Some of them do. I'm bookish, introverted, not great looking, short and scrawny, pale, and yet I've never had much trouble attracting girls. If you're good at making eye contact, attentive, humorful, and unafraid of rejection you'll do just fine even if you're ugly like me. That's why all the r9k whining on here has always confused me. In my experience women are turned off my muscly Chads. They find them too simple and obnoxious.

Women don't like real romance.

They like fictional romance, because everything is always perfect, it is always just the right moment, the gorgeous, perfect picture of masculinity shows rare signs of emotion and fragility behind his rock-hard statuesque presence, while the woman is... well, a nobody with nothing about her that really stands out, because she is an author/reader self-insert that this ultimately superior (yet brooding and troubled) masculine man fawns over her and becomes even more impressive and passionate in his attempts to further impress her and win her over.

In reality, you are not the powerful, rich, bodybuilder supermodel prince from women's romance novels. You, an average dude at best, fawning over her and buying her tons of gifts and desperately trying to earn her respect just come off as, well, desperate and pathetic. It's one step away from calling her "milady" and kissing her hand or tipping your fedora.

In fiction, sure. Everything always works in fiction. Classic romance actually fits in fantasy-land. In reality, it's just awkward, and it's obvious that no one behaves like that, so you're clearly putting on an act and presenting yourself as not being socially successful, in fact drawing lots of strange looks and negative attention, lowering her social status by proxy.

>Women love romantic guys
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Women love romantic characters in their media. In reality, they love guys who treat them casually and see themselves as superior to her, because it indicates social acceptability/success and the potential to increase her social standing.

Men need substance. If you're showing a man a poem, he's looking for deeper meaning. What is the intended idea the poem is centered around? Is this an original and thought-provoking idea? Is it a poignant observation or analysis that is often overlooked? Perhaps it is meant to reveal or provide a glimpse into a darker or hidden element of our society that we wear smiles and masks to hide...
These are the things men want in poetry, if they are the type of men who care enough to analyze it and actually try to "taste" the different "flavours" mixed together as they consume the poem.

Average women love poetry wholesale, even if it's shallow tripe, because they love the *fact* that it is poetry, and the *idea* of "liking poetry" implies that you are emotionally intelligent, thoughtful, and a "deeper person". When it comes to the kind of poetry women love, they like pretty words and flowery language that provides an element of surface-level beauty. But they only want that beauty. They don't care about ugly things like "social commentary" or "religious metaphor" or "deeper underlying irony". Reading between the lines is something they find too hard to bother learning, so they don't really need to look into a poem. If it sounds pretty, then they like it, which means they like poetry, which means they can tell everyone they like poetry for extra female social-status points. They consume a poem in one gulp and always say it tastes "good".

Once in a while you'll meet a thoughtful woman who actually likes to analyze poetry, break it apart, put it back together, and understand that a poet/author chooses every single word carefully, placing them each in a precise order, for a specific reason. A sentence may convey the same surface-level information no matter how you phrase it or rearrange the words, but an avid gourmand of poetry will look at the exact way the author chose to arrange the words in that sentence, then analyze it to understand exactly what the author was trying to convey by wording the sentence the way they did. For instance:
>I remember...
and
>I still remember...
Both mean the same thing on the surface, someone remembers something. But deeper, that word "still" has HEAVY implications of longing, nostalgia, it places a sense of timeline, of determination either through a passion that can't be doused or a spite that won't be tamed. It whispers under its breath: "...And nothing you can do will make me forget". If you find a girl who can actually understand what makes good poetry good and bad poetry bad, don't fucking let her go.

I see your point. However, I did dedicate her another poem later on, although it wasn't written by me.
I was about to leave town for a couple of weeks and left on my farewell I left her another poem, specifically, Shakespeare's 17th sonnet, because it fit my feelings for her. She was very appreciative of it, and lamented not having a poem of her own to give me.

>they like pretty words and flowery languag
literally all i do in my poems. its like mystical and stuff at times but the point is always just 'make a pretty thing', the mystic stuff is just beauty in a different way. My understanding of religion is extremely shallow because it is centred around beauty.

