"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 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.

If by advice you mean "life-changing essays", then Pook's your man. The man will not do your homework, but he will put you on the right track.

When it comes to fixing your inner-game Pook is your man, no doubt. His "articles" are profound and some are truly masterful. Classics!

WOMS is also great reading! When I first started reading it, i couldn't put it away. I printed it all out and read it from start to end. Amazing stuff!

And when the sexual frustration hits you at it's worst, there is nothing better to read than the Gunwitch method. Pure persistence! Make the ho say no ;)

I couldn't decide between Sr. Fingers and Anti-Dump - I picked Sr. Fingers, because he got me started. Anti-Dump I didn't even learn to appreciate until I realized I was having trouble finding quality women.

Once you get to a point where you are competent with your skills, you can follow anti-dump to weed out the disinterested, gold diggers, cheaters, sluts, etc. After thinking about it, I should have picked him. Sr. Fingers compiles advice well - but Anti-Dumps advice is truly unique.
 

"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.

I love Pook's content, but hate his longwinded and patronising delivery. It puts me off reading his posts sometimes.

They've all given good advice but I actually got some with Gunwitch's method once so I'm picking him, even though I haven't used it in a while (as in my c*ck)

bleeeih pook writes 5234114141241241 pages just to make a one ****ing single point.

IMO, he's overrated and most of the **** he's been writing is pure mental mastrubation.
 

"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.

MotU and Matt ala Casanova were great posters when I first started reading here. I don't know where they went or what happened, but for me, they were better than anybody above except Fingers.
