If you read books, why aren't you smart?

the people on this board aren't what you would consider to be truly intelligent.

>Cause I'm not that smart
>Cause I've never met a woman who wasn't a fictional character who I was attracted to
But who knows, maybe that will change someday.

>>3095061
this, ignore their misogynistic rants

they are just stupid at heart and brain

>>3095058

Because they're looking for women with big tits and no brains. Women like that aren't looking adorable nerdy guys, they're looking for jocks.

Women also say they like "nice" guys. It's because that's the rational choice, but when those vagina juices get pumping they go straight for the alpha male.

People weren't made to be rational, empiricism is anti-humanity.

Wait, when was it proven that women find intelligence attractive?

>>3095073
Assdevasted female detected. Denying reality is a common trait among the inferior gender.

Do you think it's possible that women really do find intelligence attractive but that it's not the most important factor? It plays a role, but after confidence and charisma and physical good looks. Obviously I'm generalizing, but if you have two Brad Pitt clones that only differ in intelligence then the woman is probably going to chose the more intelligent one, unless she has some crippling inferiority complex that makes her hate intelligent people because she is threatened by them. People are fucking complicated.

Yeah, I know it's a troll thread.

Women are considered deep – why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.

Because 'intelligent' seems to mean 'having alot of money'

>>3095130
my name is alex actually

>>3095066

Im looking for a nerdy flat-chested girl. The problems are
1 all women are hyper critical of even the slightest social awkwardness
2. most nerdy girls are fat - not chubby, not out of shape, *fat*, i could even cut slack for that if it wasnt for the fact that they also usually put no effort into their appearance and/or have poor hygiene
3: most even remotely nerdy girls are afraid of people, places and things, and are even bigger shutins and nolives than neckbeard males, so I cant run into them in the kinds of place i go.

honestly, what i want in a gf at this point in life is that she be sane and not physically repulsive, which i dont think is asking a lot.

Typical female grammar.

>>3095058
lol wat?
I find intelligence attractive. Women find being a simplistic narcissistic extroverted manipulative asshole attractive.
The most intelligent people in all History have been rejected by most of the society because they couldn't understand them thus having sex a few times on their lives (thanks to desperate ugly chicks and whores).

>>3095162

1) because history, science and religion all state that you should
2) because people who *have* had experience with women universal become misogynist
3) because the "fact" that you are "superior" to every male you've ever met doesn't mean that any of them were inferior to women, with whom you admit you have no experience.

>>3095165
>LOL I BET YOU HAVENT EVEN HAD A DATE AND UR PENIS IS SMALL JUST LIKE HITLER xDDD

Women really are pathetic creatures.

what's a book that has a female central character that's relatable and likable?

Oh look, another creature that is inferior to me.

>1. blindly follow authority

A fallacious and loaded personal attack on an anonymous and public forum.

If you think history states that you should be a misogynist then you are an eisegetic reader.

Goody I get to post this again

Assdevasted, I like it

>>3095058
how exactly are you defining intelligence?
i would say that a man that possesses a high degree of competency in attracting and mating with women is more intelligent than one who does not

>>3095058

I have been asking myself that question for many years.

Why, OP? Do you have an idea as to why this is?

>>3095137

1. many but not all.
2. I think that's true of most people in general, the weight issue. But you can still be overweight without putting less effort into your appearance and having poor hygiene. I am disappointed in my fellow femanerds for this if it is truly the case.
3. Maybe you need to change the places you frequent. You don't go duck hunting in the city, anon. If you want to find something, you look in places it is most likely to be. I suggest college classes, libraries, book clubs, creative writing clubs, whatever.

I don't think wanting a gf that is sane and relatively appealing is too much to ask! They're definitely out there.

>>3095223
women are attracted to intelligence
if you were truly intelligent than you would know how to attract them
you don't, therefore you are not

>>3095186
>eisegetic

If you read history in any way other than one which promotes misogyny - or at least "sexism", which leftist faggots *call* "misogyny" - then *you*, sir or madam, are the eisegetic reader.

those guys are successful because they put on an act that makes people like you feel intelligent, they are selling you self-confidence while letting you live vicariously
i wish i was smart enough to market my talents like that

>>3095069

>Women also say they like "nice" guys.

Women do like nice guys, but what they really want is confidence. Some nice guys lack confidence, and instead of working on being more confident these "nice guys" take to the internet and complain like limp-dicked bitches.

The irony here is that being resentful no longer makes them nice guys. So they're left with no confidence and no little title of "nice guy" to cling to for self-affirmation.

I see this shit all the time on this site.

It's fucking pathetic.

