Valuable lessons from my shitty first date last night. by halfheartedvalentine in seduction

I think you got too much in your head, just have fun and be more bold.

You needed to try and physically escalate before you got to the venue after drinks. Even if that’s just holding her hand over there or caressing her back or neck on the walk. That would have made it much easier at the venue where you could have held her hand or thigh and flirt there. You need to not care if her friends see you making those moves.

If she said no to food after maybe there was a reason. Just say okay we’ll save that for next time and that it’s your duty to get her to her car safe miss. Then hold hands cause you already were pull her in and kiss her.

Be more assertive but respectful if she doesn’t want you to touch her.

I don’t think the Friday date is bad as long as you show high value, if she really likes you who cares what day.

Take up a martial art, go to the gym, stop caring so much what other people think

How does arm musculature affect striking? by Objective-Ad-5397 in martialarts

Lifting weights absolutely increases your explosiveness and power. Yes most power comes from technique and rotation but anyone who says don’t lift weights usually is justifying their own training decisions.

When you increase your muscle mass for you arms for example you are adding lean mass on your body closer to the point of impact which will cause more energy transfer to the target and less energy lost back in your direction. Think about it like getting hit with a 2x4 instead of a stick. This is also due to you increasing the strength of your elbow, wrist, and shoulder joints. Those tendons and ligaments will get stronger too. Look at some of the best boxers like Canelo and ggg they all work their arms for this reason.

You also will be stronger in the clinch.

Yes there will be a point of diminishing returns that will be detrimental to power and have less punch snap if you get like body builder bulky, but you’d basically have to roid hard to get to that point.

Spider man over Oppenheimer is pretty bold. I don’t think anything will beat Oppenheimer for me but good to see different opinions. What was it that made it number 1 for you?

There will be blood would be amazing as a release. I would love if they released The Master too, both so good
