"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 am so very glad I read this!

Pook, great post... it's about time there was some good new material posted.

TO MANHOOD!

"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.

Thanks Pook! I can honestly say I get more from your posts than is even possible for me to describe. As another DJ said, you should write a book.

Pook, I expected nothing less than a perfect post from you and you once again succeeded in writing one of the most compelling articles I have ever had the opportunity to gaze upon. You truly are what most aspiring DJ's are striving to become, a true Man.

I have read almost every post on this site, and this post is by far your best accomplishment. It takes the best out of each of your previous posts and develops them into a single superior work of art. I commend and thank you for all the work you have put forth into making the rest of us see the manner in which you view life. Truly incredible.

Bravo, Pook!

This is a worthy sequel to your legendary 'be a Man!" post.

As always, you have reminded us of what it truly means to be a man.

If I was 21, I'd buy you a beer because of this post.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Pook, friend. That post was gold. Seriously though, I have to agree with what everybody is saying: you have the kind of quality, structure and substance to your writing that would be required to write a GREAT book. Not just some half-assed sissy book but a real book. A multi-million selling one.

You DESERVE your title as the master Don Juan. Seriously. I've read great pieces from many great authors.... none compare. You're in a league of your own. I can imagine you could pull any chick simply with your writing tallent


Thank you for your motivation. And I know you've been around lately. I hope you're reading.

You are an excellent writer. The context and content of this post were both brilliant.

"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.
