Shooting is manly. Shooting well is an alpha trait. Shooting better than her is best of all, if you can manage it.
Most women think they hate guns until they actually try shooting and find out that it’s really fun. A good friend of mine is engaged to a fairly liberal woman. She’s been preparing for law school so that she could be a human rights lawyer for the UN (I think she’s given up on that; he’s an officer in the Army and she’s finally just given in and accepted that his career doesn’t keep him in one place long enough for her to go to a prestigious law school). At the beginning of their relationship I’d have pegged her to be one of the most anti-gun people around. A few months ago I wrote to him asking some advice on firearms (he’s one of the most gun knowledgeable people I know, and I’m in the market; he gave great advice, too) for myself and my wife. His response just about killed me: “Well, I got my fiancée a CZ-75 P-07 Duty and she loves it.”
Most women, even extremely liberal women, do find that it’s quite enjoyable once they actually spend some time around it. And being the one to introduce her to it puts you in the Alpha mode, especially if you’re actually any good at it.
A few days ago Hermione and I made our second trip to the range in as many months, trying stuff out before settling in on what to buy (our local range has some rentals available). I’ve pretty well settled in on a Springfield Armory XD-45 Tactical in black, which I rented for the second time today. My wife tried out a different gun today, a Walther P-22. She was a lot more comfortable with that, and we ended up deciding that it’s probably better to start her on a .22 like that (we haven’t quite settled on a specific gun yet, although she liked the Walther) and then move to a “real” caliber once she’s got some more practice and confidence. All in all, a good time. OK, maybe I had more fun than she did, but she did enjoy it.
Also, it didn’t hurt the alpha game that she was shooting bullets like the one on the left while I was shooting bullets like the one on the right.
