"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.

Well, I'm mostly just a DJB-reader as opposed to an active participant in these forums, so I might be a bit off track here, but is it legitamate to ask where the hell is Pook?

The reason I'm asking is that I was searching through the old Pook posts and came across a thread that mentioned he would collect his stuff into an ebook and was taking suggestions. The thread was locked, the administrator said that it would be opened again when he came back. The reason I was searching through his posts was that I was collecting all his stuff to make an ebook myself, simply because I wanted to read it all (again and again).

So is he gone? If he isn't, if you are reading this Pook, then where is your ebook because it would save me the trouble, dammit.:mad:
 

"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.

It's not his blog, he said on one of his posts: just a guy whose ideas are almost always spot on with his own. Why he put it as his homepage I dunno, I guess he doesn't mind confusing people...

Still don't understand whats so great about the guy. All he was able to do was write well and make already known information more fun to read. THe information is great, but its not like he was the originator of it all.

It's not entirely about great, it is the reputation that he carries. BECAUSE he was able to create awesome threads and brighten up your day, because everyone can relate to one of his posts and because he is in the bible is why he has the reputation that assumes great knowledge.

As a semi-unrelated analogy, think of religion. It's shoved down the throats of millions of people, and they believe it because it's glorified. Because it is glorified, people believe it more, and follow the same path.

Completely unrelated analogy, but you understand yes?

Pook is LONG gone. Good luck on that Pook Compilation of yours.

Make sure you give a link to it when you are done.

Whyshy, the link doesn't seem to work :(

And Docs man, I get what you're saying but I honestly think he describes the material a lot better than anyone else - and pretty much everything he says I connect with.

I'm really not just loving him because he's glorified - really :p
