"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.

About Pook, let me tell you this. There is a lot to take from Pook's posts, but if you're like me, you won't really understand them until you've been around for a long time. I read all of his popular posts when they were first big, but after going back over some of the classics on the board I started to pick things up that I hadn't thought about before, and they were often the main ideas.

There is a lot of knowledge on the board other than Pook's stuff, and just because he's intellectually way up there doesn't mean he's the only one who knows what he's talking about.
Nocturnal, who do you think are good posters on the board aside Pook and why?

Thanks in advance
 

"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.

I would say don't always go by the quality of the poster, but go by the quality of the post.

This is a great place to start:

Some people can have dozens of awesome posts, but there can be one little guy with no credibility who finally understands things, then writes a post full of wisdom that puts some of the better posts to shame.

But in general, read the posts recommended by the bible and the ones on the page I gave you, and you'll start to see who is credible.
