Late last September a college student who called herself Courtney A. posted a story on the feminist website Lemondrop: “I Slept With Tucker Max, the Internet’s Biggest Asshat.”
Courtney, 21, is a student at Penn State University. Tucker Max, 33, six feet tall, extrovertedly good-looking, and usually photographed latched to a girl, a bottle of booze, or a cheeseburger, is an honors graduate (in three years) of the University of Chicago. He has a law degree from Duke University, whose admissions committee was so impressed with his academic record that it awarded him an academic scholarship. Yet his only experience practicing law to date has consisted of getting fired from a $2,400-a-week summer-associate job at a prestigious Silicon Valley firm for, among other things, showing up intoxicated at the orientation meeting and complaining that he couldn’t see anything because he had lost his contacts in a hookup with a girl he had met at a party the night before; informing a female recruiter at the firm that he was “calling a porn line” when she walked into his office unexpectedly; and getting fall-down drunk at a firm retreat and shouting the F-word at a charity auction attended by the partners and their spouses. His email account of the last escapade made its way to laughs around the country.
Max is famous as a blogger (tuckermax.com), and his website is replete with stories like the ones above, all involving graphically rendered bedroom exploits (if your definition of bedroom includes vans, offices, and the great outdoors), massive quantities of alcohol, and copious vomiting. He is the author of several books, including The Definitive Book of Pickup Lines (2001, out of print but selling for close to $200 on Amazon), the 2006 blockbuster I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, which spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and the forthcoming Assholes Finish First. Beer in Hell, a dramatization of some of his website yarns, became an indie movie hit in college towns last fall (playing to less-than-enthusiastic audiences elsewhere).
Max and Courtney got together because upon reading a friend’s text message late one Monday evening announcing that Max would be at a bar near campus after a screening of Beer in Hell, she jumped up, changed her clothes, and rushed off to await the great man’s arrival. At the bar, she worked her way through a knot of female rivals to meet him.
“34C?” Tucker asked.
“32C,” Courtney replied, “but good guess. What, are you trying to touch them or something?”
“Oh, I know I can touch them,” he said. “But I like to guess first.”
At the Hampton Inn where Max was staying, he introduced Courtney to his dog: “Say hello to the new slut.” The next morning, after some sessions of “jackhammering a sidewalk,” as she described his sexual technique (although she did concede that he was a “great kisser”), he handed her $20 for the taxi ride of shame back to her apartment. His last words were, “Call me if you’re ever in L.A.”
Many of the commenters to Courtney’s tell-all expressed “disgust” at Max’s manifestly unchivalrous behavior. In a September op-ed for the Washington Post, feminist Jaclyn Friedman, who inexplicably blamed Max’s perverse success with females (half his fans, perhaps the more enthusiastic half, are female) on abstinence-only sex education, sniffed that she found his “antics revolting,” blasted his “unapologetic misogyny,” and accused him of contributing to a campus atmosphere that allows 150,000 young women to be raped every academic year. (Friedman derived that extraordinarily high figure by counting drunken sexual encounters between students as rape.) Amanda Marcotte, the feminist blogger briefly hired by John Edwards during his presidential campaign, chimed in, accusing Max of a “bone-deep hatred of sexual women”—and also of possible “sexual assault” because he had bragged on his website about sleeping with a drunk girl while a friend hidden in a closet filmed the encounter. In May, feminist picketers so disrupted an appearance by Max at Ohio State University that he needed a police escort to get away.
And yet women will continue to date him. What is it with women and bad boys?

Sorry about the double post.
Very well put.
Go to the link to read the entire article ........................ Who has the time, its a small book.
“I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” is one of my favorite books and a guide for my dating life now that I am divorced. Working pretty well so far.
He gave up 2400$ a week and I can’t find a f**king job???????????????????
Because it’s soooo hollywood.
I wish him good luck with ordering that beer in Hell.
And American popular culture sinks even lower into the latrine.
Potential Democrat presidential candidate ?
Tucker is definitely an example of the worst our sex-driven society has become. However, I have no sympathy for the women like this Courtney babe who come on to him like a hooker would and then are aghast that he really is a jerk, just like he said he was in his books.
I couldn’t make it past page 2 - the article was that depressing.
Such miserable people, it’s very sad. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
I've never once got on the path to getting anywhere romantically with a woman by treating her as “special”. As soon as you start treating most of them as such, being “friended” is always days or hours away.
I'm a nice guy to nice people. Many women say very successful, intelligent and above average looking. But the fact that I have trouble treating “special” or intelligent women the same as I treat trash gets me nowhere with a woman I actually like as a person.
One of my former coworkers is a successful researcher and body builder(looks like a ripped Calvin Klein model) with degrees from Harvard and Colombia. BUT, he's an EXTREMELY nice guy and can never insult or use a woman. As a result, he hasn't gotten anywhere beyond a first date in at least 5 years. He's in his late 20s and never having a girlfriend always torments him.
Men simply do what works. Women let them
OMG! A friend found this guy’s website and he is the biggest jerk!
I have a hard time believing his stories are true.

But he doesn't. In a moral society, it is WOMEN who have all the power in male/female relations. It is they who control the dynamic with the word "no."
Oh, wait... did I just assume we live in a moral society?
Nevermind...
“And yet women will continue to date him. What is it with women and bad boys?”
Women like this, that go for the bad boys, ARE the problem. Or actually, the sexual revolution, with its birth control, abortion, etc., has encouraged women to exercise the “freedom” to be so careless.
A friend relayed the story of the drunk girl and his friend in the closet. Revolting.
I am a man and I love women, go out with my fair share of them because they are interesting and fun. Just love them.
But, Max is just a disgusting jerk and I am certain we would not be wingmen a the bar and probably not someone I would associate with.
Women are to be respected and who knows, many times you have a new friend even though there is no relationship as a couple.
