Search Results: being straight

I have had to turn down a few women over the years for this reason (despite liking everything else about them).

It’s tried to force myself to date a woman who I wasn’t physically attracted to once in my life. That ended in absolute disaster. I also left feeling like a pos because I got her hopes up.

But I have never straight up told a woman I was turning her down because I wasn’t physically attracted to her. It just sounds way too cruel. I have alluded to it (e. g. said I wasn’t feeling the spark, she’s not my type, etc). But not said it straight out. I know the desire to feel attractive and getting attention from men is a big deal to their existence (it is for men too even though we don’t admit it)

However I have had woman reject me and say this straight to my face. It was the truth but they could of just said “sorry but I don’t have feelings for” or just “sorry I am not interested”. I would of gotten the hint just as easily. Not need to point the obvious anyhow then necessary.

Women often accuse men of being superficial and cruel. But I’ve observed the opposite more often then once. I think men have generally conditioned to be more “delicate” when rejecting women. But not the same vice versa.

Truth be told, I'm still out of form, but recovering from Type 2 Diabetes nearly killing me earlier in life. I have always wanted to try my hand at real fighting, so the Promoter, Mr. Ancona, wanted me to fight a few Amateur fights to be sure I'm up to par.

My biggest weakness is my Roundhouse kicks are not up to par. I'd rate them D/D- honestly.

My hand striking is still A/A+

My Standing Guard should be up to the challenge at A/A+

I am very good at leg checking.

My Straight Front kicks should be A+, with my Front Thrust Kick being my best strike.

I fight "Switch" but it has been a very long time since I fought full contact, so I'm not sure how good my footwork is going to be. It used to be A+, but with age I think it has come down a bit.

The fight is scheduled and sanctioned by the Louisiana Boxing Commission for three three-minute rounds as usual and will take place August 12. I will be fighting in the Light Heavyweight Division, even though my natural weight should be one division below that.

Thanks.

I am 5'9 and weigh over 150lbs and I am in my mid 20s (profile age is fake). I am naturally quite skinny, with my arms being thin. I typically lift 30lbs dumbbells at least once a month to at most every other day, but usually lift once a week. I eat a mix of fast and healthy food, with the latter not really being high in protein. How much more do I have to lift and how much protein do I have to consume to get arms that are as big as my calves? I think maybe I should ditch dumbbells and go straight for those curls found in gyms, and start with 90lbs (45lbs each) to eventually 120lbs as my endgame (60lbs each). I also know that the way the weights are lifted and the amount of reps matters too, with lesser reps being better for muscle growth than more.
