"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.

Hey guys, I finally made a choice to take up swimming and martial arts. My life is too boring.

Any recommendations?
 

"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.

Me too. The gym is getting monotonous so I'm looking to get into MMA or Boxing.

I have a pool and man does it come in handy in these thousand degree summers here in Central Florida!

Evolution, I highly HIGHLY recommend that you take up Martial Art training.
And continue it as part of your lifestyle into your life.

If I were to recommend a system I would recommend Jeet Kune Do.
JKD is at its heart, a both philosophical method of viewing Life and a Self Perfection and Self Preservation themed system.
It is rooted in Taoism. Therefore, it is practical and applicable, yet stimulates and challenges one intellectually as well.


Look through some of this stuff to be better informed:

Feel free to ask me any martial art related questions, Evo.

Fvck yeah! mma is the fastest growing sport in the country for a reason. It just kicks ass. Every form of fighting has a weakness - in boxing it is being taken down, they teach you to follow through on punches in a way that exposes you to a takedown or worse, giving up your back.

I have been training mma just an hour and a half two nights a week, (soon to be 4 nights) and I am getting in shape rapidly. You work muscles that lifting weights does not, and the cardio is intense. I know a guy who lost 100 pounds in the past year, down to 320 from 420.

Do it - you'll love mma.
 

"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.

Right well, in regards to MMA, I'm a cage fighter, and in terms of praciticality, you need to take both a standing art (boxing/Thai/kickboxing), and a ground art (wrestling/BJJ).

I used to swim for county (sorry if I seem like I'm bragging), and well basically, make sure your strokes are sound, and then concentrate on doing lengths.
