style like it (cant remember the name of it at the moment, but its a Chinese style). You're going to have to get serious about it though. I dont know why but I feel like you are some kid that just saw some UFC videotape and now feel like its your calling (like the same people that saw Fast and Furious and started to become "street racers"). You're going to have to go through some serious training. Trust me, even your attitude and the way you see a lot of things will change.

Muay Thai is some serious training. At the gym where I train, the instructor has the beginning student kicking the bag 500 times. And that's how he breaks in the beginners!! It's a real *****, but it'll make you tough as nailsif yo do decide to do that.
 

"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 think the Chinese style thats up there with Muay thai in terms of effectiveness is called San Shou or something like that. Its kickboxing, but it focuses more on throws than knee'ing when you are in the clinch.

San Shou is good but the fighters aren't as tough as muay thai fighters. If you're doing san shou you need to put extra emphasis on callousing to toughen yourself.

I remember a kickboxing match a couple of years back where one dude tried to kick another and the guy raised his leg to block and the kicker's shin snapped right in half. This is what could happen to someone who wants to fight, but neglects the callousing portion of his training.

Almost 350 views and hardly much posts or comments on the video. Strange.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