>>3095262
People watch Honey Boo Boo because she's a freakshow. That doesn't make her intelligent.

When a women says intelligence, she means social intelligence, not being good at maths.

>>3095174

>itemizing points in a rant

Virginity reaching critical levels.

>>3095270
honey boo boo is a little kid, but her mother certainly has a diabolical intelligence for exploiting the poor kid so successfully
also if you actually listen to honey boo boo you can tell that she is much more articulate and observant than the average 6 year old

Let me just drop my thoughts and experiences here for a second.

While it's true that women seem to go after the hard-ass type that will always hurt them (>>3095069), it's also true that they tend to go for these guys not because of their aggression or personality, but their confidence (>>3095269). Many women just seem to prefer confidence over kindness. If they really like a guy who they talk to, but he never asks her out, then some asshole she doesn't really like asks her out, she'll go after that guy more because he has confidence and he knows what he wants, while she'll feel turned off by a guy who doesn't seem like he knows what he wants, even if it is simply just a lack of confidence.

It has to be taken into account, though, that some people weren't meant to be together. Me, I'm a massive pussy, I never talk to girls. One girl I instantly "fell for" and asked out for the first time in my life. I was confident in my speech, manner, whatever, and didn't come across as an asshole (I think). But after a couple [what I called dates to myself, but she clearly did not] her manner and actions proved she was not interested in me the way I was interested in her. I was confident, I was kind, but she wasn't interested. Some people are interested in some people, and some people simply aren't, for one reason or another. There's nothing I can blame for her not "falling for me" in the way I did her; it was just not something that was meant to happen, she didn't want it. So I stopped pushing. I didn't loose my confidence, I just reacted the way it seemed she wanted me to react.

just a thought.

you don't have to be smart to get on a reality tv show. as a matter of fact, you are more likely to succeed if you are stupid. case in point: every reality tv "star" you've said is smart itt.

>It is a little annoying that I wasted my attention on you for as long as it took to say this.

>>3095304
i believe in the old Forrest Gump adage "stupid is as stupid does"
thus "smart is as smart does"
i see people who have become financially, socially, and romantically successful through their own efforts and i consider them intelligent

>>3095319

most reality stars end up penniless once their fifteen minutes of fame is up.
...
because they are stupid.

Ask yourself, do you even find intelligence attractive? Guess what an intelligent girl that's butt ugly looks like to you? Butt fucking ugly. Women only say, they want nice, intelligent, creative guys because women are socially programmed to be nice.

>>3095345
Men are much more visually oriented. Apples and oranges.

Looks take a backseat to power, fame, or other forms of social value(money).

i try to be nice and start a real conversation and it's just more back and forth name calling and buzzword dropping.

A whole thread dedicated to beta young men being angry about being lumbered with a sexuality they have idea how to deal with, yet strangely full of attempts to tease any female reader viewers in other to form at least some form of connection with them.

>>3095420
Careful gentlemen, this hambeasts anger is reaching critical mass.

ITT generalizations. And bullshit from both genders.
Motherfuckers, listen. Pointing your finger at someone because of their gender/race/nationality/religion is pure bullshit. Don't say, "All men are chauvinistic pig bastards who are mentally inferior to women" because that just simply isn't true. Also, don't say, "All women are gold-digging bimbos. I can't understand what they're saying because they always have cocks in their mouths" cause guess what - this isn't true either.

So everyone, please, shut the hell up. This isn't what this board is for.

I almost exclusively read male-authored works because women-authors are usually incapable of getting over the fact that they are women-authors. They tend to be women first and authors second, this glares through in the work, and I find it insufferable.

Some female authors are tolerable, however.

>>3095453

>>3095420

English as a second language, I take it.

And the sad thing is that I've noticed what women want a man to do in the "courtship ritual" is, in fact, just a glorified version of pulling her hair on the playground or, as you put it, flicking her bra-strap. This is true well into their 30s, embarrassingly enough...

>this thread

>>3095424

Dont say "there's one exception out there, therefore no generalizations can ever be made" because that just simply isn't true. If a generalization is true 51% of the time, it is worthwhile, the more likely it is to be true the more valid it is.

Why would I marry? It ties me down to one woman, and is a waste of my resources.

I wouldn't want to live with a woman. They're only good for sex.

>>3095519
That's sad. You should try to form a deep emotional bond with someone. It makes you feel content with yourself, and even the sex is a lot better.

I've been in many long term relationships and I have yet to find a girl who can keep their shit on point even half the time. I hooked up with a girl 2 weeks ago who lost her job, decided it was a good idea to MOVE after losing said job, and now had to sell her car to make ends meet. I have been able to hold my shit down on lock since I was 17
