I'll reiterate what i said in an unreplied PM i sent you:

Who are you, personality wise?

You know that post you made years ago about "what i have learned" and revealed that you believed that women are souless subbuccus and then in the year or two later that you replied to that post your attitude seemed to change. What really caused you to believe all that and what caused you to change? Really interested.

I'm also interested in how you ended up like this... literature man who seems to have all of this insight, or can at least write well enough to feign insight.


What made pook, pook and why are you good at speeches? In inspiration?

Works Citied would be nice. Annotated bilbliographys would be murder (for you). It's not like your going to do a PhD on this :p.

And how do i spot interesting people like you :p. Sort them out from vapid people.

1. How about a more detailed explanation on the whole Apollo/Dionysis thing?

2. A bulleted brain dump on all the seduction techniques that have ever worked for you.

Pook,

I have no words to convey the deep gratitude that I have for your contributions to sosuave, so I'll just extend my hand in friendship & kinship and say thank you.

Your departure will be bittersweet.

If I were to distill what I've learned from all of your posts into a single sentence, it would read thus: "Masculinity is the expression of a man's power and strength tempered with discipline."

Be it pursuits in the realms of career, education, hobbies, or women, etc. It's all the same thing really isn't it. Going after what you want in a skilled, confident and purposeful way.

Have fun out there in all that you do brother.

Cheers,
Mav

One of those small gnats that always buzzed around me but which I never asked (and I'm sure it's been asked and I missed it) -- what is the derivation of "Pook"?

i'd love a commentarius about "evil ways"... i don't remember the author, but maybe it's the article that most impressed me, except pook's ones... but i'm not sure of its application...

and another one is a high school guide, not like the high school bible... just a long article about your thoughts on high school and what would you do if u were to come back there....

Hey pook I have a few questions and possible ideas for elaboration on some of your old posts.


1- Any tips on writing a well written post. How do you translate a good idea into a good post? Sometimes I have a good idea on what I think would make a good tip, but the idea or point I'm trying to get across gets lost when I try to put it into writing. In the spirit of keeping this site at it's best when you're gone, any advice you can offer would be cool.


2- Mabye you could elaborate a little more on AD's machine series. Example: You've gone through the tasks of asking for phone numbers and getting some- You call em up and some are available and some of them agree to dates- You get more dates from the good ones and then you end up with a girlfriend.

The girl truely digs you, but theres something that you ignored early on that becomes a big problem months or years later. I guess my question is what have you learned from doing the process of weeding women out and identifying early warning signs that could have saved you a lot of time. I guess its about trusting your gut, but you seem to have a lot of knowlege with knowing how women think, womanesse ETC.


3- On the fact that you don't like some or all of your earlier posts. I think if some guy is just starting out and finds this site, all your posts are quite fundamentally sound information that could help steer one to a better mindset.

My question- lets say that hypotheticly speaking, you had never seen this site until today yet you think as you do today. ( I realize you would probably think this site is silly and just pass it over) But say someone paid you to write an article. What would it be like?


4- Do you find girls that are a challange attractive? Last year I had my first experience with an AFC girl. Desperation in a sense from the other side. She was always available, always wanted to hang out and pushing too much for a deeper relationship. At first I thought it was great, but after a couple of months it was quite a turn off.

Its seems better to have to work some to get a girl but not to the point where its a frustrating effort. What are your thoughts on girls that you want but are hard to get?


Thanks

Yo Pook...do you think all the pook worship is counterproductive towards personal development? You said it yourself...you cringe when reading the things you wrote in the past so how is somone helping themselves when they love what you abhor? Do you think your posts are a placebo of some sort?

Concerning "kill that desperation"...i've always wondered how can one kill desperation while at the same time trying to obtain a succesful love life? Isn't desperation merely strong desire? Isn't strong desire the catalyst for effort? Isn't a relationship succesful by putting forth effort?

I guess this one mainly depends on one's own writing ability, but yeah, anything on this would be nice.

