Tell me you guys haven't been doing this.>at bookstore with zoomer coworker on our lunch break>zoomer is illiterate, is talking to me about how someone told him he has a third-grade reading level and how he didn't even know what that meant, or how to improve it >looool>I hand him The Hobbit and tell him to start there >fast forward a few weeks and I found out he’s been regularly visiting the bookstore>I’m pretty happy, ask him how he liked The Hobbit and what else he’s been reading>Zoomer tells me he never actually bought it, or bought any books there at all>?????? >”Zoomer-kun, you’ve been coming here multiple times a week, and you haven't bought anything?”>”…no”>”Are you reading the books here like it’s a library?”>…no. I've actually been coming here to try and meet women. I feel like this would be a good place to meet a wifey haha”>???????????? >“Zoomer-kun, what do you even say to them? How do you start up a conversation if you haven't read anything?”>he shrugs>”Usually I just go up to them and say something like ‘hey, do you know about reading? I'm trying to get into this reading shit, but I don’t know where to start?”Ummmmm… how about you start with Hooked on Phonics, NIGGA!
I know this is a shitpostI know this never happenedIt still makes me mad
>>25222656This happened. No he hasnt had any luck. He is short and Mexican (I am not) and I don't think art hoes like that.
>>25222658>He is short and MexicanLooks like you've identified the problem, sure enough it has nothing to do with readingIf not for those qualities they'd be thrilled to teach him phonics between mouthfuls of cock

>>25222650>I'm trying to get into this reading shit, but I don’t know where to start?lmao fire fucking pickup line actually
>>25222718honestly true lol. I will say the most random shit to girls and if they think I'm cute they'll respond positively it doesn't even matter
>>25222718>>25223353Yeah I'm sure this shut is really cute if it’s from a broccoli headed teenager, not a 26 year old Mexican manlet working blue collar

>>25222650zoomers can't into authenticity due to living a life centered around fake trivial imagery. They have picked up that if everyone is equal then inexperience is a virtue in men also, and this can be exploited to make themselves more quirky and memorable, so they are preserving their book reading virginity, indeed all kinds of virginity, to promote womenz/anybody the wish to take it from them. Like some attention-whoring fetish gone mad. Male weakness is being pushed so hard zoomer men feel they can ONLY get social accolades for helping cross it over from socially acceptable to mandatory. It is pushed so that men are redefined into beings that compromise on all their ideals all the time just so women can be free to easily exploit them without any downside to any life choices ever. Zoomers are trying to keep expectations low so they don't have to suffer the worst of this or live up to anything beyond playing games and gaming a system that they feel only games them, be it gaming a social system or work system or family hierarchy.
>>25222650Can you get me a job there
>>25222658> He is short and MexicanIt's funny you say this but I instantly knew it from reading the story. Approaching random broads at a bookstore is a very Mexican/ Pajeet coded thing to do.
>>25225240when I first read the OP I pictured him as Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite before I even knew he was mexican
