Going to a bookstore is like going to a gym or a coffee shop. You are explicitly trying to socialize. We live in a wold of the epub file, audio books, amazon fucking prime, shut the fuck up with your bookstore lmao. You're probably literally in a shopping mall too.

I went to Barnes and Nobles 4 weeks ago and all it was filled with was a bunch of retards getting in my way with smug grins. Was damn near ready to catch a felony, but I left.

Stupid bitch. Buy a cheapo tablet and download. I download all of mine. Welib. Anna's Archive. Ocean of PDF. And so many others. If I paid for all of mine just from last year, I would be paying about $800 if I bought them new. The only time I would buy is if it's a favorite, which none of the books last year fit. I've only bought four total and that was years ago.

>b-b-but muh physical smell! muh physically turn the pages
Don't care, didn't ask. Give me a cheap tablet that I only use for reading, only connect online to my cloud drive where I save my ebooks and download, turn off wireless. I can take all my books with me so they don't take up a lot of space.

So basically those guys are low status and they're in her vicinity and there's nothing stopping them from walking around her even though she is comparatively higher status. That's the social commentary she's making.
"Performative male" is a derisive term for them not because she thinks the world revolves around her, but because her worldview revolves around status, and it's offensive to her that the lower caste is mingling with the higher caste. It's as if they believe that they're entitled to breathing the same air as her, in the same way that an actual performative male does.

I didn't realise when normies give advice that you should go to bookstores and libraries to meet women what they really meant was "loiter around". Ive read hundreds of books, but i always just go inside, find the book i want, borrow/buy it, leave.
Same thing for other hobbies. If i'm in a choir or a martial arts class or a foreign language class, i dedicate 100% of the time at the hobby to the hobby itself and end up making 0 friends or connections. But i do get really good at the specific hobby.

Plus physical books mog the shit out of epubs and stuff. And why would i pay for shipping when i can just go to the bookstore/library on my way to/from work/uni/gym?

How is it legal to record people minding their own business and accuse them of stalking/harassment?
>>
>>83697141
Yes, when they give advice about going to a public place, they do mean to loiter around and accost women in public. That's not something they do or ever will do, because in their lives things just fell into place for them, but it's something they assume is going on because their just world hypothesis falls apart if they don't.

>If i'm in a choir or a martial arts class or a foreign language class, i dedicate 100% of the time at the hobby
This is because you're not an insane retard.
Insane retards are retarded enough to take advice without understanding if there's any wisdom behind it, and they are driven insane by the way that the world operates the way their instincts expect but contrary to their worldview.

>Plus physical books mog the shit out of epubs and stuff.
Not for searchability, storage, portability, etc
>And why would i pay for shipping when i can just go to the bookstore/library on my way to/from work/uni/gym?
Because you're limited by what is on offer there, for starters, and the convenience of shipping is still paid for by the labor of your commute.

From a normalnigger's perspective, they really do envision themselves as just loitering around and having things happen to them for no reason. They really think it's normal for random women to approach guys out of nowhere and that it has nothing to do with the fact that they're 6ft+ and in good shape. It's as easy as breathing for them.
>>
>>83697327
Yes i was shocked by how little people care about a hobby at any given hobby group. Like in the choir i'm in, at practice 80% of people will constantly be on their phones, not paying attention, talking over the conductor, but as soon as practice is over they go to a bar and get drunk. It's like the hobby is an excuse for them to go get drunk 3 times a week. And these are mid-30s or older people with wives, husbands children... Getting wasted in bars on tuesday nights.

>Not for searchability, storage, portability, etc

Of the most attractive hobbies listed in your picture, I do reading (mostly mathematics and philosophy), foreign languages, playing the guitar (acoustic and electric), woodworking (I run a local club), writing (well, as my job), gardening (I have a house), swimming (I do triathlons) and hiking (I build my own mountain bikes and hike with them).

I remember going through the magazines, reading through all the issues of video game magazines trying to get the latest info. There was a lot of sealed magazines that included demo discs and previews so you couldn't read those, but there was usually open magazines you could read.
I would loiter there for an hour+ when I was 8-12, my mom could drop me off at the book store and come back with a cart full of groceries and tell me to help unload them into the car.

What this poll actually means:

Women know all the ones in the top list seem cultured and high class and thus declaring that they're attracted to men who do that sort of thing will make themselves seem classy. If they admitted that yeah they are most attracted to degenerate lowlives who spend their time drinking, gambling, and doing drugs, then they'd seem trashy instead of classy.

I've long been interested in learning how to sing properly like as I've seen from clips in an opera. I really have no instrumental talent but I think with enough practice I could have a really decent average baritone voice to sing classically with. For no other reason than to sing karaoke or in the shower/driving by myself. However every music club, acapella group, etc in highschool then college tossed me out because I was coming in with nothing.

Disagree about the gym, quite a lot of people go there because having the same equipment and facilities at home is infeasible.
People who hang out in cafes after they have their coffee in hand are probably open to socializing, but most people are just buying coffee and planning to go. So chatting up someone just waiting in line may be misguided.

People who linger and browse in bookstores, however, are 100% there to look and be seen. If you just want to read or buy a book, online options are superior in essentially every way. With very few and rare exceptions, people are going to a bookstore in hopes of finding another person who likes to read or buy books.
