"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"Pook" on the radio? Real, fake, or is it my imagination?

Two weeks ago, I got up early on a Saturday morning and was driving over to the gym for a quick run before I started out my day.

I was listening to one of the Top40 radio stations and a woman called in to give a shout out to a guy named "Pook". To sum up what she said:

1) He cold approached her in a club.
2) Introduced himself and said that he went by the nickname "Pook"
3) Got her # (and she got his).

She says that she lost it...and was so intrigued by the guy that she had to call in the radio station to ask for help in locating this guy.

Now I don't know whether or not this guy is "THE" Pook that we know of, but I just don't think there are going to be many guys who go into a club, introduce themselves by the name of "Pook," and successfully cold-approaches a girl and gets her IL high enough for her to call a radio station to find him.

There is one info that she left that may confirm that it is him. She said that she is in Atlanta, Georgia. Does anyone know if Pook lives there? Maybe he was just visiting the area...but who knows, I'm curious and I gotta find out if anyone knows.
 

"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.

It appears that she isn't the only one who has a crush on Pook. ;)

Pook has become the John Galt of the world of pickup.

"Who is Pook?"

Oh man, not only do we have a new thread about him every 5mins, now he also haunts us on the radio :eek:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
I doubt the "Pook" on this forum is the first person EVER to use the nickname.

I wouldn't read too much into it. Last I heard from "Pook" he wasn't still running around practicing PU. Rather he had gone batsh!t insane from thinking too much. :p

"Pook" is more common than you may ordinarily assume. If you type "Pook" into google, you are greeted with 5.97 million hits. According to Urban Dictionary, "Pookie" is "A term of endearment used for a loved one. Often used when one is aroused sexually." Since he obviously borrowed his nickname from a common sexual term, it's not surprising a pickup artist in Atlanta would do the same.
