The school is often called the best tech school in the world (CalTech) and the faculty and students are generally polymath (or moreso than you'll find basically anywhere). With male colleagues there are certainly some who are not "into" literature but equally common are men who are well read in philosophy, politics, social science, and literature in various languages. With women it's a completely different story, they are only "comfortable" discussing literature insofar as the abstract interplay of different schools have been explained to them by men in lit classes they've taken

Out of curiosity, do they have kids? I know some people might enjoy watching Disney films after being forced to watch it with their children.
I just don't see what benefit a woman has from being the middle ground between us and children. Or perhaps there is no biological or social reason. They just are.

They don't, they were just married in July.

the woman in question is Palestinian. she's spoiled though: her dad is a wealthy businessman in Dubai, and she grew up in Anglo countries (Canada and the US) in the lap of luxury.

>I just don't see what benefit a woman has from being the middle ground between us and children. Or perhaps there is no biological or social reason.

huh, isn't it obvious? If women are psychologically closer to children they can relate to children more easily, hence their propensity for skill in child-rearing.

You don't think certain men make the conscious decision to orient their life in such a way that they know will result in their losing access to sex? Some people choose not to interact with other people. I'm not totally happy about it but I don't really have the motivation to discontinue my current habits because I don't personally see the point in social interaction with someone who is "midway between a child and a man" and I don't care to give up free time merely for the sake of acquiring sex

kek I appreciate the sentiment. I'm extremely introverted as well, to me the energy/reward tradeoff of pursuing social relationships isn't worth it.

I've been in longterm sexual relationships. You know how they say the male forebrain continues to develop until the age of about 25? Well somewhere along the way I came up against a wall of adverse circumstances in my life resulting in the end of an important relationship to me, it left some psychosocial trauma and part of my coping mechanism involved burying myself in autodidact-ism of every subject that interests me. This ended up in my becoming increasingly dependent on escaping to realms of abstract thought all on my lonesome and at some point I realized I'd changed so much that I don't even really know how I'll ever reinsert myself into interpersonal reality

I feel like this too, she reads way faster and better than I do, but I try to read more shit than she does.

She mostly reads philosophical essays and poetry. She also likes Zelda Fitzgerald a lot and says she has an spiritual connection with her.

I got the Richard Pevear everyman’s library one on amazon because it claimed to be “closest to the original russian”. I can’t really verify that statement though. This was my introduction to Dolstoesvki and Russian literature in general and I have found it very easy to read.

"better" is subjective, I'm still a viable adult male and I feel compelled to pursue social life and to breed, I'd love to start a family for instance but considering I don't have friends and don't attempt to make friends the prospect of doing so is abstract and distant
I feel shitty about it a lot of the time, but I also remember how shitty unrequited love feels and I'm definitely phobic of ever putting myself in that situation again, and I honestly think if I went all the way to making a family with someone and it didn't work out I would be completely broken psychologically. Basically I don't trust women anymore and the realm of the intellect is at least something I have control over
Right now I feel a stronger compulsion to learn about things because I feel ignorant, the world is too enormous and I have an egotistical desire to wrap my mind around everything. As a result I'm a dissipated wreck of a person but I always have something to do with my time

in other words, DO SOMETHING NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, LOL

Sad man. But I also know the pain of rejection. I don’t know how to trust women anymore either. They seem foreign ad distant to me. Being a graduate student in Comp. Sci doesn’t help either.

My biggest blocker is this riddle I can’t get past. Unlike you i am no chad so i have to work for it hard, like really hard. Is it worth it the work to get married to a mediocre girl with few looks that has taken a mile of dick and can then take half my shit at her leisure? Is this the bounty of a lover’s toil?

Also, the world of human knowledge is now too large for a single mind. You will disolve you self into nothing if you don’t find focus.

>grad student
At least you're working on something concrete, my dude. That's something to be proud of

And as for being a chad I had said previously that I'm "genetically" "gifted", but I basically meant that I have(had, lel) a nice face and I'm tall. Poor hygiene and mental health can really fuck you up physically so at this point I'm somewhat far-gone in that respect.
But as you get older physical traits seem to matter less and less to women as far as I can tell. Women are generally more pragmatic about romance than men as someone else in this thread has pointed out. It becomes more a matter of having a stable/valuable personality and having some "circumstance" to bring to the table.
As for me I said previously that I have a shit personality, so I'm broke, unqualified, AND I don't play well with others. It's a magic formula for loneliness. Obviously you don't have to submit yourself to being like me if you don't want to and it sounds like you're a "reliable" enough person to at least set your mind on achieving something. Whether or not you can have a stable relationship just depends on how much you personally want to be with someone else. It does take some work, as you said. It's a trade-off and I won't lie to you and say that I know what the proper choice is

And as for the world being too big, it really is! There are not enough hours in the day and I am completely torn between staying alive, being a 21st century dilettante and keeping up/wrapping my brain around fucking /pol/ happenings and mentally preparing for the likely insane future coming down the pipes. Shits crazy my man

That was a nice ramble, hope that gave you a good sense of how not to be :-)

> the male forebrain continues to develop until the age of about 25
>tfw 4 months away from being a 25 year old virgin

I am perfectly functional in a platonic context, to the point that people expect me to be equally romantically/sexually successful. But actually I had a very hard time with girls through college, and was only starting to improve, being on the cusp of successfully dating/having sex when I finished school. Haven't been on a date since. At this point an intimate connection is such a foreign idea to me that I can't even imagine what it would be like, while at the same time I can see that the lifetime lack of it is increasingly wearing me down. The motivation to exercise and even to read, which have been the two things keeping me afloat, is slipping away. I'm losing the fight against myself. I have occasional moments (from minutes to whole days) when I feel a rage to live, but I always slip back into the mire.

Most of my non-reading time is now spent thinking about killing myself and vacillating on the issue. I can't get it out of my head. In my moments of hope it seems like most of my problems are just a few simple decisions away (get a job, ask out a few girls) but frankly I'm in so deep that I don't even really want to get better. I just don't want to be here. I want this to be over. The gulf between my condition and even a semblance of happiness seems so insurmountable as to not even be worth approaching. I don't even know what "happy" would be.

don't go full blackpill my friend, life is worthwhile even without having friends or romance. And to be completely honest, loneliness is only a problem in the way you've described yourself insofar as the only thing that matters to you is interpersonal relationships. I've felt the way you do and relief came to me from finding other aspects of life that bring me joy. If you figure out a way to be less focused on the overly negative outlook (that you're a virgin and there's a cosmic stopwatch ticking away) and just take joy in being alive you are drastically more likely to make some friends. It's hard for me to completely relate to what you're saying because I feel like I've gotten over that hump and submitted myself to loneliness, but I don't see any reason to tell you that you definitely have to do the same. Everyone is different. Only thing I know is that suicide is pretty much always the shitty option if you're healthy and young

The people where I am are some of the smartest people on the planet. Everyone is tech-minded but there are far more generally intelligent polymathic people here than in a random sample of people. Usually being highly intelligent comes with having many interests

Maybe it has somewhat to do with affirmative action enrollment leading objectively lower-percentile (IQ) female students. Among the staff it's a different story because basically everyone at higher rungs of the departments are geniuses and though there are much fewer women in those roles, they are usually somewhat "male" in their apparent cognitive "format"

I relate to this so hard. It's really jarring when someone casually brings up sex in a really mundane conversational way that makes it clear they just assume I (like a normal human being, I guess?) am regularly having sex, or have ever had sex at all. I am, after all, a remarkably normally guy in pretty much ever respect.
Like just casually complaining that the good brands of condoms are just annoyingly expensive for something so simple. Presented with the same casual banality as "geez, have you seen the price of avocados these days?" But to me, as a 22-year old virgin, sex is still some distant pipedream. And every year it seems to feel less and less likely I'll ever have it.

Here is something from a Houellebecq that smashed me in the feels that you might relate to.

>Sure. It's been hopeless for a long time, from the very beginning. You will never represent, Raphaël, a young girl's erotic dream. You have to resign yourself to the inevitable; such things are not for you. It's already too late, in any case. The sexual failure you've known since your adolescence, Raphaël, the frustration that has followed you since the age of thirteen, will leave their indelible mark. Even supposing that you might have women in the future - which in all frankness I doubt - this will not be enough; nothing will ever be enough. You will always be an orphan to those adolescent loves you never knew. In you the wound is already deep

Sometimes I wish I never read at all so that I would be blind to such beautiful possibilities of love and companionship.

