Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Ok so everyone here knows of this person pook, but who is he really? This person was all over these forums a few years back then all of a sudden he dropped off the face of the world! Why I do so wonder! Does anyone here have any info on this person? What if pook is a chick!? What if he was a gay dude into pick up!!? This guy, or girl was really smart and helped a lot of people, but who is he?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

He's given descriptions and I doubt he's gay.

Also, it doesn't matter who he is. He liked to stay anonymous, he did more philosophy than anything.
 

"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.

Pook is a Legend. And he is also known as the greatest SoSuaver of all time. He doesn't stay in one place for a long time.

And actually, Pook is still here.

Oh I'm sure pook is still on here, just goes under a different name. I've read most of the book of pook, the man is definately great and knows what he's talking about. His book really helped me see things from a different perspective, may sound cliche but it impacted my life alot more than i could have expected.

No cliche. I remember the night when I first read most of his stuff. Back then I was a miserable AFC, who thought that getting no girl was the worst thing that could happen to you in this world. It was a life changing moment for me. So radical, so unheard-of...

Well, I know better know. I still got no girl. But that is due to the fact that there are things much, much worse than being a virgin.

Anyway, none of them will hold me back any longer. I'm tired of making excuses.

If you read this: Thanks a lot, Pook.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

So you mean Pook is like taking a homeless guy sleeping on a subway bench and showing him pictures of jews being exterminated in the holocaust to make him feel better about himself?

i know everyone fantasize about him and regard him as god, but no disrespect i think its all full of sh!t. who cares who he is, he's a human being like all of us. whats the idea of idolizing him, like if we pray to him, our game is gona get better. the only thing that matters is, did he help u get laid, and if he did, good. personally, he had some good points but i also think he was full of sh!t. but hey i know hes a player (if he really is who sounds like the one from book of pook). he just wasnt great teacher to me.

I think the whole idea behind Pook is that it's not about "getting laid"- it's about becoming a real man and having respect for yourself. That is one of the reasons why his posts have endured and continue to be inspiring and motivational to young people. There's something about his better posts that just strike a chord...when you read it, you immediately realize that it's true. Hard to explain....

If u did i would totally go, at least for a few times.

What i like about reading that is that it isn't about just getting chicks, its about you coming to terms with yourself, seeing your flaws through fictional(and over-the-top) characters. It has made me take a look at myself and i understood then that the biggest thing working against an amatuer like myself is my own self.

If i could say one thing to pook, I would have to say thanks, that and why the hell doesn't he get that thing published lol
 

"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.

Lol from Urban Dictionary:

Pook

"A mysterious former Legendary DJ on the forums of Sosuave.com. He was highly regarded as one of the greatest DJ's who have ever lived. He was the essence of all that DJism stood for--getting women to like men. His advice, posts and contributions are the best by any single person, bar none. He started from the depths of AFCism and reached the pinnacle on DJism. He was hailed as a hero, crusading through women, a true champion. Then something happened, he started "changing". After he made it to the top he looked down at the "DJ way" what it stood for, what its aims were, so he denounced the DJ Bible and became completely disillusioned with women. Pook was then accused of Blasphemy, Misogyny and a few other charges. But in reality he just saw the "dating game" for what it was and most women for who they were. He then left Sosuave and disappeared off the map.

He has never been seen again."

He came, left his legacy, and disappeared. So that he might become immortalized in pickup mythology. As a legend. To inspire countless generations after him and give us timeless wisdom to soak up and a model to aspire to.

Actually, he's probably just off somewhere enjoying his life. I doubt he had anything else to gain from being here, so I'm sure he left. Ideally, that's what we're all supposed to do eventually.
