Would you approach a girl reading a book that you liked?

[Anonymous No.23440808]

>>23440804
I would approach her, wrest the book out of her hands, look with contempt at the cover and ridicule her saying she likely missed important plot points and the overall meaning went over her head as she's a dumb woman whose place is on her knees sucking my cock. Then I would hit her in the face with said book and scurry away

[Anonymous No.23440826]

>>23440804
I would give her a flower and a note with my phone number on it.

[Anonymous No.23440830]

>>23440804
I'd say something like "You won't get it" to test her and see if she's a fun person or a self-absorbed psycho who takes offense at every little thing.
If the former then it's very easy to go on from there, if the latter I abscond immediately.

i hope this is a joke

[Anonymous No.23440853]

>>23440843
It's not. Why would it be? If any woman will appreciate a quiet gesture, it's a literary one. As that's the sort of woman I want, that's the sort of gesture I'll give. Contrived personas are for normies. Graceful sincerity is for the patrician.

And I'll make it plain I do just fine with women, since you're implying I don't know what I'm doing.

[Anonymous No.23440855]

I would ask how they felt about James Joyce and his weird fart fetish.

This. Probably one of the least cringe cold approaches one can do.

Have you considered starting a conversation as a normal human being?

[Anonymous No.23440894]

>>23440830
No one wants to interact with someone whose first thought is 'I gotta test whether she's a self-absorbed psycho' instead of 'Cool book'. Why would it be unreasonable to find you offputting when your idea of a fun way to open is to smugly neg her? What's even the joke in 'You wouldn't get it'?

Women are vile. They have poison juices inside of them. Stay pure my fellow anons. Don’t let women corrupt you with their vile juices.

[Anonymous No.23440914]

>>23440903
Ok thanks for showing me the light, dude. Teasingly saying 'You wouldn't get it' - I'll have to remember that zinger for next time I see a woman enjoying a book. And if she doesn't welcome my advances, I'll be secure in the knowledge that it's only because she's a psycho narcissist.

[Anonymous No.23440916]

It's important how you say it, but of course in your mind everything is spoken in the same monotone autistic "professional" way, and you are completely oblivious to playfulness

It's a given that you shouldn't try to flirt if you don't have the IQ for it

[Anonymous No.23440933]

Sure. I'd do a slight neg like "Ulysses? Still on the 100 books everyone should read list?" with a cute smirk and then work from there.

[Anonymous No.23440937]

>>23440804
Nah, but only because the books I like are so rarely read by women that I couldn't help but immediately think she doesn't get it anyway and there's nothing worse for bonding than that.
I'd be less suspicious if she did read normieslop like your picrel.

[Anonymous No.23441019]

>>23440804
I would tell her I didn't get it, then laugh and run my fingers through my hair, and ask if she understood it, nay, if she "got" it. And if she did, could she explain it to me?

Nothing is more sure than the stoking of ones ego.

Yes, because I would assume that any girl who reads one of the only few books I still like was clearly a manifestation of my mind, therefore mine.

No. I'm not a normal human being. Besides, if you actually read books, you'd know being interrupted is annoying.

What "circus tricks are you even suggesting he would perform? I don't see that he suggested any. You're just toxic. Besides, who said it's about pussy? Interest in a woman can be about more than that, and if we're such rancid pigs, what are you doing here among us, hypocrite?

keep the note but drop the flower
say she looks cute and would like to catch up another time to talk about the book

>beat me off with a stick for example
phrasing

heres a little idea maybe to motivate you guys: think about the last time a stranger approached you in public. How did you feel about it? Probably anyone you choose to approach will feel the same way.
If you see someone reading a book you like or buying a book you like in a bookshop, you might as well say hello... the outcome could only be positive or neutral.

We'd be colleagues, and she'd be not a girl, but a woman. As for the approaching romantically: there's a boundary there that I do not cross anymore, but we'd work well together.

Then if she's not one of those completely self-absorbed people that don't ask questions back, she'll just kick off a convo.

[Anonymous No.23444820]

>>23444814
You don't have to be cynical to prefer to be left alone. Some people prefer not to be bothered. When in doubt, look at the body language. Staring deeply into an open book is not an invitation for social interaction. It's literally the most socially-forboding sign there is. The book might as well say FUCK OFF, I'M READING on the cover.

[Anonymous No.23444825]

>>23444746
I think this is pretty doable. I mean, if the girl actually shows interest in you (that is, you're not ugly/don't give off a shitty "vibe"), she'll just do some small talk where you'll have to be able to carry it. At the end of it, she'll either give you her number, do small talk again next time, not talk to you next time or just call you a creep.

>"How's the book, whore?"

[Anonymous No.23444853]

>>23444820
It really just seems like you're projecting, brochacho. Most people, especially women, love to talk about themselves and what they're doing. I run a decently sized book/film club at university and about half of the people that are in it were invited by me after I just approached them while they were reading and just hit off talking about literature. I wouldn't say I'm handsome or a complete extrovert, but interacting with other people gets easier when you realize that not everyone is as gloomy as you think. Also have to say that you only get good at conversations by actually talking to people.
YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY
