Any literature that would help an introvert understand women and how they think? To catch up on the years and years of missed social interaction with them?

Someone who knows whats up. Someone who speaks on a more fundamental level about man's relation with women. And how women and their nature affects men.

Man in context with women. Women in context with themselves and men. What women are. And what the nature of man is in relation to women.

I am tired of half the people saying how women are vapid, shallow and inferior while the other half decries them as sexist, misogynistic and irrational.

Since I haven't and can't talk to a lot of women irl (And my experiences are biased) I was hoping some literary genius might offer some insight of some profundity.

Talk to people. Books don't help men understand other men better, and much less help men understand women, or vice versa. If you can't socialize, then just go over to /r9k/ and start hating women, because that's really the only thing you can do at that point.

no lit tip, but if you enjoy yourself and what you do etc. the women come from themselves. if you seem needy, they dont want you. they should be the icing of the cake, if they feel like you want some cake and they are this cake they arent as attracted as if you enjoy your cake and, if it happens, you enjoy the icing as well. so focus on yourself and your hobbies and interests and friends and job and whatever, not on the women

Can't talk to people that well. Specially women. They never really show interest desu since there are hundreds of other people vying for their attention anyway and I'm not exceptionally good looking or interesting to stand out. So I don't expect the favor of conversation from them.

(Also, the sex ratio in my country is a bit fucked up which explains the extent to which they're idolized here (as they're very scarce and therefore extremely sought after)).

I want to avoid the whole rigmarole of impressing women to "Earn"/prove myself "worthy" of their friendship. Partly because I've tried before and failed and partly because I do not understand how to participate in the rigmarole effectively.

I tried being myself but could not sustain any prolonged interest. Hence the request for literature that can provide some insight.

You're trying to avoid the fact that you already know enough about women. Don't deny it, women's true essence is disgusting.

What you're looking for is how to exploit their nature for your own purposes or some other reason. Either way, you're being dishonest to yourself and to us for pretending like you don't know how women are.

Op here. Doing this leads to becoming invisible. In my experience the ones who were noticed by women were those who paid excessive attention to them and pursued them relentlessly (even if that meant debasing themselves). There's no shortage of men who'd be much more conspicuous by overtly pursuing them.

Alright you have two routes to go if you fix your shit, A. Become enamoured in the online seduction communities such as r/seduction, PUA (pick up artists) and learn to get sex. Note: it's highly important that you actually talk to people but they help. Option B. is to search for love, that means increasing your social spread in both genders and read Ovid's The Art of Love

I don't to be honest. What I've surmised seems to go slightly against what the general narrative seems to be (and what I've been told to think about women). At the same time I acknowledge that my opinions might be biased and flawed which is why I was hoping for some literary person to have thought and written about it.

>>7936071
Option A: PUA: seems in some sense debasement to me. It seems strange to me that one must come up with such contrived and elaborate schemes in order to gain closeness to women. Something that most people do effortlessly and naturally.

Option B seems much better but increasing social spread is tough for someone to whom literally every pop cultural trope of introversion and social seclusion applies.

You need to stop trying to hang around vain hotties. I talk to women frequently and I haven't had to do shit to impress them. All I "did" was have conversations with people in places like writers' groups, and at the work place, which occur naturally if you're not totally socially retarded. Sometimes I approached women but most of the time they approached me since I'm not outgoing in the least. I'm not good looking in the slightest, but I'm friendly and I learned how to talk to people in a way that doesn't sound forced, so people know that I'm okay to approach if they just want to shoot the shit. Also, the "just b urself" meme only applies when you are an interesting, well adjusted person, and if you're not, you can still eventually grow into one.

The first step on that course would be to never talk to people on a lonely men's board like /lit/; it's just /r9k/ for pseuds. You'd do better to get a hobby, join a hobbyist club, and go on from there. Also, stop basing your interactions with others on their gender, it will only obfuscate what your actually doing wrong in the interaction. Get some self awareness, and become a better judge of character instead of defaulting to stereotype when you interact with people. Also, move, since the country you live in sounds like a terrible place.

