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.
Anybody with a screen name (and a car) that cool doesn't have to apologize. ;-)
Eww, he’s ugly
Apparently that doesn’t matter. I am good looking, probably could be the next James Bond, but I cannot get a date. The only positive feedback I get is from 20 year olds, not women in their 20s, but women who are 20 years old and still wear their pj bottoms to the grocery store and wear panties with garfield the cat on them.
To which you responded: "I think it is our perverse culture of death and the sexualization of everything."
Yes, but it's much simpler than that: CONTRACEPTION. Without widespread contraception none of this would be happening. Period. Finis.
You are so right about women and guns.I took a lady friend to range once and at first she was luke warm about going. Once there all she wanted to do was shoot. The funny thing is everytime she fired at a Man Target, most shots hit in the groinal area.
Something about women and guns.
Had a lady friend who hated guns but we were at Republican fund raiser(she’s a lefty but like the guy personally)
Anyway, Skeet shooting was on the day’s activities. Showed her how to do it, bead, lead, Blam!
She was hitting 8 of 10 and feeling really confident.
To this day she thinks she is a hot shot. Still hates guns.
Conundrum, huh? LOL
It seems pretty pathetic to me that a 33-yr-old MAN revolves his life around trying to relive college glory days, hanging at college bars, unable to keep a job, boozing his brains out and picking up much-younger coeds. Reminds me of Matthew McConaughey’s character in “Dazed and Confused” haha.
Now I can see a college-aged guy doing all this, but not someone in his mid-30s. I’ve never heard of this guy. But I agree with the other posters; for some reason, many ladies love the thrill of the chase and dealing with Mr. Jerk like him. Don’t know why, but it’s true.
please, if you want a good laugh read the first paragraph of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I still laugh about the 300 lb somoan attorney using beer to "facilitate" the tanning process, the ether in the rags on the floorboard and the bats...... Hahahahaha. Still makes me laugh.
“I wish him good luck with ordering that beer in Hell.”
It’s probably Miller Lite or Schlitz.
I am sooo glad that after my divorce I had the mid life crisis thing early enough that now I only date nice women.
Good point, but I'd just like to see society's ratio of moral people to immoral people move up a few notches again.
But, yes, it's a relativist age we call the present...
I know you have been roped and hog-tied but there’s a wealth of advice for this thread within the mountains of experience on the subject within the crags of your brain...
The death penalty kills murderers; abortion kills innocent unborn children. There is no moral equivalency here.
I agree with Kakaze, and I disagree with varyouga, although I have heard his story many times. It really is not true. If you believe you only find women who do not want to be treated well, you must be looking in the wrong places. I assure you that most women, and all the Christian women I know, want men who treat them with respect and respond in kind.
And if you have a relationship with someone who does not want to be treated well, then what kind of sick relationship would that be? People like the jerk in this article don’t have relationships. They have sexual encounters like animals. It’s sick. They are sad specimens indeed, and I feel very sorry for them.
Courtney and Max sound like they deserve each other. Why have so many young women today sunken to such depths of depravity?
I’ve never once got on the path to getting anywhere romantically with a woman by treating her as “special”.

I am guessing that you and the friend you mention are “unsuccessful” because of the women you target. Men often have a problem of basing their choices mainly on looks — it’s biological, I know — so if she looks good she must be good. The flashy big-breasted, big-haired girl is often not the big-hearted girl.
I have,it took 41 years of living to find her but it was worth every minute. Never sacrifice your morals , your manners or yourself.

Beautiful! Great advice.
It is no different than men who are excited by physically “hot” women with less than ideal minds. They are attracted to the health her beauty projects and are programmed to use her as an “incubator”. Impregnating many healthy women would yield the greatest number of strong, healthy offspring. Even if 90%+ of their personalities were less than ideal.
I didn't mean to say ALL women select men based on aggression and excitement. But the few “rational” women that I have met were somewhat boring, “cookie-cutter” and didn't seek as much excitement in life as I would have liked. Exciting women generally choose men that excite them on an “animal” level.
Our “animal” instincts come into play far more than we like.
