>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 23 16:37:11 2016 No.8312876 I wouldn't. If she does read (IE read serious literature), she's probablyu some feminazi cunt. There's really no winning here. I'll stick with stupid.

Women don't understand what they read anyways.

As long as she's okay with getting pounded hard and sucking my duck whenever I want, and she knows how to clean the house and make my dinner, I don't care.

Be an alpha. Treat them like the children they are

Reading is a solitary activity.

What you really mean to ask is "Would you date a girl who wasn't equipped to have lit conversations with you"

Well to that I can only answer that every single conversation I've ever had about literature has been abjectely demoralizing in how little it resembled literature itself and how poorly it was able to sustain the feelings which the literature itself inspired in the first place.

Let's be honest here, 99% conversations about lit are two vain squawkers stupidly talking at each other. The only thing these encounters are good for is reminding one of the impassable gulf forestalling genuine communication.

I'd rather date a woman who didn't read at all. She can have her own hobby which I don't understand, which she can explain to me, and which I won't feel the need to comment on but rather will imbibe her opinions as faithful and true, rather than clash heads over tediously diminishing literary minutiae for the sake of a third-removed pretension.

Every one of us is capable of rejecting a woman if a physical relation with her is not right. There is no "position" which compels us to accept any intimacy; there is no pressing urgency in partaking of worldly pleasures.

If you lie with a woman outside of marriage, the sin is your own, and no allowance will be given for your "position" or the illusory necessity arising from it.

Anonymous Sat Jul 23 22:10:45 2016 No.8313878

No. I already get little enough female attention as it is so I am in no position to dismiss a girl based on something so trivial. The odds of running into a girl that's into serious lit is so low anyway; very few of my male friends read let alone read lit. This post >>8312958 is good too, if she did read I'd probably end up scaring her off by being a condescending, pedantic dick eventually.

I would date a woman that did not read so long as she was okay with me reading. If she pulled some shit like I'm talking to another friend of mine that's into literature and she comes up and says "alright stop with the boring book talk already".
Basically she respects my hobbies and I respect hers. I don't date dumb bitches.

If we're being honest I'd bet 90% of the guys on this board don't read either so asking them if they'd disqualify a chick for not reading is pointless. When you look at the /lit/ top books it's all high school or college required reading, there are only a couple of posters who actually read a lot at an adult level.

this is a good point but there is a different use for literature which you forget

a man who has read widely and deeply into poetry will be able to summon poetry on every relevant occasion, and supply a better phrase than you or I might reach for on any given topic. He will be equipped with a wide variety of brilliantly-worded summaries of the various difficulties in life, in love, in politics, etc, from his memory of the great authors and great poets of England's past. And his own powers of expression will allow him to say what he means when he must express an unusual thought.

The purpose of reading is not enabling us to "talk about" books. It imbues the conversations we would have had anyways with more vigorous and more precise language.

Women who consider themselves readers are most likely into YA and shit like that. I'd rather date a girl who doesn't read than a girl who reads that stuff. Someone who's into serious lit would be ideal but it's hard to find people who like that regardless of gender.

No. I don't talk about lit in my daily life. I will with one or two like-minded friends of mine but apart from that I don't bring it up. Which is fine. It is enough for me to like what I like and know why I like it.

If she is independent enough to give me regular time alone to read for long periods without the need for me to constantly entertain her then we are golden.

Yes, OP. Do not date any girl you could not consider marrying - complacency and good sex have doomed many a man to the shallow, joyless prison of a loathsome marriage. And if you do fall into that trap, and she doesn't read great works, she will poison your seed and your life with her stupidity.

Your sons will perpetuate your mistakes, and each branch of your line will grow in garish vapidity like a Kardashian tragedy.

Your daughters will emulate the Miley Cyrus of their times, and come back with their very own versions of the latest Beiber-esque cringefest in tow.

You will loathe the legacy you've built, and realize your obligation to purge your progeny from from the face of the Earth, leaving you to reticent solitude - a withered, moribund husk of the vigorous Atlas you might have been.

Or worse, you'll come to accept the life you've built, and call it "good-enough," thereby striking the cruel and final blow to the last shred of luminous masculinity still clinging to life within you.

Theres definitely some kind of divide between people who read for school or pleasure and people who read cos they really give a shit. Like go find some goodreads reviews and tell me these people arent the scum of the earth. And these people are normal. They got lives they function in society, have kids, pay taxes and shit. And whats inside their heads? Fucking nothing. They couldnt care less about what they were reading, they talk about classical authors with no understanding and no insight. Sometimes im wondering if they actually read, they probably just skim the pages so they could say they finished a book. Like thats the difference, when you give a shit you read for yourself, you dont use it just to pass time or look smart or whatever the fuck these people are trying to do(and dont tell me you do it for fun. this shit isnt fun). And its only natural that a non-scumfuck would seek out find and get more out of obscure books. Cos they give a shit.
