/lit/ - Literature

>>13462970
>Talking to people when they're reading
No

>>13462976

No, only the women

Anyone from /lit/ approaching a woman? I find the very idea offensive

>>13462983

So do they which is why I need help, /lit/ - I don't wanna get in trouble again

>>13462978
I will fucking knife you if you ask me what it's about after I've held up the cover to answer what I am reading.

>>13462970
that's my bench

>>13462970
Don't say anything. Just walk up, grab them by the back of their head and start making out with them violently. Works for me bro.

>>13462970
You don't

>>13462970
Hey can you give me your book?

me: "Hey, sorry *waits till girl looks at my face* can you look for my stuff while I *insert mundane activity like going to the toilet*"
her: "Yeah, sure"
me: "Thanks."
>does activity, comes back
me: "Thanks."
me: "Hey what are you reading"
her: "*bla bla*"
me: "Ah, I see. Can I take a quick look?"
*takes book, looks at it, grabs the first thing that comes to my mind about the topic of interest - usually an anectode of a friend who studies bla and once told me that yada, keeps on switching it up until it sticks and she replies with some opinion or story on her own*

I'm not going to come back to this thread and read all the autistic replies to this, but the above is how I got laid with half a dozen girls in cafes over the years so take it as a genuine "routine". tl;dr it sounds stupid but I break the reading immersion usually by asking for the girl to watch my stuff while I go to the toilet and when I come back you tend to be at a good mutual talking frame
protip: it helps if you're not bald and if you can look a person in the eye, if you're not getting laid due to being autistic then "picking up girls doesn't world irl" might be related just to you

Leave her alone, you cunt.

>>13462970
"Oh hey, I've read that, which part are you at?"

Only applicable if you've in fact read the book and remember it pretty well.

People really aren't that condescending if you show genuine interest in their hobby without some ulterior motive, which, since it's a girl referred by OP as a femoid, they most likely do.

If they do give you such a response, they're the ones making an ass out of themselves.

>>13462970
Lovely book, babyyyy

Here you go, my incel friends.

are we in a cultural dark age?

don't disturb their reading

>>13462970
Say whatever you want as long as you're at ease. Imagine if you were being livestreamed and thousands could see you. If you can't think of something to say, that you would be comfortable saying in that context, then your mind isn't in the right place.

>>13463402
>Imagine the prospect of being humiliated in front of thousands to quell your anxiety
Lol

>>13463177
a matched made in heaven

>>13463448
Oh I wasn't giving advice on how to quell anxiety. If you feel anxious, there's a good reason for it. Your instincts are telling you not to socialize because you haven't learned how, and you should listen to them.

>>13463058
Let me guess, and if I had mentioned giving the girl a compliment then you'd say that chicks don't want to be complimented by randos on the street? Bitch, please. When I feel like complimenting someone, man or woman, I almost invariably do so and they almost invariably show genuine thanks with women in particular generally smiling broadly, even glowing, and having gotten a compliment from a stranger. I used to think that women didn't want to be complimented and that it would come off as creepy, that's what feminism indoctrinated me with as a child, but in adulthood I decided to put it to the test. It was false. Women generally DO like to be complimented, and perhaps it's because MOST women aren't screeching harpy feminist cunts. I bet lots of women would like to be approached while reading and asked about their book by someone with similar interests, in fact stuff like that is how friendships are made, even relationships.

Feminism is cancer, go fuck yourself. Feminists tend to die alone and miserable, as they should.

>>13463203
Hard to say, there's so much to write about, Anon. Knowing this, I lament not being a better writer to take advantage and paint the era for people.

>>13462970
Women don't read

>>13463865
I have writing talent but lately haven't been in the mood to write. Self-published about 400k words worth of books, including non-fiction. Made a few hundred bucks from them, most money comes from Fiverr where I mostly write erotica smut. Money's money, and I have my alcoholism to feed.

>>13462970
If women are outside reading in the park they’re basically begging to be asked out by some guy. They’re literally putting themselves out there for you incels.

>>13463868
To my knowledge, women make up the bulk of purchasers of ebooks.

Just ask what are they reading and if you want a long length conversation dont even approach is fucking annoying when an asshole interrupts their reading.
...but other day i was in the subway and a cute girl was reading totally immersed in the book so i got curious when she stopped to look around i asked what she was reading...it was fucking Marques de Sade

>>13462970
By any chance, do you happen to be an archeologist?

>>13462970
>nice book nerd!
then slap the book out of her hands. this is every shy bookish girls dream srs.

>>13463074
i was at the dmv the other week and this indian guy was chatting up this qt about her work and shit. women will talk about themselves for ages if you give them the opportunity and even if you're ugly they'll still humor you because its ingrained in them to avoid conflict because if they just tell an ugly guy to fuck off he might rape them or something.

>>13462970
>let's have sex

>>13462970
ask them if they are an intellectual.

>>13462970
>read in public
This is the most pretentious shit.
It's a red flag.

