"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.

So I decided to start reading the book of Pook...

On my quest to self-improvement, I think his book will be very useful since he does not teach how to be a PUA, but how to be a Man (well I think?) Anyways while reading the whole book, I will make a brief resume of every article, and once I am all done (give me 2-3 weeks maybe) I will post it on Sosuave for all your benefit (hoping no one ever did this). So would you guys have any suggestions/request for this?
 

"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.

I've been reading it too after the recent Pook thread came up as I didn't know anything about him. He seems to have a disdainful attitude towards those that use pickup techniques like Mystery which I don't agree with. I think he's right that the game naturally comes from within when a man has been self-actualized as a testosterone-driven man. But I think there's nothing wrong with having a "bag of tricks" to use as well. In my opinion, it just gives you more options to use for a wide variety of situations. Pook's stuff is excellent so far. Hell, I almost wish I could have a shot of testosterone in my arm just to see how different I would feel. Only downside about having a high testosterone count is that in greatly increases your chances of prostate cancer down the line.

I just read it. Here are the quotes that I picked out that are meaningful to me:


Either go for MANY or go for NONE. If you go for ONE you will become an AFC.


A jerk, on the other hand, appears to have been blessed with ability to approach anyone and say just what's on his mind completely disregarding any of the repercussions. He just does it.


Men want sex. Women want relationships.


I would define failure as betraying your soul, as living someone else's dream, and having no direction in life.


You may think that there are only some women who seek male attention, the attention wh0res, while the rest are good. This is a Nice Guy illusion (just as some women want sex while others are 'good' where, in fact, they all want it ESPECIALLY the 'Nice Girls'). ALL women crave male attention. Period!


If there were any rule with women, I would say Never Bore Them. Make them laugh. Make them have fun. Heck, make them cry. Make them embarrassed. But never, NEVER bore them.


there comes a young man who has lost the girl of his dreams, who doesn't realize that it was the dream that made her divine, not her making the dream


What is on your mind?
"Ooh la la!"


Remember, what YOU feel, SHE feels.


Fun shall be the focus.

And there are vitamins you can take to protect your prostate.

Shiva, I usually recommend taking at least a month to read the Book of Pook. Unless you are in a dire situation that urgently warrants His infinite wisdom, it's best to take the time to apply his teachings and let them really soke in. It's a long book. It may take you longer than a couple weeks to come out with a good commentary.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I love Pook's content, but boy does he waffle!

I'm with DJDamage on Weapons of Mass Seduction (am wondering if his typo is a Freudian slip though. :)) Great advice!

Yeah it was . But to be fair when you start of being an AFC with no hope and out of no where you come across "Weapons of Mass Seduction" that earth shuttering info is pretty much like a nuclear explosion happening in the room.

True, Pooks ok but everthing he wants to say is bloated by 10,000% so the message is usually lost in the waffle of it all.

Theres much better and more consise tips in the DJ Bible

You should also read Senor fingers "weapons of mass destruction".

This book should be a must read for anyone that starts here.
Is this a free pdf? Where can I find it?

just do a search on pook and read.

baffling or not he was hands down the most influentional poster this forum has ever had.

He "gets it". not many do.when you are fulfilling your life, you don' tneed tricks or tactics. focus on yourself and everything will fall into place.

Him, Anti-Dump, Senor Fingers to some extent, A-Unit, rollo & the guy that actually founded this forum (i forgot his name), when they post, read and learn.
 

"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.
