"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"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.

There are some great posts on this website, and this is one of the best. The 15 lessons are 15 truthes. They didn't mean much to me when I first came here and read them about a year ago, but I read them now and they resonate because I can now fully grasp it.

Cheers
 

"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.

Great post but there's one thing I dont agree. The lesson when he says you should date 2 girl or you will act AFC. That's OK if you want to stay single (that is not get married) all your life but what is wrong with looking at a woman like your wife if you intend to marry her.


I got a questionIt's been bugging me for 3 years now. What does POOK mean?

Pook then called up a woman. She appeared in a blaze of fire (probably from the place which all women are from…).

You know, I've often wondered myself if Satan was female. Satan's beauty is referenced in The Bible. It would connect alot of dots if so.

Hahahaha... Women are evil.

But if hell is full of womanly beauty, I'm going to hell! :D



It took me 2 reads to mentally digest all of this pook post. Will come back later.

4/5 :up:

Wow, Pook still writes, and is doing a greater job at it too. Nice.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I do not understand the cult-like fascination some of you have for this guy.

You've learnt to knock women off pedestals - but then you quickly replace your obsession with this Pook guy. You clearly look up to him more than any other poster, and I cannot see why. I do not mind, it's just that it's a waste of time reading his posts.

If anything his threads are a bunch of BS. You can cut it all down to probably a paragraph. His writing is too much filler and not enough substance.

1/5 stars

If reading it is a waste of time, what of replying to it? You musn't value yourself or your time very highly. Nobody has him on a pedestal. This is a good tip, in the tips forum, and people acknowledged that. Lighten up.

Look, there's an entire thread in the tips forum just below this about treating women like kids. That's just one of Pooks 15 lessons here!

BUMP:yes:

Except for lesson 14. If you expect the girl to be faithful and loyal why cant you? Ofcourse she has to demand the exclusivity(sp?) first. Oh and the pook spirit sure likes to slap the young man (increasing kino?:p )
