"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.

Actually, here's another old adage:

Women want to marry men who will give them the lifestyle to which they would like to become accustomed.

Women struggle all of their lives to be prettier than the next girl in order to have the hottest guy or richest guy (or both, with the latter becoming more important as women grow older). Men very rarely want to "marry up," except when it comes to attractiveness. Men simply want to be the envy of other men, not just for their career successes or wealth, but also for the attractiveness of their wives. This is especially the case with men who couldn't date attractive women when they were younger because they lacked good looks, money or both.

There are, of course, exceptions, such as men who want to marry the boss' daughter in order to take over his company eventually, or a powerful senator or congressman's daughter because they want to go into politics (e.g., former Senator Charles Robb of Virginia married former President Lyndon Johnson's daughter).

As Pook pointed out, however, if you want to "aim high" for a woman that is currently out of your league, you need to work hard at those things in your life that will put you in her league (or even beyond -- remember, women want to "marry up").

So you want to get laid by hot women? Get off your a$$, turn off the computer, and get started!
 

"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.

With all the ugly guys or average I see with beautiful women why not aim high? Mind you don't make two years trying to date Shakira! Although everything is possible in life.

Pook who is this Redford? Is he a column writer or a normal guy?

"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.

giartodil, first of all, I'm glad you bumped this post. This is another Pook classic that I had missed.

Second, you're 19 bro, you should put some effort into learning how to spell.

No offense.

I think what's also important is the difference between society scale and personal scale of hotness. I know lots of woman that socity would put at HB9-10 but for the most part they do nothing to me. Yet there is a number of society HB7-8s that i do any day only beace they turn me on way more than those HB9-10s.

This is something that I didn't see in the DJ bible while I was reading. Did I miss it? Anyhow, good work Pook.

Im sure we could take many of Pook's posts and compile the "book of Pook" within the DJ bible.

You know this is so weird, I just realized that I actually read that Bryan Redford article years ago and back then I half-heartedly agreed with him with that stupid car comparison. So glad my mindset has changed so much since then.
 

"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.

Great and true post. I've noticed that as I get better at life, girls that I used to long for now lose their appeal. Ah, how unfortunate would it have been to settle with one of them when I still didn't know better.

life is too short and the road is too long to drive anything other than a mercedes-benz. :)

in any case i think there are defineately such things as leagues but thats not to say that you can't move up a league with self-improvement.
