"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.

do a serch on him,

doesn't exacly apply to whole "pickup scene" but his threds/posts, are puirty interasting, to say the least.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

There can't be no "new Pook". Pook is an icon, your dude may write cool articles, but he ain't no Pook.

Comparing one to Pook shouldn't be taken lightly.

That being said, links/quotes would be appreciated. People are lazy, they just won't search for whatever you just talked about.

Is he D'Angelo good, Doc Love good, girlproblems.com good? please elaborate.

Actually, we don't know that. Nobody seems to know anything about Pook, except that he wrote a lot of articles.

pook is a woman hater. Read his last set of threads/posts. Pook hangs out in Divorce court all day, subjected to the missery of white trash (which obviusly had an impact on him).

Pook is not a Guru.

Nobody has witnessed his game, unlike all the other gurus.

There are nerd professors all over this country, who write these essays on the theory's of attraction....they by no means have "game"

To my knowledge all Pook is, is a great expressor of attraction theorys.

"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.

Calm down, Spider! My comment was more directed at Bill, as he said that there can't be a "new Pook."

Where did anyone mention the word "guru" while talking about Pook? I said he was an "icon", and it's what I meant to say.

Pook, whether he is one person or a couple guys writing articles, is the one user showing the way to AFCs coming to this website. Most of the insightful articles in the DJB were written by Pook, and that's something to remember. Now I don't mean to put him on a pedestal, but without Pook sosuave wouldn't be the community it is right now. That's what I meant by "there can't be a new Pook".

Pook is indeed a great writer, a knowledgeable individual, and it's even possible (however unlikely, IMO) that he has (gasp!) no game to speak of. The fact that we know so little about him/it/her makes it tough to elaborate on his experience, but he nonetheless is a guide, so to speak.

Don't get me wrong, great writers are ALWAYS welcome. I for one will be reading Mr. Tomassi material.
