Will reading books help me attract girls?

>> No.21478901

Yes in the point that you can use what you've read to have interesting conversations. But you still have to go out there and do the hard work

>> No.21478902

No it'll do the opposite but you'll be content

>> No.21478944

Not if you only read in order to get girls. Yes if you actually care about reading.

>> No.21478962

No
Being attractive will help you get girls
If you were born ugly then its over

>> No.21478964

>>21478891
No but you'll be able to attract shy closeted gay men.

>Looking back, it’s embarrassing to recognize the degree to which my intellectual curiosity those first two years of college paralleled the interests of various women I was attempting to get to know: Marx and Marcuse so I had something to say to the long-legged socialist who lived in my dorm; Fanon and Gwendolyn Brooks for the smooth-skinned sociology major who never gave me a second look; Foucault and Woolf for the ethereal bisexual who wore mostly black. As a strategy for picking up girls, my pseudo-intellectualism proved mostly worthless; I found myself in a series of affectionate but chaste friendships.

Literally my first lay was a girl who said "this book is really cool" when I was leafing through Sartre's Words in a bookstore. Being a facechad back in the day helped, I guess. Now I'm balding and chubby but at least i got my fill

Well, then reading books that teach you how to make a lot of money might help. Or learning how to write Young Adult bestsellers, I bet those guys drown in young adult pussy

i once made a very midwit comparison to something a girl said on a date to plato's allegory of the cave and she was in genuine shock at how allegedly intelligent i was. i'm pretty sure she was just trying to sleep with me though.

Read female targeted erotica and act like the men in them.
Read other armchair psych-shit to figure out what women think they need to do. For example “the games people play”.
Women will read shit like this because they think they’re so smart and that they can read people, so just play along

why is it that I only find closeted gay men attractive? once they are out there is no interest.

Because once they’re out being gay becomes 100% of their personality and that is boring

the games people play is such a wild fucking book my teacher recommended me to read because it related to games. The moment I read something along the line of that a certain activity was just an abstract play version of impregnation.