I sometimes wonder if my mind is somehow a girl's mind. I also listen to female pop music all the time, and am just sort of soft. I have no body dysmorphia though, i have a fairly masculine body and am content in it.

You should probably look into becoming gay, or at least experimenting. Even the average "bookish" or "intellectual" girl will think you're gay, and still prefer a higher degree of obvious maculinity for partners.

That, or, define your masculinity through your power of intellect and artistry. Refine your poetry, don't be afraid of burying deeper meanings within it. Make your poetry actually SAY something of substance, instead of just talking pretty words. If you show a girl a poem and you're like "isn't it pretty?" and she's like "omg SO pretty!", you will fucking erase her panties once you start to explain how the poem is not just pretty, but breaks down the idea of "pretty", showcasing the beauty of everything we know about how we look at things, especially things that we might take as "ugly" at first glance. Once girls (who are interested in such aristic things) see that you have a deeply thoughtful artistic element behind your writing, once they see that your poems actually have your SOUL in them, they will not just find your poetry pretty - they will find it awe-inspiring, and see you as a brooding artistic genius full of endless beauty within your mind, instead of just some guy with a girly mind that likes pretty things because they're pretty.

i cant be with anyone right now because im really really fucked up, but in the past girlfriends would occasionally comment that i was a bizarre mix of femininity and masculinity, because I am masculine in some ways, like I fight people, but I dont think it turned them off. My favorite activity with girls is drinking and listening to music with them, there would be no point being with them if i couldnt do that.

I understand what you're saying I guess. Artistic depth. Im not deep i guess. Even when Im reading stuff like Tolstoy or listening to Handel or something, it is always just about very basic feelings of beauty or love.

This comes down to two things: money and looks. If you have one of them, you can do many things and rise high in life, if you have both, you could rise high above your lowliness. If you are average in both or poor, then I’d say you need something more.

Nothing. You die alone. When people are attracted to each other they make it easy to be intimate with each other, they naturally gravitate closer and look for opportunities to talk.

social status is a function of both wealth and emotional intelligence, and it's by far the most important part of attractiveness for women. You can't just be rich, or just be hot. They're useful but you have to incorporate them in a viable social image.

I was very popular up until 10th grade or so, the change is surreal. It was so natural to just have people and girls to just sort of end up together without either being the "approacher"

If things aren't falling into place naturally it's just not going to work.

This dude is the opposite of my experience, total loser who became chad and can't deal with how arbitrary emotional attachment becomes. He talks alot about having a "deep" conversation with a girl and they always say they love him after, as if it's a revelation to them that he's hot and human, when they obvious don't know what love is.

If someone is trying to laugh at something to hide it, they arent trying to put on an act. They want to fool themselves. So theyll go through the motion of what theyre doing, versus, someone putting on an act who is only doing this thing to fool others but not themselves. There is less of an incentive to go through the motion, because it is easier to fool others than yourself. You can get away with half-assing with others

Because again it indicates that in reality he IS and dating him lets her climb the social latter. She doesn't care about love, she cares about snagging a guy out of her league because it makes her look good and presumably he's attractive.

Oh I misread that

I wouldnt buy what that anon is saying, but nearly all women I know have insecurity as a central part of their life. Many of them enter, and stay, in relationships only because it relives that insecurity. That could be just anyone will do because they dont want to be alone, to numerous other things, like wanting a "superior" person who is always optimistic, cheerful, and confident to distract them from their own miserable, pessimistic, neurotic selves

Im not saying all women are miserable, pessimistic, and neurotic, but I have met a few where their insecurity shows up in this way. Its no different than a male incel

All men with girlfriends have at least two of these three: Height, face and frame.

Yes, but it has to be from passion, not dilettantism. Women can sniff the latter out as well as anyone else, and I see all too many tryhard dilettantes fail because they loudly talk about /lit/core books everyone knows they should have read.

