THE FORUMS
Maybe its because I'm all "in the now" thanks to Eckhart Tolle etc. .. But when dudes are punks, I usually look at them and either laugh or smile, I know they're just trying to feel SIGNIFICANT.

God, I wanted to get into a Muay Thai gym since forever but my suckass town doesnt have one and commuting to fight is just too tiring, but thankfully Im moving by july.
Don´t know how can people need RSDN tell you that martial arts is good, it just HAS TO BE GOOD. What can make you more confident than knowing no one can fuck with you no matter how badass they think they are?
I mean, if you have zero fear of physical threat then that´s when you can fully express yourself and assert your lines wherever you go.
Can´t wait for July to come.
I guess dude, I've been trained to fight/kill etc. so I maybe I can't comment on this in an unbiased manner but I think that WHEN you're out you don't wanna be in that headspace where physical violence is even an option. When I'm confident around mixed sets, hotties, and other random dudes, the confidence doesn't come from my ability to destroy a dude, it comes from social momentum etc. Don´t know how can people need RSDN tell you that martial arts is good, it just HAS TO BE GOOD.

But then again, maybe a lot of dudes should train in a martial art just to develop manly, aggressive, competitive confidence.
Like they say, no matter how bad you are, someone is bigger and stronger and tougher than you. Its like an endless vaccuum. Unless you're gonna be a karate grandmaster or something.
So, definitely do the martial arts thing, but I don't think you're gonna find confidence with chicks from it. Dudes can be tough as hell in the ring but still be afraid of beautiful women. Its the damnedest thing.
Best of luck!

You can talk all the shit you want, but if I punch you in the face, there's very little you can do with your game. I definitely recommend you learn how to fight, and study multiple disciplines.
Realistically, if you're in a "safe" area with cops and security, you might be alright, but the world is much larger than just those places. In most places in the world, arbitrary rules and laws apply. Knowing how to effectively disable other people is an insurance policy that makes you more valuable as a man. Within my circle of friends, almost everyone knows how deal punishment and protect themselves, women respect that and can feel safe around you. Obviously this isn't a path for everyone but every man needs to feel safe and secure in his environment and there's different means to acheiving that.

Problem is MMA is very popular so everyone and their dog trains SOMETHING.
What problem? I think it's great. I love seeing WSHH videos where some idiot starts something with the wrong individual.By the way, just like with anything, there's a big percentage of people who dont follow through and stop showing up at classes at some point.

even well trained martial artists will suck in a real fight if they are not like water
so if a guy didnt train, but was like water in a fight, hed do better than trained martial artists who didnt

And guess what? It was like they wanted rapport with me. I didn't judge them, I didn't get all freaked out and reactive. I believe the alpha thing to do is often to be MORE relaxed and MORE calm in stressful situations.