TIME. It’s our most valuable asset.

I know this is an absolute truth, as great men keep mentioning it.

I understand it, but far from fully...

Two years ago if I met some great guy on the street and he told me his secret to picking up women was to embrace my masculinity, I probably would’ve been a little more masculine in my approaches. But reading your post on masculinity was my catalyst to learn enormously on masculinity...

So now, like the masculine post, I’m looking for a post that will help me feel the full meaning of ‘time is our most valuable asset’.

I would like to see an article that discusses a "Step Zero", shaking oneself out of complacency, the chasm between learning DJ and practicing DJ, where wanting something isn't enough to actually pursue it.

Another good article would be one discussing the truly sick fears that tend to keep potential men trapped in AFC-dom.
Fear of Change - "Becoming the DJ alpha male will be hard and scary."
Fear of Success - "What am I getting myself into?"

Pook,

I wonder how much of what you've posted you've actually typed intended as DJ advice rather than just plain advice on life. Can't help find it a bit strange that the pursuit of women has been such a consistent catalyst for your discoveries.

You are the biggest existentialist I have seen, and well done. I am sure one day you will look back on who you are today (or were when you wrote the posts) and think "I can't believe I cultivated 'me' to such a degree"

Think it was Dogen who said "To study the self is to forget the self."

Oddly enough when you look at it, 'I' am not neccesarily a factor in my happiness. It's just that the alternative hardly ever occurs to anybody.

As with Steele, I would also find an essay on time interesting, as understanding time has been a recurring theme for me in daily life at various points.

Cheers and thanks for the pointers, Pook.

I just want to say THANK YOU so much.

As you are leaving, know this: you helped many people here in a way that many professionals couldn't.

Do this e-book. It will help many others.

Cheers,

Re: Topics I would like to see done by Pook

Sorry to see you go. I guess we all have to move on eventually. Your articles have helped thousands of guys.

I would like to see topics covered.

2) Flaky chicks---What if you don't want to just dump them. How do you deal with flaky chicks? How do you raise their IL? How do you deal with chicks who say they will call back but don't? How do you deal with chicks who stand you up or cancel at the last minute? What is the best way to persue these kinds of chicks?

3) S*it tests---What are the various S*it tests? How do you pass them?

To get into the archives try http://www.archives.org
Pook listen to this guy! You should write something about that!!!

Hey Pook

Everyone should do a search on themselves and see how much you've written, and how your words/posts changed since the beginning. It's interesting viewing your own evolution here.
I've done that. It's absolutely incredible and verifies that your self-improvement has been very rewarding.

Me and you had a discussion quite some time ago (I was under a different username), and I've tried to find it. Unfortunately, with the number of posts between you and me, it's damn near impossible.

We were discussing the topic of sex, the act itself and how the man should be the one leading the woman into the bedroom, not the other way around. I can't remember the complete contents of the convo, but me and you pretty much had the same ideas on the subject. Personally, I'd lke to see one of your posts that focus entirely on this subject alone.

Also, I noticed your suggestion for a financial forum in the suggestions section. I'm quite intrigued, and I'd love to see a post on the subject, even if it ends up in the "Anything Else" forum (or have you written one already?)

Ooops, just read the entire post

I think what I said was disrespectful...

Well, I would like what you have been doing in this post. What you think of your work. So we're done there.

Second, You've allready talked about opening a financial forum. A financial forum not only helps "mature" men, but also helps the minors as a guidance counselor(sp). What's my point? I want a post for all of us youngsters, and all of the youngsters to come. Your words can push us all in the right direction. How to invest our time, what, who, when, etc.

A post for the young. Though, I personally think that the essence of all your posts (and all sosuave) is letting your manly fashion take over you, and that's all to it.

Did you know I've only done four posts this entire year?
I chose a good year to go on a sosuave hiatus! :D

Oh, and third. One of those book long posts we love, about finance. Maybe in there something aimed at us, the young ones here.
