A girl came over to my apartment. She saw all my medieval French books and said, "Ummmm what is this incel shit?" When I tried to explain she cut me off and said, "Wait, no, don't explain. I don't fucking care. I'm leaving. Don't contact me anymore."

Is it really that bad to be into medieval French literature? This also isn't all I own. There's as many more books at my parent's house. What can I do anons? I want children...

She's right. Incels are obssessed with the past. Beta males/söy boys are obssessed with the future (see AI). Chads live in the present and make the most of it. If you can shed your obssession with the past, you can shed your inceldom. Then it's just a matter of living in the moment, CARPE DIEM. Trust me, bro.

It's in Moyen Francais. It's France's attempt at The Decameron after the royal court became fascinated with Boccacio's work. I think it appeared within a hundred years of the first French translation of The Decameron. It's very funny. I like the second story about the girl with hemmorhoids.

Let me throw in some ontology.
All male I call boys age doesn't matter. Every male will always be a boy. Old or young boy, its still a boy.

All female I call ladies no matter the age. A female will always be a lady. Old lady, young lady, its still a lady.

Now I draw the line when boys purposefully imbalance the hormones, same holds for the ladies. The cheeky boy that dresses its hormones as ladylike is everything but a lady. Most of all its a cheeky boy. Same goes for cheeky ladies that dress their hormones as boylike: everything but boy. If anything its a cheeky lady. Trying to fool the aesthetic? Oh, cheeky you. You almost had me there!

Boys will be boys. Ladies will be ladies. But ladies will not be boys and boys not ladies.

Ladies are never girls, boys are never gentleman.

I took French all throughout middle school, high school, and college. Probably some of the first books I read in high school were fairy tales and short stories. So things like Charles Perrault, Madame d'Aulnoy, and Jean de La Fontaine.
The first book that I seriously read was Camus L'étranger and then maybe Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoires d'Hadrien, or it might've been Jean-Patrick Manchette's novels (I wouldn't suggest starting with those lol, but it did help with being able to discern meaning through context because you have to pick up on a lot of slang with Manchette).
I honestly don't know if I could tell you what is "advanced" because I haven't read a work in a while where I felt like I was struggling. However, when I read Rabelais, I found that extremely difficult, but that was my first attempt at Moyen Francais/very early modern French. So I wonder if I would have a much easier time now if I reread Rabelais. But Rabelais is also hard because of the comedy. So any work that relies a lot on comedy and puns I think would be advanced, like Raymond Queneau. I think he would definitely be advanced. Queneau often writes in slang and phonetic French, so it can be hard to read him if you don't have a good idea of the language and how it sounds when spoken.

you rejoyce. To be happy you must live in agreement with your nature. The whole and sole perk of being a male is that nobody will care about you. Whereas the sole perk of being a vagina is that all the men will be desperate to talk to you and give you free stuff spontaneously.The male nature is to be forever alone. On the female side, it is not all rosy, women hate to have a flock of ugly orbiters, and they hate it even more when there is physical contact with those. In other words women hate that too much men care about them. So everybody is unhappy, especially the men. Thanks to a twist, women are actually happy because, doing it for free, the chad orbiters will beat up the ugly orbiters for the sake of the women.
So to be happy as a male you must rejoyce in being a loser. This is the only truth in the universe.

Woman carries connotations of "a 60 year old woman", i.e. for me the difference is pre- and post-wall. Hearing "woman" is a turn off.

That's what they charge me, and I'm happy to pay it. Obviously I was postingnhhh hyperbolically, but it's closer to €270 per book what I'm paying, and I typically dispose of them after a few weeks. I end up paying €6,000-10,000 a year for this habit and have about as much to show for it as your spread every now and then.

Thank you. So you've been at this for a long time then. It's quite sad (if true) that a girl actually linked knowing and reading in another language to "incel shit". It's a classic case of "pearls before swine".

The method I've chosen to learn French is the natural or direct method as exemplified in the Lingua Latina per se illustrata. I really want to learn to speak it fluently, as—from my limited experience with hearing it—its sounds pollinate the air with beauty; however, I find the pronunciation of words to be enigmatic to say the least, for example, chien not pronouncing the "n" but rather giving off a nasally yuh-ish sound.

Comedy would probably go over my head, esp. if it were early modern French as most of Shakespeare's humor went over it when I read his plays. Personally, I have a predisposition of dissociating comedy from (older) literature; thus, I can sometimes be mentally blind to it.
>Probably some of the first books I read in high school were fairy tales and short stories. So things like Charles Perrault, Madame d'Aulnoy, and Jean de La Fontaine.
French fairy tales excite my imagination.
>Camus L'étranger
I didn't care for that in English. It had too much of dream-like or delirious quality to it.

That's all it takes to dry up most women.
If it appears that you have anything that might take your focus away from them in the slightest, they run away like their hair is on fire. They can't say that though, because that would make them appear terrible (they are), so they make up SOME excuse for it to be your fault, hence the incel remark.
Note, this doesn't apply to all women, just most women. Damn near all women with any kind of social media presence.

If those books had high quality binding and pretty cover art, she would not have reacted like that. Books are always judged by their covers.

so many guys out here thinking they can rationally argue a woman into liking them. YOU'RE the prize. She should be simping for you. The second you try to 'explain' or 'convince' her, the dynamic is upset, the roles are reversed. Like stepping on your partner's foot during a dance.

my mom is a woman. I don't want to fuck my mom, therefore, using the word "woman" to describe someone I'm attracted to seems weird to me.

It's not easy to say. I guess when the happiness of a new purchase wears off I start to see only problems with the books. Sometimes I will actually read from the book, either a few pages from the start, or opening it at random, and just lose every interest of reading it again. I purchase a whole lot of books that I'm not qualified to read, such as being printed in languages I can't read, or in philosophies I'm not familiar with. I will also frequently repurchase books I've already rejected because of nostalgia for the time that book had once brought me happiness. I commented because the Pleiade books reminded me of my own spreads. I always go for their Rabelais.

No wait, I commented only because I know where to acquire a lot of French books. The thread caught my eye because of the Pleiades and I couldn't resist adding these books to my cart. Hahah.
