Search Results: out of their league

I'm currently a Middleweight amateur boxing with a record of 55-3(42 KO/TKOs). I've been boing since I was 10 years old and a very long time fan of the sport. As for MMA, It wasn't until I was 12-13 years old that I suddenly also became a very vig MMA fan after watching a UFC fight between Anderson Silva and Rich Franklin. I've also been watching old recorded fights of Pride Fighting Championship, which had me all pumped up watching their fights.

Recently, I made some new friends in college who have had a long-time martial arts background (Muay Thai, Wrestling and BJJ). I told them that I'm an amateur boxer who's not only a diehard boxing fan but also big MMA fan. They told me if I'm interested in enhancing my fighting background and make a career out of MMA, then I can come over to their gym.

I've thought about the two careers and analyzed the pros and cons of Boxing and MMA.

Boxing -
Pros: Much more paycheck, more globally mainstream, rich history, more press freedom (compared to UFC/MMA), slightly more respectable athletes.

Cons: More higher risk of permanent head/brain injury and in-the-ring death, being a world champion in boxing has now become meaningless with multiple alphabet world titles from multiple unnecessary sanctioning bodies, a world boxing champion can cherry-pick their contenders if they wanted to and get away with it more often.

MMA -
Pros: Very fast growing sport, slightly less shady underhand tactics than boxing regarding fights and promoting a fighter, less likely to suffer from permanent brain damage and death than boxing, no world champions are allowed to cherry-pick their opponents once they sign a contract with a promotion/organization/league (UFC, Bellator, etc.).

Cons: Less paycheck, still only popular in a few countries (even in Brazil, MMA isn't all that well-known as a sport), outlandish and exaggerated promotion of the sport.

I've notice a lot on gags that girls tend to rate themselves highly such as 8/10, 9/10 and so forth and this is further excaserbated by the white knights on GAG who give the most basic of girls a score of 10/10 or call them perfect.

Example:


This sort of positive reinforcement of "I'm so hot", I believe make many women overvalue their physical beauty to be higher than it really is. When you factor in that most men who are 7-10/10 will gladly lower their standards for a quick fuck, do you think this sets women up for failure?

Imagine a girl is a 5/10. She puts on makeup and becomes 7/10 female. She gets approached by 8/10-10 males gaming her and enticing her for sex and she goes along with it. She now thinks she is in the league of these men since they are offering her sex. She gives it up on the same night or within a week and then tries to pursue a relationship and not realize she was just a booty call. She now gets angry and confuse as to why men that she perceive to be her physical equal are not wanting to pursue her for a relationship. Gets made and state all men are assholes who only sleep around with women and not wanting to commit.

Eventually after she stop venting, she decides to give a guy she percieve to be less physical attractive (5/10 male) than her a chance at dating her because she believe he would be more loyal and greatful.

She does not realizethat he is in fact her physical equal. I've seen it time and again and on gag when comparing male/female couples often than not women always seem to state the girl is better looking one in the couple.

Could this positive reinforcement of you are so hot make women fool themselves into thinking that handsome/rich men would want more from them other than sex?
