Jannah Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 :oOMG the brother from " Bring it on " is in the movie. I him! :lmao:
O'Malley Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 We've all encountered the loudmouth, alcoholic, aging frat type -- usually with a coterie of buddies who he needs to validate his insults and lame behavior. This one's stories are mostly manufactured. I'm not really surprised that some men and women actually like guys like this. In a twisted, perverse sense, they tend to view themselves as being more 'select' by this type of guy noticing them, or they're attempting to prove to themselves that they're cool enough to regard this kind of pathetic behavior as a joke. Aggression and nastiness by proxy and all.
EricaH329 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 It is scripted, I imagine TM's interactions with people in real life, were the same. The movie just glorifies it, is all. Which is just another reason I wouldn't be able to take him seriously. It's so easy to tell when someone is running through lines in their head, as opposed to just being themselves. If he was trying to be an @$$, while running through lines, i'd die laughing :laugh:
january2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 It obviously works, excerpt from the movie, based on TM: I don't remember any of my male peers acting like this beyond the age of 19. Even house parties during uni were pretty tame. Perhaps there's a cultural and a generational divide.
lululucy Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Haha, I wouldn't mind having male friends to hear these stories. The ones I have never share them with me. :-/ Then these guys need to be friendzoned, stat! The only way my guy friends share this kind of crap with me is after I have made it incredibly clear we are not hooking up, not unless they can manage to get me so drunk I forget who they are. It is worth the listen though, if you have a sense of humour and are difficult to offend.
EricaH329 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I was reading through the FAQ on his site, and i've found my answer: Something to remember when reading what the trolls write about me is that most people cannot conceive of a reality outside their own experience. If they can’t see themselves doing it, they can’t believe anyone else can do it. So when some jealous anti-social loser reads my stuff, sometimes he will react in disbelief because he can’t imagine himself interacting with people in a way that doesn’t suck. Interacting with people in a way that doesn't suck?? :laugh: All I can do is laugh

I don't think TM covered up his intent, he was pretty open about it. But, that is based on the perception of him in the movie. Who knows what he was like in real life.
Stung Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 So sadly enough, the first ebook I purchased for my Kindle was Tucker Max's trashfest I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell...I know most of it is probably made up or grossly embellished, but I find it moderately humorous and entertaining, and it paints a faint picture of the life I completely missed out on because I was too busy feeling sorry for myself...so I'm more or less living vicariously though it... One of my good friends and I have coined the term "predatory mindset" for the approach used by Tucker, where he predates the weak and insecure women, much like a lion in the savannah would hunt down the slow or crippled antelope. It seemed to work for him... So gents, have you ever lived such a life? Did you find it favorable? And ladies, at any point in your life, did these types of alcohol saturated douchemuffins actually appeal to you? Favorable...? Just curious... I haven't read the book, but what I've heard of the man always seemed very bro-ish and fratty, very stereotypical douchebag. I have spent most of my life avoiding these types, so no. No, such alcohol saturated douchemuffins have never appealed to me. I was in Cabo San Lucas once on New Years Eve and they were EVERYWHERE and drunk and harrassing everyone; the hotel staff uniformly hated them, unsurprisingly. I was friendly with the bar staff and I saw some of the stuff that 'somehow' got into those drinks and snacks, whoa.

It is worth the listen though, if you have a sense of humour and are difficult to offend. Yeah, I mean I don't want to **** guys like this . I just want hear the stories. Like guys you go out drinking with , ha at the idea of me drinking. lol I tried this with this one guy after we both realized we are not compattible to date. I ask him .. " So got any pussy lately?" He got mad and told me I had a foul mouth . Yet it was ok for him to mouth out about girls , but not ok for me to actually want to hear it : guys are stupid.

