Tucker Max Gives Up the Game: What Happens When a Bestselling Player Stops Playing?

The best take away from the article

“Well, it doesn’t, dude. I’ve sold millions of books! I’ve had sex with hundreds, maybe thousands of women. And I still had to go to analysis! I started analysis after all that dude! That shit didn’t fill the hole man. None of it did. I thought it did for a while, and it didn’t. Because the hole was created by a different sort of pain, I thought this other stuff would make up for it. But that’s not how it works. It’s not like a scale that balances out—some bad stuff from the past gets balanced out by some good, different stuff now. “No, that’s not how it works. Either you address those issues and you change those patterns, or you don’t. And nothing you dump on top, no amount of attraction from any woman in any bar is ever going to change how you unconsciously feel about things that happened to you when you were a kid on a playground. “You have to deal with those feelings directly. You can’t deal with them in a bar. I wish you could man! Because, if it was possible to cure your problems with pussy and drinking and book sales, I would have done it! I would have fuckin’ done it, dude! I wish, man! I wish! But I couldn’t. And neither can you.”

Am I the only person who found the author of this article obnoxious?

Did he get caught lying on his books? Something about about a radio interview where he contradicted himself and he couldn't come up with obvious proof.. can't remember the details.

Honestly, after going out and doing pick up I don't see how any of his stories are impossible, true to the average guy who goes out to a night club once a month and just talks to his friends the entire time what he's doing seems out there and impossible, but I think any guy who goes out regularly can see how those types of stories can happen.

I'm going to buy his last book for sure, and I'm glad he's moving on. He's a very intelligent guy and a good writer, he doesn't need to be a 40 year old frat boy.

This is really interesting.

A lot of folks might disagree with me on this but I find this article really relevant. Maybe it's because I've been both that skinny weakling and the douchebag in denial.

I do admit that I am also in that point in my life where I have come to realize that there is nowhere else to go but deal with your demons head on. It is probably the worst kind of fear/anxiety I have ever dealt with.

Thanks OP, I got a little misty reading towards the last part of the article. Damn onions.

I feel the author's pain when he talks about being the weakling, always being envious of others, and the PUA stuff. This article brought forward an idea I've had in the back of my mind for a while - go to therapy. Frankly, if even Tucker Max sees benefit in it, it might be helpful for me too.

Does anyone else here fucking hate Tucker Max and think him and everyone like him should be put up against a wall and executed? Anyone?
