Are bookfags desired by women ?
>>25479294No. male /lit/fags are not the people women imagine them to be. (You) will NEVER be a college professor.
>>25479294NO. THE ANSWER HAS ALWAYS BEEN NO AND WILL FOREVER MORE REMAIN, NO. WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE THIS THREAD EVERY MOTHERFUCKING DAY. READING WILL NOT GET YOU LAID.
>>25479294Everyone who liked this tweet should be killed.
>>25479294Women say that like men who read because it makes them sound good. I say this without any amount of exaggeration, literally everything is about social optics in a woman's mind. The idea that you can believe something contrary to the mainstream short circuits their brain
>>25479294Yes, but as with any other interest or hobby, you need more. You can't JUST be a bookfag and expect women to flock to you. What do you think a gymcel is but a man whose only interest is in the gym and building muscle, while having nothing else to offer a potential partner?
>>25479294I've gotten laid because I read.
>>25479334Bros....

>>25479368What is it, bro?
>>25479373Believe what you want bozo
Attractive men who read are desired by women more than attractive gamers, however reading when you are not attractive doesn’t do much
>>25479393This. Reading is seen as a tie-breaker rather than an essential trait. Between a chad who doesn't read and a chad who does, the latter wins out 9/10 times.
>>25479392nta but I also get girls, I avoid mentioning it here because the concept is unfathomable to these people lol. I was potentially heading towards incel path when I discovered 4chan at like 15/16 y/o, but now I'm 35 and have developed as a person lol
>>25479386>gay bottom lingo adopted by lesbians adopted by LGBTQIA2S+ cis-women alliesThe nastiest people use that phrase. It should be grounds for an immediate state execution.
>>25479403Incels are just female men in the sense that they have no agency or sense of accountability like women. A strictly definitional incel is rare because you almost necessarilly need to be mentallu retarded or born with a chromosomal disorder.
>>25479444I mean I think that's just shitty selfish people. I know women with agency and accountability, although I will agree that it seems to work a bit differently lol. That's another thing I usually refrain from talking about here though lol.
>>25479345Yeah, it's an attractive quality when you're already attractive. Same for girls. More of a boost really.
Women want to cum, try reading a book about the female orgasm in public. Read bell hooks and Jane Austen in public while drinking matcha. Wear a scarf, glasses, a shirt “this is what a feminist looks like” and a skirt. You will be drowning in pussy. The more you signal that you’re not about toxic masculinity, the better.If you are a fan of toxic masculinity, then any book you read is going to be a turn-off. Cormac McCarthy is a red flag. Ayn Rand is a red flag. Gene Wolfe is a red flag. We see you fucking dorks at Barnes and Noble looking for your “based” authors. It gives women the ick.
>>25479294Bookchads are desired by women. If you’re a handsome guy, you being into literature (and I do mean literature, in my experience they find that much more appealing than genre fiction, science writing, or philosophy) will increase women’s interest in you. However, like I said, you have to be hot already, being literate is not going to make you attractive to women if you’re ugly, badly dressed, poorly socialised, short, etc. They would rather a hot sociable guy who can’t read than an ugly loser who loves Joyce. But if it’s between two comparably attractive men who are both capable of personal charm, women would rather you read than didn’t.This is of course assuming that she is middle or upper class because a lot of working class women, especially blacks in America, but more likely chavs in Britain, will probably assume you’re a bi/homosexual if you read books, which, given the demographics of this board over the years, is actually an astute observation on their part.
>>25479512>Cormac McCarthy is a red flag. Ayn Rand is a red flag. Gene Wolfe is a red flag.These authors (manchild lit and polemic slop) are red flags for people who read too, anon.
>>25479361How? Just struck up a conversation with a woman about a book and she liked you? Its hard for me to imagine a woman having sex with a man because he reads, unless she was already going to have sex with him before she knew that information.
>>25479529Newfag here. What's wrong with Cormac McCarthy?
>>25479512How does that fit together with the fact that women want to be beaten and raped by ripped Neanderthals?
>>25479522I read and write a lot, but mainly poetry. If I was physically attractive where would that land me? Ignoring for a moment that I'm in fact not physically attractive. I'm holding out hope for surgery and other corrections.
