Search Results: cocky guy

As a guy who just recently graduated High School with a GPA of 3.5 and is now currently in community college, I feel like all of this work is for nothing if I haven't done much extracurricular activities (never competed in any sports) in my high school years to win many scholarships. I was born and grew up in a state where education is unfortunately devalued (Arizona) so the only options for me are my state universities (ASU, UofA and NAU) since they're more affordable and not as unrealistically selective. My GPA is fairly good enough for my preferred Out-Of-State Universities like NYU and Boston University (BU) but their annual tuitions are even much more expensive than all of the AZ Universites. I don't want to sound cocky or spoiled but I feel like I deserve better than all the AZ universities being offered.

Whether people like to admit it or not, American University Colleges in general, are just too expensive and it takes a super talented individual to win many scholarships and get into higher-ranked, top Universities so for most part, all that hard work in high school is for nothing.

I've heard that very attractive girls intimidate a lot guys away (they think she's out of his league or she's already taken) and the ones that do have balls to approach, are usually cocky guys who are just trying to get laid, they have trouble finding quality guys.

Is this actually a thing or a myth?

I'm a middleweight amateur boxer who has competed in the sport since the age of 10. Now, I'm 20 years old and I'll tell you, boxing is a very tough and physically demanding sport and not something to be taken lightly at all.

Anyways, there was this new guy in my gym who came to my boxing gym. He happens to come from an MMA background (as an amateur MMA competitive, for a very short time). At first, I thought he seemed like a pretty good kid at first... until he started to show his very disrespectful and cocky personality. He started to talk all sorts of crap about boxers and boxing in general, about how he thinks he can easily kick any boxers ass with his MMA background in the ring and how boxing is such an "easy, p*ssy pillow-fighting" sport.

I started to ask him if he thinks he's such a badass tough guy who believes he can take on any boxer in the ring, then why don't you step in the ring with me for sparring. He relucantly accepted. As soon as we started sparring, he just went charging wildly at me with looping punches, then I just utilized my footwook and constantly threw him off balance and knock him down with a few power shots. After knocking him down for like the 3rd time in a row already just a couple seconds before the first round ended, I asked him if he's finished yet, he said no, and then we took our 30 second break for the next round. Then, we proceed our sparring session for the next round. He's still fighting with crappy defense and I landed one powerful straight right hand directly to his chin and he went flying across the ring, down to the canvas. As soon as he tried to get up, he struggled at first but rushingly got back up, then stumbled back down to the canvas floor. That's when I started to tell my trainer to end the session since I didn't want to seriously hurt the guy but to teach him a lession and put him in his place.
