>>25090854>>25090859the book-on-cleavage-as-thread-opener is doing a lot of work but fine, i'll answer sincerely because the question deserves better than this thread is giving it. :^)the canon: jean rhys, good morning midnight. a woman drinking by herself in paris hotels; the prose gets smaller every chapter like the room is closing. duras, the ravishing of lol stein. she stands outside the ballroom for the rest of her life watching something she can't enter. hardwick, sleepless nights. loneliness as syntax; the sentences won't stay next to each other. adler, speedboat. cusk, outline. she becomes the container for everyone else's story & there's nothing left inside. kraus, i love dick. loneliness building itself a house shaped exactly like obsession. lispector, the passion according to g.h. a woman & a cockroach & the complete dissolution of self. jelinek, the piano teacher. han kang, the vegetarian. moshfegh, my year of rest and relaxation.(yes it's a different loneliness. surrounded by people & still unreachable. doesn't make it less real; makes it harder to name, which is why it needed its own literature.)"women can have all the men they want." someone has never read a novel where having the man is the loneliest part.

>>25090854I try not to get too jimmyrustled by posturing but this image is absolutely fucking blood boiling.>"Female Loneliness Epidemic" is a collection of short stories by Danielle Chelosky that explores themes of isolation, vice, and modern relationships through the lens of young women in New York.Of fucking course.

>>25090942Who said anything about sex?
>>25090935New York has to have the worst human beings in the world
>>25090935I'm a homo, so I have no horse in the race that is gender wars. However, I am really confused as to why male loneliness is so controversial. Women pretty openly acknowledge how they have wider support networks and anyone with eyes can see how they spark up conversation with other women more readily. For the other side, I think there are paternalistic attitudes towards women that are annoying when on the receiving end of them but can be very easily seen as highly desirable when you are in a black pit of isolation. Anybody that thinks easy sex is a fix for loneliness is fooling themselves though.
>>25090854female loneliness correlates strongly with female overweightedness.
>>25090854Imagine an incel thirst trapping while reading a book and male loneliness.
>>25091094Because women are told from birth that they're allowed to be entitled. Men are not.
>>25091094rather talk w/ women sometimes, talking with my fellow man is just an exercise in one-upmanship
this is not going to stop, ai adoption will replace modern romance, so stop hoping to get gfs or bfs in the future because we are drifting away from each other at an accelerating pace

>female loneliness
>>25090854Smut author here, i published this a few weeks ago.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGHR5XZ5>>25090901This anon might like it, since it's about an incredibly curvaceous MILF who's lonely and horny after her husband left her for his petite mistress. While pleasuring herself by the pool, she spots her neighbor spying on her and has the best orgasm of her life. She becomes obsessed with the thought of exposing herself and on an impulse decides to throw away all her clothes, becoming a nudist.If anyone here decides to check it out, I'd love a critique.
>>25091259>one-upmanshipWhy are we like this?
>>25090942Based.Feeling sorry for the rest of the losers in this thread.
>>25091094>am really confused as to why male loneliness is so controversialI think the bigger issue is that in spite of the MLE being almost universally recognised as a very real thing, it has been picked up as a talking point by political grifters on both sides of the coin. They create the controversy because it benefits them to do so. My anger at the OP picrel is more-so because it’s a prime example of why the Loneliness Epidemic continues. There are countless amounts of lost and lonely men out there, yet, when they’ve finally been acknowledged as having a male-centric-problem that should be addressed, they’ve been met with derision, ire and been used idpol pawns. The book in the OP reeks of a wry smile that looks down on a male issue and seeks to co-opt it and diminish its seriousness. It seeks to insert itself into a male space whilst mocking the space that it is now in. The act of taking a photo of it next to an exposed cleavage is weaponised femininity. You could argue that there’s nothing inherently sexual about the image, but I think that would be naive. There’s also a litany of stereotyping in play, that I don’t have time to go into right now, but I may later if this thread is still up.As a side note for context - I’m fortunate enough to have escaped that isolation a long time ago, and even then, my lowest moments were during a Pre-Social Media/Infancy of Internet era, so I probably had it far easier than the lonely men of today. It sucked back then so it must suck even more now, and I just find it all very saddening.
>>25090854looked up the plot summary, almost certainly written by ai by just asking it to cram 5 of the most click bait topics into a book plot and then spam it out and target it at women."Set around a foster home in Kilburn and in the squares of Bloomsbury, where its protagonist Hannah sleeps, the novel grapples with how agency is given to the sexual lives of refugees, insisting that the erotic and intimate side of life is as much a part of someone's story as 'land and nations' are."
