"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
The Author Who Was The Biggest Influence On The Manosphere

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Pook was brilliant- althought the formatting of his book (whoever put it together) was horrible. I didn't even make it to the end because of that.
Disagree he is the most influential.
I personally think Rollo and 'The Rational Male' is.

Assanova. He wasn't very well known like Rollo or Roosh, and quit blogging. But someone saved the bulk of his stuff online. I really liked his writing style too.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Rollo's style resonates most with me (starting from the title of the blog and books). I have read much more of his material so he is by far the most influential to me personally.
Rollo doesn't sugar coat the (red) pill by any means, but he manages to cover controversial topics with respect even if he may not have the funniest take on those topics.
For example, how many of the high profile authors have the respect that Rollo has for those betas that simply believed what everyone had told them so far? I think Rollo is possibly the most influential and to that end it helps that he seems to have as a goal to help others unplug with his writing. His writing probably saved more lives than other manosphere authors.
Pook has some funny and insightful stuff from what I read, and possibly is more influential if only because he had an early start (to some extent he probably influenced Rollo and the other high profile authors, which counts for something I suppose). I want to read the full book of Pook.
I've read a bit of Roissy when Rollo links to him, Roissy seems to be very smart and he cracks me up laughing regularly, but I'm uncomfortable with the way he presents some topics.

Roissy is my favorite for casual manosphere reading. Rollo is a bit too serious for my taste. And I like Roissy's political incorrectness.
Still Pook is enlightening and inspiring because of his exaggerated delivery, which is really quite epic. Roissy/Rollo are of course more relevant to today's times, but Pook is still timeless.
Also, Pook really laid the foundations IMO, seeing as his whole focus was on inner game anyways.
