Why don't YOU have a cute literary gf to talk about contemporary literature with yet /lit/?

Is it because you're quiet, reserved, stutter and stumble over basic sentences? Is it because when a girl talks to you, you don't smile, only answer in "yes" and "no"s, laugh politely and rarely, and wear clothes that are either too tight or too baggy and look as if they were picked from a thrift-store clothes rack by your mother back in 2008? When a girl talks about a subject you're interested in do you simple agree with what she says and smile the way a small child does when praised by his aunts at Christmas?

Or is it because instead of venturing out in the world, instead of asserting your will and demanding that the world yield to whatever demands you may have, instead you turn inward, your will is inverted, you would prefer to plummet than ascend. Rather than overcome your anxieties and mental peculiarities through empathy and conversation, you allow them to entirely dominate your perspective and disposition, to make themselves so much at home in your distorted narcissistic psychology that the disorders and peculiarities and paranoid distortions themselves eventually become the essential substance of your character.

Is it because truly, in the end, you're nothing more than a pale, sheltered, suburbanite child in the abstract universe you have concocted to compensate for the fact that the world outside your window terrifies and confuses you?

I know you're trying to practice your prose OP but at least choose a less hackneyed theme.

Besides that, what do you even get out of shitting on some strawman? Why not write about something a little more encouraging and inspiring? But maybe you're not capable of that, and this the way you compensate for your own shortcomings?

No. It's because the psychological development of a modern woman halted at the terrible two's stage of development, because their entire sexuality is blocked by powerful sadomasochistic complexes, and because their conception of love is incredibly infantile (Please gib me food, attention, warmth, money, Daddy). Interacting with modern women is like speaking with a self obsessed sociopathic toddler with a BDSM fetish.

None of the above. I don't have a cute literary girlfriend because I broke up with the one I had. Because she saw that our collective depression would've killed us. Because she was a stay-at-home-on-friday-nights girl and I went out every chance I had. Because she deemed herself useless and worthless as a person and refused to change and I tried to nurture her to cope with my own insecurities. Because I've been playing the part of the tortured artist for so long that I do not even know if my suffering is authentic or merely a meme. Because when we broke up I had to face my own problems since I had no one else to truly care about. Because I felt that she owed me her presence because of the efforts I made. Because I swore to never have a meaningful relationship again to protect myself from getting emotionally hurt. Because these days my love for alcohol is turning into full-on alcoholism after months of using drinking as a way to cope. Because I can get sex and shallow emotional connection every two weeks if I go out enough. Because I go out of my way to find cute literary girls only to sabotage myself on purpose after a few weeks of dating. Because every time someone cares about me I fear I will hurt them. Because I keep telling myself that I simply can't have a normal relationship but honestly I don't know if that's true.
Because, to be honest, I love the idea of being an eccentric, broken person. I enjoy not finding joy in anything anymore. I love the life I live even though I must keep distracting myself to ignore how unauthentic it feels at times.

Because women also love the cliche of the tortured artist, but a man who lives that cliche is inherently incapable of being in a lasting relationship.

I do this, also I am ugly as fuck.
Although having a "cute literary" gf is impossible for if they are cute, they will not be versed in literature as much as a more homely gal, for they would not need to, and if they are, they will not be cute.
Or mayhaps you think that the pic you posted is "cute"? She isn't ugly but cute? With standras like yours it is only a mystery as to why you posted a drawn out criticism of /lit/ posters instead of burying your cock in a qt. Perhaps you are one of the people you so scholastically despise.

How the FUG did you get a pic of my gf, anon?

Seriously though it looks a lot like her. She kinda got herself into reading by getting through the Harry Potter series for the first time and becoming obsessed with it. Then I gave her some of the books from the /lit/ starter kit and we had some discussions about reading itself. I offered my perspective on how reading shouldn't be about the plot but about the meaning. She didn't really get it at first but as she read more /lit/ books it started to make sense. And she's actually given me some insight on a few books that I would never have thought of by myself. Now we read the same book together; it's really nice to have someone to discuss a book with in-person and not just on /lit/.

tl;dr it's really hard to get a /lit/ gf so you have to make one out of a regular gf
