Actually its quite a poetic summation of him. And I don't think Bukowski cared much for grammatically correct, so long as it stirred you, so long as the line stayed with you.
Yeah, the interview could've ended there, honestly, and it still would've encapsulated Bukowski perfectly. Never watched a video that made me laugh in the first 2 or 3 seconds of runtime.
I fucking love how he just doesn’t seem ashamed about any aspect of his life. Just flat out admitting he was a virgin until 24 and lost it to a “300 pound whore” like it’s nothing to be at all embarrassed by is really the sort of honesty and self-assurance I truly admire.
You believe all men admit it when they get older? A lot of people take stuff like that to their graves. It just feels like it cause of few minor celebrities talk about this stuff on podcasts novadays
Ken S. I can relate I’m a bit older nowadays, and i don’t hop on just any woman anymore, also this is one of the main reasons I don’t drink to much anymore anyways when he’s talking about how she was laying on her back snoring sleeping it reminded me of pale white rolls in the moonlight.
Holden Morrison to many beached whales the ones with fat asses are okay but girls used to be self conscience (if I eat that it’ll go to my hips) but there’s a difference between a fat round booty and a square cellulite type. Big girls used to have awesome personalities, now there allowed to act just as stuck up as anyone else. Watch all the hate this comment gets. My friend had an older sister when we where teenagers and she made the comment “well big girls need loving too” and he says “yeah but they should have to pay for it” lol
He’s had a couple of films about him but only small segments of his life. In Barfly he was played by Mickey Rourke and in Factotum he was done by Matt Dillon, the latter was better but a lot of people would fight me on that. I’d personally love to see a decade-spanning biopic with William H. Macy, Ben Mendelsohn or perhaps Willem Dafoe playing his part
Ben Gazarra played a Bukowski character in "Tales of Ordinary Madness." I just saw a RUclips clip of the movie. I'd love to find it on DVD, but it's rare and very expensive.
+MsJavaWolf He's a monster on the surface. The kind of guy who abuses not only women but people in general relentlessly. He abused the prostitute because he believes she didn't love him (odds are she didn't, he had to pay for her love after all). But behind that surface is a man who wants to dance in the field with a woman who loves him, caress her hair lovingly as she drifts off to sleep in his bed. More so than that, he was a man who wanted to feel appreciated and loved by just about anybody. Man or woman, friend or lover, it didn't matter. He's the type of man who turns himself into a monster because he wants to believe that he is rejected by society due to a monstrous personality as opposed to features that he simply can't control (looks, wealth etc). That gives him false hope. He tells himself that his life is a mess because he is a monster and he can change that anytime he wants to. He doesn't want to face the fact that the truth is more despairing than that...
+Oscar Hayden (Perdition Bound) And the truth is that society rejected him before he rejected it and it rejected him because he was ugly and poor. Society was the problem, not him. That's the reason why so many people turn themselves into monsters. Hope.
That is quite profound, I suppose we all have to be good at something to grasp at some semblance of control. Perhaps no one is born wanting to be the villain.
I always hated books my whole youth, but when I heard of this brutally honest man who does not hide anything at 20 years old, I had to buy his books. And now I love reading.
@@seanmatthewking Hank was the nickname of Bukowski. He was known as Charles Bukowski but his name was Henry Charles Bukowski (or better, Heinrich Karl Bukowski). Henry was the name of his father too, so everybody called him Hank from his childhood, but he didn't use the first name "Henry" because he hated his father.
It may not be important to you ,but it is a very frustrating thing ,my first time at 18 was very painful ,it was in the bathroom with my GF while her mom was downstaris ,for some reason a got burning in piss for a week.I seriously regretted having sex
funny how a really huge percentage of ppl who claim they lost their virginity at a certain age either didn't at all yet or not until much later but this guy is 100% truthful lol, rest in power.
Bukowski always made me feel better about my life when I was in the shit. Great sense of humour - his short stories are some of the most entertaining pieces written.
Ok so hey listen I have to tell you what happened last night. I went to a bar with some cocaine looking for some strange and as I’m sitting at the bar drinking and plotting who I would approach and offer cocaine too a couple ladies approached me and said hi. One of them told me I had a “Tom Hardy vibe” going. So at that point I knew I had not only one but two potential ladies I could have sexual intercourse with. So I tell them I could get us a bottle and go to the Motel 6, where I have a room that I’ve been living in ever since my wife threw me out cause she found out I was sleeping with her sister, and I mention the cocaine I have in my pocket. And they say yes. I like to offer to get a bottle cause that saves me money from having to buy a lot of drinks. I also put a lot of baby laxative in the cocaine to make it last longer cause it’s really expensive and I don’t have a lot of money and I still need to be able to pay for the room at the Motel 6 or else I’ll be living in my car again. So I take the ladies to my room and I bring out a vodka bottle. And it’s like the cheapest vodka. But I take off the label so they don’t know. So they start drinking and doing lines and I go to the bathroom to use my German made penis enlarger pump. I read somewhere online that the pumps from Germany are the best. So I’m in the bathroom pumping but it’s not working. I couldn’t get it up. Meanwhile I have these two fairly attractive ladies waiting on me. I must be drinking too much and snorting too much cocaine and it caused me erectile dysfunction. So I’m in the bathroom feeling bad and I hear them snorting more and more coke and I wanted them to stop cause I need that coke. So I came out of the bathroom and told them I couldn’t get it up and I asked them to leave. I didn’t even bother lying to them. I was too depressed to care. After they left I was missing my wife so I called her but her new boyfriend picked up the phone and he told me that if I ever called her again he would beat me up.
