Is it rude to interrupt them and pick them up? Can books bring people together?

[Anonymous No.6948706]

If they are like me they are reading in the park or cafe because they are lonely, so I'd say they wouldn't mind. On the bus is different though maybe not there.

Ya sure approach them, Its only rude to a girl if she fines you ugly or some shit like that.


Always remember with confidence you can ask a girl out anytime and get away with it.
Its not a meme but from personal experience girls really do value that social status shit. Always want to be seen in public with somebody who they think are better or slightly equal than themselves

Just go to the mall and look at all the couples. you'll see what i mean

this is true, since in our culture women never approach they assume a passive role.

So they are constantly "waiting" for the "right guy" to find them.

Is this a troll thread? Are you guys really unaware that reading is a fashion accessory for girls and fags? Just go on and talk to her.

You're assuming all men read one way and all women another way, which is much dumber. My method treats people the way I want to be treated, and leaves them alone. There's no downside to it. If a woman wants my attention, she can damn well look up and smile at me or wink or something. I assume most people read on the bus and subway because it's boring and they don't want to deal with the flood of human scum surrounding them. Treat people like adults, for Christ's sake. They're not reading as some kind of ass-backwards flirtation with you.

Yeah there's the "approach anxiety" or whatever, and there's always going to be your stupid caveman brain telling you to just keep to yourself.

It's up to you to work through the facts of your situation, and recognize that if you live anywhere even vaguely urban, there is minimal risk of being ostracized; your community is simply too big.

Obviously this changes if you're talking about girls who are familiar with your social circle, girls in your classes/at work, etc. But as far as strangers go, there's pretty much nothing to lose. Even if you completely repulse some girl, she'll likely forget your face within a week.

Well, I guess the question is, do you often get approached in public by guys?

I have a friend who is very /lit/, and I've heard her complain about guys approaching her when she's reading or working in public. But tbh she's very attractive, and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets approached repeatedly, to the point of being annoying.

So, from a guy's perspective, it's a bit of a Catch-22... the more attractive a girl is, the less likely she's amenable to being approached cold, in public.

Then you don't really get it. The point is girls are often playing the waiting game, which is frustrating because it's passive. While guys can actually take initiative and improve their odds directly.

>Everytime a guy chooses to ask a girl, the guys average raises and the girls does. Therefore it can never be higher or lower.

I'm not the guy you've been arguing with, but this is a stupid point. Yes, in this interaction the guy gets +1 towards his count of girls he's asked out, and the girl get +1 towards her count of guys who have asked her out.

The key difference is in the involvement of agency: The guy has a 100% rate of talking to girls he's interested. That's his agency. The girl's agency is in picking through potential suitors: Yes, she has choices, but in her comfort of waiting to be approached, there's no telling what proportion of guys she deals with will be to her liking. It could be 50%; it could be 10.

So if a guy approaches 30 girls each week, and each of those girls gets approached by 30 guys, the first guy has 30 real prospects in front of him, while the girls may have 0, even with the same number of interactions on either side.

Have you ever thought about it? It may do you some good just to sit and imagine you are a guy for an hour or so. Run through a few life scenarios.

Anyway, guys must engage. Guys must get turned down a lot, unless you are the top 10-20% of attractiveness. If you are on a dating site you likely are not top percentages. Those guys have learned that girls will wait for the "clever or interesting guy" and not give a shit at all if their whim says so. It is a numbers game really. More girls=more chances at success. IRL this is more successful because many girls are vain and desire physical attractiveness and that is easier seen in life. Mannerisms and so on, forearms :^)

so, upon further consideration, i guess i do see that the encouragement exists. still have no clue why it's perpetuated, though, or by whom.

I agree it is a sizable portion but it also may be the sort of 'loud minority' that is very noticeable/visible and therefore seems more common than it is.

For example, I don't think in that way at all, which is actually detrimental to my chances of meeting a girl that is similar to me. Most girls think, "why should I talk to him if he doesn't seem interested" but sometimes guys are fucking blind.

emotional attraction vs. sexual attraction, maybe? for me, at least, sexual is a secondary thing that develops after an emotional bond is formed, and sex is not necessary for being in a relationship. not everyone is like that, but it's pretty common among the people i know. maybe you just don't work that way, though. *shrug*

Use social cues, anon.

