So yeah, you're basically talking about an organized match.lookyoung said:... I am talking about a one on one fight.
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.

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 knew a guy, who's dad was some kind of kung fu "master", and would train his son for 2 hours each night. I went against this guy, and his punches were like a trip hammer.lookyoung said:I am talking about a one on one fight. BTW people talk about mike vallely beating up those 4 guys. LISTEN THOSE 4 guys were YUPPIES who have never been in a street fight. That **** would not work against an mma fighter. Do you think he could have did that to 4 brothers from the hood. THe answer to that is fvck no. Watch the tape the 4 guys were fighting scared.

So you're talking about a street fight where the guy(s) that start it are going to come one at a time and none of them is packing or can pick up an improvised weapon, and you can say with a straight face this is a likely scenario?lookyoung said:.... Noone can go against a firearm. Kravmaga teaches that stuff but its BS. Going against knives and multiple attackers your pretty much done.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
lookyoung said:.... And your another guy that talks about people having guns and knives in there pockets. I live in Chicago were do you live?
Completely not the point of anything I said. Idiot troll.lookyoung said:Kung fu guy got the job done but you have to understand that the kung fu guy is probably 5"9 165 pounds. His opponent is probably 5"4 120 pounds. He would have won that street fight without the kungfu.
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.
