"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.

The upcoming fight "Khabib vs. Gaethje" will take place on October 24, 2020. What do you guys think? Who has the better chances? How will the fight go?
 

"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.

Anyone heard of Lechi Kurbanov, the killer of japanese karate? Self taught, often times via video cassettes, he is a world champion several times in a row. This part of the world produces good fighters. Khabib is an animal, once he bits into his opponent it is game over. My prediction is Khabib.

My heart wants Khabib to win but my mind says Gaethje will pull it off. The defensive wrestling is there so he is very hard to take down and then on top of that, he throws lethal shots that can knock anyone out. My money is on Justin taking this.
 

"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.

I agree. I mean, Khabib is virtually impossible to beat on the ground. He's so damn dominant and works every part of the body. It's so good, it's disgusting.

But you're right about Justin having a great takedown defense. I'm still shocked by how he worked Tony. Didn't see that one coming. I'd say he has a good chance of winning IF he catches Khabib with some good bombs before he gets to business.

The issue is that Khabib is one dimensional. He gets you down and beats you down but it is not hard shots like say a DC or a Jon Jones putting on people that seriously mess you up. I mean despite the work he did on Conor, he could not TKO McGregor and had to rely on submission. Justin on the other hand has crazy knockout power and his wrestling is more defensive.

It's weird how Khabib starts brawling with you and then goes for the trip or double leg. He even takes people down with suplexes. He has literally no guard when he's throwing punches. Still, he builds the pressure and then takes you underwater.

His approach might always be the same, but once you're on the ground, he twists and squeezes you like a wet towel. I'm not even a fan of his fighting style, but it's unsettling that BJJ black belts like Poirier couldn't get out of his grip. Not to mention that Dustin belongs to the creme de la creme of striking in the UFC.

It's definitely winnable for Justin. Yet I hope he won't make weight or meets Mike Perry in a bar fight, so he drops out and Tony gets the fight. But that fight is cursed man...

Yeah but Dustin lacked the wrestling to avoid being taken down which is what did him in IMO. Justin on the other hand has that wrestling to keep Khabib off of him.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
