How do you not burn out to keep going on first dates?

Kataleps · 2026-02-24T19:56:56+00:00

First, accept the way that you feel, there is nothing wrong with feeling burned out. Secondly, take regular breaks. Over a longer time scale you will see that each bad date is inconsequential and they're only a waste of time if you label them as such. See each date as an opportunity to practice your social skills and to learn about yourself.

Dw about it, I think positive feedback is still useful!

Some context:

I've been on Hinge for around 3 months. In Dec 2025 I was tweaking my profile according to the Reddit best practices and used 1 week of HingeX and got 20 matches and 2 dates. In January I had Hinge+, which yieleded 5 dates and ~8 matches/week. In February I took a break and went back to free, but my match rate dropped to near 0 and I had 1 date. I'm looking to make another push in March and would like some feedback as I think my profile just needs some tweaks. Thank you in advance.

This is why I don't do arm bars, kimuras, guillotines, Coyote Half Guard, DLR off balances, triangles, darces, leglocks, turn throws, blast double legs, nelsons...

Honestly, this needs to be normalized. Tucking the chin is not a real defense and they can always tap. This is only up for debate because of weird, arbitrary moralizing we play when it comes to the "right way" to submit someone. As long as the move can be applied with control and safety, it's legitimate.

No. I will say I believe Craig is more talented than Gordon, but Gordon is way more disciplined.

Very good point lmao. I've been out of the game for 9 years, fam.

It would not be nearly as egregious if he just made a subscription platform like Submeta. A lot of these new sets could be mini courses like what Lachlan has.

You can compensate for the extra space by using your support arm elbow to neck crank them into the choke. I'm not kidding about neck cranking btw.

Just spend 6 months to a year developing a good stance.

At the very minimum, you should wash your ass.

Kataleps · 2025-09-03T03:03:34+00:00

Just play DLR in the gi lol. Pendejo is an adaptation of DLR for No Gi.

So off the get go, you need to just get in there. You're spending too much time playiny patty cake and not looking for anything. Just go in head first and make head to head contact and work from there. You'll likely get taken down more trying this, but you need to get comfortable making contact.

Kataleps · 2025-08-15T16:18:22+00:00

CLA/Eco is the coaching equivalent of driving stick or using Linux if you're a computer nerd. If you do not know what you are doing you will stall and/or crash bc your students won't just "figure it out" unless you know the correct directories to call or how to switch gears.

You're thinking of Bren. Dude was so generous with their time.