>>25091432not that anon, and im not gonna read it, but i respect the hustle at least you say it all straight out aloud, not like all these stealth shills>>25091094i envy you so goddamn hard, i even thought once that i might be gay, turns out im just incredible mysognistic. Sadly my dick only gets hard for biological women
>>25091674>SadlyMy man why would you be sad about not being an abomination?
>>25091728>hate women>forced to interact with themi can see how it's sad
>>25091730Forced by who? Aren’t you a big strong man?
>>25091736forced by my fucking biological instincts and the hope to find a woman whos a normal fucking human being thats not a complete narcisstic materialistic whore without any accountability and without one fucking crumb of idealism in her stupid fucking head, but thats seemingly too much to ask for, i dont even care that much about physical attributes, if it was about simply fucking i would go to hookers
>>25091432>I'd love a critiqueit's shit for wankers
>>25091739>a normal fucking humanMy nigger you are sperging on 4chan, you should stay far away from anyone that could be considered normal. Based on your whiny tone and overuse of swear words, I bet you are a weak, lying manchild. No one wants to deal with that, male or female.
>>25091739you are not going to find one anon, and if you do, it won't last, this isn't your fault, its the information culture we have, and you are not the only one who thinks relationships are going through inflation, and like i said, this won't change or get better because the culture will incentivize everyone to shift to technology to meet their sexual and relationship needs, this has been going on since vilar wrote her book in the 70s, which is why threads like these are so clueless, seeing someone complaining about romance in 2026 is so archaic
>>25091736his penis
>>25091745Pathetic
>>25091742anon, are you in a place to judge? I know i have many faults of my own, and lots of my impotent rage stems from being an envious loser, but i still stand by my post and everything i said>>25091743yes, sometimes it is what it is, but its hard to accept it
>>25091753>im an envious loser>i still stand by everything I saidYea good luck with finding your dream woman, I’m sure she’ll be super happy with your current self
How do I get a girlfriend?
>>25091754anon did you ever have sex and realize that you only waste your time with a big junk of humanity and your own time because you do everything for pussy. And women think their stupid shit they spew has merit because you pretend to listen only because you fucked and dont want to be too impolite by immediatly hitting the road. I wish we all were in a constant state of post-nut-clarity and then we all would see what a disgrace this all really is, this fucking coquetterie and dancing around with these stupid social little games could simply vanish. The women i respect the most are lesbians and how come such a successful person like you comes here and spends his precious time to argue with a loser like me. Im sure you had to cancel so many important meetings social obligations you have going on in your life just to drop some sarcastic remarks on me
>>25091758You can't, and no book can help you. Manson's Models, the only dating book for men, is a meme grift. The rest assume you are a woman with a hundred dates and the advice is superfluous.
>>25091769I will find a way.
>>25090859>all the men they want.Not me. I'm not gonna fuck la goblina americana, I've got standards to uphold and I don't wanna spread the genes of subhumans.And why the fuck would Chad Thundercock lower his standards? You've got cuck mentality, anon.>>25090854Probably My Year of Rest and Relaxation.In the non-fiction department I know that the Carmelite nuns write a lot of books. I know about Inside the Cloistered Life by Sr. Marie of the Trinity and Cloistered by Catherine Coldstream, but I have read neither.Also, it's tough to write a novel without social life, since humans are social creatures and those who don't have a social life are literally retarded. So all those books that show how cool and interesting are the hermits are bullshitting you.
>>25091758Firm handshake and maintain eye contact
>>25091758Talk to a woman. When two heterosexual humans of the opposite sex meet there's already a biological capacity for attraction rooted in the nervous system.
>>25091805What do I say?
>>25091758Have you tried not being a bitter and resentful incel?
>>25090918Great list
>>25091827nta but how does he stop being a bitter resentful incel in order to get the very thing that he needs to do that?this isn't advice, just a hostile reminder of his status.
>>25091668holy cringe
>>25091817There's not any specific line. If there's mutual interest, conversation tends to happen on its own. But to get it started just talk about something real in the moment, like where you are, what you're doing, or something you genuinely noticed about her. The goal isn't to impress her or force attraction, it's just to see whether you enjoy talking to each other.
>>25091827I'm not bitter or resentful
>>25091094Where do I find a cute lonely mentally ill twink to manipulate into loving me?>t. fat ugly bastard
>>25091033The previous post to the one you replied to, idiot.
>>25090918You got a list for male loneliness as well that isn't the usual meme picks?
