"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) Suppose, Tyson and Vitor Belfort decide to "play fight club" like in the movie. Only rules are you can't use items and you can't hit the groin area. Who do you think is gonna win?

2) What if they were Tyson and John Cena?

3) What if they were Belfort and Cena?

4) Who would be the strongest in the world in this situation, in your opinion?



Please, don't make Diablo close this thread by starting something like "what's the best martial art" or "fight club is just a movie", because the intent of this thread is just to see what your opinions are.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

A prime Belfort vs. a prime Tyson in a streetfight = Vitor all the way. I don't see how Tyson would stop the takedown and he has no experience in ground fighting. He would be submitted easily. His only chance to win would be in the first few seconds with a quick KO.

That's my opinion too, I was also wondering whether it'd be likely or not that Tyson managed to KOd him before he even did anything though.

What about the other 2 options? Cena may be significantly weaker, but he also is an experienced brawler, is a lot taller than them and weighs more.

Jariel and seanchai, I appreciate that you want to look cool in front of the class, but please sit down and be quiet now, you'll mack on the girls after lesson;)
 

"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.

Tyson doesnt know anything outside of boxing, what makes you think he has a chance against a pofessional MMA fighter?

Wait, dude. We're not talking about a guy who can only throw punches and combinations. I'm pretty sure that guy has had many more actual street fights than any MMA professional. Moreover, he's a lot bigger than Vitor Belfort. I'm not saying he would necessarily win, since I would probably bet on Belfort; I'm just saying that it's not that obvious that he would lose.

Other opinions?

What about the other comparisons I've proposed?

Tyson would do well. He has a lot of intensity. he'd probably bite the other guy into submission

"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.

Tyson would of course have a punchers chance, his punch is as hard as it gets, but i doubt he could stop Mirkos LHK.

John Cena would get destroyed IMO

Belfort and Tyson would close, Belfort probably win unless he wanted to keep standing, where Tyson would knock him out!!

I'D love to see Tyson or another World CLass boxer against Mirko in a standing fight

Belfort wins, loses an ear, Tyson gets pissed off about the loss, does a couple of lines of coke and knocks off a 7-11.
