"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?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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%.