>Women have conceptualized less in history not because men have kept them from doing so but because women do not need to conceptualize in order to exist. […] Fetishism, for instance, a practice which like most of the sex perversions is confined to men, is clearly a conceptualizing or symbol-making activity. Man’s vastly greater commercial patronage of pornography is analogous.

>That nature acts differently upon the sexes is proved by the test case of modern male and female homosexuality, illustrating how the sexes function separately outside social conventions. The results, according to statistics of sexual frequency: male satyriasis and female nesting. The male homosexual has more sex than his heterosexual counterpart; the female homosexual less often than hers, a radical polarization of the sexes along a single continuum of shared sexual nonconformity. Male aggression and lust are the energizing factors in culture. They are men’s tools of survival in the pagan vastness of female nature.

>We could make an epic catalog of male achievements, from paved roads, indoor plumbing, and washing machine to eyeglasses, antibiotics and disposable diapers. We enjoy safe, fresh milk and meat, and vegetables and tropical fruits heaped in snowbound cities. When I cross the George Washington Bridge or any of America’s great bridges, I think: men have done this. Construction is a sublime male poetry. When I see a see a giant crane passing on a flatbed truck, I pause in awe and reverence as would for a church processions.

>The Orestia shows that society is a defense against nature. Everything intelligible -- institutions, objects, persons, ideas -- is the result of Apollonian clarification, adjudication, and action. Western politics, science, psychology and art are creations of arrogant Apollo. Through every century, winning or losing, western mind has struggled to keep nature at bay. The Orestia’s sexist transition from matriarchy to patriarchy records the rebellion every imagination must make against nature. Without that rebellion, we as a species are condemned to regression or stasis. Even rebelling, we cannot get far. But vying with fate is godlike.

>Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials. But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper. Male conspiracy cannot explain all female failures. I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant. Genius is not checked by social obstacles: it will overcome. Men's egotism, so disgusting in the talentless, is the source of their greatness as a sex. [...] Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species.

Karen Straughan:
"In other words, women don't make choices; choices are made for women by society, by institutions, by circumstances, and by men. Women need not adapt their choices, actions, behaviors, and priorities in order to become empowered through their own actions: society, institutions, circumstances, and men should all adapt so that women - inert objects that they are perceived to be - can have an obstacle-free path along which they will be "guided" by "encouragement", "steered" in the proper directions and not "forced" to change course by any difficulty, real or imaginary, so that empowerment can be "gotten" for them. You get my point.

Agents make things happen, and objects have things happen to them, right? In the gendered worldview of feminism and the wider culture, women cannot be counted on to make things happen, they must have things be made to happen for them. They're objects, not agents."

This, plus read up on the effects of estrogen and testosterone on cognition. However, the existence of beta men who spoil and fail to stand up to women when necessary is the key to understanding when women don't think like men.

I don't think women are subhuman or inherently trash. My girlfriend is beautiful, kind, and goes to an elite medical school, and I know other women like her who I love to be around. With a loving, supportive family, some but not too much pressure to succeed careerwise, and friends who've had the same, a woman can think an awful lot like a man, whether she is beautiful, hideous, smart or dumb.

Beta men, however, will do anything within their grasp to please women, and these are the majority of men. Betas will spoil women rotten (men can be spoiled rotten too, but the conditions for it aren't as familiar), stab more attractive, confident men in the back, and generally cause chaos in the hopes of touching a vagina.

I don't think that women were often spoiled in primitive societies, and that this is something that started with more prosperous agrarian societies where wealthy men started going out of their way to buy sexual access.

'On Women' by Schopenhauer has everything you'll ever need to know

https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/s/schopenhauer/arthur/essays/chapter5.html

>Neither for music, nor for poetry, nor for fine art have they any real or true sense and susceptibility, and it is mere mockery on their part, in their desire to please, if they affect any such thing.

>This makes them incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything, and the reason for it is, I fancy, as follows. A man strives to get direct mastery over things either by understanding them or by compulsion. But a woman is always and everywhere driven to indirect mastery, namely through a man; all her direct mastery being limited to him alone. Therefore it lies in woman’s nature to look upon everything only as a means for winning man, and her interest in anything else is always a simulated one, a mere roundabout way to gain her ends, consisting of coquetry and pretence. Hence Rousseau said, Les femmes, en général, n’aiment aucun art, ne se connoissent à aucun et n’ont aucun génie (Lettre à d’Alembert, note xx.). Every one who can see through a sham must have found this to be the case.