>>25479538wealth>>looks>>>>>>>>>>hobbiesif you're poor you'd still be bottom of the barrel
>>25479534He's a compelling novelist with a cult following. Many here are envious of the cult following, so they resent him for that, never admitting to themselves they are incompetent, talentless wizards.
>>25479585So it's just seething jealousy? I'm a third of the way through blood meridian and I think it's pretty cool so far
>>25479534NTA but in my opinion there is a massive, massive gulf between his style/technique and the actual substance of his novels. On a purely stylistic level he's up there with the very greatest American novelists; his most obvious influences are Melville and Faulkner, and while I wouldn't quite put him on that tier, he definitely approaches it.But when it comes to the actual meat of his books, their philosophical depth, the psychology of his characters, the emotional power of his scenes and images, he is, in my view, barely a step above someone like Stephen King. His work suffers immensely for it.
>>25479597I kind of see what you're getting at. Although I'm not familiar enough with him to be able to say that I agree. I'm having a lot of fun with BM right now at least
>>25479578>wealth above looksWomen don’t cheat on Chad so that they can get betabuxx
>>25479534A YouTuber made a video about Blood Meridian and now anon doesn't feel special for knowing who he is
>>25479589>So it's just seething jealousy?Yes, absolutely. DFW committed suicide, and people here are still envious of his success. It's insane.
>>25479294Women desire men who do what they want and don’t care what women think about it.>>25479444Incels are just radical feminists who believe the oppressed are men instead of women. That is why 3rd and 4th wave feminists hate them so much; they are a mirror they see themselves reflected in.
>>25479538You’d be fine with that, poetry would fall under that literature umbrella.
>>25479611lol
>>25479534McCarthy isn’t a red flag on the level of the other two, but he’s a little overrated (basically what >>25479597 said) and because he’s quite accessible (surface level exciting subject matter, relatively manageable book lengths) he attracts a lot of very baby’s first literary readers and genre readers who otherwise just read slop. He’s better than a lot of mid tier literary writers
>>25479535I think he’s being sarcastic and ironic about the kind of expectations he expects us litchuds to have on female expectations
>>25479578>>25479646Rich cuckold copium
>>25479294How do I get a boyfriend who reads literary fiction? Book clubs here read chicklit and “emergent” authors, and men don’t join them. Otherwise, all men I’ve met have retarded hobbies, like video games or playing in a band.Where do you people even hide?Hell, I’d date a lesbian woman, but all the ones I tried to meet are also into genre fiction slop, if they can even read. We’re in hell.
>twitter screencap thread
>>25479294Women desire money, photographs of food, and office jobs where they dictate pointless meetings that drag on for hours. Nothing else.
>>25481004Go to the library and leave your phone number inside the cover of your favorite books.
>>25481004Post your BMI. If it's low enough and you're willing to move to Tokyo and be my sex slave, I'll be your literary boyfriend. How much medieval literature have you read?
>>25481016who uses libraries except low iq poorfags?
>>25481016I don’t think anyone would call me if they don’t know I’m hot. And that’s too attention seeking for my taste.Even posting here is embarrassing. Looking for love and attention is innoble.>>2548102917, but I’m scared of sex and way too into modernism, so this will never work. I’m sorry anon, I was more than ready to throw my career away to fulfill your pedophilia fetish.
>>25481037yeah, a girl who isn't into sex? I have enough of those already.
>>25481037You're a humble soul. Wishing you the best.
>>25481036I like physical copies, so I don't pirate, and libraries help me save money. I also eat everyday from fast food value menus. I've saved up $10,000 over the last 10 years, but but went from 150 to 250 lbs at 5'9. Sacrificed my health for wealth. "No free lunch" as they say.
>>25479534He was ruined by having an annoying fanbase consisting of ben avery and sam tallent followers that love to pretend to read because they think it makes them better than other people and unique although they could never ever ever tell you about a book they think is good that they themselves discovered, it's all pre-approved and pre-selected. That being said McCarthy is great but his fanbase became insufferable.
>>25481089Seems like most of the negative sentiment around him here is due to external factors rather than his work itself. I do understand that annoying, faggoty fanbases become grating incredibly quickly, though
>>25479532Reading/literature became the main topic of discussion from the start.
>>25479619only good post itt
We have some variation of this thread every single fucking day. Why don't you, I don't know... Go out into the world and talk to women?
