hell yes, pussy's pussy

>implying I'd turn down a woman just because she's dumb
I have dumb male friends, too. The only books my best friend has read is 120 Days of Sodom and American Psycho because of the "fucked up shit" in them. He's still fun to hang out with.

>girl

I've actually never had a friend that liked to read. Very few people I call friends though.

"No. I don't date women with tattoos, and that "123PF" tattoo on your chest is particularly repellent. What the hell does it even mean anyway?"

Fuck off, all of you.

she looks like a fucking child
why the fuck is she even smiling

No, I don't coffee with illiterate happy cunts.

>>2657940
>why the fuck is she even smiling
because I have just told her a new series of kim kardashian is on tonight.

You are either all desperate as fuck, or I'm even more of a snob than I thought.

I could never date a girl that doesn't read. I even turned down one or two before because of that (one of them explicitly told me she never reads books, the other just acted like it).

There may be something wrong with me though.

>>2657910
look at those fucking teeth

Sure, I'm always up for coffee.

>>2657957
there's nothing wrong with you, you just prefer intellectual women. that's perfectly fine, and you should not feel bad :)

Lol Anon, I think it would be really hot if we had sex in the library xDDD

>>2657988
Eww, I don't like albanians. At least you don't have red eyes.

>>2657988
"Fuck off, Julian Assange, before you have TWO rape charges brought against you!!"

>walking through the park
>see this
>wat do?

>>2657988
i would fuck him

>>2658008
Completely ignore her, then go home and convince myself I could have pulled her.

>>2657988
And it would be REALLY hot if you actually read what I suggested to you instead of just coming to the library just to bug me.
Now get back to Dubliners, you'll need to finish that soon if you're going to have Ulysses read by the end of the summer.

>>2658008
Hide in the bush behind her, try to cum on her feet

>>2658017
but she's waring shoes

A girl will never ask you out because because despite feminism the man retains all of the responsibility.

>>2658021

Wrong, but you have to look good.

hey, Anon, you should check out this store. They have a great selection of rare esoteric manuscripts!

>>2658019
Matter, this does not.

okay just let me finish this chapter than I'll suck you off

>>2658030
i don't think i could pull one off in public unless i knwe FOR SURE that i was goign to make contact with ehr skin. just saying

>>2658002
you mean albinos right?

>>2658041
Never know, might run down her shoes and over her ankles. She's rub her ankles together thinking it was a fly. Rubbing your jizz into her skin.....

>>2658029
Goddam that bird is proper fit, I would really butter her crumpets.

>>2658040

> I have had a girl say pretty much just that.

I do not seek out women for their intellects. Otherwise I would be a constantly disappointed virgin. No, I seek women based on looks and my ability to tolerate them.

>>2658029
This one would be my pick. Fuck yes for someone else into esoteric shit.

Anon can you hold my baby? I can't concentrate.

>ugly eyes
>ugly smile
>small head and big torso
>flat chest
>long arms

I'll pass.

>>2658101
I only bone maidens, sorry wench. Go find some other sucker to scrounge off. Single mums, pffft.

>go out for lunch
>see this
>wat do?

why not? let´s go

>>2658106
whats the difference? is a wench a maiden with child?

Hurry up and find what you need. I need to get back in time for jersey shore!

>>2658115
A maiden is a virgin. A wench is not.

>Women
>Reading

If it isn't a cookbook, she's getting a whooping.

>>2658121
Is this the book you're looking for sweetheart?

>>2658121
She is there solely to pose for her Tumblr. You can see the dumbness in her eyes. Disgusting.

2/10 would only bang if it was violent rape

The book you want is behind her. wat do?

>>2658115

A maiden is still a virgin. Wench is actually an old term used for any woman with a manual labor professional (washing wench, cleaning wench, serving wench).

>>2658140
>Excuse me.
>Ok
>Thanks

Get my book, walk out. If things go according to plan, those are the only words I'll ever speak to her.

>mfw I was infatuated with a girl who exclusively read Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, GRRM and Star Wars books.

>>2658150
you're supposed to be socially awkward! have we taught you nothing?!

>>2658163
I would fuck the shit outta a girl like that

>>2658140
"hey, slut, why are you carrying a camera if you're just going to read?"

Why does everyone act like walking up and saying hey to a girl you meet in the bookstore/library/coffee shop/park/so forth is such a monumental act fraught with the potential of life–destroying consequences?