>Nothing different can be expected of women if it is borne in mind that the most eminent of the whole sex have never accomplished anything in the fine arts that is really great, genuine, and original, or given to the world any kind of work of permanent value...And Huarte, in his book which has been famous for three hundred years, Examen de ingenios para las scienzias, contends that women do not possess the higher capacities. Individual and partial exceptions do not alter the matter; women are and remain, taken altogether, the most thorough and incurable philistines; and because of the extremely absurd arrangement which allows them to share the position and title of their husbands they are a constant stimulus to his ignoble ambitions. And further, it is because they are philistines that modern society, to which they give the tone and where they have sway, has become corrupted. As regards their position, one should be guided by Napoleon’s maxim, Les femmes n’ont pas de rang; and regarding them in other things, Chamfort says very truly: Elles sont faites pour commercer avec nos faiblesses avec notre folie, mais non avec notre raison. Il existe entre elles et les hommes des sympathies d’épiderme et très-peu de sympathies d’esprit d’âme et de caractère. They are the sexus sequior, the second sex in every respect.

stop being a dense asshole. there is the same variety of women as there are men. the same cool people, same idiots, the same whatever in between.

women aren't this "thing to understand." women are people. in all its idiocy and glory like men.

no book can teach you how to grow up and quit being a dense retard. you might find small insights here and there but you really have to talk that road all on your own or you will never grow up.

Women are valued in so far as they have a vagina and make it available (but not too available) in order to fulfil a certain socio-biological niche.

Men are valued according to their worth.

If you're a worthless man bitching that you don't have a vagina and therefore nobody gives you free shit, fuck you. Sincerely, fuck you. Just stop whining and do something. You're like a fat acceptance bitch on tumblr whining that people are wrong not to find you attractive.

I agree that going out and talking to women is the most important step,
but your stant that the fact that there are different women making trying to capture information about women, as a category, meaningless... this is not an argument.

There are many general statements you can take as guidelines in starting to understand how the actions of a standard women can be expected to differ from that of a man.
The thread here focuses on the point that women are spoiled and overprotected (surely true, the statement "I hate men!" is socially acceptible, while "I hate women!" is not something someone can get away with on /tv/ without being disliked by a lot of people)

No one is doing that. I am saying women should stop being valued for having a vagina, so they stop being perpetual children, and men should stop valuing women for having vaginas.

I mean basically I agree but it's unlikely, biology dictates that men pursue women and therefore vaginas are valuable. The way out of this, ironically enough considering the views of the typical person who has a problem with it, is feminism.

You're generalising too hard. I'm sorry you've encountered some shitty women but, hey, I could point you to some women with tales of shitty men. If a girl complains that she always encounters assholes who beat her up or try to control her or whatever, I bet you roll your eyes and judge her for her poor choices, right? So how come you get to complain with impunity that you always encounter entitled, bratty girls?

You know what? I've never met a girl like that. Not in any way that matters. Yeah, I've seen them around, I guess, just like I see thuggish guys. But I leave them to do their thing; I don't expose myself to them. I have no interest in dumb bitches and therefore dumb bitches aren't a problem for me. I've looked for girls I can connect with on a human level, and I've found them. Not a whole lot of them, just like I haven't found a whole lot of worthwhile dudes either. Good people of any gender are tough to find. But if you look, and if you screen out the shit ones rather than trying to fuck them and then getting mad about how awful they are, you can find them.

You need to develop yourself as a man, OP. You are probably no good with people in general, not only with women. You can't really get 'great' at socializing by reading books, they surely can help if you are a top tier autist who doesn't understand basic human interactions, but you still need to go and talk to people.

Do all this for a couple of months, you will probably feel shitty for a while and then you'll start to feel better.

