Stay in Brooklyn you fucking faggot. If I see you with your girl anywhere in the village I'm popping you in the jaw.

How... Absurd!

Im a khv autist I dont have friends so having a gf is beyond my comprehension

>>9357683
I am an autist too and I got a gf. Let me tell you, it will feel unnatural to you and it will probably not work because you are so divorced from the very idea of being in a relationship. It requires sacrifices you will not be willing to make or even understand understand the importance of.

Sure, the initial thrill will be great, but once it reaches even the earliest stages of something serious you will freeze and you will be anxious.

I am speaking this as a former robot. Well, rather a cyborg, because I am not a normie by no means

Been in my relationship for a year and a half and I am still stunned by all the problems relationships bring, because I'd never dreamed being with another person was anything more than just hanging out, fucking and cuddling.

God speed, anon.

Let me say that girls need action more than robots do.

While a robot would be content with watching a flick with a cutie girl, she will want to go on a road trip tomorrow, and then see a movie on the weekend, and then to travel with you to another state.

She will need you to go out of your way and change your routine/plans, so that you can be with her. This is quite hard if you are a robot, because robots are used to having all the freedom to do what they want whenever they wan, especially if they are NEETs.

It's the same as those sacrifices I mentioned above: initially it is no problem because you finally have a gf and you are pumped because you are experiencing something new, but when you realise you are no longer the protagonist in your own life, but rather a part of a duo, you start to feel anxious and slowly your dates become a routine too, just another entry in your daily plan that you cross after it's done. Like going for groceries.

And it can be even harder if you fuck up sexually. If you are a porn addict, you are very likely to find her body completely boring and you are likely to have a limp dick, or a semi at best. No matter how cute she is she will not look like your favourite cam girl when she takes her clothes off. Hell, even the cam girl would be boring if you saw her in real life. You will be disillusioned and you will lay there naked with her thinking about how your arm is not comfortable or how she's pressing your stomach too hard.

A girl that is craving my dick says she loves reading altough I believe she is pretty pleb. She has a nostalgia boner for Hunger games bc it was her first novels but she admits to it being a guilty pleasure. She likes Oscar Wilde and is starting to peek into literature. I may gave her a taste of my knob, show her this hellhole and turn her into a litizen who posts DFW's and Pinecones.

Dump her like a bag of African dirt.

This thread sure doesn't make me want to off myself at all haha

My ex-girlfriend read ultra-pleb shit like Eragon, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter. Our first date was ironically at a bookstore, where I spent the entire date explaining to her the significance of the Greeks and why her taste is shit because she told me she didn't know who Plato is when were browsing the philosophy section. I'm surprised she liked me enough after that autistic flareup of mine to continue dating me.

She cheated on me a year later, and I can't help but feel my elitism was part of it.

Fuck this thread

She just finished Machen and is going on a Le Fanu binge. She'll read Clark Ashton Smith after that.

>>9357839
>She cheated on me a year later
Wait, you kept seeing her after you saw who she was at the bookstore? Laughing out loud at you're life, my friend.

>>9357741
>You will be disillusioned and you will lay there naked with her thinking about how your arm is not comfortable or how she's pressing your stomach too hard.

Jesus dude, do you jerk off thrice a day? Just lay off the porn for a while and that issue will sort itself out.

>>9357387

My GF also though she reads popular stuff like Stieg Larson also.

My partner - it calls itself non-binary - reads the same books as I and at the same time. I call it my hand.

>>9357377
I want to shove my dick right up in her hairy pits and pluck the hairs out one by one - foreskin tongs.

Why not? If you expect to find an intelligent woman and wait for her, you are going to be lonely your whole life. At least she was literate. Women all have pretty much the same personality, just find one that looks attractive and fucks well.

Then you should know what you're getting yourself into with these ""literates."" I mean this girl was probably borderline obsessed with Harry Potter, wasn't she? That type is inherently unstable. That isn't to say all girls who read are like that, but if they're on the ultra-pleb protein like you said that one was then why even bother?

>>9357377
Nabakov, Pasternak, and Russian poetry.

>>9357949

I am also currently turning a girl into a patrician with my penis. I noticed that whenever I mentioned a book or an album she'd inevitably start posting about it on her tumblr blog. Much to my pleasant surprise she was able to answer most of my probing questions- she was actually reading the books I mentioned.

She seems a lot sadder now, I've put her through in six months what took most of us agonising years, and I think there is an implicit understanding between her and I that we will never so much as kiss and that I view her purely as an experiment.

>>9357648
>lonely cunt

Mostly sociological theory and religious histories. She occasionally reads literary stuff I hand her and she seems really into feminist drama after I showed her "Top Girls," so I think I'm going to rec her more of that.

>>9357852
Take it from an actually healthy male who isn't scared of porn and isn't addicted either: I can jerk off three times a day and still fuck my wife three or four times a day on average. She's thankful I'm self-aware enough to masturbate (only sometimes to porn) as an outlet, and while she has some insecurities about porn she seems to understand how unfounded they are in my case. Some days I have no desire for porn and indulge myself on her pretty mercilessly, she enjoys it and says it's really fulfilling. On the other hand she freely admits it's hard on her body and is glad I'm not constantly drilling her with that frequency, making it something that happens maybe three or four times a month.

Basically, people demonize porn but it's a tool, like anything else. People poison themselves with food, too, but the blame is often squarely with the people and not with the food.

>>9357377
she doesn't read. all the books in our apartment are mine.

