/lit/ - Literature

Because the more intelligent you are, the stupider everyone around you is, and the more bitter you become.

Obviously you don't understand what's attractive, beucase I'm a complete idiot, and get tons of pussy

Because I'm not a lesbian.

This.

>talking to girl outside when smoking a fag
>so what do you for fun anon?

Every. Fucking. Time.

>>3509815
Because intelligence is not attractive, this has been already explained multiple times.

>>3509815
>tfw not the frontcam of that iphone

tuer moi

>>3509826
that means she wants sex with you idiot

cuz I'm not intelligent.

>>3509828
Can I touch your cunt?

>>3509839

im a forced meme btw

girls are already attracted to me because im handsome, i just dont give a shit

>>3509838
noep

And the award for shittiest thread ever on /lit/ goes to...

>>3509851
Can I?

>>3509847
>girls are already attracted to me because im handsome, i just dont give a shit

Tfw I'm exactly the same apart from the fact I'm not handsome.

>>3509854
noep

I'm really into monogamy and already married.

>>3509860
Monogamy is outdated. I'll be gentle, I promise.

Must be my looks.

Ehmm. Been married. Divorced. Other girlfriends. Love my solitude.

>>3509815
cos i'm not intelligent i just like books with words in

>>3509869

Tell us about it.

I do, though was single for two years before this.

Not to the majority it isn't, and that takes care of your question.

OP, your argument has no middle term. I can't believe I'm the first to point this out in twenty posts. You guys are a bunch of dilettantes. Goodbye.

>>3510028
>implying it's not

dyer

>>3510028
>Monogamy
MMXIII

Enjoy those fake ideals that you've been conditioned to chase.

>>3510028
marriage was the big one but yeah monogamy too

Speak for yourself, OP. As long as you don't behave like an ass-hat and can be at least mildly amusing, most attractive women are willing to forgive a lot in a man. Age, weight, baldness, unemployment, etc.

You'll be surprised of your results with the opposite sex if you actually talked to them like a normal human being once in awhile.

Because I'm not a lesbian.

u wot m8

Why do you assume everyone on /lit/ doesn't have a girlfriend? I hardly see how posting on a online lit board presupposes on as a social loser

>>3510200
well, most great philosophers didn't have wives. Ofcourse there are exceptions to this rule, but most didn't.
Maybe the true intellectueel is single. Who knows?

>>3510207
also:
>tfw no qt lit gf

>>3510207
>well, most great philosophers didn't have wives.
Care to defend this?

>>3510219
Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein. To name a few.

>>3510207
It's because having girlfriends/wives/sex is one of those things you only do if you don't think much.

>inb4 "butthurt virgin detected lololol"

Not a virgin. Just too experienced.

>>3509826
>implying every girl doesn't want to fuck her dad

But, seriously, are you fucking retarded?

It isn't.

>>3510225
>It's because having girlfriends/wives/sex is one of those things you only do if you don't think much.
>Not a virgin. Just too experienced.

Sure thing, kid.

>If Intelligence is attractive, why don't you have a girlfriend /lit/?

Because charisma and confidence are even more attractive, and I wouldn't exactly call those strengths of mine.

>>3510239
I'm likely older than you, but okay. Keep basing your decisions around a fuckhole.

>>3510246
>I'm likely older than you
Doubt it.
>Keep basing your decisions around a fuckhole.
Your tantrum confirms my suspicions. Thanks.

>>3510250
If only your passive-aggressiveness could confirm anything.

>>3510246

>I'm likely older than you

If this is true then it's even sadder, but you're trying to prove your worth to younger kids online.

Either way, you lose.

>>3509826
>says he reads
>doesn't know what the oedipus complex is

>>3510254
Again, you fail to give proof to back up claims other than:

>adolescent angst
>laughably sad justifications for your sorry romantic/sex life; attempt to project that onto the lives of truly great people
>tantrums

Considering that at least three of your aforementioned philosophers were practicing homosexuals, you stand to make a better claim that homosexuality has some kind of bearing on the life of the mind.

>>3510255
Because participating in an internationally famous (infamous?) Internet forum in the year AD 2013 is somehow "sad".

>>3510255
Please. I was responding to a subject he invoked. Get the context of the argument before deciding your opinion is worth contributing.

