I was speaking to a girl on facebook, and i told her that i was a Kickboxer.

She said that makes you sound like a Psycho, and i was shocked.

I thought most girls would find this quite attractive, I actually love kickboxing and its one of my passions though should i tell girls about it?

I was thinking of using this opener for when i go out this weekend:

"Hi, can i get your opinion on something? If i was to tell you i was kickboxer would you think im Psycho??"

And then feed of her reply.. With something like:

"Well its a good job im not a psycho then.."

I also read a good line on these forums somewhere where someone had used...


"Im a lover not a fighter, but also a good fighter so dont get any ideas. "

So im thinking of using this in there somewhere too?

IMHO, don't use that opener, it tells other girls that a girl(s) have called you a psycho... It's a bad start. I think the problem with the kickboxer facebook approach probably had a bad delivery or she just wasn't interested. All females want an alpha male that can protect the pack.

If it comes up, yea, but as for using it as opener I'd say HELLS NO. Kickboxing is a hyper masculine/masculine-dominated sport, being so overt about it to me at least is tantamount to a wealthy guy boasting about his wealth to attract a girl, and typically this is a complete turn off.

It's one thing being good at something, another thing entirely wearing it as your identity, and saying right off the bat you're a kickboxer sends off signals that you're trying to impress her.

Yeah i see what you mean, if she asks what hobbies you like you could bring it up then though?

I think its all about how its delivered? If its done discretely as in she brings it up, its ok then?

My friend is a world champion kickboxer and he goes on about it all the time and it never attracts girls so i totally understand.

Weird really...

Reading this back now i can see how boastful it sounds, the girl on facebook i knew for a while.. so it was ok. But i dont think its one to be used on new girls.
