"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.

Wrong.

Did you even read what you wrote? That is one of the stupidest sweeping generalizations I've ever heard.
 

"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.

That guy in the video is hella quick, no doublt about it, but most people doing those spinning back kicks are nowhere near as fast. I've had people try those on my while sparting and they're very easy to bob and weave under if you see your opponent loading up to make one. A Muay Thai guy would follow that up with a kick to his grounded leg and send him crashing to the ground or maybe even with a shattered knee.

He is hella fast and is great at his art form. But again, Tae Kwon Do in general has a poor record in MMA compared to other martial arts. This is not a stupid comment, this is a fact whicn you can by all means look up yourself.

So yeah that guy might be better than an average fighter, but if you take a top fighter in another martial art and pit it against him, he'll lose.

Hence he has a losing record!
 

"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.

And I wanted to rep you for that, darn it. Too soon, grasshopper. Ah well, nice post.
 

"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.

But for purposes of this thread

Id say muay thai or sanshou because BJJ and wrestling would get you stomped out with the quickness in a streetfight if the guy has his friends there and you take it to the ground

the best art hands down is kaiosami, or whatever its called, the shiet that goku does. You tell me which UFC fighter will block a kameahmeha, enough said.

Law enforcement makes extensive use of Glock-fu at all levels from the Federal down. Seems effective for them.
 

"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.

well, in 8th grade me and a few of my friends had just finished walking this girl home from a dance. We ended getting jumped by some kings, needless to say we all ran. But we had to fight a few as we ran. I got lucky with a low roundhouse to one of the guys after me, which buckled his knees long enough for me to avoid him grabbing me. And I also pulled off a back kick when one of them tried to get in my way, it knocked him down, and i continued my retreat.

Fast foward to college, the last fight i was in, i was able to out box the other kid. He punched first, my hands went up to cover, i ducked his jab, came up with a jab and a cross. Then back-kicked him.

How come all of you people have gotten into so many fights? Unless you grew up in the ghetto or get jumped there is really no reason for it. I guess you guys just can't let go of your ego?

Last time I threw a punch, I was 15 years old. However, I want to take JUDO just in case.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
