"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What's your weapon of choice?

I've been watching videos of different guns on youtube. I'm new to the scene, and obviously I can not conceal carry a gun here, even if I do it would be a traumatic pistol with none lethal rounds, so I prefer a knife at the moment. But all that is going to change soon, and I gave it a good though about guns. I realized that I already carry a knife all the time, and a gun is a logical upgrade to a knife. I wonder about some things though. For example what size pistol do people usually carry? There are full size and compact size, like beretta apx compact, or glock g19x, then there is single stack magazine compact size pistols like smith and wesson. I can't picture myself carrying an additional magazine with me, it would be too much. Also, thing that I don't understand yet is the lack of external safety on some of the pistols, seems to be a dumb idea to me.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Springfield XD9 is a good one. No safety on it, so that means you have to pull it and chamber it to fire it, which I think is a good idea. I don't want to walk around with a chambered gun on me, even if there is a safety. Too easy for the gun to malfunction.

If somebody totally surprises me, not much I can do anyway. If I am in a sketchy situation, I assume I will have time to pull it and chamber it.

Kydex holsters are molded to fit a specific gun, so there's no chance of accidentally pulling the trigger. Check out Comp-tac, I've been happy with their products.

I don't carry often, but when I do it's a Glock 26 or a Kahr pm9, always chambered. Neither has a traditional safety, but that's what the holster is for.

Hard to beat a mini 32-38 cal. revolver or s-a in a ankle or inner boot holster if your slacks/jeans will conceal it…
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
