"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
