Don't lie, you read to get laid, right?

[Anonymous No.17515575]

>>17515572
why would anyone do that?

[Anonymous No.17515583]

I read for the lord

Reading > Big brain > women

Yes, anon. That is the point, the illiterate don't manage that.

get laid, laid with what?

[Anonymous No.17515597]

Anything I do in life is to get laid. What else is there?

[Brainlet No.17515598]

I actually got laid far more often before I started reading. If anything, there's been a significant decrease in my sexual activity since I started reading a lot.

[Anonymous No.17515600]

>>17515587
My point is that if you want to get laid just go get laid lol, how does books help in that process

[Anonymous No.17515617]

Hiding the fact that you read and just being funny and charming without any depth is the best way to get laid in most cases.

[Anonymous No.17515621]

I started reading after I got a gf

[Anonymous No.17515622]

whomst'd've thought such vulgarity was even conceivable?

[Anonymous No.17515623]

If anything I get laid less since I'd rather read 95% of the time

[Anonymous No.17515625]

>>17515598
exactly how that happened?

[Brainlet No.17515628]

>>17515625
I don't understand the question

[Anonymous No.17515635]

>>17515598
Kinda this, but mainly because I don't bother going after people. I definitely don't waste opportunities to talk to them, but it is not like I crave talking irl with other people. I'm reasonably fine with books.

[Anonymous No.17515636]

>>17515628
how did reading decrease your sexual activity?

[Anonymous No.17515637]

With whom? I ain't character in an isekai, reading a book will just get me opportunity to say I read a book.

It works better if these are /lit/art hos, and you’re better read, and you’re the demonstrably their superior in writing composition. Not recommended generally.

[Brainlet No.17515654]

>>17515636
If I could guess, probably because I became more solitary and look less approachable any time I'm out in the world reading

[Anonymous No.17515656]

I read because I'm bored a lot, I live in a boring world, and I have literally nothing else to do with my time that interests me. Books give me stimulation and interest in an otherwise grey, concrete-ified shithole of a world that is designed for economic efficiency.

Jesus Christ this is so sad.
Reading won't get you laid.
Being able to use a book as a conversation starter might get you laid in the end, has happened to me before, but like, once every other year while reading in cafes one night a week. If you are playing on those odds alone you've already lost.

any tip on how to do that?

[Anonymous No.17515690]

You have to already know she's some sort of lit/arthoe due to the fact she studies something of that sort or you know her interests somehow, otherwise it's just a wasted shot approaching random girls and asking them if they've read Ludwig Klages. The best way is to just know an author you both like and you can kinda go from there

Women are into Guenon right?

[Anonymous No.17515699]

>>17515677
okay but I'm specifically asking how to start? Like simply going upto them and starting a convo about books will be awkward no matter how arthoe she is

[Anonymous No.17515701]

>>17515677
Just talk about it. "There is this book I read, and it goes like this and that, I thought that was something and felt like that character was a bit this." Basically entertain, anon. Some women tried that with me and I can't say it doesn't work.

But you are probably better just doing things if you want to just find someone and whatever. You don't need to read. I used to go out (kiss and whatever) with more people back when I didn't used to read as much. It gets in the way more than it helps desu.

[Anonymous No.17515702]

I read to get better at writing and add quality

[Anonymous No.17515708]

>>17515701
And I probably did that unconsciously with other people too. That just be yourself thing isn't that bad.

[Anonymous No.17515714]

Cold approaching never works, lithoe or not. It can only work in a certain context, book club, university, place where people actually talk about books or related to books (bookshop). Nobody approaches anybody just starting to talk about a particular interest. It could maybe work if you see her actually reading in public, but that doesn't depend on your speech skill or the amount of books you've read, but how handsome and charming you actually are when you do it.

[Anonymous No.17515719]

>>17515702
And you get better at writing to get laid, some thing.

[Anonymous No.17515723]

>>17515696
Some probably are, anon. That is the problem with anons (and people in general). There isn't such a thing as "women" when it comes to most stuff.

[Anonymous No.17515725]

Also, let's not pretend women have serious intellectual interests beyond it being a part of their image and worldview, for example, as how different they are to other girls and coping that they're not Stacy

[Anonymous No.17515731]

>>17515723
I was joking. I have plenty of better books for breaking the ice, but I'd use none of them ideally. Have to keep some trump cards up the sleeve if she starts to get bored of me

No, I read to justify why I don't.

Hang out in cafes around universities.
Dress well, get a haircut more often.
Don't (DO NOT) be a fucking lecher. Your aim is to read comfy books in a comfy setting. If you attract a girl's eyes and realize it, smile unassumingly at her if she's outside of conversation range, DO NOT force an interaction awkwardly. If she is within conversation range, you can smile, say hi and introduce yourself, if she wants to pursue she'll make a comment to prolong the conversation.
Point is, you can't make it happen, because it happening organically is a huge part of the aesthetics of such events. You just have to be in situations where that can happen and know how to act on the opportunities granted.

No I read to cope with the anxiety I feel because I am halfway my 20s and have been in zero serious relationships, despite meeting literally thousands of single women.

[Anonymous No.17516491]

I read because I want to. Simple as that
