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 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.
what happened to Pook?

"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.

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

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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.

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.
"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.

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

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