When I worked at Barnes & Noble part-time a few years ago, almost everyone I worked with lied about reading or about what they read. At least three people said they had read The Count of Monte Cristo but coincidentally the only elements of the book they could remember were from the newest film adaptation, and they didn't even remember who Haydee was.

After the third try I stopped asking about that book to everyone because I figured it was embarassing for them. But it happened several other times with at least 5 other employees, really baffled me.

One time I had a copy of Will Durant’s “Story of Greece” with me and I was waiting in the hall for my class. This girl who looked like she might love books walked by and said, really enthusiastically, “What book is that?” I told her and she said, “Oh, I thought it was Harry Potter.” I got in my car and went home.

This is wrong. Most women are easily impressionable and swayed. I would never harm them because they are always being manipulated whether by slimey Jews or bad cultural trends. If a man cucked me, my issue would be precisely with the man. Taking the man's eye, or even his life, in recompense is just, which God would approve of. There should be no mercy towards adulterers. Thankfully, I have never experienced this during my life, but if you were to cuck me, I would, indeed, come for your life. I would also be sure to give you a slow, excruciating death.

I disagree entirely.

Most girls I dated and had sex/relationships with were boring one, at most, two-dimensional plebeians (this doesn't imply that I myself am not). But recently, one of my dates was actually very deeply into Tolstoy, Gogol and Dostoyevsky, and you could tell. Being a /lit/ dilettante, I realized that she was exactly what I was looking for. Fun times were had, we made out afterwards, but no sex (which is better in my view as it kept me wanting more). I subsequently ruin it with my awkwardness and over-texting because i kinda fell for her and thought she was the one

I've learned not to even bother. Some of them get kind of defensive about it as well.

I have literally never met someone my own age who was as well read I am, or if I have the subject of literature never came up. Most of the time when literature comes up, or I quote a book, most people look uncomfortable.
I'm not very well read either, I read maybe a book a month, but none of my friends read. Most girls seem to read a little bit but it's always shit like Rupi Kaur. My ex claimed to love Hemingway and have two of his novels and a collection of his stories on her shelf but she had only read one of the books.

I'm still fantasizing about sex with her bros. I know she will make me feel things I've never felt. I'm going to pull her in tightly and stare in her eyes while I cum in her. I'm going to feel something so intensely that it'll make me cry for the first time in a decade. I'm going to cry in her arms post-sex, if she isn't mad that I came in her.

Pffft. The Iliad and Moby Dick weren't even required reads for me in highschool (I'm in the United States). The only things I remember reading in highschool were short stories from Dubliners in 9th grade. 10th grade To Kill A Mockingbird and The Metamorphosis. 11th grade I don't think we read at all. 12th grade some short stories about rape and murder and demons that my Jewish teacher made us read, they were pretty good desu.

You need to kill her boyfriend. This will not only logically make you the first person in queue to owe the woman, but also it will estabilish you as the alpha, guaranteeing that she's loyal and obedient to you for the next -+30 years.

You have to learn yourself. Nobody can tell you what works or doesn't. You have to be brave enough to be able to bear the "EEW, CREEP!"s you receive and you will learn through trial and error. Eventually it gets easier and you eventually find some woman who has some positive trait other than being attractive.

That's why books were invented. They're literally sexual competition for betas. You couldn't impress a girl with your body so you try to do it with your mind.

Art thots are the most logical target because they already want to be in and around your community, and if you aren't banging your community's thots, then those thots are parasitic to that community.

That's why gamergate happened. Lots of thots who will throw on cat ears and lingerie and stream videogames. But none of those thots want anything to do with the men who started and grew the community.
