Write letters to every gay author you know saying how their work really spoke to you, helped you through a difficult time. Tell them you're 17. Literary bf acquired.

>>8353336
Absolutely, I thought that was implied in my message.

I hope you know when you walk down the street everyone hates you and is judging you and is laughing at you. you will never be taken seriously. unless of course you have some gay profession. have fun always being a lesser human being. just know being a faggot is a mental illness and you can always go for treatment.

OP, are you the girl that 'doesn't actually read but shitsposts all the same'? if you've been lurking on /lit/ you already know what to do:

*pretend to be lit.
*hang out where the non-autistic lit male population is (near universities, second hand bookstores)
*set a profile on dating sites posing as a "le awkward but nice"
*stalk lit males on goodreads

If you manage to be "qt", "not a slut" and not intellectually threatening to the male at the same time, maybe you'll succeed.

Best of luck.

(Also, I have advice if you're ugly, not very intelligent and unable to read a single book. But I'm not going to share that information here)

One day, oh fair maiden, you certainly will
Now, stop speaking that you'll thyself kill
When the time is right, a good, gentle man you'll meet
But until then, please post a picture of your lovely feet

how do you faggots live each day. like how the fuck do you get through the day. back in grade 9 like 2001 I remember my favorite hardcore band wearing tight pants. not skin tight girls pants like emo/scene bands but like Levis 511. not super tight but tighter than the exco ecko Sean Jean shit everyone wore back then. this was before kids ever thought to wear girls pants. I showed my dad a picture and I said I want pants like that. he laughed and said that shit was popular when he was a teen. what do you know he's still got some at my grandparents house. score! I got myself some tighter Levis. the morning I decide to wear them I'm walking to school. a car is passing by "NICE PANTS YOU FUCKING FAGGOTTTTT". :( uh oh this isn't going well. I feel like shit. I wanna go home and change. fuck that can't be late for school. walk up to school everyone's outside. people are staring and laughing as I pass by. it only gets worse when I go inside. hear people joking about my tight pants. fuck this sucks. never again. then a few years later that kinda shit is in style and I see niggers in tight pants. maybe I'll give it another shot.

how do you faggots walk around knowing everyone else thinks less of you and makes fun of you. wouldn't it be easier to just pretend to be straight.

>>8355657
In this alternate reality where you are an employer, is it their behaviour/manner or just the fact that they're gay that makes you dismiss them?

>>8355770
so what this guy is saying is that the glass ceiling effect fucks over us too? employers see us as women? I don't get it. I never thought my orientation would effect my ability to get a job?

>>8355788
There is literally nothing wrong with sentimentality or sappiness. You've clearly had your sensitivity blunted by a callous and materialistic society. I long for the days wherein men were able to attend elegant balls and meet cute, pale, blushing girls who giggled as she discussed you with her sisters and looked over at you only to look away with her heart pounding when you returned her gaze. Now men are forced to degrade such innocent and pure romantic ambitions and instead sit coldly sifting through a tide of constructed personalities on their mobile phones (a Semitic invention, by the way) in the hope that they may be able to be the third fellow that week to invest his girth into her decaying loins. An absolutely disgusting state of affairs all round.

>>8355791
>employers see us as women?
Fags, not women. It's like women, but without all the interesting parts attached.
>I never thought my orientation would effect my ability to get a job?
Did you consider trying not to be flamboyant? I'm sure the voice intonation and the hand movements are not absolutely necessary.

I literally can't express how much better my life has been since I attended Oxford. I went to a state school and gradually became the stereotypical moody, withdrawn sensitive type who both despises the quality of his immediate culture and feels a weird pride for having been raised in a sort of anti-intellectual and brutal environment. I was all set to take my Russell Group humanities BA and spend my life working as an anonymous, insecure wageslave forever thankful of being offered a job and forever too insecure to pursue my creative ambitions. The chip on my shoulder had become something of a wedge, and I felt too out of place regardless of my environment, too resentful and bitter to even attempt to make it in the artistic world. Then I finally applied for Oxford and got in to study an English MA, with reassurance that should I work hard enough a career in academia or within one of Oxford's affiliated companies would be almost guaranteed. I turned up as apprehensive as usual, and the first few days were spent regretting my decision and desperately feigning a cultured personality. But then I realized that the people there were just interesting and that the snobbery and exclusivity I had anticipated was just a myth borne out of my working class upbringing. I've since graduated, having spend the year dining in grand halls with groups of interesting people, dating several girls (one of whom, a petite Russian whose family traces back to the aristocracy, is now my fiancee). I work four days a week at a publishing company and earn £38k a year. I regularly meet up with friends from my college and visit Oxford for nights out and for meetings with my professors. The Martin Eden-esque novel I have been writing for two years has been selected for publication at a major British publishing house and, honestly, I could not have imagined a few years ago how great life could be. I come on /lit/ and see how pathetic you all are and just shake my head and chuckle. If I saw you guys on the street I would of course throw you a penny or discuss Bukowski or whatever "realist" writers you enjoy, but ultimately I would be able to tell within ten seconds if you're an Oxbridge grad and would dismiss you as a potential source of good company if you are not. I never thought I'd know what it was like to be objectively better than somebody else, for the value of my existence to be superior to the value of a stranger's, but now I do and I've never been happier. People are awed by power and prestige. All I need to do is mention the university I attended (if only for a year) and they immediately begin to hunch and look at their feet because they know they are in the presence of greatness.