>>2658140
umm h-hello, would you like to g-go for number, I Mean coffee. c-can i get your coffee. I have cake.

>>2658177
Because women naturally aren't interested in reading, so when they are reading in public it's solely for the purpose of impressing a man.

>>2658163
Go fuck yourself.
GRRM is fantastic.

>>2658187
>calling a children book author "fantastic"

someone has low standards.

>>2658181
lol i couldn't even do that, i'd probably go to another row and browse till she took off

>>2658012

>>2658195
I didn't say that to get attention.

I did it to start a childish fight.

To prove that only children read science fiction and fantasy.

>>2658202
>I personally fantasize about a leather-clad Slavoj Zizek, armed with a whip and holding a diaper.

>>2658182

If that were true, it'd make them easier to approach…

>she has violent, frothy mouthed spasms until dead follows
>take a look at her ID and handwriting on stuff she carries with her
>take out a copy of Mein Kampf, scribble pro-nazi comments emulating her handwriting in the margins, writing her name in the front of the book
>leave

>>2658202
Zizek oversimplifies and mis-analyzes Hegel. Fuck him.

And his books all are shitty.

You don't know me.

>>2658208
No, it'd make them easier to walk by smugly grinning at how superior you are.

>>2658217

To justify your lack of testicular fortitude, I guess.

>>2658224
Shut the fuck up, mom, I've told you a billion times that I'm single because I WANT to be.

>>2658228
I never

Pleasant surprise.

My girlfriend introduced me to Vonnegut and Camus.

>>2658247

''While the author's intentions were undoubtedly of a satirical nature, I highly doubt they intended their work to be laughed at. Perhaps I could recommend some essays and academic journals that will enlighten the correct way to appreciate the work for you? This is of course one of the author's lesser works, despite it's mass popularity; but I'm sure you already knew that.

>>2657898

>>2658280
You are why I hate /lit/.

That's a lie.
I hate the hipsters who compose 50% of /lit/'s population.

>>2657898
Is she just tourettically shouting her favourite books at me then asking me out, or is the implication that I've done the former to her? I'm autistic, but I'm not not that autistic.

>browsing /lit/

>and LOL GUY WEARING FEMINIST SHIRT
Goodbye, /lit/.

>>2658140
>Why the fuck are you sitting in front of the books? There are pre designated areas for sitting, and in front of the books is not one of them.
In real life I would probably be a lot more rude...

>>2658294

Are you really stupid enough to expect more from /lit/?

And leave, leave and don't ever look back. It's the best thing that could ever happen to you. I've tried, but I always end up coming back - the lure of arguing with autismals is too much for my weak mind to resist.

>>2658323
not that guy but i came here very inoften for a while and then came back to this. i couldn't imagine it could become so shit.

>"Hey anon, I read some of those books you suggested and then I got this done just for you"

wat do

what do u have against the hunger games!lol

>>2658323
yeah, no, dude. it wasn't like this.

this place is going to /b/ tier fast. better get out while you can.

>>2658353

Anger. All I feel is anger.

>>2658294
unless you use the internet for nothing more than to subscribe to the The Times Literary Supplement ,you can't talk down to anyone here.

>>2658353
I've... I've never understood people who get massive tattoos like that on a whim. Shit is there permanently. Permanently FOREVER.

A friend of mine got a girl's phone number at a Barnes & Noble the other week. He saw her reading, asked her what it was, and when she said she didn't really have money to spend on a book, he offered to buy it for her.

And then he saw it was Chuck Palahniuk and thought to himself, "Ehh... at least she's cute."

And I thought of you guys.

>>2658386
I dunno, I had part of a tattoo lasered off to incorporate something else into it, and you couldn't even tell there had been anything there.

>>2658386
whats the matter? too poor to be be reckless??

>>2658386
They also loan money to buy a car they don't need. Or have babies without thinking it true. Or pets. Or get married. Many people are stupid fucks who can't into long term thinking. The sad thing is that these kind of qualities drive them to reproduce much more since they don't afraid of anything.

>>2658397
>Or have babies without thinking it true.

deep shit. if you don't think it true, it doesn't exist.

I'm female. I read. I'm socially awkard. I'm not that attractive. I venture to guess that most on this board are male, read, are socially awkward, and aren't that attractive either. Pretty women who label me as a weirdo for preferring to read over gossipping annoy me. Male nerds who insult my looks and then assume I'm as dim as the pretty ditzes annoy me more.

