How did The Narrator manage to attract so many people to join Fight Club in the first place?


When he beat “himself” up in the alley behind the bar, wouldn’t that make himself seem more like a crazy person? How did that “beating himself up” thing lead to the formation of a Fight Club?

How do any cult leaders gain followers??

As Jack hes quite tepid but as Tyler he is EXTREMELY charismatic and thrilling.

He was able to attract them because they were just as damaged as he was.

You have never been to a bar where there are men looking to fight? Alcohol + testosterone leads to the desire to fight other males, when the brain is shutting down the last lights on are the more primeval ones of human nature.
