I don't think we're really the kind of "book nerds" she's thinking about. I don't thing anyone in /lit/ sees himself as a nerd in the geeky sense that she's talking about. We may be autistic, sure, but say what you want about /lit/, but we aren't the soi type.

This is an anonymous imageboard where everything goes to archives after a few days at most. Whatever failures of dissociation between literature itself and a status signaling mechanism are by definition impossible to find in a lesser degree anywhere else online.

Ironic because women rarely write good books because they think everything is just about emotions. Emotional books are rarely any good.

>> No.22667922

Whenever a woman talks about "men," she's talking about a specific subset of the top 10% of all men who are unusually handsome, usually attending elite universities and with a wealthy background that makes them socially adroit and fashionable. When a woman says "Male book nerds, I..." you should remember she's talking to the handsome rich 6'2" guy who fucked her for two months, five years ago when she was still cute. She doesn't even know you exist. If you were to stand next to that "book nerd" Chad, and three other archetypal Chads she fucked (a jock Chad, a financebro Chad, etc.), and she looked at all four of you, it would be like when you meet your best friends at a fast food restaurant and a little dumpy Mexican woman sweeps up some trash on the floor 3 feet away. If someone asked you about that encounter 10 minutes or 10 years later, you would say the same thing: "I met my friends in McDonalds." Consuela was simply part of the scenery, or part of some sub-race of goblins that exists only to sweep. That's how these gabby opinionated women see you. They are not talking TO YOU. They are talking PAST and OVER and AROUND you, at the 10% of men whom they even consider baseline human, and then selecting the top 20% of THOSE men as "their type" and "actually worth caring about."

The thing that saves Consuela is that she doesn't give a fuck about you or your gay friends either. She is equally zoned out. All she sees is the hours left until she can go home and be with her brood of spiclings. YOU on the other hand are a Consuela who thinks he's hanging out with the gang, whenever a woman says "Ugh, book nerd men, here's a message for you:" and you actually listen. You are a PATHETIC CONSUELA.

If we lived in a world where western men had the experience necessary to feel emotions like Tolkien, women like this wouldn't be able to even speak like that in public.

Men don't know how to right like that for the same reasons they don't know how to shoot from horseback, whip a slave, amputate a limb under field conditions, or any number of other things. Those times are in the past. They might also be in the future, though.
