Neil Strauss quotes about
A lot of women - not all of them, a lot of them - feel insecure about men being men.
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.
Alcohol has never caused anyone to do something they didn't want to do. It only enables them to do what they've always wanted but have instead repressed.
Never ask a woman if you may kiss her. Instead, learn to read body language.
While I am impulsive in many areas of my life, marriage is not one of them.
Fear makes you docile.
Rapport equals trust plus comfort.
Life is more fun when you open your mouth.
Most robots don't program themselves.
We make fun of those we're most scared of becoming.
A good organizer is key to anyone with a busy social life.
I've never trusted collaborations, because most people in this world are not closers. They don't finish what they start; they don't live what they dream; they sabotage their own progress because they're afraid they won't find what they seek.
Instead of putting others down, try improving yourself instead. The only person you have a right to compete with is you. In the meantime, treat others how you'd like to be treated. One trait that some of the best (communicators) share is empathy. 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.
Those who ask for help are often those who have failed to do something for themselves.
