"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jarod Diamond - Just so you don't sound like a ****ing idiot whenever a half assed intelligent conversation breaks out. Though this is a big boy read you won't read this in a week.

Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill- His other book gets the fame but this is the bread and butter here. this book changed my life. But it is literally 1200 pages or so long. But it's worth the read.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand- IMHO the most influential fiction book ever written. I believe every DJ shoudl read this book as I feel that objectivism is DJism.

The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men's Style - This is the style equivalent to the DJ bible. any man who wants to look half ass presentable should own this book.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

People, I appreciate all those suggestions. But I sense a lot of resentment in many of your choices.

Manipulated man?
Venus:The Dark Side?
Explanations about how women are stupid?

Don't forget that we are all humans, hairless monkeys with no tails, playing the game of seduction and love.
There's a thin line between trying to become a better person in this terms and wanting to make people suffer. And when you cross that line that's when you become an *sshole.

manipulated man is actually a really good book. but i agree with your point in general.
 

"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.

Was going to suggest 48 Laws of Power and The Manipulated Man. Those are great.

Another book worth a look is: "Yellow Kid" Weil: The Autobiography of America's Master Swindler

So now recommending books makes one resentful?

Books are meant to educate, if someone became well-informed off of a few of them, why would you then consider that resentful?

I was pointing towards the particular choices from the start.
Of course recommending books is great.
But it stops being great when those books talk about how women are evil creatures of hell.

Lol I'm not trolling.

Maybe I'll give them an opportunity.

"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.

It sounds like these evil books are just support for Pook's view of a feminized culture that has ruined modern man.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt Edmund Morris

Reads more like a novel than a biography.

I reread this one every few years.
 

"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.

while much of Teddy was admirable, he was another Hitler in the making, at the end.

I don't know why any fiction would be on the list of "must read". Fiction is for entertainment only.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
