"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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)
 

"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.

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

Oh your absolutely right... these books teach more concept, and way of thinking to apply to your training...

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.
