"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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.

I`m a huge MMA fan! I watch both PRIDE and UFC. My fav fighters are...

- Fedor Emelianenko (PRIDE HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMP!) 27-1
- Rampage Jackson (PRIDE/UFC) owned chuck liddel lol and his bodyslam is awesome!
- Tito Ortiz (UFC) He`s so badass, killed ken shamrock... 3 times! His next fight against Evans is gonna be a war.

I can`t wait for UFC 73 stacked or somethin it`s gonna be HUGE!

Im a fan of Mayhem although he isnt show on tv too much. I also like to watch Diego fight because he makes me laugh and of course GSP and tito.

If anyone cares here is the upcoming ufc card this saturday

Main Card Bouts:
-Anderson Silva vs. Nathan Marquardt
-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Heath Herring
-Tito Ortiz vs. Rashad Evans
-Sean Sherk vs. Hermes Franca
-Kenny Florian vs. Alvin Robinson

Preliminary Bouts:
-Frankie Edgar vs. Mark Bocek
-Chris Lytle vs. Jason Gilliam
-Jorge Gurgel vs. Diego Saraiva
-Stephan Bonnar vs. Mike Nickels
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I always loved Maurice Smith back in the day. Anybody remember him? He was the 40 year old over the hill kickboxer who came in and beat some great grapplers to win the UFC heavyweight title. Beautiful to watch (some kickboxing stuff):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5tCLLrkn7g

Not long ago, I watched a guy named Saliveri who was just as awesome, and it turns out Smith was his trainer.

Does anyone know who all has been trained by Maurice Smith?


I can't seem to figure that out from UFC.com. Plus, does anyone know where to find fight videos/highlight reels? Youtube is getting pretty sparse.

Lately I've kind of been wondering what professional wrestling would be like if it wasn't all just staged. I'd love to see one of these real MMA fighters go into the ring against three so-called "Wrestling World Champions" and show them the difference between good fighting and bad acting.

it's still mostly jusst acting. when guys who caan REALLY kick, etc, go into the ring, it's OVER in a few seconds, and somebody is maimed for life. Fans won't PAY to see that, much, anyway, so it all has to be stretched out for several minutes (most of the time, at least). So it's bs, acting, for themost part.
 

"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.

It's not acting. I don't know anybody famous, but training partners of mine have fought on at least the undercards of UFC and strikeforce shows. And they are no actors. I have also sold many thousands of tickets in person at amateur events. Not one person has ever complained that a fight was not real. We actually do a lot to conceal the level of violence when it gets ugly; it is supposed to be an all-ages show.

Regarding the "real kick" theory, there are still plenty of winner-take-all cash tournaments. $10k is common, which is not bad for a weekend's work. But Mr Miagi-looking little old men never show up and win that money by doing "real kicks," which is evidence that such a thing does not exist. I do not doubt that there are some little old Japanese men out there who can beat up UFC fighters in a street fight, but they would have to do eye-pokes, crotch kicks, and single digit manipulations in order to win.

LOL my friend fought Diego Saraiva down at Wild Bill's Fight Night in Atlanta. He ended up opening his own gym in SC.

bs, I've seen guys in Korea that those stumblebums on UFC could never TOUCH. there's a reason kicks to groin, knee, while a man is down, etc, are not allowed. :) Ditto why you can't use a descending elbow, bite, gouge, etc. it's all intended to protect the fighters and make the match last longer. I never see REAL strikes at collarbone, floating ribs, etc, cause the guys obviously have agreements not to take each other out of the ring for months at a time. it's BAD acting, but it's still an act, most of the time.
