Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I think there is too much dogma surrounding pickup and dating advice. In reality they're are all kinds of different people and there is no one single strategy or way of being that is going to work for everyone.

You see this with concepts such as alpha/beta, the red/blue/purple/black pill, mgtow, incels and so on. People start to identify with these groups and close their minds to any alternative way of thinking.

In the end I think that, whilst it can be useful to listen to other people's advice and learn from their experiences, you have to find your own way in life and figure out what you want to do.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I still say what Pook has said is 80% of this site. Derivatives in everything he covered has been repetitively covered by new comers everytime. Most everything can be associated to the 15 lessons he outlined.

In this case,
“Trust the gut.”
Be not contained by formula.

A lot of truth in this post. There's no better way than going out there, experimenting and through trials and errors figure out what works best for you.

This includes all aspects of life, career, dating, nutrition, exercise etc.

Yes, I like Pook. He's like the Tony Robbins of pickup.