Feminism is the way out of it in the sense that radical hyperfeminism entails a rejection of the perpetual infancy that women are in, but look what TWO FUCKING CENTURIES of feminism got you: Not only have they not become people, they've regressed from patriarchal non-agency to prehistoric non-agency, where all that matters is them being queen bees of cock harems.

We've tried it your way for two centuries, your way being continually apologising for them. Men have perverted every instance of feminism by using it as a platform to surreptitiously pander to them. The only thing we haven't tried is telling them honestly and clearly that they are disgusting non-humans.

This shit is exactly why your project of pseudo-feminism will never work;
>You're generalising [Generalising is valid]
>There are bad people of both genders!! [golden mean fallacy, nicey nice cop-out]
>I'm sorry you've ... [Anecdotes etc.]
>Girls have such a hard time! [Who cares? Men kill themselves three times more. That's why men are actually good, because they have sufficient pressure to create greatness, and no one excuse them from manning up to face it.]
>blah blah blah more anecdotes

The fundamental problem with your vision is that you want men to do all the fucking work. IT'S ABOUT FEMALE AGENCY. GET THEM TO CULTIVATE DISGUST WITH THEMSELVES AND MAYBE ONE OR TWO OF THEM WILL DISCOVER UNUSED RESERVOIRS OF "MAN-LIKE" POTENTIAL.

Stop fucking excusing them. You are right: Men are never going to stop worshiping them. So tell them to reject male supplication as sickening, and especially to reject surreptitious supplication, e.g. in the form of "Oh I'm such a feminist :^) You go girl! Don't worry, it wasn't your fault! It's men's fault! I'll never judge you! I forgive you for being awful!"

Stop forgiving them for being awful. They have to go through a long dark night of the soul and come out the other side as something we didn't fucking create for them and lay down at their feet. Stop trying to GIVE them feminism, stop trying to GIVE them a place in the world, and maybe they will make their own.

Above all, stop implicitly using the great hobbler of women - their role as sexual selectors - as a cudgel to silence men who dare besmirch them. Sit down with some tea and phenomenologically reflect on your kneejerk tendency to question the "virility" of every man as soon as he dares dislike a woman. Think of what that implies.

The more people you talk to the better, learn to hold conversations. Talk about random stuff with people.
If you go to clubs you can try all kinds of stuff there. Force yourself to do it, you'll NEVER get good if you don't.

So now after a couple of months, you look better, eat healthier, get more shit done and are somehow better with social interactions.
There are some tips to make you instantly 'better' at social interactions, this are pretty basic (probably your mom and your dad already told you this)but a lot of people don't do it.
>smile
>look people in the eyes
>have good posture
>use your hands when expressing yourself

Now you are out of autismo mode, you are a regular likeable person. Stop being condescending, stop being ironic and sarcastic when talking to people, MOST people dislike it, dont look down on people. Make good friends and keep them around, get bad people out of your life instantly (men and women).
If a girl is giving you a hard time, most of the time is not worth it and you should dump her. This can make some women even more attracted to you and you'll gain 'power' in the relationship (if that's what you want).

You WILL NEVER be liked by everyone, there will be always people who will hate on you or won't like you. Stop caring about them. Same with women, there are women who will think you are a piece of shit and sleep with some fat loser afterwards, and there's nothing you can do about it.Don't give importance to this events, and keep developing yourself.

>BUT BUT ALL THIS GUYS WHO FUCK CUTE GIRLS AINT DOING ALL THAT SHIT ? DEVELOPING ? LMAO I WANT TO FUCK
Yes but you aren't one of those guys, you are some autismo boy. Sure there are men out there who are naturally good with people and will fuck gorgeous women without much effort, but you aren't one of them and probably never will.
One more tip: start dating several women at the same time (if you can), this will make everything much easier and you'll be less needy

I generally just look down at the ground wherever I am to avoid eye contact and the possibility of a conversation.

>Yes but you aren't one of those guys, ...
I needed to hear this. I accept that fully and want to work to be a better person if that is what it takes.

My lifestyle is a bit unproductive which I need to fix. And since i can't talk to people that well, I've been avoiding them which causes further deterioration. The only way out is risking initial failure and interacting with people more to get used to it.

