I'm thinking of picking up his book "Women".
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Has anyone read Charles Bukowski?

"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.

Others may disagree, but his prose is considerably better than his poetry.
He seems to have a go-to move of ending a poem with "I went to the market to get beer and cigarettes and went home", which is not the most evocative way to do it lol. His poetry tends to be very dry and devoid of much imagery. It's usually some bare-bones epiphany in line form.
Women is good but his story collections are the best. I rec "The Most Beautiful Woman In Town".