But, that is based on the perception of him in the movie. Who knows what he was like in real life. Apparently he wrote and produced the movie himself. I've only seen the clips you provided from youtube, but that movie seems more like a 'what not to do' than a 'what to do', type thing.
elaina Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Is it bad I never heard of him? I've never heard of him before either, but what I'm "hearing" now just makes me gag. What's sad is that there are women who actually sleep with this loser. If women respected themselves enough, they'd keep away from guys like this, and then maybe guys like this would get their acts together! It's so sad all the cases I see of even teen girls getting involved with losers and getting heartbroken and/or calloused by guys who do not care for them, but rather just use them and throw them away. What's awesome is when you hear of a real man, not of a loser like this guy.
SmileFace Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I can actually relate to you Hokie , when you say that you wished you may have experienced in this manner somehow. Well kind of relate. I am 20 years old. I have lived on my own since I graduated H.S. I pay my way through college and work a full time job. I do party but that is more recreation. It is not possible for me to ever live a college life. Partying, drunk, only stress is getting my school work done. This will never happen for me. I don't have the privilege to do things most college kids my age experience. No , I don't really want that life. It is not me. That doesn't mean I don't wish I could actually experience it.
elaina Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 It's not just that some women put up with it, it's that some are actually drawn to it... Those who are drawn to it have issues themselves, which could come from physical/sexual/verbal abuse when they were kids, from addictions to alcohol or drugs, or other issues that they are going through. They need help. I help out in a women's shelter, and it kills me how many women who are abused have been hurt and are broken and yet are attracted to guys who hurt them. They need healed, not used and abused by some loser. The guys who do this kind of stuff need help too. They hurt people. It'd be one thing if it didn't hurt anybody, but when people are hurting, it does not make the earth a better place! So yeah some losers are funny, that's wonderful I'm sure. Having a sense of humor though doesn't take away the damage done to other human beings. This guy could still be funny and get his act together and not use women like masturbating toys but rather NOT USE THEM and see them as people worthy of care and respect.
Jannah Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Apparently he wrote and produced the movie himself. I've only seen the clips you provided from youtube, but that movie seems more like a 'what not to do' than a 'what to do', type thing. Yes, the movie should serve as a "what not to do", most definitely. Do not defy social boundaries to such an extreme, do not drink away your kidneys and have reckless coma induced sex with random people, ruin relationships with your friends and family. That should absolutely be the message people hear loud and clear when they see the likes of someone like TM. He was a rich, over privileged, narcissist with a BA in law who acquired his sense of masculinity through his antics and sexual conquests. He's not the first man to do it, and he certainly won't be the last.
Nexus One Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 There are enough girls that want to sleep with men like this. Girls that "just wanna have fun" generally have a very good understanding with these guys. They know of each other that they both just want to mess around with anyone they like. Often enough though there are girls that have no idea what they're getting themselves into though.
Pyro Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I'm having a difficult time believing that these stories are actually true. They seem like something a person would make up for entertainment purposes. I do find the stories amusing, but i'm also not taking them seriously. entertainment= money.
Author USMCHokie Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 The guys who do this kind of stuff need help too. They hurt people. It'd be one thing if it didn't hurt anybody, but when people are hurting, it does not make the earth a better place! Tucker Max even admits in his book that he has issues stemming from his family and growing up...so perhaps he is no better than those women who pine for guys like him...maybe he's just the male version of those troubled women...?

That doesn't mean I don't wish I could actually experience it.If such behavior is "not you", then it will not bring you any happiness. Girls your age can get more out of a loving 'girlfriend and boyfriend' relationship with no defined life goals and an open ending. Find a decent guy that doesn't take advantage of you. And whatever happens never give up your financial independence and the roof over your head. That way you'll always have an exit strategy and a place to go if things go sour.

Good point... I did not think of that. It's possible yes. Maybe I'm judging him too harshly. It just bugs me when I see so many girls so hurt, you know? I don't like that. Who knows? Maybe all the women who slept with didn't get hurt at all by him, but my point is that possibly, the reason they even slept with him was because they were already heart-broken or calloused before him.

It could be. If you watch the clip when he hits on a married woman, he approached her, flirted with her and then proceeded to come on to her sexually and she knew full well it was just about sex and she didn't care. She was attracted to him, she cast her ethics aside, and made out with him. She was going to sleep with him had there been no intestinal interruption (excerpt from the movie). Shame on him, but shame on her too.
O'Malley Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Maybe I'm judging him too harshly. Don't worry, Elaina, you're not ......
EricaH329 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 entertainment= money. Oh absolutely. I'm not against watching, or hearing, something entertaining for that purpose only. What bothers me is that some men are actually attempting to become another Tucker Max, and that some girls actually fall for it. Edit: To each their own, I suppose.

Jannah Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 So you think these women are as much to blame as he is...? In the case of TM and the married woman, yes, equal consent. He came onto her sexually, she complied. He was never devious with his intent, in that particular instance.
