I keep hearing about this Pook character and the book he wrote.

Was this guy legit or just a mix of several characters combined? How is his advice and tips any different than the dating gurus like David Deangelo, Neil Strauss, Mystery and company?

pook is a legendary philosopher in these parts.

even if he was a fraud or otherwise not real, the advice and wisdom was real.

Pook was just 1 guy. He was legendary.

Apart from his material being free, what he shared is no different in principle from other dating gurus. He has gone through similarly hard trails as the gurus have. The only real difference is in how he expresses it. Some guys look at the details of it, but the core main principles is what matters.

There's something often neglected when looking at creativity, it's not original as it always has a source of inspiration. All of what he wrote didn't just magically pop into his mind. He too had to learn, and he like the gurus learned the hard way. What they are offering is a shortcut to get you to more quickly understand without wasting as much time.

Myth or not, he certainly was a walking dream. He knows how to make dreams come true and wants yours to come true as well, but you gotta work for it as evident in his own experience.

He's respected because he worked his a55 off to earn that respect. You can tell he truly knows by how vividly he expresses his experiences in great detail, and what he learned from them. Basically he doesn't just talk a good game, he lives it because there's no way you could know what he knows without having lived it. I know because I went down the hard way as well, and it does pay off.

As for the question of several characters, it's just one person with a multi-faceted complex personality. I do imaginary role-playing as well, it helps shed light on obvious problems in social interactions. You won't understand before you break the shell and realize there's more to yourself than you think.

I understand how people can find Pook hard to understand, because it's very complex material. The foundations are very simple though, every successful person knows the recipe.

Thanks. So I can learn all his stuff in "The Book of Pook"?

The way you're talking, his book is a must read and will change my life.

No no, the book won't change your life. It will just tell you that you are the one changing your life. It just prepares you for what lies ahead. No amount of books can ever fix your problems, but the material in them might be helpful in handling them.

It does provide the best possible solutions to the most common obstacles a man bumps into, but it's way deeper than just tricks and techniques. If you ever get to a point where you truly understand you won't need books to tell you what you already know.

You can download a pdf of the book of pook just by googling it.

I believe Pook simply wrote this stuff down on the forums back in the day just for himself, and eventually it became conglomerated into a kind of dating bible. Its about inner game mostly and seriously is a must read. I'm only part way through yet, but it really does get at the AFC in you :yes:

im reading pooks book now but does anyone actually know what happened to pook, he was a true AFC, a true nice guy and turned his life around, i read that after reaching the top, becoming the best dj he can, he changed

he started to hate the dj way and denounced the dj bible and grew a hatred toward women, why is this?

i heard he started the mgtow following because of his hatred towards women before he disappeared

how did he go from being a dj god, to hating a dj and what they stand for and turning to misgyny?

this seems worrisome, did his AFC and nice guy syndrome win in the end? Did he just return to his old ways after all that hard work?

From what I understand, guys like pook and other "top of the top" pick up artists typically have a breakdown a some point because they come to find out the true nature of women through all the experience and knowledge they gain from doing what they do best. They reach the bottom of the rabbit hole and exit with great fear and disbelief, and from that point forward they typically do what u explained above, go all mgtow, and the want nothing to do with women from that point forward and just work on improving themselves and enjoying their own lives in their own unique way, no longer having to deal with the drama and craziness that are women.

I have recently somewhat discovered this for myself, but for some reason I like the companionship of women.i am no Don Juan by any means, I am learning so much on this form every week, but I have gone through some serious stuff with my ex that opened my eyes. However, I have taken the red pill and am very careful and pick and choose at my liking. You can't get perfect women all the time, but u can handle each one accordingly. If u get a crazy one, they are awesome in bed, but u know its only short term and they know too, u get in and out. Hell, I have even had some come over and rub my back while I go to sleep, lol, and they are fine with it. U just have to know how to handle each individual woman and know when to stop before the craziness comes out. U have to be a man and handle them like the women they are.

Actually they get married and have a kid.

He found out that he was attracting what he hated most: PUA's magnetically attract garbage quality women. The secret is to know the difference but not to indulge in their game and find a good quality woman to settle down with. It's not rocket science.

This is very true. We all automatically seem to pull crazies, slVts and insecure types. Which is cool, they're fully functional after all.

Print out the pook and antidump material, then leave the forums.

I think the best part about the pook stuff is that it's very much focused on YOU. I forget which post in particular but there's one that basically says be passionate about things in your life and don't walk on eggshells. That is almost all you need to know.

As for PUAs attracting garbage women: that's why you don't become a PUA. Become what YOU want to be. If you want to have long term relationships with quirky indie types that read the same weird books as you then you should be going to poetry readings, not clubs. If you want to bang club chicks then go to clubs. Neither way of doing things is wrong. It's your call.

I recall reading some of his posts and he said something once about wanting to get married and having a LTR with kids and everything but that he can't because he knows exactly how they all are. And that when knowing that knowledge, you can control any woman into doing anything you want. Or at least something to that effect anyway. That basically means that no woman can ever be completely faithful.

What I don't fully understand is that when having that kind of power, why couldn't you just use it to keep them faithful, to always think of you and you only? Yet also do so in such a way that she is still able to do her duties. Why couldn't you be able to do that?

Because it's bullsh!t. No one has superpowers that allow them to fully control everyone of the opposite sex. If you make that your goal you're going to be disappointed. Pook has been known to exaggerate things to make a point, if not outright lie.

That isn't what I meant though. I meant that having that knowledge lets you know exactly how to deal with women, knowing what to do to get what you want simply because you know almost exactly how they will react to your every move.

A Pook was a Pook. Wasn't that the first thing he taught us?
