"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.

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 Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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
