"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.

I have been drooling over the new XD(M) line from Springfield Armory. First the 40 S&W and now the 9mm. Hopefully an XD(M) .45 will be next which is what I would get. I'm probably just a sucker for good marketing but I like the idea of the short-reset trigger, match-grade barrel, etc. Anybody else have one of these on their Christmas list? Anybody shoot an XD(M) yet?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I don't know much about the XD-M, but these guys do. I ended up going with the Glock over the XD. I'm now thinking about getting a Sig.

I have an XD-45 with 5" pipe. Love it, but I also like my Glock-20 and 32.

Haven't checked out the M but I've wanted an XD for awhile now.

An XD was on the Christmas list, but I think I'm going to get a SumoSac instead
 

"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.

I love the XDs... they fit great in my hand and don't have the suspiciously high accidental discharge rates that glocks do.

Thanks for the feedback and links. Sounds like the trigger is not so great. My other gun is an S&W686 with a long hard double action trigger. So I really wanted my second gun to be the opposite: short light crisp single-action trigger. Any suggestions on a good .40 or .45 with a great trigger out of the box?

Oh come on. I like my XD too, but "suspiciously high accidental discharge rates" is just a load of horse pucky. Glocks are super popular and a lot of people with questionable skill levels choose them because they are a famous name. They are completely safe in the hands of a non-retard.
 

"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.

I guess it just comes down to the fact I can't stand Glock triggers. If it can't have one in the tube and be on safe (thumb safety, mind you) then I don't like it.

It's the same as a DA revolver. If you don't pull the trigger it won't go bang, 100%.
