Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Neandrothol Supersoldier was great!

I dont like pook because his posts spend more words seducing than they do teaching men to seduce. Reading his (over simplified and incredibly fanciful) posts give you the same warm fuzzy feeling that actually approaching a beautiful, intelligent, fun woman should. He is the ultimate armchair seducer - finding new, intriguing ways to say the few simple principals this site is based on - replacing the despiration most afc's need to make that first cold approach with complacancy. He is too good a writer to be entrusted with the responsibility his name carries around these forums.
 

"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.

Pook and Deagleclaw were two posters who pretty consistently provided posts that were both mature and seriously thought inducing. Since those are my favorite kinds of posts, they have always been two of my favorites.

Although Neanderthal Supersoldier and I came to be quite friendly both here and away from the forums, and he had his share of good posts, I'm surprised he has gotten as much mention as he has. He spent more time in flame wars and wreaking havoc in the chat room than posting advice...lol. He was a real stinker, albeit a very likeable stinker. :D

"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.

"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.

I agree with you. It is too bad the majority of AFC rather have that quick temporary surge of (inspiration??) than do what is really necessary.

Have you notice that most of the Pook praiser are still on this site (b/c they are still an AFC?) while the people that dismiss Pook are gone (b/c they have become a true Don Juan?) .

My favorite poster is Senor Fingers.

"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.

Yeah, these 3 are also some of the top posters around. Guys who really have experienced life and see the truth of the situation.

Haha! I should point out that most of the valuable insights I got from him were from discussions away from the forums. When it came to discussion of the actual topics (as rare as that was) he had really good stuff to say.

Actually they just get bored and leave. But I guess we all have are opinions even if they're wrong.

I talked to TonytheTigerOI about the idea behind Pook and we came to this conclusion(I think.)

Pook was an author or aspiring author who practiced writing stories on this site. He tended to repeat some of these ideas, but presented in new forms. He was a REALLY good writer and did help many. You can call his writing's fluff or to seduce men online to become his follower. But I know it's helped me and I plan on leaving this site this summer.

The reason most people leave is because they're bored or finally are happy with themselves.