That's a wrong assumption buddy, at the start she pretended to have some of my interests because she's read like 5 books; I thought she could be my literary sweetheart. I figured it out pretty fast however; she has a very flat personality and no views on anything.

>Not anyone's fault but your own if you go after the wrong women.

This anon is right. I really wanted to romanticise the working classes, until i started working blue collar jobs, and honestly most of them are feckless, incurious, lazy, nihilistic ass-holes. They are where they are because they do not even think about thinking about doing anything with their lives. Even in the blue collar world they often fail to rise because they are stupid and useless.
Posh twats may at times be annoying, but they actually act sentient. Talking to working class people is little better than talking to fucking plants half the time.

IDK, we both just sit at home alone. I think introverted men in a sense are more likely ending up with a partner because your immense sexual frustration pushes you to social action, such as online dating. I think introverted women are more inclined to just keep being alone at home, rotting away by their passivity. UNTIL, perhaps, the 30s when maternal instincts may bloom.

They read more shit.

As someone who has worked in a bookstore for a year now next to a well known university, older white woman are definitely are customers by far and without question, and that is definitely why we stock shitty books.

It is impossible for me to tell who buys the good stuff because they come in so rarely. Sometimes it'll be an old English man here on vacation who is throwing a delightful fit because we don't have the Ennis translation and how could we think of saying he have a poetry section without a proper Dante? Sometimes it'll be a young female university student from the rhetoric department who glares at me after I tell her no, we don't have Deleuze, of course we should but do you see how small that philosophy section is (I personally updated it when I came in here and she is lucky that even Foucault is in there.) Sometimes it is an old man who says nothing but is all smiles when he thanks me for his Borges collection.

You're right anon women read more, and they read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

And we're shy too, Anon.
Besides, and I know you won't like me bringing this up, BUT even if we would get approached 9 out of 10 times it's not a nice experience. Rejecting someone isn't nice, and you're forced into it as men will approach you even if you're not "asking for it" (e.g. flirting, being at a bar, w/e). And then, almost always, they get upset. You're always a bitch, a whore or a prude. Even if it's not anger it's not a nice feeling turning someone down. You're forced into that social interaction.
This is why it's best not to go outside, one of many, many reasons.
p.s. Not saying this is worse than having noone interested in you, just making a point about how the other side isn't all-green.

Just like to say though if youre the woman who will let a guy know if its even possible then youre doing the ethical thing. most women i know want to be nice by not telling them and instead just ignoring them all together.

So my fedora is off to you sugar titties.

>>8365388
No I get that, there is a price to being approached but at least you have people coming up and saying they are interested.

Also knowing that girls dont want to be bothered by you and rejecting you is another reason to not go up to them and say something. You also feel like a dick.

>>8365388
This is the cringest thing I've done on /lit/ in a while but how should a guy approach a girl in a bookstore?

Somehow I don't believe this is true.

>>8365399
Right, though a lot of men claim this but then in reality call you a cold bitch for being direct (even when of course, still trying to be polite).
Also, a lot of men only sort of flirt through implications, and to then try and be direct by clearly stating your disinterest makes them play it up like you're a ego-tripped whore. For reference, see the whole reddit meme about girls saying "I have a bf" too soon. When it's not that, it's blaming women for NOT clearly saying they have a bf at first sight, then they're whores leading men on.
There's just not really a way to win.

Hey now Anon, it's not my intention to just make you feel more uneasy. But I do recommend trying to hit up strange girls in situations where it's at least more socially open, such as at a party or get-together rather than when she's waiting for the bus. OR, and I do promote this the most, try to befriend girls first. Which you of course can try and do anywhere. There's a big difference in being friendly for the sake of friendship and obviously just trying to get laid.
Then again, I'm not American, as I think most this hour are, and this is of course very cultural.