Is the girl absorbed in her reading? Does she ignore/is she simply oblivious to any attempts by you to make eye contact? Then she probably doesn't want you to interrupt, so you shouldn't, unless you are a charming motherfucker and you're confident that you can overcome her initial irritation. (This probably doesn't apply to you since you're making threads like these on /lit/).

If numbers are what you want, then yes, it's a numbers game. If you literally have no higher aspiration for your love life than sticking your dick inside a warm, moist hole, then by all means you can aim to achieve that through the statistical method of approaching as many women as possible.

But if you actually want companionship and affection and mutual respect with a sexual partner (lol beta as fuck) then this is not the way to achieve it. Even if you succeed in steeling yourself to all the rejection that you encounter and persevering to play that statistical game, the effect - in my experience, anyway - will be to make you cynical and disillusioned. If you behave like a door to door salesman then you'll be treated like one, and you will come to believe that women are all bitches and/or whores because those are the only sides of them you will encounter.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that most of the guys I see on 4chan who think they're just desperate to get laid are kidding themselves. What they really want is somebody to like them, accept them, and desire them. You're infinitely more likely to find that by being selective and trying to have real interactions rather than by behaving like a door-to-door salesman.

Good tip.

Also got to keep in mind what she is wearing.
Girls are keen on wearing clothes that "express" her, giving you an idea if she wants attention or not.
Also body language.

>What do?
Make a guess what their reading.
Most often people read for school/university, I'd guess from one look at it if it's math/business/chemistry and say how I relate to the subject.
They'll often say what they study, then you again say how you relate to that field. You go on with
>I heard that...*x students are so and so*
>Is it true that *so and so*??
or
>I have friends who study this, they say that *so and so*
or you say at this point what you do, and what you know.
Then sooner or later I'd ask them if they can hand my their stuff. Brows through the book/text.
I'd often say what my favorite format of books is, hardcover/size etc.
In any case, you say how you feel about this and that, and as soon as she engages and says what she things or feels about something, you should either disagree or ask (in a sort of psychological analysis way) Why is that??
More generally, be conscious about your inner monologue and express what you feel about stuff. And also be aware if she reveals an opinion (try to get off the monologue that you inevitable have to start at first) and engage/counter/sympathies with it. If you're sincere, that's hardly ever bad. Even if you sketch why you never considered reading John Green.
At this point you're over the hurdle and you can slow down the conversation, let her do more of the talking.
You eventually want to find something you both like, talk about events in the city, food, and in the end you'll tell "hey, give me your number *hands over phone*, maybe we can XXX in two weeks or so."

Actually said something similar to a girl I had a crush on a few years ago. She was sat reading a book and I couldn't see the cover, so I said 'they die at the end.'

She looked up at me slowly, blinked once, then turned the cover to show me. It was Anne Frank's Diary.

IF A GIRL IS READING IN PUBLIC.

But really though, if she wanted to be left alone she's just be at home enjoying her book. Not a fucking coffeeshop or cafe or other public place where young individuals gather around with each other. Especially if it's a filthy pleb-tier book.

I avoid reading books in public because of that.

I've never even thought about about reading in public before, it's just something I do to fill in the 15 minute gaps when I'm waiting for stuff

I did exchange glances with a qt who was reading the Odyssey whilst I was reading Njal's Saga on the train but that was, for both of us, more a glance of "Holy shit, decent reads there friend" rather than "Let's do it and never stop"

[Anonymous No.6954484]

I'm always wearing headphones and listening to music when I'm reading in public in order to kill the background noise so that I can better concentrate on text. So even if I wanted for a qt to walk up to me and talk to me about the book I was reading, I wouldn't notice.

This has actually been proven to be true in real life, kinda. I once spent fifteen minutes reading my book next to the subway station while waiting for a group of friends to arrive (I'm always super early) before I realized that one of them had actually been sitting next to me the whole time. Apparently he had arrived shortly after I did, had spotted me and walked over, tried to talk to me but I didn't register it at all, and then just sat there next to me, playing with his phone because he didn't want to bother me since I was so focused into the book.
