You must be new.

I can't be friends with a man that loves The Beast in the Jungle.

Goodreads is absolute shite for reviews but it's actually decent at listing various editions of books. You don't need an account to look through those though.

Make it better. Start writing good reviews.

One of the worst, less original, most pointless books I've ever read. But that's my opinion.

teach me ur ways, /lit/

Goodreads blows tbh. It's for transparent narcissists that only want to measure dicks/pretend they're esteemed critics

>>6755151
I think it's a good little site. Having friends and tracking progress helps to keep yourself accountable... As in you're more likely to read and give honest reviews and ratings.

I think many reviews are good. Meaning not on average but the chance of you finding one or more good reviews for any given book is big, and that's all you need.

>mfw people actually friended me

I accepted you all as well!

I write reviews, if that kind of thing floats your boat.

how the fuck do I fix my ratings from being permanently 2 less than the actual count

i even cleared the whole database and now I have -2 ratings. my account is fucked

>>6755603
This is how I feel about it. And I like having some /lit/ friends to encourage to read. None are the obnoxious memers that plague this site and everyone's there to actually read.

What this post said.

I have no goodreads friends so far.

>>6759736
I'd rather spend my time reading and writing than maintaining my profile on what is basically MAL for books.

I feel like I'm reading too much /lit/core garbage. Someone who's a member of the /lit/ revival group added me and I'm never posted my profile here, there or anywhere. Blocked him because can't have /lit/ plebs as friends, but it's pretty scary how close plebs can get to you.

Retard, If you read only good books the average rating goes up.

>>6762055
How, oh special one, are you able to tell whether a book is good before you read it?

How the fuck should we know? Ask in a GR support group or something.

I can agree that a trained woman can beat a stronger, untrained, dude.

However, if both are trained the girl is going to get raped in the ass as fast as >pic related.

Goddamn do I miss Capsguy and his silly speed reading shenanigans.

>>6763784
She's kind of correct in the sense that skill > size, but only to a certain extent.
Igor Vovchanchyn is 5'8 and he beat plenty of dudes that were significantly taller and heavier than him. I will admit though that Igor isn't exactly your average fighter.

Either way, when you're a woman you're so physically disadvantaged that it does become important. Not only in height and weight, but also in things like explosive power, and robustness.

Here's Ronda Rousey, the best female fighter in the UFC and arguably in the world, sparring with some guy.
The guy is tossing her around like a ragdoll. Gegard is not a bad fighter by any means, but this is literally the best of the best from the female side, and she's getting wrekt by an above average dude.

>>6763969
>Igor Vovchanchyn
>Not Fyodor Emelianenko

Girl here. I'll let you guys add mine but I don't want people trying to flirt with me or making me a meme here on /lit/

>>6763969
Ronda wasn't losing because she's a girl, she's losing because Gegard fights at 185-205 pounds and she fights at 135. You'd see the same discrepancy in fighting ability between Gegard and Brock Lesnar or Shane Carwin. Watch her up against someone her own size, she'd tool most of the 135 male division.

>>6763984
Potato face man is like 5'11, which is pretty small for a heavyweight but still more or less reasonable.

5'8 is lmao manlet mode IRL, let alone in a heavy weight devision where everybody is like 6'1+.

>>6763992
No she wouldn't.
She could probably beat some guys, but she'd hardly 'tool the male division'.
That'd be pathetic either way.
The best of the best would need to pick on shitty manlet fighters to stand a change.

you're silly!

>>6763999
Weight classes, that's like calling Manny Pacqiou a shitty manlet because he has to fight people around his weight division instead of challenging Klitscho for his belt.

Regardless of weight classes, Cyborg would kill most people.

Period.
