just wanted to know...the first SS article i ever read was by Pook, but a long time after he left...he seemed to be an SS demi-god, so where did he go?
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
what happened to Pook?

"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.

There is already a thread on this.
However, I myself get a sense of that Pookish type of writing over at CH.

Who cares? Only you can help yourself, not Pook.

This should be in the bible.TillTheEndOfTime said:
"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.

I saw him at the mall pushing a stroller and wearing a papoose with a newborn in it. His overweight wife was 5 paces ahead of him walking into Victoria's Secret as she admonished him to wait outside. He then cried out, "Barney the purple dinosaur, I summon thee"...

What is bad about a new born and an overweight wife?
Is a miracle, especially the new born.
I wish Pook, could be among us.
and help us.

Maybe he gave all there was to give and moved on. All the jealousy towards him is amazing. At some point though you do have to go do it. My guess is he feels like he addressed all the things that needed to be addressed and moved on.

Nothing. I think it's awesome.CloudSurfer said:
"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.

The guys are just having fun being silly at Pooks expense. Most of us here respect him as a pioneer. I think very few here are actually jealous of him.coachD said:
I agree that he simply said all he had to say and outgrew this place.

Pook? The dude who went crazy over chicks? Dont EVER become the dude who over ANALyzes relationships, dating, or chicks...PERIOD.
I've never read anything Pook wrote or the DJ bible as there's posters on here who give simple common sense advice.
Live your own life. Become the best person you can be. That's it.

Totally agree. I have described Pook's writing the EXACT same way before.Darth said:
People act like he gave the best advice ever. Nonsense. I have received great advise from many other forum regulars. And I didn't have to read 3 paragraphs to find a simple, blunt point.
So yes, Pook, was a nice addition to the forum, but thank you regulars here who pushed me from being a shy guy in university who was nervous just meeting a girl to a guy who has no problem initiating sex talk with girls and turning them on from the first meeting.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

There's a lesson to be learned here.
One of the basic tenets of power and influence is to align oneself with a great man who has come before you in the mind of the listener.
By summoning Socrates and other "great" minds of the past, and also by summoning "Womankind", he created in the mind of the reader a certain alignment with and even power over these people and entities.
Instant social proof. Because his writing style was entertaining and therefore accepted by the reader, the underlying manufactured social and intellectual "proof" was also accepted.
He created in you, the reader, the subconcscious perception that he had "magical" powers and power over time and space itself. In the same way he displayed power over historical figures and womankind in general.
That, in concert with the fact that he was pioneering some new paradigms along with others and repackaging them in an entertaining way, is the source of his legendary status.
Takeaway: Verbally align yourself with a person whom your listener esteems, and you become esteemed. Effortless social proof. Apply that to game and to life.

Sooth, thy wisdom speaks of great things in your future, Mr. Filth...
Ah, I see a lot of the people may be new here or wasn't around when Pook was. You guys have to know the perspective that he is coming at and the environment at the time.
Back in the day, the common sense advice that you see now that is so common wasn't around. It was all routines, speed seduction, etc. and the like, completely different from the stuff he wrote. Pook was one of the few that spearheaded the "work on yourself and be a better person" approach, and he did so in an entertaining way (nothing wrong with that). He shifted the paradigm of the forum. He was one of the people telling everyone that getting women wasn't so complicated.
So it's easy to scoff at his stuff now after the fact and laugh at how anyone can give that kind of advice many years later when the community has caught up. Just remember it wasn't like that back then at all. Give the guy some credit. Personally, his stuff helped me a lot. He is one of Sosuave's own and helped put this site on the seduction community map... and all you guys want to do is bury him

"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.
