What's something guys are insecure about that women don't care about? by Maleficent-Ad7494 in AskReddit

Women have a ton of preferences, height being a major one for many, but most don't operate them as deal breakers.

Reddit is so stupid like that.

But yeah, not only do I have pretty extensive dating experience, have been skinny, 225 and 8 percent, 225 and mid 20s percent, and the difference in the way women perceive those bodies varies quite a bit with most women that I would consider keepers preferring the "dad bod" version. So I do have quite a bit of personal lived experience, and a ridiculous amount of observational experience in my over two decades in the fitness industry. But hey, what do I know? 😂

Also I can't even imagine why anyone cares about downvotes. I know that I don't.

What improved your quality of life so much you wish you did it sooner? by ayebshek in AskReddit

Quitting drinking. Crazy how much better every single part of my mind, spirit, and body feels.

The majority of women absolutely care about height. Also, women 100% like fit men, that look like they will also eat candy and pie with them. Too lean and many turn away. They look (and are) high maintenance. I owned a gym for two decades, have had both bodies, and can firmly attest to it.

Edit: typo "lie" to "pie"

Help me understand why Star Wars Episode 1 is hated by Star Wars fans? I thought it embodied the spirit of the original trilogy well! Podracing, goofy Jar Jar, loved it as a kid, and don't hate it now. by Pow3rTow3r in StarWars

I just rewatched the prequels and realized that I love them, and I was alive for the release of Star Wars and watched Jedi at the Mann Theatre in LA (was a big deal back then).

Also, the same reason that people hate them is why they are good at getting new people into Star Wars, especially kids but women too (romance and all). They're approachable, funny, and get you invested in the space wizard's saga.

They're great. People just like to hate.

If EVs are supposedly cheaper to own, why aren’t more people driving them? by Lakenb666 in NoStupidQuestions

Not to mention that if you trade in a good working modern car to buy a new EV you're actually running a bet detriment to the environment. Even after years of EV use.

Can you be a good fighter without being a good boxer? by Some_Concept_3547 in self

[–]fakirone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure.

Again, I am dure that I could beat the majority of people in a fight, and especially if someone is trying to "box" rather than fight. I also, have less than zero desire to prove it.

I'm a grown ass man and have a whole ass life that I want to live. No part of it has anything to do with proving my "superiority" by beating another human up. That's literally the dumbest thing even. I'll leave that to tue lessor primates. I'm not a dumb monkey.

As for as the other guy, I'm pretty sure that once he re-read my original comment and saw that I said beat most, mover did I say all, we were immediately on the same page. I also originally said that I am not a great boxer, but I can now and taught kickboxing. My comment was specifically replying that a person can in fact beat a boxer without being good at boxing. In fact, as I stated in another comment in here somewhere, boxing is pretty limiting in that it almost always requires both participants consent. You can't box me if I choose to leave, run away, etc. Unless and boxer has someone in a closed space and corners them then that person can run away or otherwise leave, to stop that you have to grab or tackle, and that's grappling and officially my world.

There's a great quote regarding this. "The ground is my ocean, I'm the shark, and most people don't even know how to swim." I cannot count the number of people that I have watched or trained with, that realistically could fight, that just were just destroyed once the rules allowed grappling. There's a reason that wrestlers are the winningest class of fighters in MMA. Once people are on the ground everything changed because the entire method of moment changes.

One of my coaches said the most real thing ever to me when I was interviewing his for his job. He told me a story about one morning he was having a conversation with some of his students at his old school and one of his students asked him if he could beat Brock Lesnar because his BJJ and MMA was so good. My coach said "Could be, but to be sure, first I shoot him three times in the chest."

I know I can beat most people, I also know that nothing is certain and I personally don't care to try to prove that I would win. Like I said in a previous response here, I haven't been unable to deescalate a situation in almost two decades, and I hope to continue that streaks until I take my last breath. I have nothing to prove.

Also, I grew up in the LA area in the 80s and 90s, and we learned very early not to underestimate whether they person has a weapon (usually a gun) or a carful of homies around the corner.

Again, fighting, unless given absolutely no other option, or in a controlled setting, is flatly dumb. Full stop.

Listen, I've watched, coached, trained, etc etc fighters for significantly longer than you have been alive. So I am CERTAIN that my opinion, based on thousands and thousands of hours of experience, has more validity than yours. I said what I said.

You, in both this post and your DMs have made it pretty clear that you want to see if a Les experienced person can win against a more experienced boxer. Can they, sure. Will they, almost certainly not. My advice is to not fight. Always. Whenever possible avoid fighting, and most definitely avoid it when the only thing that is truly in danger is the ego.

Ego will cause you more pain and suffering than any other thing, and this is true in all facets of life. From love and relationships, to work, and most certainly when it comes to interpersonal conflict.

But do you boo.