Yes because now everyone wants to look and show a perfect life. We live in the most narcisistic era in civilization. We all have to look good, be fit eat healthy be good looking and expose our "perfect" life in social media. Dont you dare to be autenthic or have flaws.
This is almost exactly my first experience. She was big and after it was done I was just like “this is it” loved watching this cause it made me feel less embarrassed about it lol
I feel like broken people admire this guy. And we all go different ways of life. I'd day I'm middle class? But if the world went to shit? I'd say people like Charles would lead a great world, making sure we understand pain, but making sure that love is there. And there it is. Love isn't reserved for a romance.
everybody just looks at bukowksi as such a mysogisinistic pig and they cant see how fucking endearing he really was. the most tender drunk soul out there
So funny how everyone seems to think they knew these kinds of people on a personal level. We have no idea who he really was,only what's on tape and in books. He's a stranger.
Listening to this as a 24 year old virgin myself and hearing the interviewer being shocked by Bukowski admitting that he was a virgin until 24 just makes me fucking depressed man…
Man you're not alone. People that judge a person by the age he/she lost his/her virginity are the most ignorant beings on earth. They don't consider that not every one is lucky enough to meet the right person in a young age. The fact that someone loses his virginity younger is most of the time a matter of luck and coincidence, that has nothing to do with personality or capabilities. Explain to me why so many geniouses such as Nicola Tesla died virgins. In this case, the interviewer is both ignorant and disrespectful, non taking into account that "Really?" can become an offensive response, just as much as telling it to someone who got his driving license at 20+
I read somewhere in the comments that someone felt pity for Charles Bukowski. Are you kidding me?! You pity Charles Bukowski?! Well, I pity you for not knowing who to spend your pity on. Why on earth will you pity someone as complex and self-aware as him?
One thing you can learn from the latent wisdom in bulowski's words: You can compromise on the partner but never on the time you choose to loose the scarlet 'V'. A great answer to give to anyone when being subjected to peer pressure. Are all the guys and gals in highschool listening to this?
I am 24 and virgin went many times up to brothel house but my heart didnt give permission to have sex by offering money. what a lunatic heart do i have.
Now I'm gonna play devils advocate... Find a cute one that you resonate with, tell her to make it special. Always cover up. Put your heart on your sleeve, and tell your dick he's in charge for the next couple of minutes. *then leave a depressed little shit realizing that life is still shit. whether your a virgin or not, a good women just makes the blues more bearable you know*
He wrote it and it was published on Notes Of A Dirty Old Man. If you search on internet you'll find the first published version with a drawing of a fat woman in the middle.
Bukowski is actually a leader of a whole art movement, there are others very similar to him like the impressionists were all similar. He is actually the last 20th century artist, that movement included Crumb and other cartoonists and also writers,
I feel like that, when I was younger I was a weirdo, in the end I learnt to mimic the normal I guess I was never happy till I lost everything and found myself
Well it’s one of the best recommendations. I hope RUclips suggests me too people and things that gave so much to humanity instead of cringe ass time wasting loads of attention seeking crap
This is a good and honest man. In contemporary society he would be ridiculed and deemed a sexist. However, if you take the time to actually listen to him, his truthfulness shines through. Most men who lost their virginity at such an older age wouldn't readily admit it like Bukowski does. Also, he demonstrates sincere guilt for the things he did and said to the girl.
24 is hardly an “older” age. You make it seem like 24 is old, it’s certainly not too old to be a so called male virgin”. Should everyone have sex at 12-13? Smh
He was a "cool guy" as you say when he became old, but if you met him when he was 30/40 y.o. he would treated you like shit if he was drunked. He hardly had self control while he was drunked, he became just like his angry father when he was drunked.
Well i am also not so devilishly handsome and im definitely an outcast, its so mesmerizing when you realize all these experiences as we feel as humans have all been experienced by our predecessors a century ago, a thousand years ago and possibly from dawn of humanity. Its fascinating.
