Attraction is not an option.
Neil Strauss
He was telling the students about the hypnotic technique of using quotes in a conversation. An idea is more palatable ... if it comes from someone else. The unconscious thinks in terms of content and structure. If you introduce a pattern with the words, 'My friend was telling me,' the critical part of her mind shuts off.
Neil Strauss
It’s not lying, it’s flirting.
Neil Strauss
When I look down at my pale, skinny body, I wonder why any woman would want to sleep next to it, let alone embrace it.
Neil Strauss
Accepting others' life choices is something most people only learn with age.
Neil Strauss
Anyone who hates something feels threatened by it. A guy who says he hates feminism (a) doesn't understand or know feminism, and (b) is scared of powerful women. Most attacks come from fear.
Neil Strauss
Fear makes you docile.
Neil Strauss
God is on the side of the winner.
Neil Strauss
In fact, every woman I met seemed disposable and replaceable. I was experiencing seducer's paradox: The better a seducer I became, the less I loved women. Success was no longer defined by getting laid or finding a girlfriend, but by how well I performed.
Neil Strauss
People don't come out for book events. They want to feel an emotion and be entertained.
Neil Strauss
I've seen rock stars agonize over the fact that another artist has far more Facebook 'likes' and Twitter followers than they do.
Neil Strauss
A couple of kind words can not only make a person's day, but earn you a friend and supporter for life. For the rest of the week, whenever you see someone you want to judge negatively, pay them a compliment instead. See what happens.
Neil Strauss
We're just fragile machines programmed with a false sense of our own importance. And every now and then the universe sends a reminder that we don't really matter to it.
Neil Strauss
When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition.
Neil Strauss
A lot of guys are very intimidated by an attractive woman, and they dehumanise her because our culture perceives beautiful women as commodities. But I think if you're able walk up to a person and get to know them, and you see their flaws and their impurities, and realise that they're like you, then you can humanise them again.
Neil Strauss
I think my love is storytelling. No matter what it is, it's storytelling. And so whatever the medium is, what's right for the story, I enjoy doing it.
Neil Strauss
A good organizer is key to anyone with a busy social life.
Neil Strauss
Rapport equals trust plus comfort.
Neil Strauss
I've noticed a pattern in stars that start acting out in public. Every one of them felt like they grew up without love.
Neil Strauss
In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out.
Neil Strauss
