That was some cringe mansplaining move. If she wanted to know she would have asked. Are you that autistic anon? She just wanted to make smalltalk because she either finds you cute or was feeling sorry for you for always being the loner.

You're a disgusting clown. She sounds like a decent woman.

Schopenhauer also said this on women later in his life

Fucking freakshow sperg. The normies have rooted you out now, you will be lucky if this normie lets it slide at all. If it's a women especially prepare for the gossip and that weird inauspicious feeling you get when all the normies you don't even know start avoiding and softly rejecting you.

Let me explain to your mutant monster sperg freak brain how you're supposed to respond:

First, do not read a book with a visible cover unless it's socially ""normal"" within the peer group context that your reading will be visible in. Do not read shit in public in view of others unless you actually plan on using it as a social reference beforehand. Every visible product behavior is a form of conspicuous consumption and you have to see it in light of that. Everything visible to others is a social cue, retard. You nonce

Second, you can read whatever the fuck you want if it's etext on a tablet, phone, PC, or kindle. Or if the cover is discreet and hard to distinguish at a glance. Just tell the normie it's something socially acceptable, likely some kind of middle class midwit material. Tell normielass that you're reading a Toni Morrison novel that your lit professor recommended, maybe some kind of pop history like King Leopold's ghost and how bad the nogs had it then. But don't come across as an effete pussy, even when talking to men or roasties it doesn't matter. Glib and superficial is the best approach almost always unless you're talking to a genuine friend or family member.

3rd, never ever fucking talk about philosophy to normies. Not even intelligent normies. Philosophy and even higher literature has very very low regard in American culture and if you're European the situation is likely similar. Normie Germans may have pretended to have some regard for Kant or sumfin a long time ago but we're not living in that timeline any longer. Brutal nigger grunge is the current social and aesthetic atmosphere and you will fucking conform or die. The death drive is the current animating spirit, go with the flow or be destroyed. Fake sublimated works like "mainstream" NYT approved social justice history, authors of color or LGBT, that is what you need to focus on, if you wish to use reading as a social reference in the current social mileu which you occupy. Otherwise you will have no success at all.

Welcome to reality aspie. I hope it's not too much to take in all at once

Mr. A. Sperg, why the fuck do you think she read Schopenhauer after seeing you read it when she hadn't heard of him before? You even told her that she wouldn't find it interesting, which means she wanted to prove you wrong. Instead you double down with the on women essay instead of taking advantage of the situation.

The incel doesn't care. He hardly interacts with women or he exaggerates things. He has already adopted a position. And/or he's a troll and posts this shit to laugh at you for wasting your time.
Not once in the history of these bait threads has the OP changed his mind no matter how sensible the arguments and advice provided to him.