You know how you hate jocks for getting all the girls? We hate bitches for getting all the guys. Works both ways. Get over yourselves.

>>2658389
I'd have whispered come with me, grabbed her hand pulled her out the store and down the street to the nearest second hand bookshop. would have been romantic as hell. im actually crying at the thought because ill never be in the position and id never have the balls to do it.

>>2658400
Goddamnit. Don't worry, I won't reproduce.

>>2658397
>eugenics
Faggot. I agree with your point though.

>>2658403
life's ruff

Oh, Anon, this book is incredibly. Lay your head down between my legs so we can read it together.

>>2658389
That's actually pretty funny.

>>2658403
Would you go out with an attractive "normal" guy who didn't really read, gets most of his personality from mainstream/pop culture, etc? Assuming he was social, polite, etc Just curious.

>>2658412
>incredibly
>no >

The first and last time I make one of these shitty posts.

>>2658403
>tfw e/lit/ist who fucks dumb women and then proceeds to read books by himself and discuss them with male friends

Feels good to have mastered the workings of division of labour.

>>2658397
humanity isn't going anywhere and there is no favourable direction you can create. We all have to die and even if we live forever we'll burn up in a supernova. existence isn't specifically for us, just so happens we're part of it. deal with it, moron, and stop thinking you can turn it around. it always ends in heartache.

>>2658418
>fucks dumb women and then proceeds to read books by himself and discuss them with male friends

someone emulates schopenhauer.

>>2658409
You don't think it would be a good thing to counter the fact that the dumb reproduce the most, thereby causing devolution? Or do you just think that they have earned it, obviously being more successful than smart folks as organisms?

It is irresponsible to have a child in the world today. There are already too many human beings on this planet and too few resources to support all of us equally. Do your part and get sterilized today.

>>2658419
>permanence doesn't exist
>might as well shit in my pants

Nice attitude.

>>2658430
The problem is that consumer culture has created this image that "intelligence is unattractive". It's why me, a lonely nerd, has never talked to girls outside of "hello" while mindless, but physically strong men have fucked tons.

life's ruff.

>>2658412
is face down okay?

>>2658433
The irony is that by realising this you have basically passed the test for parenthood.

>>2658403
>I venture to guess that most on this board are male,
Yup
>read,
I have been accused of it.
>are socially awkward,
umm.. j-just a little
>and aren't that attractive either
Woooah, hold on there missy. It's possible to be attractive and fond of books.

>>2658418

Some of my best conversations on literature have been with women, but I generally subscribe to your philosophy too.

I judge everyone by their character, and not by their sex, race etc. It's just I've met few women that are capable of talking about anything interesting.

I've met few men as well, but it still outnumbers the women by a wide margin.

>>2658433
>too few resources to support all of us

>This is what statist sheep actually believe

>>2658445
>dem illusions of grandeur

you're ugly as hell i bet.

>>2658436
stop thinking you can lead humanity to some fictitious ideal and just deal with things in the present

>>2658433
why do you give a fuck about future planet earth or its people? those guys don't exist yet. ethics doesn't concern potential or possible people. it's about the welfare of who is alive. eugenics is harmful to them.

>>2658452
Yeah, best watch out for illusions of grandeur, it's a doggy dog world and people with them are diamond dozen.

>>2658455
Why shouldn't I care about future generations of people to come? I will not ever know them (maybe) but that doesn't mean that I should live recklessly without giving thought to their suffering later on.

>>2658464
i was clearly referencing lil b, b.

>>2658452
Actually no. I really don't understand why you people have this need to presume everybody else is ugly. It stands to reason that if 50% of the population are below average then surely 50% are above.

You have a 50/50 chance of talking to someone more attractive than yourself, and you, yes you, captain projection, are lucky enough to be talking to one of the 'beautiful people'.

>>2658455
Lifespans are increasing very fast. You may have the ability to live longer than you think. Eugenics also concern the world in which we live ourselves anyway. Any downy aborted is beneficial to you.

>>2658470
putting them before those alive today is foolish. I've just told you, ethics isn't about people that might be, it's about people that are.

>>2658473
i was just fuckin around man, calm down.

>>2658473
>lucky enough
I know that was tongue in cheek, but being able to avoid that is one of the only reasons I post on /lit/.

