Five Hard Truths about Martial Arts that you don’t want to believe.

"The mere idea of having to fight someone just absolutely terrified me." Ah, grasshopper, fear is your friend. Increases strength endurance, shortens reaction time...fear is the reason that your ancestors survived long enough to procreate you.

Like "Greed is good....."

Who cares about all that crap I just want to impress women.
22,000hrs ? I'll stick to 1 a week and if I get beaten up in front of a women I'll just use the old "I didn't want to hurt him" line.

Women aren't impressed by Martial Artists or Fighters.

Yes they are.

You just hang out with women that are too intelligent (the wrong kind) to appreciate them.

Many a night of unbridled passion has been had using the line "my hands are registered as lethal weapons and the local police station"

A +27 yo fat chick with a kid and no high school diploma might. Kool thing about a professional escort, when you dump them, you dump them. The fat chick is like herpes, hard to get rid of. Then there is the woman scorned thing.

Getting good at Martial Arts takes far more work than you are putting inYou are out of shape, and no amount of technique will make up for your poor dietSize and Strength matter

what about people that just have a good grasp on fighting concepts and a strong self defense mentality? I'm 38 years old and in the worst shape of my life, but if anyone tried to bjj me I'd bite their lips off. You can be out of shape, out of practice and still defend yourself against some mma meathead that trains 24/7.

Point one out to me. You just described people who train or have trained in a useful, proven, martial art. But you could also be describing a deluded, mouth breathing, couch locked, idiot trying to feel good and prop themselves up ...

You were describing a delusional idiot after all.

This somehow reminded me the Colin Firth vs Hugh Grant fight scene in the Bridget Jones's Diary movie.
