I don't think I am SJW. I just think that hating the opposite sex and/or considering them beneath you is a very easy trap to fall into.

Wang Shuo.

I'd also advise creating a whole autistic fantasy world about the book. Then release books which mostly describe the history of your world (with zero paradoxes) rather than bothering with a good storyline and writing.

Anything by Lovecraft. I mean cosmic horror is so niche and so imaginative that it probably kills libtards that he wasn't a lefty.

unironically something I'll probably say in 10-15 years

10/10. Start writing satire immedately.

the amount of times I've felt like that...then I come across a female I think is fairly basic until she starts to open up...and then my brain starts to feel very small.

>n-no women really are dumber

Why would an intelligent woman bother talking to you? I'm betting 99% of men here don't consider this.

My feeling is that if I reccommend something, you will only think about how much you want to talk about the book to her - so you can show how deep you really are.

Those guys aren't that great. Let's be honest here.

Men look at women with a hard bias and vice versa. Basically you think they're dumb because their communicative style is so distinct from your own.

I knew this person for 5-6 years. I felt something more for her than my initial infatuation. I think things might have been different if she wasn't married. Still haven't accepted that she didn't choose me and the last year I've been brooding and wanting to reach out to her and cause unnecessary drama. There's heaps about the rejection which makes me feel like this, and it's frustrating to have no idea how serious I was to her as a lover.

It's one of those events which has made me look out for a particular type of person. But half the time I don't know if they are that person or my brain is constructing a false identity to appreciate her. Obviously I still have time to develop so this isn't an issue I should be too concerned with. At the same time, this issue has caused me to do a lot of stupid shit lately. I feel like I'm on the brink of doing something very stalkerish and completely insane.

also you're wrong. It meant a hell of a lot to me and still does. This is male student/ female humanities prof which is not even in the same ballpark as the typical scenario where the genders are reversed. I think male profs who get involved with this type of thing often have very sinister motive, which makes the relationship meaningless.

>>11945536
You're right and to be honest I probably brought that up because I've never gotten over it.

>>11945485
Oh yeah I get all of that. Like I said I'm way too critical. Which is kinda funny because 10 years ago before I started fucking my Linguistics professor I was the complete opposite.

This thread is a joke by the way.

could be...it's not that I find them a write off. I still enjoy their company once every week ot two. But the idea of being together most of the time is abhorrent. Yet...want family values etc.

>>11945394
That's a good point but...the process of growing with someone has been difficult because I can be extremely critical. Once the apophenia settles and I'm able to analyse my feelings objectively, it's just so hard not to feel constantly bored by the other person. Particuarly if my impressions have not been accurate and I overestimated how much substance they had.

>what you are doing right now is saying you want to make a painting, but hesitate because you think you might find a better canvas

I don't think that's a good analogy. It's more like I want to grow a very rare plant and I'm concerned about the plant's environment.

If I meet someone new they might open up a characteristic about themselves which I haven't considered and find very appealing. If I were to choose someone now for the sake of choice, could definatly see myself ending it over someone else.

>>11945312
it does but it doesn't. I meet people all the time and because I'm very pushy with getting to know people I learn about them very quickly.

>>11945296
all the time.

tfw want a monogamous relationship with family values, but it's so difficult to choose a companion because you are literally attractive to everyone and can't decide on anyone

any books on this feel?

there's more to it than just that. A level of irony here got taken very seriously by a group who believed in it. Now these groups are far more predominant while influencing other brainlets.
