"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Whats your guys take on Capoeira?

"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.

Come on, it looks like it'd be effective if used properly. A kick like that coming down with all that force looks brutal :O
It's cool as a lifestyle. Guys in Brazil will be on the beach surrounded by drummers and hot Brazilian chics cheering them on. It's not an effective system of self-defense, these guys wouldn't last a second against even a good wrestler, but it does look like a lot of fun and a great way to stay in shape and meet girls if you live in Brazil.
"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.
capoeira is cool. I had some friends who were into it. Like everyone else said, dont take it for self defense, but it could be a positive thing to get going. I would only recommend it if there was a place to learn it near by that had a somewhat large amount of participants.

I'll take cumbias insteadMr. Wolf said:
99% of combat is shock and awe, this has buckets of it. I tried it for awhile, not really my thing, but it is fun and awesome. If you want to be able to fight take some form of Tae Kwon Do then anything else. It is the base and you can jump into practically anything after that.
Basically:
TKD=Raw, fight, kill, Win+self confidence you could win in a real fight.
Capoeria=Fun community, needs muscle to do crazy stuff and get coordination and balance, but is crazy cool.
The two though, are COMPLETE opposites (I speak from experience).

Any martial arts is good when used against someone not trained in some form of fighting discipline. Your average AMOG on the street might know how to punch and rassle (yes, I spelt it that way for a reason) but when it comes to fighting someone with a real fighting plan, they will crumble.
"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.
