"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.
Fifteen Lessons
- Thread starter Pook
- Start date
"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.

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.

"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.

Beautiful.
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?

"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.

one of the "life-changing" posts!
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!
It took me 2 reads to mentally digest all of this pook post. Will come back later.

"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.

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.

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.myspacepickupguide said:
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!

Thank you!
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? )
