7 Reasons Why Women Like Guys Who Train Jiu Jitsu

7 reasons Why Women Love Guys Who Train Jiu Jitsu

If you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu it will certainly not pass away from the women. They will notice you, adore you and want you. And here is why!

1. Women like Confident guys

If you think you’re tougher than most people around you, it greatly helps with your confidence. You’re fighting almost every day and know what to expect in almost every situation. They like it when you’re confident enough to make the first move, to be as ridiculous as you can so they can laugh, etc. And you’re confident enough to think they won’t think of you as a complete fool.

2. Women like protectors

Women are always dreaming about a guy who is as tough as nails and can protect them and their children against anyone. So if you train BJJ that’s exactly something you can offer to them. Especially when they feel free to yell at anyone while driving and you’re in the passenger seat.

3. Women like humble guys

No matter how strong you are, Jiu-Jitsu makes you humble because you always know there is someone bigger, better, or stronger. As you’re used to admitting that someone is better by tapping that’s why you’ll admit to your woman that she’s right instead of arguing and always trying to prove a point. That’s exactly what will bring good vibes to your relationship and it’s very good in the long run. And we all know how women like when they are right. Even though they’re not in most cases.

4. Women like healthy and fit guys

BJJ guys tend to be as healthy and fit as possible. If you train BJJ you’re working on every single muscle in your body and even on those you didn’t even know existed. And if you want to be the best and you really try and train often you will mix some healthy food and that’s it. That’s often enough for a woman to imagine you as a father of their kids because you’re fit, you’re healthy, you’re muscular, you look good, you’re smart, you’re humble, you’re strong, you’re funny, you’re protector, you’re good, you’re superman… ok, you got it!

5. Women like intelligent guys

Have you noticed that in BJJ gyms there are no big, bald (nothing wrong with being bald) rednecks acting like they just evolved from alpha male monkeys a few days ago? You did right? That’s because those guys can’t accept defeat, they can’t figure out that tapping is the process of learning and they don’t improve as fast as they should because Jiu-Jitsu requires a lot of intelligence to understand techniques and be able to apply them.

It doesn’t mean that someone who progresses slowly is stupid because there are a lot of other factors involved in BJJ progress but not-so-intelligent guys have a hard time achieving any knowledge in BJJ.

So, if you train BJJ that means you’re using your brain A LOT, and women like it. They simply love it when you can figure out in a second what they want, otherwise, they’ll start talking and complaining and you want to avoid it at all costs.

6. Women like guys with good movement

Training Jiu-Jitsu requires a lot of movement. Especially a lot of hip movement and that’s also what matters to women. I’m not sure how they like shrimping in bed or applying some RNC on them from time to time or some half-guard and back-take variations together with overhooks and underhooks late at night, but you’re very innovative.  That’s probably something they never saw before so you’re unique and interesting to them. That will last for at least the first few days until they tell you that you’re a complete idiot.

7. Demi Lovato is training in BJJ

Isn’t that enough to contribute to all these facts about why women love us? She’s training BJJ just so she can be surrounded by such alpha male guys like we are.

Conclusion

As we can see there are no cons in training Jiu-Jitsu. You simply have everything. You’re Healthy, you’re humble, you’re strong, you’re intelligent, you have good movement… That’s all they want.

OK, winning a lottery or being rich can help a lot too, but we don’t want gold diggers anyway so, WE, again, have everything that women want.
