Search Results: being guarded

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.

There is a negative stereotype that men are slower to grow up and mature when it comes to how they treat the opposite gender.

Personally I know I think and react differently towards women in general compared to how I was in my teens and early 20s. I am more careful about the comments I make, refrain better from starring too long (if she’s attractive), I communicate better if I am interested or not, I make better thought out decisions and I handle rejection better (and reject others better) compared to the younger version of myself

I also know most women hate the feeling of “being used and/or lied to for sex.” If it’s a hook up or fling I’ll be open about my true intentions even if it costs me want. Not to say I was a liar when I was younger. But years ago I would stay tight lipped if I just wanted one thing when the other girl was thinking we would get in a relationship. In retrospect I recognize that was wrong. Nowadays I don’t give false hope.

That of course doesn’t mean I’m perfect. I will continue to make mistakes. However I am more cognizant of how the other gender thinks now. I also am less likely to get caught off guard if a bad gut sense about something.

With that said I’ve have unfortunately encountered a lot of grown ass women in their 30s and even older that still show blatant immaturity. The worse example is how some of them still play dumb if a guy is interested (and woman isn’t) to exploit the friéndzone for attention and benefits.

I would think a grown woman would know better than to do that. It’s not a sex issue but a respect issue. The guy has only so much time, resources and patience to stick his neck out.

He can handle rejection but being friendzoned is extremely insulting. He will usually figure it out faster than a young man and when he does he will feel exploited.

Just meeting older woman who still believe in this crap is insane.

This depends on the ex.

There are a 1-2 where I would gladly lead on and burn them preemptively. Reason being is what they did to me has never been done to them before. They actually need a painful lesson to see what their shitty decisions can do to people.

For example I had one ex completely ghost me after 9 months of dating after a minor argument. If she had experienced that herself (doubt she ever has) she would think twice about doing it to someone else. I however just never ghosted anybody out of simple principles. I always gave someone closure no matter how uncomfortable it was. But some people unfortunately just don’t have respect and common sense and need the school of hard knocks.

However I would just ignore others and avoid dating them. There is one girl I would have done a better job with communicating/responding with before she made a horrible decision (99.99% sure she cheated). That one could do turned out differently. But I would definitely kept my guard up.