>>3510207
>intellectueel

Most of the posters here are bitter beta losers who wouldn't know what to do with a girl if they had one. They use their above average intelligence to rationalize themselves as being victims of their intelligence because it's easy. In reality they just make the same dumb mistakes over and over with women

Nothing in itself is attractive so to say intelligence is attractive is nonsense. People, including women, respond to actions. They respond to behaviors that occur in the real world not descriptive ideas such as someone's intelligence. Being intelligent entails a variety of possible behaviors that individual will commit. If someone and wanted to make an effort to attract women they'd use their intelligence to learn how to be charming, how to behave in a way that is effective for making themselves desirable. You know, be nice, witty, carry a conversation that tailors to the given level of the person they are trying to attract. They'll be able to gauge what is working and what isn't, be aware of the effect their behavior is having, and adapt so as to get the effect they want. Do this well enough and eventually you'll attract someone. Intelligence is a tool and some people use it to their advantage while some use it in a way that works against them. Intelligence can never be a bad thing but the behavior you commit with your intelligence can be. Being intelligent already puts you in a better position than people who mindlessly fall into the consequences of their actions, letting things happen as they happen. Use your intelligence to control your behavior and thus control the consequences.

>>3509815
actually OP, I happen to have a qt azn gf. I know, I know, it's pretty crazy, surprised me too.

But it's not just for my intelligence, it's also for my good looks

>>3510318
Post a fit.

>>3510275
>Again

You mean, "for the first time".

>proof

Because the two post conversation we've had involved anything necessitating proof. You posted some lolimage and slapped on a "sure, kid" and called it a day. That's not a conversation that requires proof.

>sorry romantic/sex life

I don't think I posted anything about my sex/romantic life. You just had your feelings hurt when I called certain things characteristically dumb and passively-aggressively threw a

>tantrum

>aforementioned philosophers

Who? When did I post these? Are you drunk?

>>3510309
>I wasted all this time typing up pure bullshit

>>3510320
so you can masturbate to it? I think not

>>3510324
Yeah faggot, wallow in your own cum despairing on how unfair the world is to you while you grab more Kleenex and jerk off to how smart you think you are.

>>3510324
And my time with it.

>>3510338
The fact that you think that is characteristic of how anybody behaves proves to me how little you actually think about things before posting them. You're trapped in a stupid little thought bubble, only making connections within that bubble.

I have a deep fear of losing control over my own fate.

>>3509815
Cuz I have a small dick OP. Why, if it was any smaller it'd go in instead of out

>>3510344
Are you referring to my obviously exaggerated insult or my longer post?

>>3510353
Both, dipshit. You are a dumb person and your contributions to the board make it worse. Leave.

>>3510321
>lolimage
I'm sorry. I thought you were actually interested in a serious discussion. Then again, this is /lit/. Apologies to you, good madam or sir!

>>3510352

>Why, if it was any smaller

Hilarious use of 'why', man. Made the whole thing sound like a punchline from Victorian England.

Haha, what a pussy.

>>3510355
Look man, it's not fucking rocket science. If you want something the best thing to do is figure out how you can get it then try doing that, see how well it works, then adjust your method so you can do it better, and eventually you'll see results. The alternative is being a little defeatist bitch and think you're a victim of something you can't control and thus do nothing. Where's that gonna get you? Are you really gonna tell me the first method isn't better than the other?

>>3510363
I aim to please, since I clearly can't do it in the bedroom.

I'm gonna go cry in my sad corner now.

Patently false. Feynman fucked bitches daily.

I am not a nice person. I can't feign interest when a girl bores me, or doesn't put out, rather I become irritated. When she retaliates; checks her phone, talks to someone else, leaves, I get offended and never speak to her again.

You can see clearly what's wrong, but its hard to change.

>>3509815

I pretend to be dumb and that isn't working out too well either. Maybe women are all shallow cunts whose biologically determined desire to be raped translates itself, in modern times, into a compulsive need to be seduced or tricked into sex or a relationship, instead of appreciating people with similar or interesting character traits, knowledge, taste, etc.

Tl;dr: women are awful and if you don't hate them yet then you aren't experienced enough

It's not that intelligence is unattractive, it's that many people with high intelligence have no clue how to utilize it in social settings. A great example is people with an extensive vocabulary that aren't aware of the right settings to actually use their vocabulary. When you're at a club the woman you're talking with more than likely doesn't want to hear you talking like a Shakespearean soliloquy, she wants to be able to relate to what you're saying. The hardest thing to grasp is how to show your intelligence, you want to come off as the smartest person in the room but only by a little bit, if you show too much you will ostracize yourself from the group/situation and spend eternity jerking off to hentai and reading Hemingway.

