"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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'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.

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

"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.

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.

I HATE misleading post titles.

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.

meh... Pook was a KBJ. Great ideas but didn't have the success ya'll think he did.
 

"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.

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.