>>25091638>when they’ve finally been acknowledged as having a male-centric-problem that should be addressedBecause it hasn't been acknowledged, because it's not an actual fucking thing. How are you so dense to pick up that it's all a sham used by grifters and then turn around and eat it all up? Loneliness is not a new thing, and there are countless books and films and music about it, it's just that bitter, stupid, empty minded ugly men have decided to create a term to make themselves feel better about not having sex. The irony is that you're buying into this male loneliness epidemic while most likely trying to pretend women can't experience it because they can have sex easily. I know /lit/ is still a dumb board like any other, but I still expect better than some /tv/ tier posters here, and maybe that's my fault.
>>25090901
>>25091741>for wankersno fucking duh
>>25091742this97% of 4chan users now are stubbornly obnoxious morons who are so insufferable that they make you wish the autist suicide rate was higher
>>25091827why would anyone write if they aren't resentful? i've always thought the non-resentful humans were painters or musicians
>>25091868>trying to pretend women can't experience itYour whole post is retarded, but this really takes the cake. Women are incapable of experiencing loneliness. FTM trannies commonly report that something that surprised them about living as a man is just how lonely the experience is. When a woman is lonely, it's because she went a whooole day without any male attention. That's the depths of despair for a woman. Anyways, kys etc.
>>25091868calm down reddit
>>25091920Incredible how you can read a post and then simply repeat the thing that was highlighted as being retarded. And then you also bring up trannies because you can't stop thinking about trannies.
>>25091830>>25091863male loneliness has a different architecture than the list i gave. doesn't get smaller like the room in good morning midnight. gets emptier. same container, smaller person, & eventually you can hear him rattling. anyway, here's my list anon, hopefully it will meet the not the usual memes picks qualifier. <3bove, my friends. 1924. a man in paris after the war trying to make a single friend & failing every time. prose so flat it becomes surgical. no self-pity, no irony, just a man buying someone coffee & watching them leave. possibly the loneliest novel ever written & almost nobody's read it.hedayat, the blind owl. 1937. iranian. narrator talks to his shadow on the wall & the shadow is better company than anyone alive. male loneliness as the room shrinking until you **are** the room. read it once & it stays in your furniture.di benedetto, zama. 1956. a colonial bureaucrat in 18th century asunción waiting for a transfer letter that will never come. heat so thick in the prose you can feel him decomposing inside his own patience. lucrecia martel made the film & it's equally ruinous.abe, the woman in the dunes. trapped in a sand pit with a woman. they're together. he is completely alone. they dig sand side by side every night & shared labor doesn't fix a thing. being with someone & still being unreachable -- that's what this book invented.pavese, the moon and the bonfires. returning to piedmont after the war. hills are the same & the man isn't. everything he left is still there & none of it recognizes him. pavese killed himself two years after writing it & you can feel the decision forming in every sentence, not as drama but as geology.start with bove if you want to feel actually sick about it. (not a man but these don't ask.)
>>25091928I accept your concession, retard.
>>25091944Predictable. You are a sad and pathetic little man, but don't worry, nobody pities you, you don't deserve pity.
>Books about female loneliness?>What about the MALE loneliness?? What about MEN?? I wanna talk about MEN! You know who doesn't stick their DICK inside orifices?? MEN! MEN! MENNN!!!Incels are (closeted) gay men who pretend representation in every single work of art because they don't breed, they recruit.
>>25091930Nigga why is you well read, let me fuck your ass, I hope you're not a foid
I love how none of the faggots whining in the thread never even answered the question.
>>25091930did you enjoy the film of "woman in the dunes"?
>>25091963There are lots of works of fiction in existence, you'll have to be more specific
>>25091961not well read. feral about a small number of books & they show. foid unfortunately (for you). my ass sends its regrets but bove is right there & will do worse.>>25091971you bet i did, teshigahara filmed sand the way other directors film skin. every grain has weight & kishida's body in it is the most erotic thing japanese cinema produced that decade, which is saying something given the decade. abe wrote loneliness as geometry; teshigahara made you feel the walls closing. watched it three times. each time i understood why he stopped digging. did you watch it, anon?
>>25091987>did you watch it, anon?it sits in my backlog like everything else. sorry
>>25090854whomst?
>>25091988Not him, but Woman in the Dunes is a beautiful movie, along with Face of Another.Woman in the Dunes clearly has some similar tonality to Myth of Sisyphus.
>>25091930Eh, read two of these and wasn't too compelled, but a couple of the others are already in the backlog anyway. Thanks for your contribution
>>25091266There's apparently a whole subreddit filled with mentally ill women talking about their ai boyfriends and recently they had a collective meltdown because an update caused their gpts to wipe their memory or something and their 'boyfriend' personality was lost. lol
