Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

in the US, legally, by civilian, google for it, it's been studied and is legit. now, well under 10,000 punks get shot during these attempted crimes, so it's very rare for the good guy to have to fire at all, and a lot more rare to have to actually hit someone with a bullet to stop them. so speed of getting the gun out, ON the azzhat,, in time for him to see it and flee, is far, far more important than the (very slow) accuracy of which 99.% of the population is capable.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I said 1 million to be more realistic. criticism is not the same thing as 'proven incorrect', you know. :) I just wanted guys to see how seldom it is necessary to even fire, much less hit anybody, IF you have a gun, and IF you get it pointed at the offender early enough in the confrontation, from enough distance.
