The original Poon King. I would have sworn that they were the same person, but they both denied it via PM
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Nah, I think Poon King and Play Her Man were later imitators.
TLDR: There was no Burroughs-lite lol.

Yeah, burroughs was the first poster to ever reference Briffault's Law. And he did it constantly. And the first to use red ink.
Poon King took his style and ran with it. Made a name for himself in his own right.

Poon King/PHM was a clown... going back and reading his posts, what a joke.
"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.

His politics did not align with the views of the other mods. This site is very right wing.

Thats bad, I didnt share his political view but he was a positive user to talk about many topics.
Guru is probably posting with some other nick, just pick any that brags about being a top alpha among the top alphas yet flood the board with 100 messages daily when is around...maybe he is a public employee that would explain the free time.

Yeah I always liked Espi. Didn’t pay attention to Guru posts.

Fact Check: He got fired for being a mod because he was trying to micromanage the rest of the MOD team and being a jerk.
BB You’ve been a really good member overall other than your hatred for the mod team. You’ve been a solid contributor. But if the site does not align with your views why do you keep coming back? I always find it fascinating people that bash sosuave and keep returning. Enlighten me.

"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.

Someone has to keep you idiots from letting this place turn into the training ground for the next right wing nutball terrorist. You let white supremacist propaganda stay up undeleted, and that's funny and all, but don't you think they go through the internet records of the nutballs who get arrested? What would it do to this place if we were the site that radicalized the next mass murderer? I want to be the one pointing out these things before they happen. You can take that as hatred if you want, but I think of it as constructive criticism.

There is a term for what you’re trying to do but I can’t think of it off the top of my head.

All are welcome to apply, even those with a disdain for our shop. Maybe Allen lays in bed at night thinking about one of his 96,000+ members being the next Timothy McVeigh and wants someone to keep us all in line.
"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.
