Actually in my experience most "normalfags" (hate to use that word) of the millenial generation tend to at least appreciate artistic passions--literature very much included.

This is the 21st century mate. Haven't you heard? Intellectualism is sexy again.

Pseudo intelectual is an insult to people who wasted their lives and pretend to be smart to save face, while calling someone a virgin is a childish way to imply that you are older than them in societal terms. You shouldn't mix those two insults.

This post speaks volumes and I'm not even sure if the full meaning of it was the intention of it's author.

That is, the feigning of intelligence with the presupposed acknowledgment amongst all parties of the farce, is deemed sexy. While the pure unadulterated quest for knowledge is still ridiculed. If not out in the open than under the table and in between the words.

yeah, it may be 'sexy' to smart and educated women, but they are rare. the rest of the women havent touched a book since middle school, dont share any interests with you and thus dont find spending time with you enjoyable. they cant really talk to you on the same intellectual level and you are basically making them feel stupid. its funny, most women will claim that one of the things they are looking for in men is intelligence, but in fact they just want a man that is about as 'intelligent' as they are.

first off, "kelly", jennifer is a beautiful woman and would never describe me as a literature buff so please keep your blatant lies in that coconut fiber and peeled potato head of yours. secondly, i have at least three favorite books that all endear to me for different and unique reasons that wouldn't be worth the effort in trying to explain to a cotton wearing woman such as yourself. to be completely honest, your stock model look doesn't impress me and i've met girls that would be much better stock models than you, the kind that could make goofy facial expressions while sitting in front of a laptop with it's name brand stripped off of it's back. the kind of women that have perfect facial symmetry, the kind of facial symmetry that defies the ugliness a tasteless watermark can force upon any mug. the kind of facial symmetry that makes you feel like you, and everybody you've ever known are some kind of pilgrims in the land of the true human race. the human race with eyes mirrored and eyebrows non-threatening, the human race that wears generic clothing against off-white backgrounds, hugged softly by studio lighting. really, you're just not my kind of girl, kelly.
