"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 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 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 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
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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%.
