More quotes by Neil Strauss
God is on the side of the winner.
Neil Strauss
Accepting others' life choices is something most people only learn with age.
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
It's not enough to just be yourself. You must be your best self
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
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
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
Life is more fun when you open your mouth.
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
True endurance, I think, comes from the inside. It comes from motivation and belief in what you're doing.
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
Fear makes you docile.
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
Never ask a woman if you may kiss her. Instead, learn to read body language.
Neil Strauss
You have to build systems to protect against your lesser self.
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
That's how hatred is created: two different groups, each insisting they're on the moral high ground
Neil Strauss
In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out.
Neil Strauss
Men are a hundred times worse than you can imagine. We are thinking the worst, shallowest thoughts, all the time.
Neil Strauss
Attraction is not an option.
Neil Strauss
