Hkizzle Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) So I recently became aware of this guy, Tucker Max: Like he says, he's an ahole. But he's sold millions of books, had a movie made about him and made millions for being a jerk. See from Clinton to David Letterman to Tucker Max there is no accountability anymore. It's all about who's the smartest, there's no downside to lack of integrity. Edited October 6, 2009 by a LoveShack.org Moderator
WTRanger Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 You left something out. Tucker Max can actually write and is more of a showman than an ass, ditto on Letterman and Clinton. Read his book, it's is by far one of the funniest books I have ever read. Had he not had the gift to write and tell his story, he'd just be another bragging douchebag. He's blatantly upfront about his intentions with women, so you can't do anything but respect him. Because really, you are not a jerk if you are honest about it. Besides, the girls are well aware of his intentions yet still sleep with him. To me, it's a win-win. This is the case of brutal honesty and he hides nothing. So as I said, he'd only be a jerk if he claimed to be a nice, sweet, one-girl guy then pull those antics. He doesn't. These girls know they are a booty call to him, yet the fight over who comes over to his place first. He's no saint, yet these girl's aren't exactly angels. They have this way about them that is almost comical honesty. You can't help but laugh and the girls can't help but swoon. So really, those three people probably have the MOST integrity. They do EXACTLY what they say they are going to do. You can trust them to be an ass. To base your ideals about trusting people from Clinton, Letterman, and Tucker Max is probably a fairly poor case of judgment. Its like me asking an Amish person for advice on electrical wiring or a blind guy for directions.
Chicago_Guy Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 That guy is a liar - do a search on google and you'll find websites about Tucker Max's lies. He's done a good job of feeding his own massive ego and building himself up, even though there's not much substance to him. The only women he gets are emotionally broken and he's admitted this on his website.
LucreziaBorgia Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I'm not sure what he is like personally, but the stuff he writes is pretty damned funny. In a horrible way, of course. He staged an invasion on Loveshack years ago. All hell broke loose, and it was funny for a time. Kept the mods busy tracking and deleting the blatantly fake threads. If you Google Tucker Max and Loveshack, you'll see what is left of the 'invasion' on his message board. Kind of one sided - the threads here were deleted, but you get the general idea.
carhill Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 One inference from back in 2005: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?p=628319 Anyone who suborns trolling message boards can't be the sharpest pencil in the cup, no matter how many dollar bills are stuffed in there.
northstar1 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Tucker Max is funny for a chapter or two, but the schtick gets tedious by the end of the book.

Its like me asking an Amish person for advice on electrical wiring or a blind guy for directions. My point exactly. I guess if Hitler or Genghis Khan were funny they could have gotten away with more things too.......... David Letterman has comical honesty? Did you even watch how he came out about screwing the female staffers? It was pure clear thought out manipulation.
WTRanger Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 David Letterman and Tucker Max compared to Genghis Khan and Hilter? That's about as out of the spectrum as comparing apples to hand grenades or steaming turds to diamonds. Sure Letterman manipulated the system, but not the girls. He didn't hypnotize them to sleep with him. The girls knew what they were doing. They stayed silent about this as well as him. It was just some spineless little nitwit who decided to try to blackmail Letterman. Letterman ended the situation and now that dumbass who tried to blackmail him is facing some serious jail time. The blackmailer is the one who has zero integrity and is a shady individual. He came out and diffused the situation and he cracked jokes the whole time. People talked about it for less than a day, and have since dropped it. You're the only one beating a dead horse here in order to incite another LS riot over a stupid issue.

I like to get a bit extreme to get the blood rushing.

Ok sorry, I had to pop out so didn't have time to really talk to you about this. So basically, if a guy is smart and funny then he doesn't need to be held accountable for wrong actions? Hmm, maybe that's why the world is so screwed up these days.
BobSacamento Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 People will forgive those who are likable.
Author Hkizzle Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 And the victors write the history Yeah they do. Sorry I was playing the other side. I was actually getting to the point that there is no right and wrong. It's all subjective. Sometimes, have to play the other side to get people to say the answer you want to hear, haha.
Vertex Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 He came to my uni at one point to do a book signing -- he slept with a girl who was literally one floor up and a few rooms over from me, haha. Dude's indeed a prick, but nevertheless hilarious.
johan Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 My point exactly. I guess if Hitler or Genghis Khan were funny they could have gotten away with more things too.......... True. They didn't get away with much. Too bad they weren't funny.
burning 4 revenge Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 True. They didn't get away with much. Too bad they weren't funny. :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:
Citizen Erased Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: Whoa that is a lot of laughter. Breathe!
Taramere Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Ok sorry, I had to pop out so didn't have time to really talk to you about this. So basically, if a guy is smart and funny then he doesn't need to be held accountable for wrong actions? When things are going well, probably he doesn't get held accountable. What happens, though, when a narcissistic individual is down on his luck...but can't quite break away from the sense of superiority, entitlement and the notion that that others will be forever charmed by him in spite of themselves? A drunk, smelly but reasonably articulate tramp approaches you. He announces "I just want to say that I have no sad story to relay. I spent all my cash on booze, whores and drugs. At least I'm being honest, right? Spare a fiver?" I can't be the only person who's been approached more than once by that kind of hopefully narcissistic, "bluntly honest" beggar. Nor can I be the only person whose feeling about beggars employing that style is along the lines of "spray yourself gold and stand motionless on a box in some touristy spot. It's equally pointless and lacking in originality, but at least people might feel moved to reward you for the effort you've put in."
torranceshipman Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Is this Tucker Max one of those Joe Schmoe's that have 'how to bed a chick' books and instructional dating guide stuff for sale? Is he that type of dude that knows how to get a needy insecure girl into bed for 1 night (the type who desperately needs validation so is impressed with a guy like him - a cocky walk and a flashy car)? If so I can't expect most people would need a book or 'guru' for advice on that...just be cocky and only go for insecure needy women who are desparate for any kind of validation from a guy. Avoid the classy, intelligent, confident ones because they'd never date you. Doesn't really seem like brain surgery.
