Could very well be a 'chapbook' of poetry published by a student friend of his trying to delay their entry into adult life as long as possible by doing an advanced literature degree, and this lad has to read it in order to fit in with his social circle. He probably genuinely enjoys it as much as he genuinely enjoys going to see Racing92 and Les Bleus, watching the latest Korean 'art film' or trying on jackets at APC--which is to say, moderately and unreflectively. I know these people; I am these people.

the more intellectual you are, the less likely you are to be "hot," since being "hot" requires you to be stupid and exist within a stupid network of imaginary significations perpetuated by stupid people. so, if you're hot but you're intellectual, you wouldn't know if you're hot or not because you're not stupid enough to know these things... what i'm saying is hot = stupid

i suppose so... or perhaps merely moral? and above such general promiscuity and the pornification of society... not only is being "hot" being stupid, it's also being immoral - not to mention perverted. every adult is "hot," every adult has the capacity for sexual reproduction. beyond all these stupid and fleeting imaginary signifiers. so i don't think it'd be in bad faith, since an intellectual would be unable to see themselves as "hot,' would be beyond that realm of stupidity

People can and will use literally anything to cope, but I would highlight that all the influential people in history and all the ones currently running the world are either sinfully ugly or, at best, simply unattractive. On the spectrum of coping mechanisms, youth and beauty have got to be the biggest ones elected by only the most woeful and pathetic of people. You might be an unsuccessful, uneducated, ignorant - downright idiotic, even - powerless, and poor bastard, but at least someone who is successful, educated, intelligent, powerful, and/or rich might bequeath some of what they have to you because you're pretty.
The worst you can say of a person using intellectualism to cope is that they might not have money, be well-known or respected, or pretty, and are probably full of themselves. But, notice, you've done nothing but describe an otherwise normal human being in that case. A pretty person coping with their beauty is worse than even that, because the only thing they've got going for them is something that will leave them in short order. Unless you have an accident or suffer some sort of neurological failure, it's not like your pseudointellectualism is going to run out on you as you age. Hell, you might actually figure out how to get over yourself and become a more complete intellectual as you age.

Being beautiful and nothing else is about the most pitiable existence a person could have.

another way of phrasing this is to say that intellectuals are self-reflective, while ignorance lacks self-awareness, and this lack of self-awareness seems to be synonymous with spontaneity or instinct, which people find attractive

Not stupid, maybe all intellectuals that exceed far beyond despite being ugly are actually coping just as much as those that are very attractive but try to appear less stupid and more like an interesting person. In this way, general intelligence isn't the cause for intellectualism, but rather the feeling of being outcast drives one to overproduce a certain thing - not necessarily 'bad' however - it would be the same as sacrificing everything to shred weights until you are the most impressive, titanic communion of muscle, except all inside the brain. But maybe only the ugliest intellectuals are promoted on purpose to demonize the intellectual field relegating most attractive people to common knowledge.

"Hot" people are self-possessed, healthy. Intellectualism pursues self-improvement or status-signalling, the intellectual prior to becoming an intellectual is in essence lacking, he is attempting to gain something the hot person already has through self-possession. The "hot" person has beauty, and so he can associate with the beauty found in classics but he doesn't need it, he already possesses beauty in himself, nor does he need to improve because by virtue of being "hot" he already has physique, mental health, sociability. Philosophical thinking and the like is that of an outsider, they stem from suffering in that you cease to act, to live, and begin to question, you stop analyzing the game and begin to look at its functions - this can only come from a place of failure. If they possess true beauty and not just sex appeal - as in, they're not pornographic - then they already have everything the philosopher seeks without ever having to reach that state through thought.
