So whats the deal with these books anyway? What do they actually do for you except making you feel smarter than everybody else?
Because it seems to me you little faggots should be learning how to fix a car, change a tire, chop wood, set electric wires, build a house, program and algorithm, do your taxes, invest your money, keep your books, make a barter, organize your neighborhood, court a woman, raise your children etc. and not waste your youth reading these gay ass books that dont mean anything.

What is this, 1876? You don't "court" a woman now you out of touch incel. Either you're a Chad a women order your cock on Tinder like it's takeaway pizza or else you need to jump through all the hoops like career grinding and social climbing and then a past-her-prime woman approaches you to provide security for the rest of her life. In both cases, women have the initiative.

True, back in high school i weight 116 KG and a hot chick really liked me.
She'd hug me and wrap her arm around mine, because i was morbidly obese i thought she was just trying to make fun of me if i started believing her so i'd be passive aggressive all the time when she'd ask me to hang out with her.
After high school i found out from a female friend who was in the same class as that girl that she'd still ask others about me. If some obese passive aggressive motherfucker can seduce a really hot chick without even trying then so can you.

I dunno what american sitcom you are from but marrying your highschool sweetheart is neither common nor all that good to begin with. You think you will like a girl from when you were 15 when you are like 40?

I challenge you again WHY, would any woman stay with a man who doesn't meet those 100% standards when theres hundreds of thousands of Men at the click of an app, the *bloop* of messenger? Modern women expect all of these things and some, more. Look at all these all these guys that have given up and are becoming girls, look at any /pol/ user I'd imagine, suicide rates, divorce rates.

My fat was more spread out though i have pregnancy stripes on my belly.
I lost around 30 KG (90 now because i stopped after 87, will continue to lose weight again soon)
You should stop listening to this propaganda about only alphas getting laid.
While i have been called good-looking (doubt it, nearly got a monobrow) women aren't scopophiliac like men are but because the incels don't know shit about women they think that they only want an alpha when that is certainly not the case (be as handsome as you want, being morbidly obese suggests illness and makes you automatically unattractive).

D'annunzio, like Kants, like de Sade, had status and money in the 1800's. While I appreciate your advice it sounds highly anecdotal. You need to get out there and be the covert no longer Alpha you were always meant to be. As for me its too late to transition to my own permanent gf, it's probably reading and waging until I kms.

So you must have really good social skills. Most incels dont want to accept this but obviously social skills are just as important as looks in getting a woman. The problem is that unless youre below 5th percentile ugly, looks are easier to fix than behavior since often people with social issues are just born retarded (spergs) or they fell in a negative feedback loop leading to social anxiety, often its both.
