"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.

Why do most MMA fighters look so average??

Physically they don't look impressive. Brock Lesnar and Kimbo Slice are the only impressive physically MMA fighters. Most of them don't have a 6 pack. Most of them are about 180 lbs and with a t-shirt on you wouldn't even thought they worked out. Don't they train??
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

bud you have not been watching enough mma fighters. Go look at the ufc, all those guys are about 6 foot and do have a 8 pack. Its obvious that you are novice to the sport.

They do have weight classes.

My first mma fight is in 8 days. I am 6' 1" and 165 pounds, although I can cut to 155 if I need to. I have a six-pack, and most of the skinnier guys do. Most fighters 185 and up are not very defined.

What you are seeing in the UFC is guys who have trained for 15-20 years. Their skill is a product of all of those years of training. I might look better than a few of them, but they can all kick my ass.

Physique is not a clear indication of how good a fighter they are.

Look at Fedor Emelianenko.

World's best heavyweight, undefeated, has slaughtered many giants such as NOG, Crocop, Sylvia etc etc...

Yet he doesn't seem to have a square rock chin, and seems a little overweight. He isn't cut, and though quite muscley doesn't have a HUGE amount of muscle mass, yet beats fighters with chiseled bodies like Randleman.

Looks are deceiving my friend, it seems you are new to the sport.

I read Fedor is a heavy vodka drinker. Cutting is mostly about the diet, and I the MMA guys probably care more about their strenght and agility than they do about their six-pack. Arlovski is both heavier and leaner than Fedor, but he still got destroyed.
 

"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.

I thought it was because they did lots of cardio and endurance training since they have to go either 15 or 25 minutes but then again I wouldn't know

Just find a dojo. I would suggest that you attend a few local fight events and take note of how each school's fighters do. They usually announce the fighter's school when they walk out.

You can keep training the Muay Thai. That would be your striking art. Pick up a grappling art to round out your skills. I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You can go to nagafighter.com which is the web site of a submission grappling tournament and see the results of the Naga tournament near you. That will give you an idea of which schools are training the most successful grapplers, at least in bjj.

You try looking full and ripped when training for an endurance sport... Then you'll have your answer.

Um just about every NFL runningback, wide receiver, cornerback, linebacker, and defensive end looks ripped. Look at this pic of Shogun:

http://mmajunkie.com/dyn/images/fighters/Mauricio-Shogun-Rua.jpg

Completely average looking. Wtf.
NFL football players don't train for endurance. NFL players workout for strenght and power...and work on overall speed

MMA fighters need ENDURANCE....They do a lot of cardio

Plus a lot of NFL players workout to look pretty...they like showing off the guns...MMA fighters could give a ****...they are training to win a fight

MMA is a lot about FEELING another's energy in the fight. The firstest with the mostest is the bestest.

I always wondered this myself. It makes sense that looking buff is difficult with so much endurance training.
 

"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.

Adding muscle sacrifices flexibility. And in a sport where we try to bend each others' joints the wrong way, flexibility is very important.

MMA fighters will still outbuff most people. Whoever thinks they only train for endurance and not strength is retarded. Those matches last about 20 minutes MAX, while most don't even get past the first round.

Well I think football would be considered an endurance sport. There is a ton of running and you aren't recovering in those 30 seconds between plays. I've played football and you have to be in excellent condition to make it. Plus I disagree most pro football players are in it to show off their guns. Looking pretty doesn't get you big contracts, performance does.

"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.
