"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

1.) Emmets performance was more impressive than Kattars...BUT Kattar won that

2.) Deron Winn has horrible fight IQ but is tough as nails. You are the smaller midget wrestler. Why are you trying to strike?? Shoot a takedown as soon as possible. He is a disgrace to AKA

3.) These Eastern European fighters are going to crush the current lightweight roster. Guram Ketedze and Damir are very high level fighters. They are more tehcnical than the top 5 lightweights. The quality of these eastern fighters is impressive.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Glorified boxing match. Really boring imo.

Crazy how Kattar won this. He only won the first round by jabbing , and arguablythe last round. Emmet had much more forward pressure , was way more aggressive. Kattar obviously had the reach advantage, but didn't utilized it properly. Should have finished his combos with low kicks.


Unfortunately UFC doesnt do draws. Real average match at best. Nothing extraordinary.

Yeh man i agree. Kattar didnt low kick much. I also agree that the UFC needs draws. I dont know why they dont do this. This fight was razo close. I am happy that the physically smaller man won though.

Striking sells tickets and ppv buys. There is always pressure on fighters who excel at ground fighting to stay on their feet and strike.
