Tucker Max. Jasus.

Dwork

Any of ye read anything by Tucker Max? Ruined my faith in love, life and the light side of life. "I hope they serve beer in hell" especially.

Was stuck on a ferry for 4 hours, one book(a mates) and it was by the Tucker fcuker. I'm a wee bit sorry I read it, on the other hand, it caused me to re-appraise my attitude to life somwhat. Read any of his stuff? Did it fcuk with your head?

I read his site back in the day. His stories are obviously either total fabrications or hugely embellished, in my opinion. He was good at selling himself (not like that. Or maybe...) for a while but then his career completely petered out. Complete non-entity these days.

best book ive ever read,.....

I read his book. There are time when you think that guy is a ****ing legend (Like the sushi bar story or when he was a law intern). And times when you think that may the scummiest thing I've ever heard (when he's trying to have sex with his ex who is about to have an abortion and a woman who has just had a miscarriage). Sounds like a guy who would be great fun to meet on a night out, but really you wouldn't want to be him.

Tucker Minimum.

He's a douche.

He's a douche, but is he a right douche? Depressing, but somehow, it rings true..

Probably not marriage material, if I get you right.

I read I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell a few years ago and enjoyed it under my own forced impression that Tucker invented his persona and the stories in the book no matter how hard he tried to prove he was telling the truth.

Sadly, my mates about half an inch away from Tucker in terms of outlook, and lives much like he writes. So, it rings a bit true to me... I thought he was an anomaly...he might be a form of norm..shyte.

It's years since I read those. Had completely forgotten him. Taken with a grain of salt a lot of it was very funny reading.

Back when I used to read Twenty Major. I miss that blog

I love tucker max. I know women are supposed to hate him, but I don't. He's the perfect man. Imagine how entertaining he would be. I read his "I hope they serve beer in hell" on the plane back from New York and I was practically in tears. The movie was nowhere near as good.

movie was deplorable....but book so funny....hard to put down

Violent Acres (A chick who ran a blog) dug the dirt on him, and found out that everything he wrote is a complete lie.

Yeah, but then Randy Longshags (a guy who runs a blog) dug the dirt on her and found out she was motivated by bitter jealousy and was also a lesbian. It's a terrible circle of hate.

Some of his stories were pretty funny, but yeah, I wouldn't believe one of them. He was trying to make a name for himself more than anything else, and seemed to just love the attention.

anncoates

He sounds like a sanitary towel brand.

Oh I know! Swoooooon. Bad boyz r so sexy! Giggle! Etc.

Seriously you have little conviction in your attitude to life if a book by some boastful liar makes you reappraise it.

Might need to remove that stick from your ass, tbh.

Madam_X

Indeed. Thinking the guy seems a complete **** based on what he claims, whether truth or a lie, clearly means I've a stick up my ass. Whereas your view of him as "the perfect man" is obviously very healthy.

I have read all of his books. I always was wondering if they were made up. There is one particular story on Miss Vermont, and I couldn't believe it was true. But he had all of the corroborative evidence - articles from New York times, Papers from Court injucntions, Actual screenshots from her website and photographs.

Every time you think that a story is false or an embellishment, he proves it with evidence. Whatever you think, the books are funny. Great holiday/airport reading.

Alright. nothing wrong with someone into a bit of devilment.


Giggle bbz.

My favourite was the first time he tried anal sex, made up or not that was gold.

"A bit of", yeh, but not a complete dick. Not saying the book doesn't seem funny and entertaining, but hero worship of someone because they treat people like sh1t is teenage.

Hero worship? Look he's written many books, he's had movies made about him, any woman getting involved with him would know he's a jackass, it's not like he's hiding him being a dick and springing it on them.

Kinda reminds me of Hunter Moore, only not nearly as trashy, totes hero of mine hunter moore ..

Tucker's book maybe garbage, made up, or even embellished, but there's a running pattern, some ( not all ) women want to be treated like muck, buy a douche of a guy ..

I remember reading it at the time and he mentioned "The Bunny" and if I recall correctly she was the only one he really ever cared for. She was also a blogger - remember looking her up at the time and finding this

Never heard of him before this thread!

I read a third of one of his books because it came in a bundle that I downloaded for my kindle.

He is a giant douche and it was some of the most sexist stuff I have ever read. It got deleted pretty swiftly.
It wasn't even funny and I'm normally pretty laid back about that kind of thing.

Sadly, it was in the bundle I downloaded because it was in the NY Times bestseller list for non-fiction. So obviously people like him.

Ah, but then The Sneeze (Dude who ran a blog) dug the dirt on Randy and found that he was in cahoots with Tucker who was responsible for stealing the tree brain.

Err, no. It just opened up a window into the mindset of some other people. People I always wondered "nah, sure they're only messing, no way do they go on like that". Then you read somthing by "their hero" and I just kinda had a "jasus" moment. Not quite "reappraising" my life here old son, just reappraising my view of some types of people.

Oh, well you should have said that then instead of saying it made you reappraise your view of life somewhat.

Somewhat= about 4 hours. 2 of which involved beer.