If you have real interests, though, then it will show. You will be talking about authors and ideas most people *haven't* heard of, and that will be perceived as a real sign of passion (and not just putting on airs).

Those are feminine traits. You want a woman to be shy, introverted, well read in entertaining topics and romantic to be able to get her heart with kitsch.

Men should be dominate, extroverted (at least to a degree), crafty and stoic.

Because the biological value in men is beeing a protector and profider, which a higher social status is a good indicator for. Women on the other hand fullfill the role of mothering and birthing, of which beaty is the best indicator (waist-to-hip-ratio, titties, clear skin, thick hair, ...). Therefore women don't need a high social status to be seen as top tier mating material, while a men can never truly hold a women simply by looks, as beeing "pretty" is not his evoutionary main role.

You're headed in the right direction, but you've gone too far and wandered right off Blackpill Cliff into Nihilism Lake, smacking yourself into numerous tree branches of pessimism on the way down. An overwhelming majority of people, including women, derive more enjoyment from others liking them than actually liking others. Most people prefer to be around people that find them funny rather than those they find funny, for example.

Demonstrating that you enjoy having someone in your life drives them to want to stay there. While it is true that you should never indicate you are dependent on their presence, your post implies you shouldn't do anything to show you're even happy that they're there. Being romantic means you're a good enough fit for her that you know what she'll like AND that you like her enough to do it; it's when beta guys fuck it up by emulating fiction like you said that shows you may like her enough, but you're not a good fit for her and she is turned off.

I'm actually a married woman (non-male). There is no reason in beeing salty about simple biology and dimorphism of the sexes. Most young guys mix up the traits they find attractive in women and simply thing having them themselves will make them just as attractive. Which makes them look and act effeminate. I dated a couple /lit/ guys and after the "wew, nice new toy" couple days it was just boring beyong measure. They also never really gotten their shit together family-wise so def no long-term material if it already looks like I would need to work while preggo to pay for us both.

Yes, because nobody who reads nonfiction would refer to their "favorite authors", because it's not their ability to write which is at the top of your mind.

Sure, so have guys. A set of women to get offspring (mary like in behaviour and deeds) and another set of women they like to do the most degenerate things with.

Well, if I would sound and act like the average woman I wouldn't be here in the first place.

I think sexual hormones through hormornal birth control (which are shown to change sexes in aquatic animals and make human offspring more likely to be homosexual) also influences the psyche of the sexes. Further it has been shown that behaviour matters. When women dress more feminine, men act more like actual "gentlemen" towards them and feel a higher desire to be masculine. When women fall for androginity memes because fashion designers are degenerate faggots, men will not see them as fragil females but unisex blobs, making them less likely to behave distinctivvly male. What we get is a fully fucked up society.

And last but not least I would recommend "Biohistory" by Penman. It's about how epigenetical changes through societal "wellbeeing" influences the potential for sexual distinctivness and even the probability of war through. It's such a deep topic but sadly non of it gets talked about because we're already to deep down spiraling into another Weimar.

Truly patrician.

If you're by any change german speaking check also out "Söhne und Weltmacht. Terror im Aufstieg und Fall der Nationen" by Heinsohn. It's making a point about how birth rates, especially of males, lead to conflict and war. But it's also getting partially picked up by Penman.

The academic version has more numbers and deeper insights as well as explanations where the popular version simply tastes the facts. They are both up there for free.

Actually my wife and I are planning to have several baby girls so future generations of BLACK males will have white women they could BLACK. The plan is to make her pregnant, and if we realize the baby is male we abort it, and if it is a girl we keep it. We will keep doing it several times until we have at least 3 white girls. I feel so sorry for my wife as she will have to stop being BLACKED for the few months I get her pregnant, as I want to be 100% sure the baby girls will be white. It is a sacrifice she has to make.

>looks are personality
Of course, how you give yourself is the mirror of your personality. But most people, if at healthy weight and otherwise biologically fit, are good looking. Most people are ugly because of their diet, lack of exercise or taste of fashion. Sure, manlets and goblins exist, but they are mostly the product of miscegenation of non matching phenotypes or drugs.

