"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.

"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.

I have to say the first time I read Jobs' speech, which was early this summer, I was shocked at how blunt he was. I mean I like the antidote of his career life, coming back from getting fired from his own company, but I don't think it his theme "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" is that correct. There are many AFC's who are hungry and foolish. And it is both their hunger and their foolishness that is helping them stay a chump.

Steve, your a great communicator and innovator, but not a self-help-this-is-the-key-to-live guru.
 

"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.

The world I once lived in was a complete illusion. It was never real. I haven’t found a significant truth in it.

I haven't read a Pook post in a while. This was a good post. I should start reading the archives again.