>>13462970
"hey, what do you read?"
see, easy

Whenever I'm in the bookstore I make sure to keep an eye out for cute girls so I can "arrange" for us to have interactions. For example recently I noticed a girl was in the literature section looking at the Don Quixote editions and I made sure to recommend her the right one. She said thanks and was slightly impressed, but the trick (and this is where most guys fail) is to RESIST trying to advance the conversation or ask her out at this point. She will go from somewhat liking you to rolling her eyes internally in a split second because she gets that routine a dozen times a day.

The trick is to use serendipity, as women are very vulnerable to it. A woman will go where her serendipity index tells her to. To get the serendipity index high you have to make it so that your encounters seem unforced and unintentional. So, first run into her in the literature section, but then carefully observe where she is going after that. If you know the routes of the store, you can tell just by the fact that she's going to Section A that she has no choice but to emerge in Section B, and Section B has English poetry so she will almost certainly stop there. So you can casually, but quickly, make your way over there, and when you see her, you should already be reading something conspicuously that will catch her eye (it's good have go-to books in each section, with appropriately stark covers). Again, don't overdo it. When you see her again, make eye contact and smile a bit sheepishly like "haha, we have to stop running into each other like this!" But don't pursue just yet.

The trick is to get her a third time. You will have to figure out the dynamics of your own bookstore, but after girls go to English poetry, they have to exit by the recent acquisitions table, which is by the checkout counter. I make sure to go to the counter and buy something just as she's looking at the books, and ideally ask the desk clerk a thoughtful question, like where their Latin poetry section is. After I finish paying, I act like the recent acquisitions table only just caught my interest, and I go over to it. Now the encounter can be organic so I start conversation as soon as I detect we're interested in the same book (sometimes you will have to force this and just pretend you are interested). And now that she's seen me multiple times, I am high on her serendipity index.

If it doesn't work, don't worry. There's always another girl lol. Occasionally if I really like the girl and I'm disappointed that she left, I'll try for a last ditch effort and go to the Starbucks across the street, hoping she'll show up there after going to the bookstore, but that's rare. Usually they get their coffee before coming to the store.

How someone can end up as a virgin bastard after reading Schiller is a mystery to me. He can single-handedly give you a game to the point where you don't even have to mention him at all. You don't even need to mention reading.

>>13464519
>Schiller had game
true. but could you give an example?
footnote: he was also mocked by filthy romantics for his view on women.

>>13464519
I have a pick up line that I will try even if it means my death. It's a line from Schiller saying "What one refuses in a minute. No eternity will return."

>>13464537
It's not exactly his perspective on women, but the overall power of his writing. Goethe said about him that "it doesn't matter what he did, he was always big", and it shows in his writing.

Goethe and Schiller can write on the same level, but Goethe steps off the gas occasionally and goes towards a more light, a more cute approach, while Schiller doesn't stop, it's always through the roof.

This week I would hide in my attic and read Schiller poems out loud, there is so much power behind it, after some time I could not recognize my voice anymore, am I the one who's reading this? After that I would go talk to people listening about their complaints about society, but I can't connect with it at all, like my head got rewired.

I'd argue that you can take this and apply it to your pick-up game in a way that will increase your chances drastically.

>>13464620

Now you have a gf.

(serious reply)
take the book and run

>>13462970
If you've read the book say a spoiler that isn't one. If she's out with a book alone she probably expects to be talked to, that's what I do when I go out to pick up girls, I sit down somewhere and read on my phone. It's much better (and more manly I guess) than being in a group, drinking and pretending that you give a shit about what you're friends are talking about while you're scouting the area.

>>13464678
I mean, I don't get approached. If I catch some contact I would stand up and go. The reading is just something to fill the time.

Also, if it's a social situation, they expect you to do something. What do you think why they are there, for coffee? A girl told me that she would go somewhere with her friends and expect that someone jumps into their conversation with something like "what are you talking about" or similar shit.

>>13462970
Go to a bar and find a girl there. Nobody wants to be interrupted by strangers, especially if they're fucking reading. Especially if the girl looks better than you think you do to her, and/or you're a fucking awkward shaking mess.

>>13464657
>alpha and betas

Don’t exist. :3

>>13464620
are you german? if not why even bother reading translated poetry?

>>13462995
this

>>13464700
Every social situation is an open game. I would approach a girl at a funeral, not even kidding.

>>13464713
German is my second language, learned it while I was really young so it's on an advanced level.

>>13464620
So the way to win girls is to read Schiller's poems out loud until you become more like him?

>>13464728
oh nice.

>>13464718
Hope it's worked for you cause otherwise it's not worth it for either you or them.

>>13464729
You get influenced by your environment in one way or another, so brute force it. I've noticed that much shittier things are getting to me, so why not invite Schiller in.

>>13464739
I regret only the times where I didn't do anything. The funeral is an exaggeration of course. The worst I had was a cold, empty, dark street. Literally a stalker environment.