your posts are an extremely accurate portray of my existence as well. i've been on imageboards for quite a long time, but realizing that, deep down, many of us are the the one and the same never fails to strike a chord with me. the word's best and brightest are really the most broken souls.
i've always been obsessed with becoming a sort of goethe's Faust and that prevented me from developing any significant social relationship because I never felt like I lived up to the image I seeked to have. i was good-looking, but it wasn't enough so i have refused almost every girl who wanted to indulge in intercourses with me during the adolescence, i was a good programmer, but still not enough to outsmart every other in a comp. sci lab and the envy took the best of me and boycotted my social interactions. math, literature, cinema knowledge? the same. but the thirst for knowledge never decreased. and here am I, 24 yo, with an ever-increasing lust for learning despite the inevitable neuroticism that I developed over the years.

The MacAndrew translation isn't bad btw, it can just be a bit too contemporary and Americanized in places for my taste. McDuff is a generally solid choice, not as many people shit on it as they do with Garnett and P&V, which both have their merits but tend to be polarizing.

I don’t understand what you mean by that Chad. Basically I realized I wanted to say this >>10238766 anon’s quote. Adult love seems almost transactional to me in a way. Its missing something dolstoyevski captures between Lise and Alyosha. Something like the raw emotion innocence brings. Basically unlike you I haven’t had girls love me all sorta of way. Only some ways. Usually with the resigned passion of a second love.

It might be some naive /r9k/ impulse but I feel that first teen love can be something greater, because of how divorced from "real life" you are at that age. Dedicating your whole existence to interacting with peers outside of the adult world, I don't know if it's nostalgia or if there really was an affect of magic realism. I'm feeling that Houllebeque quote again

Kek are you implying adult love isn’t filled with shitty dramas? Shitty drama is inevitable only when you’re older you’re also risking half your shit and your children.
It also gets harder to tell why a girl likes you. Is she there for your cirmstance or because she actually likes you. You can have status in adolescent life don’t get me wrong but it’s qualitatively a different thing. It’s not perfect, perhaps its not even better but I missed it and hurts. It also taints my future loves because if I wasn’t worthy enough in youth why am I worthy enough now? In a sense that initial rejection taints all later love like in this guys quote.

That's actually a very honest and healthy way of looking at relationships, but I would remind you long lasting romantic love is a comiseratint kind where you share with each other your weights and aches.

Toni Morrison's Beloved had a line from one lover to the other: "Let me put my stories next to yours." I think that speaks to the iterant friendship necessary for love.

Sure that was dismissive bullshit. But saying it’s all in your head isn’t all that informative. I get it those are my problems and perhaps the same problem many anons face. I talk about it here because with likeminded individuals perhaps there is a solution: a better way to think about this problem that causes us so much suffering. The fact that plenty of anons experience a similar pain and that entire books have been written to deal with the solitude of modern man tells me that perhaps it’s not a problem solved solely by indicating it’s within our head.
I suspect though that the romantization of youthful love is a symptom of something deeper.

I wrote a long post explaining teenage love but i delete it. Anyways, yes, you're a r9k frog. Teenage love is great at the start but then it slowly becomes boring and you realize you were getting memed by your hormones all along and it inevitably ends up badly. Adult love is better exactly because you're fully immersed in real life.

I told her I wanted to build something but she had no sense of responsibilities, and didn't want to get engaged into something.

I'm not that other guy. I do think that someone in that position missed out on something legitimate, especially if they're an older virgin like I am.

And you're wrong. If you didn't put so much credence in it as important then you'd be just as happy (or unhappy) as the next normie.

It goes without saying that it's not really about sex, it's the state of being in a teenage relationship, when literally all that matters is the other person. I saw friends of mine experience that in high school, but I never did. I do get a melancholic glimpse of it when read I read stuff like Romeo and Juliet, but i'll never actually know what it's like. And it's easy to dismiss the anguish that causes as silly romanticizing, but you don't know how it feels unless you've experienced it yourself.

I'm not dismissing the anguish as silly romanticising, I'm saying it's silly romanticising that causes the anguish. It's real pain but it's pain you can end by realising the causes of it are spooks, sold to you by unrealistic romances in various media.

Sex is overrated anyways mate - and there is nothing wrong with not having had it, so don't feel ashamed. I haven't scored enough puss to actually know how i did it so i cannot guide you on that, but my guide to kissing a girl easily so you can get past lip virginity:

>Drink with cute girl
>Get drunk both of you
>Lean closer while you talk with her
>When you are quite close let her lean closer
>Take it slow and keep the conversation running
>At some point your lips collide and you kiss her

I'm an autist so i know the problems with eye contact and stuff, but do your best - look at eyes, lips, face repeat slowly and relaxed. That's my guide.

