"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.

All my opinion, I reasoned this for myself but may be some guys find it helpful so I wrote it up.


Why Pook is not coming back:

At least the Pook you knew in the posts here

It is simple:

the key to this site is to get to the level where you leave it
that level is knowing who you are, and being your TRUE self
then you place other things in boxes - career, girl, friends, hobbies
once you do there is no need really to discuss anything else, you just live


People write to put their thoughts down and see the chain of thinking, to notice errors in logic and see what emotions are driving your thoughts.

He always said he wrote for himself.

He did the things above and it was time to move on

With his new blog he was focusing on what was really destroying America (and now the world more and more each day) and that is women not being comfortable with being women.

That's why he attacked feminism so hard in his blog


Unless he figured THAT out (and he would show us (himself) what it is) and moved on three things are possible:

1. Something in his life prevented him from computer access
2. He realized he couldn't win - doubtful, this war will be won because people want to be real and accepted at their core
3. He decided that it's time to move to another medium where he can gain in other ways - financially for example, via books


writers write for therapy, if it was #3 he would give a sign, so I think it's #1



I hope he is alive and well, but I think there is a reason why he isn't updating his blog, and that reason could be a really bad one.


People come back to this site when they are having problems with women in their lives, that's the ultimate truth, guys who "teach" others here for years are egocentric, there are always new members who will need to figure all the things above out, and you can't physically teach them, because eventually you die of old age.

Best thing you can do is post your stuff, hope it helps and hope the message spreads. THen you go and live your life - repeating yourself over and over is exhausting and arguing is worse, and we all know how many arguments people have here - a huge sign that people aren't being 100% honest and real, or those arguments would end with a compromise.

But via new blood they will never end, so you are wasting your own life sticking around imo.

If Pook comes back here, he won't be the same guy who left, and his advice neither, so take what you can from his posts when he "got it", but understand who you are and read them then once again, then see it through your new perspective take what you need and go live.

Just like he hopefully is.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

who is pook?

why should you rely on what some other guy tells you to do or think?

be your own man and get experience on your own

that is the best way you can go....dont be a robot.....be a man

You are trying too hard, and it shows. I support my worldview which should be THE ULTIMATE world view for connecting with people with what he wrote, because he was on the same level. This lets me know two things, one is that there are people who think like me (actually everyone in their core is like this, but some are too clouded by media/society/past painful (repressed) experiences to be genuine all the time. Two, that I gotta get out of here.
wtf? trying hard for what? Then you recite what some guy says like a robot.

Ace, 99 posts, and never heard of Pook..

Research before you waste bandwidth.
Who is he? Never seen him post on here before....I haven't heard of him. That's why I asked who he is. Why should I do research? I don't care. just wanted to know why Amazing wrote a big thread about a guy I never heard of. you wasted it with your post.

I have no idea why Pook left. As you say, he always said he wrote for himself so maybe he worked out whatever he wanted to work out so he left.

Regarding your reason #1, I knew this guy on another message board. Similarly to Pook, he was a hugely popular poster and leader on there. At one point he visited an underdeveloped country that provided a very simple life - no internet, no computers. He was so taken with it and that lifestyle he moved there and abandoned the message boards. Something like that could have happened with Pook, slim chance but you never know. Maybe he joined a monastary or something like that.

Ace, if you read the DJ Bible, Pook's name comes up quite a bit. In fact, he wrote a good deal of it.
 

"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.

Maybe Pook had better things to do than post on an internet forum. Or maybe he's dead. Does it matter? Some of his posts are nice to read and they're still there, that's enough for me. I don't care about Pook as a person, because I have no idea who he is.

I read all of Pook's writings, and he summarized all of Anti-Dump's writings - it was some of the best stuff on the forum. For those who don't know who Pook is, do your homework.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Ace you are here on this forum to better yourself right? Maybe you are already better and you are here to help others. Anyway, if many people here speak highly of him it's not without a reason. So, you should just read the Book of Pook and afterwards you can form an opinion but do read it with an open mind. Personally, after reading the book I measured it against what I've known so far and it gave me a different perspective on this whole DJ thing. A good perspective at that. Also, the book is written in a very interesting way. Trust me you will like it. Anyway, scroll to the bottom of this screen you are on and click on the DJ Bible and then the Book of Pook.

Amazing did you say Pook has a new Blog? can you pls post a link or PM me Thanks. I think if Pook is well and healthy he would be relevant to this forum as a mod or just to help out newbies. The fact that he even inspired people like Rollo says something about him.

Pook started getting "dark" towards the end of his writings. I think he finally realized the ugly truth. Perhaps he got depressed, and committed suicide.

This isn't me trolling, it's just kind of an opinion of mine. Because I've pondered the same thing.

Either that, or maybe he settled down and got married.

Morpheus : When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of us, taught us the truth
 

"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.

Suicide I don't totally believe, because when you are at this state you LOVE life. But he was getting darker agreed on that, but that's a far step from suicide unless something dramatic happened, even then we'd see some response on the blog, may be some angst filled post

Same for marriage but in reverse, I think there would be a sign.

He just cut it, in the middle, without explanation..

Plus he was working in a meat factory at some point, to give you an idea of what kind of guy he was.

Lol,"Plus he was working in a meat factory at some point" and the mystery of the Pook keeps unravelling. Amazing why did you make that point about the meat factory? What's does that say of Pook?

Do you have any sources of this? Not that I don't believe you.. I just don't remember hearing about this or reading about it in any of his writings?

If it's true...

Well to be honest, I think working in a meat factory is kind of a sh!tty job. It might pay decent, but I'm sure you come home smelly, do the same thing like a robot every single day, it would just get boring and tiring, and just sounds sh!tty.

You'd think he'd be more like Str8up career-wise at least for someone to "love life" that much..

Then again, he didn't really talk too much about careers. More about building self-esteem, confidence, loving life, and just being happy with yourself in order to get the girl.

Maybe it was a facade. I mean, how many times can you repeat yourself before you start believing it. Perhaps he was more insecure than any of us. A keyboard jockey if you will.

Not saying that we still can't learn from his writings.. they actually are really great.

But back to the suicide theory... you can have all the money you want, cars, house, toys, and even banging woman consistently... but for some men.. it doesn't make them happy. Love is what they want. A true, faithful, and unconditional lover. Once you realize the reality that is the "matrix" it actually is truly depressing.

Just my two cents.

Since we're gossiping with speculation, let me throw one out there:

Maybe Pook got so fed up with women that he turned to little girls. Maybe he doesn't have access to a computer because he's in jail or is banned from owning a personal computer with internet access for abusing children or being in posession of child pornography.

Hey, all of these possibilities are equally likely since we don't really know the man and definitely have no idea what happened to him.
 

"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.
