"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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…
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
