Any books about not being able to get a gf at all even though you want one?

Recommendations for literature that is related to incels. This is a literature board is it not? So this is a legitimate place to ask for such a thing.

>submitted it to a small online magazine
>they published it along with my name
>it's the only thing associated with me online
>literally a first person narration from a depressed, angry incel who obsesses over a girl he doesn't know

I can't believe how cringeworthy I am. All I can do is laugh, but ultimately I think I will have to commit suicide at some point.

this is the 3rd post you made, and no inceldom is an abomination[not so much the state of celibacy but the mindset of internet incels]

Write it then. Clearly it's a story calling out to you to be told, a truth in search of a voice.

It's always your fault, remember that. Work on your body and personallity.

no because no great literature can be inspired from wanting a gf but not getting one. that is just basic shit. being able to get a gf but not being able to love, the conscious failure to take the opportunity of love opens a rupture in the soul exposing the deepest insecurities of a man

the most absolutely based thing in existence is having a wife that doesnt even know she's married to you (see: terry davis, don quixote, confederacy of dunces, etc)

you can have any gf you want if your imagination is good enough

Not true retard. The guy in Mars is an incel and spends most of the book sitting outside cafes hoping a girl will speak to him.

It fits the bill. It's a crystal clear recollection of the authors young life in Pleasant Hill in the early 70s. In the aftermath of the summer of love, the beautiful people are everywhere, accepting and caring and enlightened but somehow he is alone. His cynicism grows. He goes to Berkely studying history, he makes a couple of platonic close female friends who slowly grow more attracted to each other. He works terrible dead-end jobs, such as night guard at a warehouse. He binge eats baked dinners at cheap restaurants because he is so lonely. There are hints he's on the spectrum, slightly, but it doesn't seem enough to explain why there's this invisible barrier between him and all the other students. There is some conciliation at the end, he essentially takes the black pill decades before the term was coined and owns his isolation. Highly recommended.

Post the quotation proving that. In the early part he says he was sheltered and that his parents never brought up the subject of sex because it was dirty, but he never denies his own romantic yearning iirc. He walks around campus wishing he had a girlfriend to spend the weekends with etc, and then ends the book by imagining he had caved his mother's skull in for coddling him so much.
