"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

What is up with the Pook haters??! Love him or hate him, It is your own choice to read his articles. If you don't like him then don't read or better yet come up with some good sh1t yourself and make everyone here better.

If you do love him then I hope you are using his information to some good use and you are improving yourself. If you are not improving yourself then the articles are useless to you and you are essentially a reading it like a woman who reads Danielle Steel novel before going to bed.

You are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
 

"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.

Probably he´s using the principle of scarcity, intentionally or not.

We all know it´s more valuable when it´s scarce.

Wow, what a impact, Pooky. We're still replying about the legacy you left behind.

Pook is the Jimmy Hoffa of sosuave.com... maybe he decided to lead a life of internet abstinance... maybe the femi nazi's got to him... I guess we'll never never for sure if he doesn't respond...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Well Pook has not posted in 3 months. He has not answered the requests in this thread either. I'm going to close this thread until he PM's me about it.
