"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.
Whats your guys take on Capoeira?

"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.

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.
"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.
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.
"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.
