"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The calibre of discussion there is pretty much the same as here. Devolved into nitpicking/flaming/divergent argument. Just slightly better prose..

Was the response really interesting? What part?
Maybe the part where they seem to reach a consensus on 1) Pook being an idiot and 2) Pook writing for other idiots on this site? /facepalm

They don't seem all that bright to me. Maybe try a better free-thinking forum?

I haven't read the post here, but in the book of pook, So i haven't read the comments on the text posted here at sousave. I thought it was interesting hearing other peoples interpretation of the text, which as said was a new experience for me.

That "Fountain of Youth" post of Pook's didn't really resonate with me. I wasn't raised around many other children, so I was painfully shy as a kid. I had to learn to be social with my peers, it took me years to get comfortable with it. So there was never a time when I was a "Don Juan of the sandbox" or whatever he calls it. But as with many of Pook's posts, if it works for you great, if not, move on. I could see that it could hold true for a lot of guys, it simply doesn't apply to me.

The one thing I could take out of it is not to let your hormones get in the way, I guess. But that's just common sense.
