I just read the entire book cover to cover in just under a 12 hour period. I loved it until about the last 30 pages. It was ridiculously funny in that I wonder why anyone would do this, and how did this kid get so messed up kinda way. It was disturbing that it was written by a 30 some odd year old attorney. I also wanted a woman to put him in his place. I can't see why anyone would worship this guy. Strike that, I can't see why anyone of average intelligence would worship this guy. But I suppose that leaves about 50% of the population which is more than enough to make a best seller out of any ludicrous chain of stories.
I have had my fair share of debauchery. But never so blatantly and disrespectfully. I know everything this guy knows, anyone can spot the most insecure female in the club-- yes the shorter the skirt, the more inflated the boobs, the youngest and the oldest, and of course how many layers of make up are a dead give away-- but what's the point in the chase if the animal is so desperately wounded? If your only prey is already rotting dead carcass, I'm afraid you're not much of a hunter.
I have been in some screwed up situations, especially romantically. Yet and still I didn't divorce myself from my conscience. Idk, the book kind of struck a chord because I think at one extreme is the notion of the male who can take down triple digit number of women by his early 20s. But with nothing to counterbalance that, what keeps you going? And just statistically with the number of crazy women in this country he got off relatively easily in my book-- although some of the things that happened to him I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy... ok maybe I would wish it on my worst enemy.
Perhaps it was funny overall, but it was also deeply saddening. I mean I know people like this exist. Hell, I'm friends with some of them. Maybe to a lesser extent I may have even been one of them. But they at least have some redeeming qualities. The book makes a strong argument as to why one should never get drunk. I've seen my tolerance increase ten-fold over the last couple of years... but that's mostly for professional reasons.
But, that point aside, I've made women cry and I've made women cum but that was never the END goal with any, eh... I mean with most of them. (One or two fat chicks in my life did deserve to cry for their shenanigans). When did women start allowing themselves to become receptacles, and when did men become so low class that they habitually took advantage?

Some people lack respect for themselves. Some people lack the ability to respect other people.
It's not all men, and it's not all women.
@heroes_and_sociopaths@xanga - Nicely put.
i read the book, and once you get over the severe disgust and can pretend these sad, pathetic people are just characters, it gets a lot more hilarious.
it's about the depravity of society, how stupid or misguided people can really be. but at the same time, it's a book.
read and enjoy, then forget it.
basically it happened with the industrial revolution (if not earlier). also people don't really like intense relationships, as those relationships tend to make them feel guilty.
i should probably read this book, because i'd really like to express my opinion on it.
His shit is hilarious and if you think this only goes one way, you're so very wrong. There are just as many women who string along men and pull ridiculous shit while completely hammered into the twilight zone. I know a couple personally.
"If your only prey is already rotting dead carcass, I'm afraid you're not much of a hunter."
Great point.
You realize it goes both ways, right? The using the other sex part, not really the let's go pick up random ass men then never call them again thing.
Women allow themselves to become
receptacles when you make comments like "One or two FAT chicks in my life did deserve to cry for their
shenanigans."
Who can maintain any confidence when people talk like that?
Like all that matters is crying or cumming? Pleasure or pain, not the inbetween.
I kinda hate when people diss on girls for tolerating men's shitty behavior. I, as a woman, don't tolerate big things but I'm guilty of past boyfriends pulling some serious shit and letting it slide. But I think a lot of chicks tolerate bad behavior because they are (1) in love, (2) desperationfor attention from anywhere, and/or (3) think that mr schmuck is the best thing they can get so they tolerate his shit because they are practically convinced they can't do better (pretty sad.)
It's not going to be until EVERYONE WOMAN IN THE WORLD puts her foot down that men will stop being douche-bad man whores. Because if a guy is with one girl who won't tolerate his shit, he'll just move on to the next one that does. The end.
I love I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. It's only a book after all, comprised of short stories. He states consistently that most of these took place in his early 20's and looking back, no matter how funny or hysterical they were, it was also endlessly shallow.
"You work so hard not to be seen as a sex object. Before long, you're not seen at all."
birds of a feather flock together. these douche bag men are just as insecure and lonely as these insecure women that they pick up. they deserve one another. there is nothing to envy.
The book is hysterical. Personally, I hate guys like that but in reading the book, he willing paints himself as a jackass (And he IS) and makes fun of the stupid shit he does really made me laugh. The book is so wrong on so many levels and he deserves everything he gets.
Yet I still laugh. If I met that guy in person, I would want nothing to do with him. At. All.
My ex adored Tucker Max. He even started a web site trash talking all of us who ever dated him. Thankfully we live in a small town and a few girls dared to date him after that.
uh basically? this book is the bible. kthanx
THANK YOU!!!
I was wondering if the world is going mad since everyone decided to hop on the TuckerMax's bandwagon to the nearest frat party.
He is a jackass who views women as a goal to be score and it infuriates me how willingly women buy into his bullshit.
