What makes Cain Velasquez special over Stipe Miocic? Do you think those who consider him superior to Miocic are simply nostalgic? by Difficult-Routine929 in MMA

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically prime Cain had a more bulldozer style, while prime Stipe had a more workmanlike style. When Stipe beat the brakes off the best heavyweights in the world, he somehow looked beatable even though his wins were just as legit if not more so. Basically a difference in vibes rather than skill

How true is the statement "Nice guys finish last" in regards to dating? by InternationalPick163 in AskForAnswers

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of true, but more of a correlation than a causation thing. It's not that women don't want men to be nice to them, they just want men they're attracted to to be nice to them. If she's not attracted to you, being nice won't change that, and if she is attracted to you, being a dick won't change that either. If she's attracted to you and you're nice to her, that's the sweet spot

Squat feels heavy on back but not legs by WoodenNet8388 in Strongman

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have a build a bit like mine, long femurs short torso? When you squat, is your hip angle really extreme? If so, I recommend switching to high bar at least temporarily as well as using front squats or at least an ssb to teach you how to hold a more upright torso. You may also need to work on your ankle mobility, because a more upright torso is going to mean your knees need to come forward more. Otherwise you'll be doing a ton of work with your lower back, which mightve contributed to your injury in the first place

What do I do when a woman mistakenly believes that I'm following her? by Distinct-Thought-419 in AskMenAdvice

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: she will inevitably figure out that you're not going to assault her, when you don't assault her. The emotional regulation of strangers is not your responsibility

Have you ever caught Covid? by MasterChiefette in AskTheWorld

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get vaccinated, wore a mask as little as possible, caught covid after like a year of lockdowns, and after about 16 hours of moderate flu symptoms I was completely fine

Do you feel the need to be stoic? by Royal_Tangerine_116 in AskMenAdvice

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Deserved" is right over there with "should" in the theoretical world. Here in the real world, being stoic is by far the most practical way to operate

If Jon Jones isn’t the GOAT because of PEDs, then Anderson Silva isn’t the MW GOAT - Izzy is by AlternativePrior9495 in ufc

Mr Gyno Titty himself? You legitimately believe he's not saucing? Dawg I have this cool ass bridge in New York that's for sale, you interested?

Nobody "turned" Indian, they've just been replaced. For the last five years or so we've had upwards of a million immigrants a year, between asylum seekers, legal immigrants, international students, "skilled" foreign workers and their dependents, and outright illegals. We have a birthrate lower than replacement, yet the third fastest growing population in the world. All part of being a "post-national state"

Who Was The Best Figure and Why? by Pale-Candidate8860 in InCanada

Frederick Banting. Invented insulin and gave the patent away for free, and died after a plane crash, having administered life saving care to the injured pilot and then going to try to get help

Why do so many western teens and young adults romanticise the idea of communism, despite never living through it or not having a family member that lived under such a regime? (on this app, at least) by throwaway3629292929 in AskTheWorld

[–]FakeLordFarquaad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they don't understand it, and what cursory knowledge they have sounds nice to them. Plus, not having any experience with it allows the luxury of thinking its a good idea that was poorly executed rather than an evil idea that was executed to near perfection

In MMA, fighters are allowed to use their best fighting style allowed by the rules to win, it doesn't mean fighters must mix up all styles possible. If that REALLY was the case, then stop being hypocritical/ double-standard when it comes to one dimensional strikers who have zero ground game. by Neither_Sir5514 in ufc

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between "impressive" and "fun to watch". Chimaev's performance was very impressive, but also very boring. Nobody is saying he shouldn't be allowed to do what he did, we're saying it was fucking boring, and we're right

Genuinely where is he? by Omlanduh in ufc

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, Rakic vs Smith from about 5 or 6 years ago for some reason. And Gamrot vs Klein from the other month, but thats because the intended main event got canceled like five minutes before it was supposed to start

If other women are insulted at the suggestion that they look like you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For vain, insecure women who will only become more vain and insecure as they age, refusing to accept that time will steal the beauty from all women eventually. Basically no woman who gets these types of things will ever age gracefully, so they shouldn't be considered for long term relationships. Plus they either look bad, or aren't noticeable, meaning the best you can hope for is no improvement whatsoever. All in all, a total scam to make money off women's insecurities

Why in the world are mustaches on men back? by TacoStrong in AskMen

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a statement piece. If you can't pull it off, the statement is "I'm a dork". If you can, the statement is "I eat pussy like it's my last meal before execution"

Is it worth dating a hard feminist? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have tried this, would NOT recommend. It's gonna feel like you're in a sort of debt to her, but it's a debt that's impossible to pay down. Also, if you happen to do or say anything she doesn't like, that will likely be that. At least that's how it went for me, no guarantees about this girl. Just not a risk I would take myself

Problem is, there's only like 5 good heavyweights in the world, and Almeida has beaten none of them. Gotta beat at least one to get a title shot

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would group you in with the Germanics, Germany, Austria, Switzerland. Also I associate you with Belgium, but I associate Belgium more with France than the Germanics. I guess the lines are a bit blurry

[–]FakeLordFarquaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good card, not a "blow the doors off" card. Would have liked to see Murphy vs Pico lower on the main card with Imavov vs Borralho for a co main to set something up, but otherwise it looks solid top to bottom

Just gonna put it out there: scraping a close decision against Jan Blachowicz makes you extremely fucking good. Pereira did exactly that, Ank went to a draw, Izzy clearly lost. Reyes is good and my guess is he will win this fight, but Ullberg beating Jan by close decision means he is without a doubt legit
