"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.

As POF is mostly about looks...

If POOK had a profile on POF, how do you think he'd fare? Do you think he'd be able to game loads of online chicks? Hmmmm..
 

"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.

Some of y'all think Pook is some type of God or something. He is just a brother with some tight game.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Will Pook ever come back that sun of a gun? I don't even know him but I feel like I do!

Pook just sold a screenplay. At least that is what is all over the net on some industry websites.

Learned so much about changing my life from Pooks threads. Truly learned what's important and how to feel genuinely confident.
 

"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.

I HATE misleading post titles.

Ninja, you looking for attention?

Pook is the one who taught it all to me, but, meh... PUA theory really isn't all that complicated. I only discovered Pook and his book about a month ago and I already feel like an expert on this stuff. Even right now, I feel like I could write a "textbook PUA theory for dummies" manual just as well as he did (or a collection of posts or whatever it was). In fact, a better one, since it wouldn't have his GOD-AWFUL literary style.

I disagree sighsigh. Pook's posts were quite entertaining and clearly not to be taken too seriously, just as PUA theory should not be taken too seriously...just like women should not be taken too seriously.

There is good wisdom found in them, take it for what it is worth and scrap the rest I say.

“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.

Please don't. You're 20 years old. You can't even legally drink (in the US). You'll learn far more if you realize that you know utterly nothing about life or about women.

You've had the rules explained to you. That's all. It's as if somebody told you the rules of tennis yesterday and you thought you could go out and beat Nadal or Federer tomorrow.

Don't fall into that trap. Read more, practice, and don't give advice except to people at least 5 years younger than yourself.
