There is a strange irony where being overly cerebral about sex and relationships end up nuking your abilitiesWith women it's about subtext, body language, tone, recognising that talking with a woman is for her basically foreplay. You have the natural instinct for this because you are a man, there should be no doubt about it, and by abandoning yourself to those instincts you will figure out the danceBut most have their instincts utterly numbed and mindraped. So first you practise discipline, restraint, and learn to focus. Focus on cultivating health, and living a good and interesting life. Then, those instincts will return by itself.
>>25011162>not being a misogynist (you proved it yourself with the study you linked)but most chads are misogynistic and women still lust for chad, so it literally disproves that being not misogynistic makes women like you.its funny how people like Tate always get trashed for being misogynistic and promoting toxic masculinity, but a lot of women still choose to sleep with him. that says a lot more about women than toxic masculinity
>>25011169isnt pic a schizo book? If I wanted to read schizo books to pick up women, I would read Goetia instead
Any books that will help me cope with the fact that I will never be a true genetic chad?
>>25011627Being a genetic chad with the mind of someone who ends up on 4chan isn’t all that desu
>>25011627Fact is, you can eat your bloodline back into "chad" shape.Now there are three problems for you of course. 1, you won't be a chad, 2, you need to find a woman, 3, you both have to eat high nutrient foods for about four years before conceiving.
>openly defies the most powerful entity in existenceWould it be fair to say that Milton's Satan/Lucifer is the bravest character ever thought of?
>>25010126I heard that Lucifer was actually the epithet of some unrelated king that Isaiah was criticizing or prophesying the downfall of or something
>>25010015Nimrod, the "First Atheist", was a Chad too. Satan and him should had team up.

>>25011217You cannot trust a God who says "I will love and forgive anyone, no matter who you are and what you've done, as long as you love and forgive each other" unless God proves it by loving and forgiving even someone who has betrayed God.Love and forgive your neighbor, and you will see Judas in Heaven.

>>25010520You might just like Metaphysical Poetry in general. There is a good penguin anthology.

>>25000362if you view it as a prescription, then sure, it's vague and nonspecificBut as a philosophy it's perfectly fine and I think just about everyone "gets" itIn short, when facing a decision pick the one that aligns closest to how we and other animals like us are built. above all else, avoid artificial compromises to fulfilling those needs.
>>25009286Sounds like bullshit. You'd be dead within a year, if not a few months. Some people are predisposed to a prion disease, called Fatal Insomnia, that does exactly as it's name suggests. One day, one of their proteins just fold the wrong way, in such a way that causes any similar ones near it to do the same Ice-9 style, and suddenly they can no longer sleep for the rest of their short lives.

So, we've all had plenty of time to read it by now. I'm halfway in and pretty dissapointed desu.
Houellebecq is washed regardless of where you stand on his politics
>>25007987My impression was that this novel was supposed to be his version of Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann. A somber, serious tale of slow decline, with Schopenhauerian undertones, and elements of a family novel. I vaguely remember that he said something to this effect, about having read Thomas Mann.
finally getting pussy ruined him as an author.you really can't write well if you're happy.

>>25010805>there's an absolute fuckton of harem romance novels for men out there, but these subreddits are pretty good at highlighting the best onesI feel like 0 men read this shlock and it's all dykish lesbians and FTMs.
>>25010791Low quality gay thread. Women's romance is just le man either "gives up thing for me" or "does thing for me" and taken to the extreme. It appeals to their self-centeredness and their envy of man being master of the universe. Men's romance is simply the projection of the desire to understand the mysteries of women.

>>25011713I'm not pessimistic, I'm cynical. And I'm not a misanthrope: as a Christian I believe in forgiving those who hurt you and loving your fellow man. However that doesn't preclude the fact that most people are stupid or cruel or both; hence the cynicism.
