"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.

I think I found Pook on another site...

Ok so I was reading his thread "W0manese" last week. Somebody mentioned that the word W0manese was censored here because it's a business or something. So I googled W0manese to see if it was a business or not.

Anyway, the first result that came up on google was this:
http://www.majorwager.com/forums/139476-post1.html

If you compare that OP to Pook's W0manese, it's almost identical.

I figured it was just some guy who reposted the thread (Pook's W0manese thread was written in 2000 while this one is written in 2004).

BUT

As I read that thread more, I realized that the Rich H person is actually Pook. How?

Well lot of his replies in that thread are very Pook-ish and don't sound like some guy who stole Pook's thread and reposted it. For example, if I were to "steal" one of Rollo's thread and repost it on another site. But if I were to reply to people's questions on there, I wouldn't sound very "Rollo" like since me and Rollo have very different writing styles AND very different perspective on dynamics of dating. Understand what I mean?

Plus, here in this thread (scroll down a bit) you can read more of replies posted by Rich H and they also sound very Pook-ish:
http://www.majorwager.com/forums/mess-hall/28174-96-women-liars-honest-2.html

Unfortunately the Rich H person hasn't been around since 2004. But I searched more posts by him and it's actually interesting to get a feel for what this guy, who more than likely is Pook, is like in real life.

VERY interesting. It's hard to view his profile on there because the forum has some sort of glitch where it adds a period after the username rendering it impossible to look up the original profile. I'm thinking you may be able to register or do an advanced search and dig up his thread history.
 

"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.

It’s not you it’s me.
Translation: it’s you, no amount of begging will help here.

Can we just cuddle tonight.
Translation: she wants more romance.

Can I come up for a bit.
Translation: we desire to spend the night.

Can I buy you a drink
Translation: I am lonely and horny.

We’re soul mates
Translation: I want sex then a ring.

I never felt this way before
Translation: here we go again or person has not dated much.

I’ll call you
Translation: thanks for your time….. NEXT.

DOES THIS DRESS MAKE ME LOOK FAT
Translation: does he really love me for me. Be careful guys too much honesty suffocates a love thang.

Independent.
Translation: I have not been in love in a long time.

A few extra pounds or curvy
Translation: call Jenny Graig or Richard Simmons. Bring back low Carb foods.

You're a great guy
Translation-no more sex for you, I found a keeper

I am kinda busy next week
Trans-U aint a keeper and I got a few more dates lined up

I am kinda tired
Translation-tired of you, you no longer facinate me

Translation-nice guy please don't call me I aint really interested

Translation-my future boyfriend/lover

Translation-no longer excite me enough to put in any effort.
 

"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 lost my trust-goggles. So I'm afraid I can't trust you on that one. :rock:

Pook was never into gambling, and certainly not into watching sports. Plus the style and the manner of communication is completely different.

This is the best one,...

I think of you as a brother.
Translation: I'd consider sex with you to be incest.

I did some digging around of my own, and found that the Book of Pook has been translated into AT LEAST French, and German.

I always thought Doc Love coined the phrase woman-ese which is why it's blocked. Does he have the term trademarked or something? He wrote about it all the time.
