There are tons of relatively patrician qts at elite universities in my experience. It's not fair to expect them to have the same autistic level of interest as a lonely male 4chan poster, but I've seen some solid bookshelves and had some great literary discussions on dates with Ivy+ girls.

>this triggers the state school plebs

>>9118107

No, because young people are concerned with fitting in above almost anything else these days. It's why everybody looks like they're trying to be a model for Urban Outfitters. And why everybody reads the same shit and uses the same phones and the same apps and the same sites and reads the same news etc.

I'm 27 and find my generation (and the gen above) much more individual than any young people I meet.

>>9118172
Lol

If you are fantasizing, you might as well go all out and claim that you gave them an orgasm after the date.

>>9118193
Nigga, your generation is the one he is talking about.

Tell me what 27 year old does not look like an exact copy of somebody else?

>>9118194
There are plenty of 4chan users at those schools dude. Back when Yik-Yak was good, it was practically /pol/ on campus.

>>9118197

Is he? I thought he was talking about college kids or something. But yeah, I don't disagree with you. Most 27-year-olds are quite boring too but I think it's getting more homogenised as time goes. There's still a flicker of individualism in my gen but, as I suggest, it's not quite as pronounced as the slightly older people I meet.

>>9118214

Also, I came to that conclusion because the only person I know who's actually read Rupi Kaur is 21. And the only people I've ever seen buy her book - i'm a bookseller - are around that age.

>old hag (young women is just another term for 'old hag')
>cute
Fuck off reddit.
>>9118172
>elite
Elite schools don't exist, they're just factory schools with more money and an impressive campus (to inflate tuition, of course).

>>9118168
its fake you idiot

you never read any rupi kaur poem, dont you? You would respect her otherwise

As a man, you should impose your tastes on women, they have no will of their own.

>>9118193
>>9118214
It's probably just got to do with getting older, and as you get older you come more into your own instead of being a follower of the masses, for a variety of reasons (continued brain development and maturity; no longer being around a bunch of aimless kids with no responsibilities that are your age for 6+ hours a day every day; etc).

At least I hope so because the current generation and their constant IRL memeing and talk about internet culture is so annoying. It amazes me that I grew up when the WWW had literally just came about (I'm 25) and was this incredible new, novel thing, and the internet has been in tens of millions of homes for over 20 years now, yet this current generation acts like the internet is this brand new cutting edge fad that just came out. Everything that is on the internet is somehow absolutely hilarious and amazing and must be talked about non-stop and inserted into conversations all the time.

Go gay!!

>Some 10% of CEOs currently heading the top 500 companies received undergraduate degrees from Ivy League colleges, according to a survey by executive recruiter Spencer Stuart. But more received their undergraduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin than from Harvard, the most represented Ivy school.

Well their shitty state school education worked out okay for them.

>>9118394
>Harvard undegraduate population = 6,699
>University of Wisconsin, Madison undergraduate population = 31,662

UMad is definitely one of the stronger state schools, don't get me wrong, but it's important to note that it's 4x the size of Harvard. It would also be interesting to know how many of those CEOs got their MBA or JD at an Ivy.

Really makes my brain burn up some phosphate

You've gotta engineer her taste bro. Recommend her good authors in a style peripherally related to what she reads. Offer articulate but mild critiques of what she reads. Don't come off as harsh or elitist, but educated. You might have to slog through some of her recommendations but in the end it will have been worth it.

>Everything that is on the internet is somehow absolutely hilarious and amazing and must be talked about non-stop and inserted into conversations all the time.

Yeah, but I think that's because the internet is all kids have to form their social identities these days.

I'm a /britlad/ from a midlands town and when I was younger, me and my mates always go out to watch gigs (local and touring bands). Now those venues have all shut down and the varied social scenes like those I flirted in don't exist. I've had conversations with older people about that type of thing and I know a lot of their social interactions were formed around those types of cliques too.

That's a personal example of course but I think it explains why the internet is as big a phenomenon as it is. It's the only thing young people have in common and they actually base their entire social existence around it. People go out of their way to indulge in shit books like Rupi Kaur's big book of aphorisms masquerading as poetry simply because it's part of their social identity.

It's a weird world.

OP here, you serious bros? Is she still salvageable? I know my taste will seem very patrician to her (I haven't revealed my power level yet desu). I don't want to come across as too much of an elitist douche, but I'll try. I don't want to force her to read Joyce or some other super difficult author. What are some authors you guys would rec for hacking her literary tastes? Virginia Woolf? Dostoevsky?

>>9118107

She has to really like you though.

You can get plebs into quality literature.
I know one girl who only used to read YA and got into Ishiguro via Never Let Me Go and now reads decent stuff as well as her trash on a regular basis.

>Is it even possible to find a young cutie reader/writer girl who is at least semi-patrician bros?
I exchanged numbers with a girl who's reading Infinite Jest atm. Just yesterday she asked me if I wanted to meet and I said no.
Point is: there are girls who have at least some iota of taste. Just gotta be lucky enough to find them.

>>9118107
Here's some advice:
Don't go for girls who "like reading and writing". That's like wanting a girl who is serious about a sport and going for the one who "likes fitness", or like being an outdoors guy and going for the girl who "likes adventures".
Learn to read social cues.

Second piece of advice:
Girls don't have to have the same taste as you or identify with old men who smoke, drink and hunt or channeled their sexual frustrations. Let them read Munroe or Austen or whatever.

When it comes to literature, both genders are equally fucked up in my experience. There's just as many men who read YA or genre fiction or shitty scifi.

>>9119329
There is very little shitty sci-fi.

The genepool is gonna wipe the sweat off its forehead when OP finally dies childless.

>>9119355
Maybe if you define it narrowly but there's enough GRRMartin-in-space out there, thousands of pages of derivative Lovecraftian shit, more high-fantasy shit than anyone could ever read, etc. - males read a lot of dumb shit too.

>>9119239
I had never considered this
>tfw too servile in nature to develop normal relationships

>>9119355
There is very little good sci-fi and my standards have been eroded*

Jesus, why do I love these Rupi Kaur threads so much? I love it when people post real shit from it, I love when people post fake shit, and I love when people claim the real shit is fake shit so I'm duped into looking up more real shit. I've never been so gladly infuriated since I binge watched Bill O'Reilly clips when I was 16.

>>9120075
I never even knew who this poo in the loo girl was until this afternoon.

Her poems are shit, but she is a year younger than i, and already published, and respected in literary circles.

Just saw she narrates the audiobook, what a treat. You can listen to a sample.

>>9119329
I don't think anyone is disputing that men sucks as well as women, but most here are, at least reportedly, interested in girls.
Wanting your partner to share your niche interest is not necessarily sexism.

>>9119355
HAHAH you're fucking delusional. There is so much derivative formulaic trash out there. In fact the majority of science fiction is trashy and horrendous, and I say that as someone who loves sci fi.

>>9122386
I haven't been to /lit/ in a while, but I thought that "pseud" always meant pseudointellectual, like somebody who was pretending to be well read or smart. Wouldn't somebody admitting to not knowing something be kind of the opposite of a pseud?

>I want a girl who shares my interests and tastes and is like me in every way

No, you fucking idiot. That's what male friends are for. Date a mirror if you want a partner that's exactly like you.

Think about it, are your parents exactly the same in their personalities? I know mine aren't, they're practically polar opposites.

You want a partner that's not like you. Someone with different perspectives, someone who can share something new with you. Never go looking for a female version of yourself, because she'll never be good enough.
