Is Houellebecq worth reading?

[Anonymous No.18122065]

Yes. He’s great

[Anonymous No.18122066]

Read one book and you've read them all.

If they are ready for all forms of depravity and "little sluts", they are not innocent, just in the starting stage of the process of degradation they willfully enter.
I know I'm an autist and it's obvious Houellebecq just means he wants to be the first guy the girls fuck.

He's just restating the Madonna-Whore Complex but through his youth-obsessed blackpilled lens.
Truth is there's a conflict in men because they want women that are both wife material but insatiable nymphos too, the conflict arises because you can't have both in a woman.

Innocent as in not guilty as in not having done anything yet, naive.

Women also view men this way, except it can be called the "Dicker-Tool Complex". She wants the huge masculine D most of the time, but she also wants a tool that makes a lot of money and can support her even when she doesn't give out pussy.

This thread is posted all the time. Read “The Extension of the Domain of the Struggle” (or “Whatever”) and if you enjoy it, read something else he wrote. It is short, about 140 pages.

It is common for men to suffer from oneitis. Nothing prevents being a nympho for a specific person only. It's hard to accept that female sexuality is comparatively unindividualized.

Yeah, women and men want to have their cake and eat it too. Women want the excitement of the bad boy but also to "change him" so he becomes a good husband while men want a woman who is a virgin but becomes an insatiable nympho (within the confines of the marriage).
Of course this never works out. The bad boy doesn't reform and good luck finding a virgin that becomes a slut and remains faithful.

What's hard to accept about them is that women don't understand the concept of a private life so everything you tell them or everything you do with or to them, will be told to every single person she meets the rest of her life because this kind of gossip socialization is the only way women can relate to other human beings.

Where do you guys suggest finding women? I've checked out Tinder this month and compared the women all over the world because of the World Travel special in April, and literally every girl on there is the same superficial girl; only girls from SA have sluttier pics than other places. I can only cope with this by telling myself this sample is skewed because most of the girls there are looking for a shag. They are not women or mothers.

Stop the cope, Tinder is representative and has been for years.

After age 25, you don't in the current year. That's a feature, not a bug.

I wish I knew anon, I have no idea how to meet women, I'm a complete retard in that department and I'm now 30 so it's too late to learn how.

App-wise if you want something long term just go on something like Hinge or Bumble. It's where I met my now fiancée. We were practically engaged before we even met irl.
But really, you're supposed to meet women through friends.

Haha of course lemme just get in touch with one of my many friends haha

I've tried out bumble once, just to see what it looks like, and it does sound more promising because of the possibility to filter. An App is not really where I'd like to meet a woman though, the Tinder post was more about how women actually are and I was wondering if that is what they are.
My friend group doesn't contain much women, and the ones who're there are partners of friends already. The groups don't really mix, but perhaps that might change when the pandemic is over and social gatherings become a thing again.
I think there will come a time where I just approach women in the streets that look interesting and ask them to go on a walk or something.

Im just stating what's ideal. I've been friendless for the past decade. That's probably why all of Houllebecq's schizoid coomer protagonists seem so relatable.
