For those of you who don't know who Forrest Griffin is, he might be the most manly badass I have ever had the privilege to read about. Forrest is a UFC fighter, who won the first season of the Ultimate Fighter. He's a former light-heavyweight champion, and he recently wrote a book called "Got Fight?" which i picked up and read this past summer. He talks about how to be a "man" and tells stories that I thought I would share with you..
Forrest Griffin on...
- INTIMIDATION- He talks about how one time, his roommate was fucking with him in college. He could of kicked the shit out of the guy, but he decided to send a message instead of beating up the dude. So he takes a lighter, and looks at the kid. And he says simply "My records 16 seconds, want to see me break it?" and starts burning his arm. He held it there so long (3/4 seconds) that his roommate had to knock the lighter out of his hand. Forrest walked away, with a bubbly, burned arm, and acted like nothing happened. And that kid never fucked with him again..
- PICKING UP CHICKS- Now some of these are something I would never have the guts to do, but apparently I'm not a "real man". Forrest went up to a girl in a bar one time. They got to talking when he said "I'm sorry I can't do this, I have extremely low self esteem and I have a really small dick." The girl would try to walk away and get away from him, when he says to her "Do you think you could take a look and tell me what you think?" which is when he whips out his dick, and it automatically looks huge cuz she was expecting something so small. And she's immediately interested. It's called reverse psychology people.
- PAIN/QUITTING- When you're a fighter, obviously dealing with pain and giving up is a big part of the job. Forrest is fucking insane, and in his book he makes sure you know that. To train himself to feel no pain, he goes to the gym and gets on the treadmill. He puts the treadmill up to 15.0 (thats fucking fast for those of you who dont go to the gym), and runs. He'll sprint like that until his legs burn like nobodys business. It's basic human instinct to quit, but he doesn't. And after doing this day after day, you start to not feel pain as much, and not quit so easily in the ring.