It will work if she has an interest in you - create an interest by being hot. Be hot by wearing some clothes that suit you, getting your hair and beard in order, not smelling and having another interest than video games only.

I see this attitude a lot when discussing sex with normies in general. It's like the classic ideal of female virtuosity is shameful and needs purging. I understand that times have changed considerably but it seems to have been the standard for a very long time. I have yet to see the argument that this new free love model is really better than what came before. Furthermore just because an ideal is hard to attain it doesn't mean you should kill it.

I like your strong position. But let me posit that understanding the banality of youthful love is like trying to understand love itself through reading alone. It's obvious to the experienced observer that it is a banal endeavor but the rest of us are left to fill the void with unreachable ideals. You can't really understand it's details and faults without experiencing and without it you are, in a sense, incomplete. It doesn't seem to me that the pain of so many anons is just in our heads. There is something real here.

So your claim is that we are romanticizing an impossible kind of love and this unhealthy attachment causes pain. I understand it's unhealthy and letting go is the right thing to do. However, at least for me, the pain came from ready Dostoevsky and I don't think he is trying to sell me some ideal of love. Would you say the same thing about Shakespeare? Perhaps it's something more akin to a natural state of the human condition.

I think it's natural for people to romanticise love in an unrealistic way because it makes their loves feel more special. It's not so much that they want to sell you the idea as the idea sells (makes popular) the media it's in. People *want* to believe in the transcendent, people *want* to believe their partner is the Fated One For Them, but if you have half a brain you know that's just biology and you can help yourself by being strong about it and not giving in to silly ideals.

Girl I'm seeing is a bit like this and it's worrying me. She seems very superficially non-chalant about things that should get a rise or stimulate some thought in most people. Like she doesn't preceive things beyond what they appear to be at a most basic level. This makes me wonder whether any real connection can even be had with her, I fear this relationship would have a feel of utilitarian mentorship. I fear most relationships between men and women are like that. Men provide utility and knowledge, women provide pussy and neither gets to really know eachother as they are.

Yes, all that matters is the presence and the way you carry yourself. Yes it's easier for tall people to have a bigger presence, but manlets can do it too if they put in the work, and they can easily supersede the average if they put the effort in.

Anon, speaking as an actual gril, height is not that important to most of us. I doubt I would ever be attracted to a guy who is shorter than me, but I'm 5'4, so anything over that I would accept. 5'6 is fine, really. Then, there are of course loads of women who are much shorter than that and who feel similarily. What I'm trying to say is get your body in shape, make sure to take care of your skin, dress well, hygiene, etc., and your appearance should not be any problem.

It's mostly because your attitude towards your condition is simply weakness. Instead of facing the injustices of life and fighting for what you want you give up and claim victimhood. In a sense you are right but claiming it like you are makes you unmanly and unattractive. True men face the adversities of life and try to make the best of what they have. Don't pray to false ideals that keep you from reaching fulfillment. The way man doesn't face nature by claiming itself a victim and begging for empathy.

But that's completely inconsistent with the notion that height doesn't matter to most girls, which is what you said. It means that height matters to the point where it can be the sole factor that keeps you from dating someone. And if you're below the average height of women in your country, that means that it's already impossible for you to date most women.

Really anon? Really? Comparing fucking and having a relationship to the NBA? Seriously? You are seriously deluding yourself. Look dude every single one of your ancestors reproduced successfully. Every single one. You are their descendant, flesh of their flesh. The ability to reproduce is innate in you that's just the way it is.
>all I'd have left would be 6/10 girls or worse
And the truth is you don't know until you try. If you stopped whining and actually tried you'd be surprised at how much you can get. I get it you're scared of failing who the fuck isn't. Worse, what you get probably won't be your unrealistic ideal but if you go through the journey of life and actually try to learn you'll be in a far better place than you are now. At the very least you will be able to live with your sorry ass instead of whining to yourself about what could have been if life was fair.

agreed. I'm 5'2" and I have gotten an average amount of vaginal sex, maybe a little more or a little less. I don't know I am not everyone else and do not keep tabs on their sexual activity.