>>2658439
son, you gettin schooled at the face down ass up university.

.. wait.. son?

>>2658480
You can't solve the problems that are coming down the line without making preparations for them now.

>>2658476
but hardly beneficial to the family who want to keep their baby. well down you just reduced a productive worker to a depressed layabout

No.

>>2658490
issues of today take precedence.

>>2658476
longevity doesn't make life better on it's own.

>>2658491
People who willingly bring retards into the world should be done away with anyway. I can't imagine a greater sin towards life.

>>2658480
So you would find a woman who is unwilling to expose her body to radiation because it might damage her future children to be irrational? Your logic doesn't work, people act in anticipation all the time.

>Pretty girl (7-9/10), likes shit tier books
>Meh girl, has your exact taste in books (3-5/10)

Both are appealing in every other way except those two mentioned. If you like smart girls, they're both smart, dumb girls, they're both bimbos. Kind/mean, sweet, kinky, likes/hate sport, whatever the fuck you want.

Pick.

>>2658485
The sad thing is I'm attractive but I'm socially awkward. I wish i did look like a beast so people would be less inclined to try and talk to me.

>>2658438

It feels good when you haven't limited your life to on pursuit.

I love literature, have MA in Eng. Lit., but I know it's not the be all and end all of life. I do physical activities like soccer and boxing as well.

Awkward and autismal as fuck, but it comes across as being 'deep' because I happen to be handsome and reasonably intelligent. So I end up dipping my wick in many women, but have little to no male friendships.

Stop limiting your life because society tells you an intellectual can't or shouldn't do this or that. Become a Renaissance man and reap the benefits.

>>2658515
>Pretty girl (7-9/10), likes shit tier books

But only because I like shit tier books

>>2658438
>"intelligence is unattractive"

Actually, these days intelligence is attractive.

However, intelligence means owning apple products, wearing large framed glasses, reading mid-tier literature and taking easy humanities classes at a shit tier uni (grades are irrelevant).

If you're ugly and getting A's in a difficult course then it doesn't matter.

>>2658517
You don't mean this. If you do, it can be fixed.

>>2658512
killing life is the only sin towards life.
there is no better circumstance created from dispensing with 'inferior' people. in the end all you have is the same crowd of monkeys infesting a rock floating through an abyss until they can cease to be.

and the radiation is a risk to her you stupid fuck.

What the holy fuck is this /lit/? is it /soc/ day and nobody told me?

>>2658517

I know that feel.

People expect me to be good at conversation because I'm good looking.

Also have the crushing knowledge that people are only interested in me because of my looks, and couldn't give a shit about what I say or my interests; they wouldn't talk to me if I was ugly and awkward, but somehow because I'm reasonably handsome this awkwardness is seen as a sign of being 'deep' or 'brooding'. This knowledge means I just get angry at the shallowness of everyone and would rather I got no attention at all.

>>2658542
You only kill life by exterminating it. Killing some organisms is like pruning a rosebush. After pruning you /will/ have a different rushbush. You will have one without shitty branches. The same goes for the human species. I'd rather float around on my rock without being drooled on.

The radiation is also a risk to her future spawn. People take their future spawn into account. Denying this makes you the stupid fuck who is to stubborn to recognise that ethics can apply to non-existent entities.

Sure Anon! Only by naked closeness can we reach the truth!

>>2658563

>rushbush

lel at how this Freudian slip revealed your conservative/far right thinking.

Or perhaps you were alluding to vaginas in a hurry.

>>2658563
yes people act in anticipation but issues of today take precedence and importance diminishes as it gets further from the present

the sin towards life is going against the desires of living things. people dont want to die. people dont like having their loved ones killed or supressed.

mankind is no analogous to a single organism. society is what happens when disparate elements try their best to accomodate one another, it's not one figure work towards its own single dominant purpose.

>>2658416

For me, intelligence and character are more important than anything else. My current boyfriend is a math nerd who dislikes reading. We share common interests in video gaming, films, etc. He's not one I would discuss philosophical matters with, but he's a nice guy who is intelligent in other ways. I've chewed out friends who think less of him for his (lack of) looks.

I'm not saying there aren't self-absorbed, hypocritical women out there. There are. But intelligent/intellectual women do exist. The problem is that many of us are just as unlikely approach you due to social anxiety/introvertedness.

sure. coffee sounds great. i know a cool little place around where i grew up.