>>3510224
Edgar Bauer (1820–1886) would later record that Stirner had confessed that having once caught sight of his wife naked he had been unable to touch her again. I

Wow, this thread is really awful. Like, some of the worst shit I've seen on /lit/ in awhile. My expectations weren't high, but damn, there is layer upon layer of pitiful material here.

>see a pic of a naked girl on 4chan

>>3510676
>>3510694
i have caught myself speaking like zizek

not the accent, but the some of the vocabulary, and the way he drops some prepositions, articles. he probably drops other kinds of words from his sentences, but i would have to go back and listen to some videos again

i actually have no problem with this, somehow it seems as though i actually make my point more clearly this way then if i use gramatically correct full sentences

>>3510694
>horrible sheduction of the flesh
Thish ish what I really enjoy, no compromishes for good tashte or high quality.

I would rather jesht be left alone, see? Just write one good book about ghegel and then i would be happy. apoligies for being bad father.

Its been my experience that most men who are or attempt to be intelligent are or do so because they are afraid of women and retreat to their mind.

Im afraid of my mind and retreat to women.

no, no, i am stalin, see.

Intelligence doesn't make a woman want to take a dick

>>3510737

It's less a fear of women than a lack of ability in a strong mind to control how women make one feel.

>>3510745
no no, exactly! power is that wich makes women aroused sexually, see. this is one of the great benefits of totalitarianism. you are not allowed to say thiengs like this, i know, but there has been a study in former yuguslavia about high birth rates under autoritarian-- in fact we know a joke about this that is quite

>>3510751
Thats probably true, but I dont know if I would like this.

You mind explaining this more? I mean, at first glance it sounds like your advocating numbing your sensitivity to women and romance in general.

You can thank me for that bit of genius later

Men with a large degree of intellect (emotional intelligence is included in this) tend to think of that which is personally important to them as existing apart from the thing in itself, as existing as a part of a larger 'whole' to which they might attach qualities that are nonexistent in reality.

The fantasy lives of men like this are often very rich, and lead to inevitable disappointment when faced with the truth of any given matter. Love and sexual relationships in particular are informed by this manic sort of 'storytelling' in which that which is adored is idolized. This leads in turn to modes of thinking that can be harmful to healthy communication and interaction.

In short, those with charged emotional connection to ideas and how the world around them plays into those ideas have a tendency to eventually shirk from that which might lead to total lack of ability to control one's behavior.

>>3510781
So if someone fits perfectly into what you just said, what would you advice them to do? Is there something to read to gain more insight into this (did you get this from something)?

Also, 10/10 if youre trolling me

I'm attracted to women who I consider intelligent., Even when they're not physically attractive. I've only met two. One of them I didn't say anything because too shy and the other I said too much.

I can't bring myself to chase or even lust after regular women.

>>3510801
Where did you meet those two

Because I am not intelligent.

There are two way to interpret this sentence, both are correct.

>>3510809
University. There's still time to meet others but I don't have high hopes.

>>3510438
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as this guy. I've only met one chick who I would consider my intellectual equal, but now she goes to Amherst and has likely already fucked a million guys who are doubtlessly more intelligent than I.

I'm attracted to alpha females with a nurturing side. They're pretty rare, though. Most women are shameless in their cowardice. Fit chicks tend to fit the bill most of the time. They've reached goals, are aware of struggle, and are hooked on that kind of life.

>>3510858
>alpha females
no such thing

>>3510879
You haven't lived.

>>3510809
not the guy you're replying to, but i've met and known many, many intelligent women

i've met most of them in graduate school, at academic conferences, at guest-lecturer/invited scholar-speaker types of evening events, political demonstrations, art and music shows, and through friends of friends i make in my classes.

as much as i want to believe people on 4chan must never leave their house/apt/dorm, never put any effort into themselves or truly listen to others, and make hasty conclusions, i also checked if i lived in an especially educated city. turns out the city i live in appears in many 'top educated cities' lists. so my experience is probably exceptional. you should go to graduate school if finding an intelligent mate is really high up on your priority list

I do. She's smart too. Its cool.

>>3510793

What advice would I have? I'm in a fix with this myself. I fall in love with ideas and run away from the people they're attached to. I quietly advise myself to quit smoking cannabis and see a therapist but I can't get a grasp on follow-through.

This is a lot of my own thinking. Read whatever suits you on human thinking and behavior.
