More quotes by Neil Strauss
I feel like rock stars feel a sense of entitlement, whereas I just feel a sense of good fortune.
Neil Strauss
Growing up, I was watched by my parents and strongly critiqued. Instead of saying they loved me or showing physical attention, they would joke that I had a Roman nose - that it was roamin' all over my face. Teasing was their way of showing love, but then you are young, sometimes you can't tell the difference.
Neil Strauss
Accepting others' life choices is something most people only learn with age.
Neil Strauss
True endurance, I think, comes from the inside. It comes from motivation and belief in what you're doing.
Neil Strauss
Men are a hundred times worse than you can imagine. We are thinking the worst, shallowest thoughts, all the time.
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
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
Never ask a woman if you may kiss her. Instead, learn to read body language.
Neil Strauss
God is on the side of the winner.
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
Fear makes you docile.
Neil Strauss
We make fun of those we're most scared of becoming.
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
Rapport equals trust plus comfort.
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
People don't come out for book events. They want to feel an emotion and be entertained.
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
Life is more fun when you open your mouth.
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
You have to build systems to protect against your lesser self.
Neil Strauss
