Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

The knuckles of the hand in a fist are a bit more suspect.
Many MA train to use their fist only on softer body areas.
They both work. And ultimately your ability to generate power in that particular strike and which vital area of the human body is what makes the difference.
IOW, it's not an either/or question, one should train them both and be able to use them both.

Somebody above gave the reasoning for palm strikes though. If your fists aren't conditioned it's very easy to break a hand. I've boxed alot but times I've unfortunately gotten into a street fight I've messed my hands up alot. Hitting someone on the ground looks easy and fun in the UFC but it's easy to miss and hit nothing but 'crete.
If you ever find yourself in that situation hit them with palms. You may get made fun of by yourfriends but you can still palm strike them afterwards if you have to.
"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.
