"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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. :)
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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. :)
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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 :

I'm thinking of doing submission grappling that Ken Shamrock did.

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

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.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
