...complete bad as$...he tooled Frank Shamrock tonight and destroyed a legend. Give it up for Cung, he silenced the haters...Vietnam stand up!
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.
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.
MMA fighters are a bunch of freakin animals and they PROMOTE violence.ThunderMaverick said:
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.
They are still animals and I don't respect them.ThunderMaverick said:Because he made a choice to get paid to block his opponent's fist with his face?
Did you watch the fight? Very smart and very technical.
If they were being animals they'd bite each other and rip each other's skin off. The winner would the go on to set the loser's body on fire and eat him.
Give me a break. It's brutal yes. It's awful yes. It's a sport. A lot of training and strategy to go into it.
That much I respect.

I respect Martial Artists and I am ALL FOR self-defense, but not this nonsense.
Are you also a vegetarian? What about a Communist? How about this transfer of taxes to investment bankers? What about Che Guevaro, do you respect him?stuka1939 said:They are still animals and I don't respect them.

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.
Gay? you guys are sub human for supporting that stuff.Trinitron said:Stuka you're gay. Grow a pair.
Also, beating Shamrock isn't such an accomplishment any more.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
Pfft. Almost all of the guys I meet training MMA are gentlemen, unlike kick boxing and boxing where the egos are massive (in some clubs).stuka1939 said:Gay? you guys are sub human for supporting that stuff.
Two guys in the ring acting like animals.
Atleast boxing is more sophisticated and has class.
Your a total GIRL stuka...jesus man...youre 31, grow a penis already!.stuka1939 said:Gay? you guys are sub human for supporting that stuff.

Stuka, you respect "martial artists" and boxers, but mma fighters are simply a combination of the two. Boxing is even more bloody and brutal than mma - cuts are just as bad, brain damage is worse from getting a long pounding to the head from those big padded gloves.
LS, to my knowledge, there have been two deaths resulting from mma matches, but both instances involve a fighter having a previously undetected heart condition. Any strenuous activity will kill a few people.
I've been training mma four nights a week since December, and am looking to have my first cage fight in Sep-Oct of this year. Almost a year of training will go into a fight that will probably be over within a minute or two. Given that I'm already 32, I've never going to make it to the UFC. People keep asking me why I am doing this. The best answer I can give is "to see if I can." I train with the best dojo of fighters around. For the first couple of months, I got my ass kicked up and down every night. Now everyone says I am getting much better, and I have started to actually be able to make other fighters tap out on occasion. Despite my body being a constant rainbow of bruises, I'm now in the best shape I've been in since high school. I started out at about 170 pounds. Now I'm 160, but look 185, body fat keeps dropping from the intense cardio, arms and chest getting bigger. Submission grappling is one hell of a workout.
Training to fight has actually taken much of the fight out of me in daily life, made me much less of an animal. I tend to just laugh at tough guy sh!t talkers these days. I don't need a chance to prove anything, as I get that chance on the mat at every mma class. I've also learned that there is an inverse relationship between sh!t-talking and actual ability. Every time we hold a cage fight, there will be guys in the audience talking about how big and bad they are and how they would kick all kinds of ass in the cage. But then after they go home and sober up, we never see them again, lol. It's only outside the dojo that guys talk sh!t, because inside, they are forced to back up their words.
mma is swallowing other fighting sports. Boxing goes downhill every year; big stars are going to the UFC. Other than Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which has exploded in popularity due to its success as an art in the octagon, other martial arts like the various types of Karate and TQD are all declining in popularity. Bruce Lee saw all of this happening thirty years ago, which is why his art of Jeet Kune Do preached that the best style is no style. Modern mma has become just that - no style, formed from a mixture of every style.
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.
