"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Well I just got a membership to 24 hour, and in a couple of weeks i plan to go back to martial arts.

Also quitting smoking, getting my grades up, and getting my ass in gear in all other areas.

Anyways I just bought two martial arts books "Zen in the Martial Arts" and "Living the Martial Way."

I already read "Zen in the Martial Arts" and its really good, its written by one of Bruce Lee's students.

I just started "Living the Martial Way" and I really enjoy it thus far.

Have any of you read these?
Comments/discussion on them?
Also any other martial artists give me some advice on going back... i quit about 2 years ago I was almost at purple in taekwondo... (about halfway through)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Living the Martial Way is an excellent book, very practical and if oyu read into it enough, the principals of combat are closely related to courtship and dating...

as said by a daimyo in the 1500's of Japan...

"Living everyday on the field of battle"


I would also reccomend "Budoshoshinshu" by Daidoji Yuzan

as well as "Go Rin No Sho (Book of Five Rings) by Miyamoto Musashi

Best,

Jin

i doubt a book, no matter how gud it is cant be as gud as a decent class
 

"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.

He is correct.

Knowledge of fighting, and actually doing the fighting are two different things.

If you only read a good book, you will only know about the art, not do.

But if you train, you will be able to perform, even if your knowledge is poor.