Men have a lot of problems. We're not talking about those. We're talking about the fact that women are being denied agency by systemic social issues.

I used to be like this, even worse m8, I was afraid to talk to anybody and was basically a hikikomori for a couple of years.
I don't really like to talk about this 'development' stuff because it sounds kind of corny and cliche. Sounds like the shit parents talk about but we never listen, but it works.

I used drugs for years (smoked weed every day, took molly or LSD for parties, benzos to get comfy, tobbacco and alchol everyday) but after you stop you'll feel really bad, at least I did, I got some hardcore depression and eternal boredom of everything. Drugs are an awesome experience but using them all the time is not sustainable. Anyday drugs can stop being available and you'll drift into dark places. This can happen when you are young, you have nothing to lose, and have time, but lets say you use drugs for 20 years and stop in your 40's, you'll be a mess, probably go into depression with more responsibilites and less time. That's why I don't reccomend using them to 'cure' social anxiety.

Start looking people in the eyes, it might be weird first, but then it will become a habit. I mean really dude, how hard it is to just move your eyes and look at the other person ? Its just moving your eyes m8, its REALLY not that hard, think about it.
Another thing to consider is that, a lot of times you'll set a goal, lets say: go to the gym or stop browsing 4chan or whatever, you do it for a couple of weeks or months and then, you slowly stop being commited and you are back where you were before even starting. This is called psychological homeostasis. Basically means you are 'hardwired' to return to that one comfy state you are now in, but you need to fight against that. Everytime you notice you are procastinatig again, stop it and do something else, even if it's chores or work or whatever the fuck.

Where to meet girls ? You can meet them anywhere, the street, online, in clubs. I recomend clubs because you are basically expected to talk to strangers there. If you get blown out it's not a big deal just talk to another girl.

I'm pretty sure that when people ask how to understand "women" they really mean "vain hotties," and who can blame them? One can go a long time without feeling the need do much with any other kind of woman, but those vain hotties stir up desires that are hard to ignore in a way that other people don't. Saying "just stop that" doesn't really help OP any more than suggesting that someone just never try eating chocolate if he asks you what it's like.

I say this as someone who's dated vain hotties and now dates someone less glamorously sexy who makes me more happy than those other girls ever did. Getting to this point is a long journey, and I think anyone who skips trying to get those hot girls is going to feel regret because they'll always idealize them.

I kind of agree here but was a bit afraid to admit this to myself because I felt that it would be extremely misogynistic of me to think this way. Due to the extremely left-liberal education and environment I've been subjected to, I revolt at the slightest idea of making a general statement about women no matter how much I feel it agrees with what I've observed. So for the longest time I've just attributed what my agreements with what you've said to an irrational bias that I'm developing and need to get rid of.

People are "hung up on it" because this site is big on contrarianism. Right now, the main views being repeated in mainstream and non-anonymous social media is that women are angels who need a hand from the government and men to make up for how mean men are to them. The sorta unspoken agreement a lot of 4chan users feel is in place here is that critiquing such views is well and appropriate here. People are doing this for fun, and competing with each other for attention due to the anonymous nature of the site, so yeah, extreme stuff is going to be said. A lot.

Coming in to a thread where people are doing that and going "woah, slow down, lets see some moderation here" is just a strange, quixotic thing to do.

And don't hide behind 'contrarianism' to excuse your shitty views. I believe that when a bunch of 14 year olds first got together on /b/ 13 years ago and got kicks from typing 'nigger' a lot, that was senseless contrarianism. The anti-female thing on 4chan (and for that matter reddit, and half the rest of the internet) these days is not just that. It's a genuine movement, and it's fucking depressing.

Tone policing has nothing to do with it, if what you mean is 'people are shit' but what you say is 'women are shit', that's a serious problem with the way you're expressing yourself.

Plenty of signalling to go around, let's not pretend it's limited to one side of this debate. The rest of the post was made up of actual points (like: 'how about you examine your own life instead of blaming everything on women; how about you also blame men for how they act, rather than just women for how they respond to them') but obviously you'd rather ignore all that in favour of the one sentence that was a glib dismissal so you can claim the moral highground for the bitches and whores circlejerk crew.
