On the surface I'd say no but the more I think about it, the more I reckon that if a typical fratbro Chad were to read any book, that book would be by Jordan Peterson, exclaiming "dude this guy is hella smart, he fucking gets it!"

>>12757935
To become a chad? Probably not. It does contain some lessons that can be very valuable if you take them to heart, however.

But will it help me get laid?! Literally everyone has lost their virginity by my age. I don't think I can read another Nietzsche/Kant passage if there's no sweet pink slit to reward my efforts.

>>12757981
It might, depending on what's impeding you from getting laid.

At this point, I don't think that getting laid is a great life goal, although I also was fixated on it when I was a virgin.

>>12758009
Well I am physically well built and my mom said I have rugged good looks. But girls still don't talk to me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I shower 3 times a day, workout 3 times a week, am on a calorie deficit (can almost see veins and abs), and I trade Forex and read history and philosophy books. I just don't get what I'm missing.

>>12758034
>Peterson is liked by a person who looks awkward
Wow, great point.

>>12758053
>>12758045
>my mom said I have rugged good looks

>>12758045
I realize this is far easier said than done, but I think you'd probably do well to let go of getting laid as a goal. Getting laid doesn't prove that you're a desirable person – even Chris Chan managed to get laid eventually. A healthy sexual experience is most likely to emerge as a byproduct of pursuing another goal.

It sounds like you're pretty serious about fitness; what else brings you meaning in life?

>>12758066
This is NOT a picture of myself.

>>12758066
Hey, at least OP has the courage to be open about all this awkward shit about himself; it's easy to sit on the sidelines and throw peanuts.

>>12757935
It’s ok to be 18 and a virgin. If not, find an escort/prostitute or try talking to young women your age without acting like a cretin.

>>12758089
You shouldn’t need a prostitute at 18, when he reaches 21-25+ then it might be worth it.

>>12758082
I'd tie you up and face fuck you no homo.

>>12758077
I really just want my pick of women. My dream is to build a family of great people. Like the Rockefellers/Rothschilds. I don't need to reach their level of wealth, but I want to raise children who will be better than me. Essentially. That's why I learn and read so much. So that I can teach them all of the great people that came before them, but also inspire them to do something significant with their lives. Whether that is built upon the family wealth, or perhaps becoming an athletic star. I just don't want them to be mediocre (my greatest fear, other than being tortured).

>>12758106
I'm pretty strong, so no thank you.

>>12758107
While there are some laudable qualities to this goal, you should probably work on yourself first. By becoming a stronger person, you'll be better prepared to serve as a positive role model for any kids you might have. JBP stresses the value of goals like this that can be achieved incrementally. Otherwise, you'll end up paralyzed by the magnitude of your goals.

>>12757935
>knowledge necessary to become a Chad?

Women are only interested in the top 20% of men, no one would blame you if you gave up or made it a secondary goal while you focus on other things.

>>12758125
What should I work on? I work out and eat very cleanly so the physical and nutritional aspects are taken care of. I'm learning how to invest and already have seen decent results with Forex trading ( where most of my work money will be going to). I plan on taking BJJ/Krav Maga classes once I start working, so the ability to fight hand to hand is sort of taken care of. I will be going to a gun range every Saturday so learning how to defend myself is taken care of. What else is there to do? Must I become Jesus to finally deserve everything that I want?

>>12758158
See the thing is, I think some girls see me like that. It's just that I don't know how to interact with them in the way that I'd like to and that is natural.

All of you responding to this thread contribute to the decadent state it finds itself in. But then again, I don't think any of you read books yourselves.

There's an urben legend going around this board, I heard reading Hegel will make you Chad.

>>12758198
If by Chad you mean autistic shut-in permavirgin, then yes.

>>12758185
I read books though. But none of them teach me how to get pussy. How much Greek/Western philosophy do I need to read to finally deserve a woman? Or is it that women don't give a shit about what you read?

>>12757935
He's right that a lot of people could do with learning self-discipline. This was traditionally taught by religious institutions and reinforced by parents raised in those institutions, but is lacking in our society today as religion is losing its relevance.

>>12758221
Find higher aspirations in life than being a slave to the chemicals in your brain.

>>12758224
I think I'm pretty disciplined. I cook for myself, keep my living quarters clean, and consistently workout. I also study every night. Just waiting to start working and earning money next month.

>>12758045
>But girls still don't talk to me.
You are the man, you take the innitiative.

>>12758221
You absolute motherfucking moron. Maybe if you weren't as insecure as to beg for help on a literature online forum you would actually be getting laid.

>>12758117
>I am pretty
That's a carte blanche to get my way with you.

>>12758249
Do you get laid?

>>12758253
Unless you weigh more than 180lbs and practice some kind of martial art, I don't think you're getting anything. In fact, you are nothing.

>>12757935
You care about things like becoming chad and being a virgin. Why? Really, is this the sort of thought process that makes you happy?

>>12758034

No, it won't.

>"still"
If you're younger than eighteen and consensually not a virgin, then you should repent.

>>12758171
Maybe you should read "12 Rules for Life."

>looks awkward
He's wearing an MLP shirt, so he probably watches MLP and agrees with the things theresaid.

>>12758355
I read all of the rules and get the gist of what he's saying. But is it worth actually reading his reasoning behind them?

Ironically Baki The Grappler. Specifically Jack Hanma.

>>12758255
No, but that's besides the point.
