its as hard for an attractive person not to have sex as unattrative to not have sex. If life is perfect there is no need to do anything

Pretty sure you're just jealous that these people are not only more successful than you are, but infinitely more attractive as well.

Thinking is what people have to do when they're not pretty.

Actually, thinking can make a pretty person ugly.

Just look at the evolution of Joyce Carol Oates.

Thank god somebody posted it

Writers have very interesting faces.

Look at this photo of Pynchon. Clearly it is not an attractive face, but there's something to it, isn't there?
At first glance I would have to say that he looks a bit stupid, probably because of his thick low brow and his half-open mouth. This is surprising to me because I happen to like his writing and I think of it as smart and witty. I look closer. I see that he also looks very sad. He isn't smiling. Why? He probably knows that he's ugly and he's probably very insecure about it. That self-awareness makes him seem more intelligent.

This particular portrayal of his face reminds me of that absolutely demonic photo of Kafka with Max Brod at the beach. In both pictures Kafka and Pynchon have the same wide ears and hunched stances, and in both pictures Kafka and Pynchon look a little bit like rats. They are men who hide in holes and dark places and from there they report on what they've found in the abyss of their schizoid minds. They are timid and afraid, they are goofy and strange, and they are incomprehensible yet universal.

I wish we had more ugly writers. Too many (Camus, Mishima, Hemingway) are very handsome, but in their beauty we lose a lot of the details that makes their writing so interesting (actually, Hemingway's self-portrayals add much to the psychological depth of his writing in their posturing and hypermasculinity. Can this concept be applied to Mishima? I will re-evaluate this thought)

I mean that it is difficult to see what I like about their writing in their appearance

writing is a lonely, solitary, unrewarding life.

Why would anyone good looking ever subject themselves to such drudgery if they didn't have to?

That's called aging and it's coming for you too, anon.

If you'd venture outside one in a while, you'd see that unattractive couples are everywhere. Unattractive people have as much sex as attractive ones, you're just projecting coz you're unattractive but can't get any, m80

>>4806878
>he probably knows that he's ugly and he's probably very insecure about it
>projecting this much

I'm ugly and half of my friends are ugly, yet we're some of the most confident (nearly to the point of conceit) people you'll meet. From what I've been able to discern, it's the physically attractive who place way too much importance on their appearance who are the most insecure. They become hypercritical of every little detail that could be perceived as a flaw, thereby, through an ugly insecure all-too-self-aware personality, negating the attractiveness they so desire. We uglies don't all derive our self-worth from our appearances.

>>4807562
that's a nice psych 101 mechanical cause and effect you've stumbled on.

>>4807604
Stop. I was simply speaking anecdotally. That wasn't any sort of attempt at a universal truth.

>>4807562
This has the ring of truth to it.

I really want to pinch McCullers cheeks.

>>4807562
But this is the exact kind of oversensitive reaction that a person who was concerned about any reference to physical beauty would have. Anyways it's well known among his fans that Pynchon was very insecure about his teeth while in high school and college and he has had multiple corrective surgeries to repair them.

>>4807751
Ah, then I stand corrected. I didn't know that.

Excuse me?

>>4807724

Hope you're a dude.

can you reach this cuteness?

>>4807702
She writes, and though I wont be reading any of it, she's attractive enough for this waifu/husbando thread. imo.

>>4807695
She's cute too.

Reve and Patricia are straight.

>>4807874
Haha, patricia highsmith? Who wrote a whole book about her and her lesbian lover?

yeah no

>>4807895
OH! No no no. "Patricia" the woman who claimed to be a patrician who married a plebeian and is raising her child to be a patrician.

Sexy lady

To answer OP's question, because most people are ugly.

>>4807983
Everytime I see this mofo on Madmen I always think of F. Scott

>>4808099
F. Scott looks like your average doughy bourgeois American male from the '20s.

Zelda looks like she has fetal alcohol syndrome.

Anyway here's my contribution to the /lit/ husbando collection.

how did he end up with a qt like Simone?

>>4808112
best char, even better with the eyepatch

>>4808169
tfw I'm still on season 2,where he's still just one of the several fratboy yuppies

>>4808186
he was a handsome fellow

>>4808188
You're still a long way off, but you're in for a treat when you hit episode 8 of season 6. It's by far the most surreal ep of the entire series and is one of the most character-defining moments for Ken (since references to his short-story writing) to boot.

>>4808112
I immediately thought Joyce when I saw the eyepatch though

I'd cuddle the shit out of Du Maurier.

>>4808208
Surreal in what way?

>>4808044

Goddamn Simone was so fucking hot.

>>4808306
You're talking dribble, she was a fucking dog.

>>4808249

that is one homely lookin bitch

damn

>>4808330
What's with the fucking influx of people saying dribble?

It's drivel

>>4808330
>dribble

Is this a thing now?

>>4808293
Just watch it. The crux of the plot rests on an office-wide drug trip, but even points in time outside of the drug trip feature abrupt detours into violence and chaos.

>>4806707
Really? You can't make an okcupid account?

It's somewhat disappointing that surrealism in shows, movies, games (not otherwise surreal) is always the result of a drug trip. But it sounds interesting

He was a qt when he was young

It's because reading is by no means physically active hobby(or job in some cases). Now consider what you do while reading, you run your eyes round the pages while your face is in perpetual fixation, all muscles are relaxed - unless you read in a curious position -, so your face is left with no exception. You may see athletes with slim faces, even when they have some weight, it's because their faces are in constant motion, to produce an emotion or to communicate, so the face muscles never get loose. The fat around the face gets leaner with walking or running since all the fat abates by moving up and down, this is why your face looks slimmer after you run, and you can also remember some writers with slimmer face for example: Nietzsche who claimed to take up climbing and exasperating free walks; Rimbaud who describes nature for he took active part by strolling around it; Hemingway who has taken a part in war. Now the most of the writers does not include themselves in such activity so their calories doesn't get burned, they become fat, and that goes all around the body including their faces, so with the muscles on the face having no exercise to keep them thick the fat drapes down it, to which we account the specific look of the writer.
