"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

They are making it so annoying to carry these days. If you defend yourself you will still probably have to spend tons of money for defense. Also in my state they make renewing and getting your CCW a super pain. It takes months are you have to take a 16 hr class plus applications. It makes me want to move down South.
 

"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.

Trying not to. Most people just don't get it. ANY politician or governing powers on ANY side of the fence stands to gain from disarming citizens. And they'll be the only ones who gain from it and everyone else will lose. Nearly overnight.

To OP: If you're not keen on every state's laws, start becoming a regular pursuer of knowledge in that area. There are several northern states that have better gun laws and legislation than their southern counterparts. There are some southern states with HORRIBLE legislation. Examples are Montana Vs California and Vermont VS Virginia. Although you're pretty fair in stating that overall the southern states boast friendlier experiences for a carrying citizen.

HB and SB in your state are on the states website. ALSO, you would be wise to look up the laws in all neighboring states. Like it or not, that will have an effect on things as well. (EDIT*** SB refers to Senate Bill and HB House Bill. We use 'HB' on SS for something entirely different, although I must say, my model .586 is a HB9!)

My major rant on carry or this topic in general is the misplaced assumption that gun nuts or just average gun owners are dumb and uneducated. You actually need to be MORE knowledgeable than others. Crossing the state line with anything I have other than bolt action or a revolver means I'm now a felon. And there's no "Oops I didn't know" leniency.

C02 projectile shooter when at higher power is very effective. In most locations its legally a different model, yet used properly can stop pretty much anyone. Pepper shots sound silly, but also gets the job done. Pepper followed by a rubber ball at 40+ Joeles is effective. Head shot can still be fatal.

Think gun that does not exactly match the legal definition.

"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.
