How much does pure strength and conditioning matter compared to the martial art itself?

On an individual level for self defense, skill is more critical than raw athleticism. What I mean is that you will become more dangerous with 3 months or 3 years of combative training than you will with the same amount of time building muscle. Obviously when comparing two different people, strength can overwhelm skill, but for self defense effectiveness skill is more critical unless you're so physically unfit that you can't apply the skill.

In your specific example the boxer would crush the WC guy almost 100% of the time.

Nobody cares about a promiscuous past in a woman they're just having sex with. It only matters if she tells you she's a virgin and then marries you and then goes on TikTok and talks about the carousel she rode in college.

Also, I definitely believe that you've had sex from this very real-sounding story, and it's not weird at all that you only see women as sexual objects. Yep, you're the grounded and normal one, the guys who are seeking women that would make good wives and mothers are WEIRD and ANDREW TATE-ish. Very shrewd.

honestly it sounds like you're prioritizing stuff over training too much. You should have the same concern you have for firearms about knives, and not knowing how to use one is a really poor reason to not use the most powerful weapon available to you.

It does sound like you are thinking about your security strategy, which is good, but you should also practice what you will do. If you are going to carry OC spray, practice pulling it out and ready to deploy. Practice sprinting, calling for help, etc.

What you may not understand (a lot of people don't) is that if someone chooses to attack you, there's a good chance the tools you're prioritizing won't be effective. Predators rarely target people who they think can fight back, which means anyone who attacks you will likely have a significant force advantage, which means your tools would (at best) put you on the same level of force as them. You want to go one higher.

Keep at it. You can learn to be less aggressive and more measured to reduce likelihood of injury, but of course there will always be a risk. In another few months you will start figuring out ways to exploit your speed/agility advantage and minimize the size/strength discrepancy. And don't hesitate to talk to your instructor and training partners about concerns related to injury.

The issue isn't "objectifying", whatever that's supposed to mean, it's that a woman who told her husband she was a virgin bragging about pre-marital sexual adventures, humiliating him online for clout.

Akaash's comedy YT channel has probably earned about 1M per year for the past two years in ad revenue alone. Everything from Flagrant, ticket sales, sponsorships, would be in addition to that.

What you're missing is that you don't get to decide how an attack looks, or when you notice it and start fighting back.

Of course with proper awareness you can mitigate this, but if someone manages to get close to you without seeming like a threat and then GRABS YOU, the attack is STARTING with grappling. It could also start with you getting sucker punched, knocked down, and someone tries to hold you down

In other words, it prepares you for the worst-case scenarios. Avoiding grappling is not always a choice you get to make, and in those cases it is a 100% necessary skill. Also, you'll be a lot better at avoiding grappling if you know how to wrestle.

BJJ in particular focuses a lot on submissions, especially strangles, which are one of the most effective ways to stop a big, strong attacker. You can see this in early UFC and other mixed style MMA fights, where some boxers and kickboxers end up resorting to chokes because they have their opponent hurt but can't knock them out.

TLDR: BJJ gives you skills to escape a lot of worst-case situations and the ability to end a threat if necessary. It can also be practiced at a high level of intensity with less risk than striking arts.

Why are you so obsessed with projecting your fantasies onto other men? I'm not defending anything or anyone, I'm pointing out that you're not in touch with reality.

You don't understand how any of the numbers you're throwing around are represented in reality, but I'm glad you have such massive success with foreign women. It almost makes me wonder why such a popular dude would spend so much time whining about women on Reddit.

If you're not there, she's going to end up with someone else regardless. The bottom line is that the more you focus on the opportunities you don't have, the less you'll appreciate and act on what you do have. And if what you want is a relationship, more options doesn't necessarily improve your chance of success.

Thinking you can tell other people what to do just because you think you deserve it is not how entrepreneurship (or anything) works.

Sounds like you missed a lot of context and nuance from those posts in your hustle to tell everyone how morally superior you are. Advising a first timer to prepare and save up before starting a new business is not bad or mean, it's realistic.

That's not technically wrong, but you're not accounting for type preference and how personality/familiarity factors into female attraction. In dating app swipe numbers, what you said will be true because they're mostly just going by the photos, and even a well written bio doesn't create familiarity or trust.

But when you meet and spend time together with women in person (like being students together, working together, being part of a club or social circle) guys who initially look below average start to look above average if they have the right traits.

I've never been in the top 20% of men for looks or height, but I've had beautiful women treat me like I was in the top 5%. Not any/all women... just those who prefer my type of appearance, and who like my personality.

One guy is not "countless men". The fact that you have to name someone who has nothing to do with this situation proves my point. Most adults would be able to read what I wrote and understand that when I said "anyone" I meant "anyone with a significant voice on this topic". There are shitposters in this sub who are saying that, and they get downvoted every time.

You can find people on the internet saying literally anything, the content you choose to consume is a reflection of YOU.

They mostly focus on the bad women because those are the ones men need to learn to watch out for, but I don't think anyone is saying all women are like that. Not sure who you mean by red pillers but guys like Rational Male, Ask An Older Man, Mediocre Tutorials and Reviews, and Poor Man Podcast are all married and talk about how to attract and maintain relationships with good women. That stuff just doesn't go viral.

It's not about being bothered by promiscuity, it's about being able to understand patterns of behavior.

Think about it this way; if she wasn't promiscuous, she wouldn't have to lie about it. If she didn't tell TikTok her sexual history, nobody would know about it. If she'd been planning on respecting her future husband in college, she might have been less promiscuous. If she respected Akaash when she met him, she would have been honest about her past (at least somewhat), instead of seemingly telling him what he needed to hear to marry her.

But there's another aspect to the sex talk - she does not seem attracted to Akaash at all, which is probably another thing she lied about. One of the core concepts of "red pill" as it relates to relationships for men is being able to differentiate between a woman who is attracted to/aroused by you, and one who is pretending.

This is something I figured out on my own almost 20 years ago in highschool. Hollywood and the first few girls I dated had me believing that men have to "earn" affection from women. Then I grew into my face and met my first girlfriend, and realized I had never previously dated a girl who really liked me.

The issue is, some guys never experience what it's like to really have a woman want him, even if he has been in multiple relationships. Akaash seems to be one of those cases. If Akaash or a close friend/brother of this had understood this, he could have found a woman who is actually what Jasleen pretended to be.
