Neil Strauss Men Quotations

A lot of women - not all of them, a lot of them - feel insecure about men being men.

When it comes to meeting and attracting women, many men are resigned and complacent. We figure some guys were born with that particular power and other guys weren't. I wasn't.

Men are a hundred times worse than you can imagine. We are thinking the worst, shallowest thoughts, all the time.

The good thing is that women have such high expectations of men that it inspires us to live up to them. That's what I learned about male-female relationships.

I had to go through this because men never ask for help. And they never take a good, hard look at themselves to figure out what's broken, what's not effective, what's not working.

The first night we go out, the students will walk in and crash and burn because they don't have a clue yet. The second day is more about the students and they'll go and do openers and do OK, and the third day is kind of fun. On the third day, they actually start to have some success. People forget how petrified men are to talk to women they don't know.

If there was anything I'd learned, it's that the man never chooses the woman. All he can do is give her an opportunity to choose him.

Men are not dogs. We merely think we are and, on occasion, act as if we are. But, by believing in our nobler nature, women have the amazing power to inspire us to live up to it.
