"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.

Pook was a false prophet

We know surprisingly little about Pook. We know nothing about his background or lineage. We do not know where Pook was educated or what he has done besides incite young people to copulate early, often, and indiscriminately. Nevertheless, I can tell you all that you need to know about him.

That fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. Pook was getting away with so much for so long that he lost all sense of caution, all sense of limits. If you think about it, only a man without any sense of limits could desire to damage the self-esteem and mental health of millions of young men. Let me clue you in on a little something: he looks down upon the rest of us. From Pook's perspective, we are blind so he must tell us what to see; we are deaf so he must tell us what to hear; and we are mute so he must tell us what to say.

When Pook was still active on this board, he had only one goal: to lure the sanctimonious into his army of feckless so-called experts. He seems to think that magical forces from another plane of existence have given him superhuman wisdom. I don't doubt that he indeed believes such a thing; one can find all sorts of crazy people on the Internet. More reliable sources, however, tend to agree that life is a search for the true, the good, and the beautiful. It is not, as Pook believes, an excuse to convince impressionable young people to support his utterly salacious schemes. What he really wanted was to supplant one form of injustice with another. Pook preferred to see problems talked to death instead of solved. I really don't understand why he is still venerated as some kind of a messiah.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Pook was truthful and intelligent.
He wasn't here to discover special places to touch women to instantly make them want to fvck. He was here to discover the reality of life and sexuality.

Something a person like you probably couldn't understand unless he admitted he was wrong about at least a few things.
 

"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 OP was a troll, but such a stylish one that I think it deserved a response by Pook’s ethereal spirit.

Channelling Pook…
The purpose of this post is to tell you guys to STOP WASTING YOUR TIME in psycho-analyzing Pook. I will know Pook more than you ever will, and you cannot grasp someone based purely on their words (as the above ‘coloring’ pook always ends up wrong).

Some people think I am a buddist. Others think I am gay (!). Still, others think I hate women, others think I am just a nerd with a computer, others think I am a really old guy, and my favorite, some people think I'm secretly a woman!

It pleases me that your imagination is intact, as that is Nature’s greatest gift to us. I wish you guys would apply that imagination to yourself and remake yourselves how you see fit.

Let's just deal with the ideas presented and leave out the personalities. After all, you came here to help yourself, not to fantasize over poster. Pook cannot help you but you can help yourself. You can choose to deconstruct people (put up a strawman image you imagine and attack that) or we can get to business on discovering the secrets of women and nature.​

“This is not magical information from the sky. It is UNCOMMON common sense. Many guys here already know it, many like Peak, Anti-Dump, and others already said. I just articulate it more than others.”
My mission is to try to correct the Pook. I actually don’t care about anything else. Things that help me I put out on the table, since maybe some of you guys have the same problems I did. If the post sounds like Latin to you, then don’t consider it. We’re all here to fix ourselves. Because the focus is on ourselves.​

I don't know if he was a keyboard warrior, but I agree that some of his stuff was bullsh!t. In fact, it's clear that he was straight up just making some of it up. For example, his workout thread didn't jibe with some of the earlier stuff he had posted.

Whatever. He also had some good ideas, just like anyone else. Maybe he was a better than average poster and something of a trailblazer, I could see that. Prophet, no. As a 52 year old, I find a lot of his posts to be rather adolescent. I think the target audience for who would find his stuff most helpful would be a 17 year old male. Nothing wrong with that, though.

This.

You missed the entire purpose of Pook, OP.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I don't need to know my Math's teacher personal life to realise he was the best teacher I've ever had.

Same thing with Pook, he wasn't perfect by any means but then again, who is? I learnt a lot from him, especially about avoiding the Friendzone. His post "Ooh la la" or something like that is still one of the best posts I've ever read on here. A true legend in my eyes.

Pook talked problems to death? One of his biggest things was to tell everyone to go out into the world and find their own way. He specifically says in one of his posts that his advice is not something that would work for everyone, but that his posts were an explanation of what worked in his life

I've been on this site for a number of years and I have no real idea who pook is, have never once read anything he wrote, and nor do I give a fawk.

Which I pretty much can say about any PUA.
