Are you a man? Or a male?

[slikkmeister Banned Find all posts View Profile Close slikkmeister]

So, I'm kind of disgruntled after reading so many of these post on here about how my wife/gf left me. Am I good enough... I need to win her back, blah, blah, blah... First I'd like to say this is for men only... Or should I say males to read. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but ladies if you do read this, please remember that I am asking you not to read this in the first place. This is for all you guys who don't know what happened to your girl, or you just can't seem to get one or meet one etc. I didn't write this! It's a collection of posts from an online forum I came across 2 years ago. It changed my life... I hope it changes yours too!!!

The Book of Pook

It will fall on deaf ears.

Prepare to be attacked.

Yea I know, but if it helps one of those dummies stop putting women on a pedastal and regaining their self respect, it was worth it! I'm already getting slammed by the feminist supporters in another forum. I really wish they would read the pookster, it might make them find their balls again!

You know, after reading some reviews for the book, I've decided to add it to my bookmarks. Thanks. I hope it will be a good read.

I downloaded that book about a year ago in a massive PUA collection from a torrent site. It was ok, but like a lot of other PUA books written by young single never married guys who consider themselves experts, it was misogynistic and crappy. You'd find better information from the other side reading books on starting over after divorce.

The pain is because of attachment like buddha said, so you got the answer why some minds trying to fight the way back for broken love or "win" someone which is just misinterpreted perspective of reality.

Mostly man would say "Oh I doing this for her, to make her feel good" etc. no, you are making your "try-to-win her heart" run just for you because love is like drug and poison, it's not really love, just hormone stimulus that make you feel good for quite a while. Pay attention you don't need any book for this to recognize, just see what you are doing before doing it. (No problem with reading or having book also)


No-me-no-problem.

Thanks for posting that slikkmeister. I'd never heard of it before, but I downloaded it and plan to read it soon.

I suppose whether or not someone likes it depends on what they're looking for. I'm not a pickup artist, and I have no intention of becoming one. I've always been more of the relationship type, and I am genuinely happy that way. However, that doesn't mean that I can't learn anything from a book written by a pickup artist.

A PUA is just a dog chasing after cars. He wouldn't know what to do with one if he caught her, because the fun for him is all in the chase.

Much of the "manoshprere" has nothing to do with PUA. People should seperate the two. Some of the PUA community has concerned themselves with becoming men, many haven't.

DeAngelo is a beta IMO but at least is interested in men being better, he has nothing to do with PUA except some PUAs have gravitated to him for betterment And he has interviewed PUAs

as far as divorce the statistics are worse for divorcees, if you don't change you, how you think about yourself, how you think about women, how you hold the frame for the relationship, etc you're going to get the same result as the first time around.

I agree about the stuff being written by young men who have never been married. That being said a lot of good info is coming out of the community. Take it both a grain of salt, understand the authors bias, and learn what you can.

We live in a strange culture and society where being a man is often frowned upon. We live in a culture that promotes weak, needy males as the ideal. Just look at TV, 90% of TV has fat, sloppy guys as the star.
We also live in a society where father figures or other powerful male role models aren't always available. Much of the time, the child grows up without a father at all.
Then you factor in the regular disfunctions of school life, family life, work, etc, and you get some really confused guys who don't know how to attract women.

I haven't read through this book yet, but if it helps to look at your programming and sort through your bullshit, then it's a good book.

You're right if it was 1999, much of the community has moved way on since then. Of course this site is so anti PUA nothing will convince the regulars here that the blog post they skimmed ten years ago abut PUA isn't the current reality.

Many of the married men on this site will say very simple advice:
Just be yourself!
Be nice to her!
What they mean by that, and how it's interpreted are WORLDS apart. Through my own PUA rabbit-hole journey, I've learned that attracting women *IS* all about being yourself. But who is my self? Pulling that out of me and being brave enough to let it shine through, even to the discomfort and displeasure of those around me, is what I need to do.

What makes you think I'm not up to date on the current PUA theory? What makes you think I'm not a PUA myself?
