Say, "wow, so what are you, like, the last person in the world still reading Marshall McLuhan?"

If she gets offended, you will know she isn't worth it.
If she laughs and says she's just curious and doesn't care about McLuhan, you will have a great "in" with a rather exciting woman.

I tell her about the time Woody Allen and I argued about McLuhan and how I totally won, and that the fight you see in Annie Hall between Woody's character and the Columbia Professor is based off our exchange, but Allen being the vindictive cunt he is wrote it so McLuhan vindicated him in the movie.

>Female reading.

Why are there so many fantasy threads on /lit/ these days?

>> No.1494124

"Hey baby. my message is my medium, and my medium is HOT."

She will then either A) look confused (thus demonstrating her lack of understanding of McLuhan's work, and invalidating my interest), or B) roll her eyes and consider or act upon her desire to knee me in the groin (thus establishing that she understands, but considers me a horrific hambeast, thus displaying that she is neither blind nor stupid, and is thus out of my league).

Either way, I return to my seat unfulfilled.

I have recently been courting a cute girl. Her favorite author is Ayn Rand. What do?

>> No.1494137

>>1494131
Well, if she actually wants to be like Rand, DO NOT follow her philosophy and dump her for a younger, sexier woman. She will imitate her idol and RUIN YOUR LIFE.

Instead, you should make like her first husband and just wait to be traded in for a younger, sexier model.

She is a young, cute girl already. (barely 18, i'm 20 in three months)

But, she's not imitating as of yet, though.. what would a girl imitating Rand act like? I've only read Anthem, and i liked it, SO WHAT HUH? Short and sweet..

Raep.

Btw, not a troll: Ayn Rand featured raep scenes in all her novels as an expression of virtuous power over the weak, and how the weak (aka women) are wooed by this power. Ayn Rand was a-ok with raep, as are her disciples.

I don't think someone who read Rand would imitate her personality defects. She'll just be a dirty capitalist pig (which is only a problem if you're a buttmad marxist fuckstick).

This can absolutely be a good thing, provided you have no real character. Since you are on 4chan, I'll assume that's so.

Like most ideologues, Objectivists assume that the more that you conform to their philosophy, the better and smarter a person you are.

Impressing a die-hard socialist would be a lot of shitty work. You might have to volunteer, to go to rallies, buy a bum a coffee, etc, etc. A big pain in the ass. But you can impress an Objectivist chick just by being obnoxious.

You also don't need to actually know much about Objectivism. If you're ever in a position when you're trying to respond as Ayn Rand would, just imagine what your grandmother would have encouraged you to do, and do the exact opposite.

Unless your grandma was a hateful cunt, I guess.