Let this be a lesson to all who are rushing to give up their virginity to some random person. Yes, give up. Virginity is something you give, not something you lose. Make sure you give it to someone you love in that moment, otherwise I doubt you'll enjoy it as much or at all.
@@kion9894 no. the bed broke. He couldnt find his wallet. He accused her of stealing his wallet and it was under the bed all the time. He felt bad. went to the bar to apologise. she had told the bartender and the bar tender told him 'we cant serve you.'

But it really isn't. That was like 30 years ago for him. A lifetime.
Someone telling the truth when all of our social norms are built out of lies always seems revolutionary lol, even tho this is not ideal
The honesty and self- assurance is what made him a writer and a very real person to listen to. Not many ppl can do it. Very very challenging
He was 63 at this point. What would it serve him to lie about his sexual exploits as a 24 year old young man at that point in time?

He reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut.
Arguably the two greatest American storytellers of the 20th century
Hillarious. Great interviewer too :D
Respect for the honesty... Ita rare you hear smy like that today
Wtf his voice is exactly as how I imagined it in my head
He started drinking early in his life. I guess he looked 42 when he was 24 and still a virgin.
Cool guy. May he rest in peace.
Bukowski was the Bukowski's best piece of art
This is a good and honest man. In contemporary society he would be ridiculed and deemed a sexist. However, if you take the time to actually listen to him, his truthfulness shines through. Most men who lost their virginity at such an older age wouldn't readily admit it like Bukowski does. Also, he demonstrates sincere guilt for the things he did and said to the girl.
24 is hardly an “older” age. You make it seem like 24 is old, it’s certainly not too old to be a so called male virgin”. Should everyone have sex at 12-13? Smh
@@neox9369 my cousin lost it at 13. im sure he has a fulfilling life ahead of him
I worked and I worked and I worked
The most poignant part is when he says near the end “... she wasn’t much, but I accused her wrongly...”
Life writes the best stories!
awwww....this is such a sweet story.
What a character!
I have watched 3 minutes of this guy and can tell he is a cool guy to be around with
Alex Ribbentrop Emmanuel Malespin
Yes because every guys in the world had a 300 pounds more once in a while in their life
and more that I can relate to the outcast of being in school
He was a "cool guy" as you say when he became old, but if you met him when he was 30/40 y.o. he would treated you like shit if he was drunked. He hardly had self control while he was drunked, he became just like his angry father when he was drunked.
Unless you're a woman. No fun here.
I haven’t laughed so hard in ages! This man is a godamn masterpiece
If pity guarantees love then I love Bukowski
It's a miracle that Bukowski didn't end up like a complete psychopath.Hank childhood is very sad and tormenting!
❤ LEGENDRY WRITER ❤
This emulated my situation almost exactly.
Oh my God i love this guy
Reminds me of the beginning of Flannery O’Conners wise blood.
Well i am also not so devilishly handsome and im definitely an outcast, its so mesmerizing when you realize all these experiences as we feel as humans have all been experienced by our predecessors a century ago, a thousand years ago and possibly from dawn of humanity. Its fascinating.
one of a kind. God what a writer!

The great thing is that where you are is not where you have to be forever.
Completely in love with his tone of voice. I’m very sad he didn’t narrate his books
He does have some spoken word albums on spotify!
i treasure our river walks down by the cemetary....
good times on cold marble.
Your comment has really stayed with me. Could you please tell me what it refers to?
Why the hell would he kick her out if he though she still had his wallet?
I love the way he speaks 💕
Very soft spoken
Wherever he is in the afterlife, I wanna meet him there and have a drink with him
Let this be a lesson to all who are rushing to give up their virginity to some random person. Yes, give up. Virginity is something you give, not something you lose. Make sure you give it to someone you love in that moment, otherwise I doubt you'll enjoy it as much or at all.
Kinda funny how being honest is like the most Amazing thing now days.
Edit: To some people at least, I prefer honesty over fake.
this made me cry
This is just an honest person. But getting there, sure is tough... :)
Damn i felt that when he said he didn't go to any dances "I was an outcast"
@doorsfan4ourever Hi, can you please tell me where this interview came from? ie the media company if known? thanks in advance!
Tom Waits could play this part so easily
*i feel sorry for that woman , may she rest in peace*
Why ? I cant understand him did he said he killed her because she stole his wallet ?
@@kion9894 Charles Bukowski died in the 90's and she probably did too.
@@kion9894 no. the bed broke. He couldnt find his wallet. He accused her of stealing his wallet and it was under the bed all the time. He felt bad. went to the bar to apologise. she had told the bartender and the bar tender told him 'we cant serve you.'
@@user-vs6uj3we1o if she really was 300 pounds then it was probably more like the 70's when she snuffed it.
There's nothing shameful about losing virginity in a later age, I'm a Christian and I'm waiting till marriage, it would only be with the woman I would live the rest of my life with
nice meme