Throughout my neo-boomer life I, 8/10, have seen like only a handfull of really ugly people, the others mostly only mirrored their character and health. So it's not really a "blackpill". People only need to get their shit together. Even chinlets are mostly due to a bad diet, see mewing. Attractivness matters because people can see everything which is evolutionary important about you at first sight.

Most women's understanding of what "romantic" means has fuckall to do with the actual romantic movement, and more about the bastardisation of the word in the modern film industry and Jane Austen derivatives (though Austen was pretty damn good).

I'm very much like you, honestly.

I personally get really obsessive over prose. If the prose isn't flowery and is really dry, then I can't get into it no matter how good the philosophical ideas of that work are. This is why I personally can't stomach Tolstoy, as his writing style is so matter-of-fact. If all I was wanted deep philosophy, I would read an actual non-fictional philosophical text. The role of fiction, I believe, is to go beyond reality and entrance the soul through wonder and whimsy. If deeper philosophical ideas are discussed within that work, great, but the work being beautiful and sublime is infinitely more important.

I've just come to accept at this point that I'm a sappy, effeminate man deep down despite the stoic image I project in public.

Not the anon that your replied to but if it's any consolation most of the young guys who like to think of themselves as being "stoic" are actually the opposite and are led around by their emotions constantly. Watch a "stoic" guy get into a talk about politics, for example. They unravel just like all the rest. There's so much emotion around these days... This is what happens when people make excuses to avoid doing serious introspective work on themselves because they;re too busy chasing down all the other people around them. It's a collective mania of self-avoidance.

Oh believe me, I'm not """"stoic"""" in the /pol/ sense of the word. I really just mean that in the sense that I'm apathetic and laid back towards everything, even under stressful circumstances. I also think political dick measuring is a waste of time. Despite this, I get incredibly emotional over artistic and natural beauty. I would go as far as to say that it's the only thing that can really provoke a strong emotional reaction from me.

Attempting to reconcile my feminine love of the sublime and melodramatic and my masculine indifference is a daily struggle for me-- Especially since we live in a world almost wholly lacking in any form of romanticism or sincerity.

I saw the movie Saturday Night Fever at a young age (I'm younger than 25), and I found it really remarkable how it combined a glorified vision of late 70's pop culture with what is a really sentimental and tragic story of loss amidst all the glamour. The BeeGees were a kind of running joke in pop culture and maybe deservedly so for the gratuitously silly falsetto, but I feel that the film really captured something beautiful that not many people understood, that feels more advanced and relevant and 'ahead' than films from our own time.

In other words, I feel what you mean.

There was also a kind of flavor to the popular music then with a noticeably wide variety of folk influences, like how artists from the West coast might have clear traces of Spanish or American folk music all across their sound. That's not to say it's definitively better to have influences, but we really ought to stop viewing progress in any form as linear, because it gives us this odd sense that certain things are "doomed to the past", ignoring that those people were just as intelligent as us, did things for the same reasons we do, and were at one point acting in the present in a world that is no less true than our own. Don't you think it's uncanny how people view their ancestors like a different species entirely? How they view some goofy photo of your dad in the 80's like a snapshot of a diffeeent reality?

I hope this is coming across right. A while back, I read (but did not finish) All The King's Men by Robert Pen Warren, and there's a chapter-or-two long digression where the protagonist comes to learn about his two relatives who lived through the Civil War. One had lived an easy life, didn't fight in the war at all, and afterwards struck it rich on his own plantation with a long and filling life built off the misery of others, while his brother (or possibly cousin) Cass Mastern was a hopeless romantic that fell in love with a woman at university he couldn't date within the confines of society (she was some other man's lover I think), and suddenly the war broke out and he went off to fight for the confederates and he died, and that was it. The section ends by saying that no matter what, there's both types of man in the world and regardless of era they're really the same at the core. And since then I haven't put as much emphasis on time.

I never finished the book, but it's a really beautiful one and if you're interested in some kind of sentimental and sort of 'powerful' modern literature I would recommend it.
