Meet someone who doesn't read or like literature. You'll be happy as long as you love them. My wife only read her college syllabus requirements, and we're happy. Don't project your interests on others.

i don't think this story actually happened. you just made up an imaginary person so you could brag about being superior to your internet friends.

idk anon, your theory seems plausible, but I don't think anyone would ever lie on the internet. It's not something people do.

Having an intellectual advantage over my wife has only been a positive when it comes to keeping both of us happy and satisfied.

Have none of you met a girl who actually reads? Sure, there are lots of YA loving airheads around but I've also met several girls who read serious literature, Dazai was actually recommended to me by a girl.

Why do you want a girl who is literary or educated? You want to have engaging conversations about Proust with your gf? Sounds really gay. Just get a girl who is pretty and not a total bitch

This. Newfags on lit have worse tastes than young girls who read ya

Dazai is very popular among women.

Why would you want a gf that you can't even talk to? You spend huge amounts of time with a partner

Harry Potter is awful, but Moomin reading gf is the goal boys. Too bad most of them are gay.

Okay, well little potter you have in your hands the clay to form and build her up. Raise her from her germinal stage and blossom her into your garden of delights. Fertilise her small seeds and raise her up. Woman isn't something you buy ready made off a store shelf, take the seedling from the nursery and plant her in your soil, water and nourish her, fertilise her growth, prune and clip her excesses and excursions, and cultivate your Galatea.

Would you really want a girl who's really into Dostoevsky?

[Anonymous No.19138931]

This one time this cute redhead at work years ago sincerely asked my opinion about the Metamorphosis. Since I was technically her supervisor at that point I kept it professional and just said that it was a body horror theme, and if she liked that she should watch The Fly for similar stuff. This was my way of avoiding the real opinion, that Metamorphosis is about jewish self-hatred, which is treated similarly in The Fly. She was receptive to the suggestion.

Months later after she left the job she literally texted me for my opinion about Dostoevsky. I replied that I'd read C&P, BK and Notes years ago and I liked them. She replied that she was reading The Idiot and "didn't know any other person who might have read Dostoevsky".

Goddamnit I'm so fucking dense.

What made you go with Dostoyevsky instead of Tolstoy or Turgenev or Chekhov or Gogol or Pushkin? Would love to hear your thoughts on this anon

How long ago was it? Nothing stops you from taking the initiative and sending her a message now. Worst case scenario = she says no

Women are cowards so all they'll do is put themselves around you rather than tell you what they're feeling.

Where are you getting any of that from retard? Having a higher sense of culture is psuedo intellect now? He's a manipulator because he doesn't care for their infantile tastes well into adulthood? You're pathetic.

[Anonymous No.19139023]

if you ever meet a girl with interesting tastes and opinions, just keep in mind those are her last boyfriend's tastes and opinions.
