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?
"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.
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.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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:
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.

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

Personally, I like his writings and go back to it occasionally.
"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.