>>8365409
I think above kinda answers it. I'd recommend being friendly, not flirtatious. Promote continued contact by inviting to a book circle or something rather than straight out proposing sleazy drinks.

This is really bad advice, and you obviously isn't a woman if you think it is.

Women think you actually want to be their friend if you act like a friend. If you want to fuck them, or be in a relationship with them, you cannot under any circumstances act like their brother or you're fucked.

Look, just use common sense.
If a woman likes a man, would them being friends stop her considering a romance with him? Of course not, it'd just strengthen her feelings.
If a woman does not like a man, can she still be friends with him? Of course.

You can't end up in the "friend zone". It's just that either she likes you or she don't. You didn't end up in the friend zone because you were too friendly, you ended up there because she didn't want you as a romantic partner.
And by the way, the whole friend zone idea really illustrates how sex-focused men are. Maybe start seeing women as regular people once in a while, and not just a binary category of "willing to fuck me" vs. "not willing to fuck me". Read The Second Sex

I wish men would just go to prostitutes or something and get their reptile minds at least momentarily softened so you can start treating women like people too.

>>8365504
>If a woman likes a man, would them being friends stop her considering a romance with him?

Pretty much yeah. Women have no problem having men around them but keeping the deliberately distant because they like having men's attention in general.

>If a woman does not like a man, can she still be friends with him?

Lol no. That's just naive. Are you actually friends with people you don't like? Sounds fucking retarded tbqh.

>>8365584
Well there's a lot of middle ground between "wanting for a romantic partner" and "repulsive". Sometimes maybe you just don't feel you have enough in common, or that you have different ambitions. I really do think you have a rather teen outlook on this, everything isn't so black and white.

>>8365594
Maybe you as an individual don't enjoy that kind of attention, but don't think you're representing the female gender in that regard.

>>8365604
>everything isn't so black and white.

It really isn't about what I want to believe. It's what I've observed and experienced living for 27 years.

Maybe you've had a different experience, but in my experience, women will jump through hoops to be with someone they find attractive, even if the person in question has some seriously bad personality traits, and they will ignore others who are upstanding people but less attractive.

This is simply fact.

>>8355715

jesus dude, i'm too young to regret this hard

>>8365632
As do men. Going after shallow and ditzy, but highly physically attractive females, not considering the ugly ones. It's a human thing, not a female one. It can't really be blamed either, I think. Everyone for their own.

>>8365504
>If a woman likes a man, would them being friends stop her considering a romance with him? Of course not

You know that is not true. I've been friends with enough girls and talked with them about boys to know that a lot more goes on with courting then just this. A girl can be interested in you and you can do something to make them not interested in you. Depending on the girl, if you become friends with her and don't make a move, you may accidentally be showing her you are not interested and she goes and dates someone else because other things are going on.

Use common sense, it is completely possible for "really, you used to like me? I would have gone out with you instead of x. You should have said something" to happen.

More over, it could be that a girl wants a boy to be assertive, and if he isn't she will lose interest. I'm sure you have seen relationships go sour over this, it happens during courting too if courting is dragged out because the boy isn't being assertive

>You didn't end up in the friend zone because you were too friendly
Too friendly here means never making a move

There is some miscommunication going on in this thread.

>>8365632
This is what ugly people tell themselves to give themselves an excuse to not bother with girls because they're afraid.

>>8365584
Not her, but you are an idiot.Just because somebody isn't ugly doesn't mean you have to want to fuck them, you lizard-brained degenerate.

>>8365645
>females

>>8365645
It really isn't a "human thing", because men are responsible for courting, and women are simply the receivers of men's advances, so nothing romantic or sexual is ever going to happen unless a women acquiesces to this happening.

Anything that happens in the sexual sphere is entirely up to women, they have all the power in this regard.

A man can want to "go after shallow and ditzy, but physically attractive females" all he wants, nothing's going to happen unless she finds him attractive.

Obviously you need to "make a move" if and when you want to go from the friendship to something else, you can't just magically expect other people to read your mind and emotions. How can you expect otherwise? That's not you being "friend-zoned", that's you being friends with a female, and not telling her anything about what you want.
Jesus, am I just being baited right now?

Nah, I'm done with this thread. This American-male teenage drama bullshit where everything spells out like an inverted Disney drama. Talk to real adult women, in real life, try and open your minds, try seeing individuals, try seeing complexity and not meme like stereotypes where the two genders come from different planets. Or read more books by women, and I don't mean Twilight.

Again, that was the miscommunication going on in this thread. I wasn't advocating for it.

I can usually tell when a girl is showing interest, for example if she's asking if I have a girlfriend, or would date someone from her race.