>>13464708
Beta detected. I would mog you so hard, faggot. I could buttfuck you with ease and you would do nothing about it.

>>13464757
I would let you.

>>13464765
Not me.

>>13464757
>Beta

Doesn’t exist :3

>>13464743
Then the logical thing to do is to find the most chad writers and absorb their writings completely. Why are you not reading Casanova's Memoirs?

>>13464781
Kerouac is my chad writer. Hemingway too, because I found out that it's really convenient when I manage to tell a story to a girl in the way Hemingway writes. So, not dragging it out, leave some spaces open for imagination and all that other stuff.

What I'm aiming at the moment is style writers, like Joyce (Dubliners) and Proust for example. Doesn't have to be directly about picking up, but more about aesthetics through which I develop my own way.

>>13463017
bullllsshiiittttt

>>13463017
I applaud you.

>>13464700
This. You know how much you want to be bothered by a crazed street bum asking for change when you're reading outdoors? That's exactly how much those women want you to bother them.

>>13463017
Tell us what how you made it from talking, to getting laid, half a dozen times no less. You didn't specify. What's a poor anon gonna do who makes it through the routine but then doesn't know the next steps?

>>13464493
And have you ever actually nailed even one girl using this exorbitant method?

>>13465322
Not that anon. My system goes like this.

Be secure about my sexuality. So no bullshit, if I'm approaching a girl, sex is in the equation from the get go.

But I also need to care about what she's talking about. If I don't care about a girl, there's nothing in earth that will make me go to her. I used to see that as a sign that I'm interested, but it's the opposite. I'm interested if I don't hesitate and just go. Theoretically you could say, why give a shit about any of them, but that's lazy.

So I care about what she's talking about because I want sex and because I'm not sexually insecure. The last part is important to keep the first one in check so I don't end up mimicking interest.

While approaching in general, I used to get stuck in the calculation about what happens if she rejects me and I used to have a waterproof theory about it too, until I realized that my friends would get real defensive about rejections and that was not a good sign. You know the usual talk, approach many women to gain confidence, bitch calling, there are many fishes in the sea or whatever, the things guys tell each other like it's the holy grail, it's all bullshit for me. So my layers go like this:

I'm sexually secure and I want sex but I also want to talk to her, to make that happen I need to invite her to do stuff. When I'm sexually secure and invite her, she might say no but I fucking invited her. At the end I end up in a loop and it's the healtiest I've ever been.

I used to be bitter about some rejections until I got the foundation in order. Now my thoughts are just stuck at "I invited her."

Also, drop the group thinking. If we're male, we're not in a team. Get in shape. Not ultra-/fit/, recreational /fit/ is enough.

That's what worked for me.

>>13464493
I'm impressed with how much thought you've given this. Basically all the women I slept with were met through mutual friends without any planning, at parties and so forth.

>>13465495
That's what parties are for, but I've rarely seen someone go to a party to pick-up girls, it's more like we're going to drink, because of the music, or some other excuse. If you go to a party directly for the girls, there's a chance you will end up with empty hands, so you went drinking and if something happens happens, if not, you were out drinking having a nice time.

Once I realized this, every time I go somewhere, it's for the girls and only for the girls. If I fail, I take the disappointment head on. To manage this you need a game.

>>13462970
BEGONE JEZEBEL

>>13465495
>Basically all the women I slept with were met through mutual friends without any planning, at parties and so forth.
See, this is what bothers me. I'm a virgin looking for a girlfriend. However, I could never settle for a non-virgin. Why? Because in my mind I will always know some other male will have used her holes. It's like enjoying a used burger. Who enjoys that? Nobody. Anyone who says they're alright with their girlfriend having previous sexual partners is a filthy liar. You just bury it deep inside your mind because you have no other options and are desperate for pussy. Regardless, you're eating a used burger. Enjoy I guess.

>>13465684
Oh my goodness, anon, don't be absurd. I couldn't care less if a partner has had sex before. Actually, it usually makes life simpler if they have. Your insecurity and fear of being thought bad in bed must be really severe if you pretend only virgins are pure enough for you (and no, I don't believe a word of your 'used burger nonsense). Virgins are sweet, but (especially for a casual encounter) you're often better off with someone who already has some idea what they're doing and what they want. As a virgin yourself, you'd be especially well-advised to have an experienced GF to break you in before you try to deflower another innocent. Read On Chesil Beach some time.

>>13465684
Stop being insecure.

>>13465738
thats retarded.

>>13465761
Seriously anon, how old are you? Who messed you kids up this badly?

>>13465684
>like enjoying a used burger
How good is the burger? There's a lady in the far side of the next county who makes the best fucking burger I have ever tasted and I have hitchhiked while drunk on a Sunday to get one off her before she runs out mid-afternoon. I would pay you five bucks and the price of two burgers if you promised me you would come back with a half eaten one of those motherfuckers.