>>9357377
The girl I am seeing has borrowed Lolita from me and is reading that.
Before that, she read Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari.

Shit like Twilight and books by John Green. I'm not even kidding. Sometimes she reads Bronte and Jane Austen, but that is as far as she can get.
I always try to show her good stuff, sometimes she likes it, but without getting invested. I introduced her to Pessoa last week. She read two of his poems, liked them, but then went back to YA shit.

Sci-fi and mystery

The girl I'm seeing right now is all over the map, she's just finished reading the Master and Margarita, now she's reading some B list 80s fantasy paperback.

We talked about books and reading for like two hours on our second date.

To kill a Mockingbird is her favorite book, and I think it has a sequel she sort of likes.

She's into Dosto, also enjoys Rohinton Mistry, Conrad, Tolkien, and an assortment of mid-tier stuff. I plan on getting her into the good stuff, and she seems receptive, although she likes what she likes and that's entirely okay.

>>9357964
I mean, it's understandable if you have kids. It's good to pre-screen a bit of that before you let your children go at it.

I found a really neat used bookstore on a trip to chicago a couple weeks ago and bought her a 1936 edition of John Milton's complete poems with Gustave Dore's illustrations for PL.

>>9361384
What's the store named, anon?

>>9361396
Selected Works Books or something along those lines. It was really cool, probably smaller than my apartment but floor-to-ceiling with good shit. There was a cat who lived there and it was in some kind of huge old fine arts building with different voice coaches, instrument repair places, stuff like that.
After I found that for her I got myself a two-book set with all of In Search of Lost Time from 1932 (an older translation that still called it Remembrance of Things Past). It was only $20, the Milton was only $10 I think.

Don't hit on her in an obvious and moronic fashion, but there's nothing wrong with asking her what she reads. A smile and innocent conversation are enough. It's up to her to show interest (of any kind) at that point, if she doesn't then don't push it obviously.

But the idea that you can't approach a woman when she's working is foolish, whether it comes from women or not. I've met lots of women while they were working.

That's even worse. Not really liking the franchise, but liking the fact that it gave you good memories a long time ago.

>>9366340
I think liking a children's fantasy book series to the extent that you make it part of your identity, as an adult mind you, is far worse than fondly remembering something that gave you joy in childhood.

I read Harry Potter, Eragon, Redwall, you name it as a kid, and I loved them all then. By the time the last book in the Eragon series came out I was in high school and I couldnt get past the first chapter because it was too juvenile by that point. My tastes changed and I found more enjoyment in reading things with more depth.

Why would you want to remain a child mentally when there is so much more to explore as an adult?

My ex had a shit-tier taste in """"literature"""" - the last thing I saw her reading was Mr Mercedes from Stephen King. One of the many reasons why she's a former.

It's pretty harmless. Sportsball fans do the exact same thing.

>Why would you want to remain a child mentally when there is so much more to explore as an adult?
I get that your tastes change as you get older, and I had similar experience with Inheritance, couldn't get past the first 10 pages although I was obsessed with the previous books. But I think Adults can still enjoy franchises made for children for what they are, creative, fun, light hearted worlds full of wonder and amazement. I don't think there's an age limit for these kinds of things, especially when you look at how prevalent myths and fairy tales are throughout the world.

Because it's fun and epic, anon, come on live a little just have some fun, okay?

My gf comes from a poor family in a small town, so she didn't grow up reading like me, but as soon as she came to my house and saw my collection, she started getting interested, so I gave her Stranger in a Strange Land and Brave New World, and she won't stop texting me to tell me how cool this part she's reading is, and how excited she is to read the next part, and so on. Feels amazing, man.

There are fun and epic fantasy books written for adults. Usually they leave out all of the pre-teen garbage in YA fantasy novels.

>>9367341
Great, you understood!

>>9357377
Mostly fantasy and "women's lit". It's kind of sad really. She has over 4000 books, many of which are beautiful hardbound classics. But she never reads anything older than Terry Pratchett. It's good for me. When I decide to read a classic, we usually have it already.

I think of her as a horder, but at least she's organized. If it doesn't fit on a shelf, she has the boxes all labeled with a number, and I can go to her Librarything profile and she'll have the box it is in as a tag on the title. She even has boxes for "Read books" labeled with a year and letter. It's how she keeps track of what she's read. Anything that goes back on one of our sagging shelves just gets the year for a tag.

>>9367135
I'm not saying that adults can't have fun or read something epic. But the ones who make something like Harry Potter such a huge part of their life that they go so far as to decorate according to their "house" colors, or something like that is just absurd. I would think and say the same for any sports fanatic as well.

Very few anymore. We had to move across the country a few years ago, and I tossed all of the cheap Target bookshelves because the particle board was all dying from all of the book weight anyways. We bought an old farmhouse built in 1900 and I refuse to buy cheap shelves this time around, so until I find some nice hardwood shelving at some estate sales, that will match the vibe of the place, almost all of the books are currently in rubbermaid totes from the move. The kitchen has a built in shelf, and our cookbooks are all there. It might convey something about her obsessive collecting. To be fair quite a few of the cookbooks are mine. I like to cook. I would love to have built-ins int he rest of the house, but I don't think it's feasible. So estate sales work well. I'm looking for early 1900's hard wood shelves, and a bit of mix and match in styles actually works for old houses.

>>9368017
We both cook a lot. We host a lot of parties. It's actually why we bought this house. It's got an open 3rd of an acre that used to be a horse paddock. We use it to host pretty big parties. Live music, The barn has been converted to allow people to crash out when they've had too much to drink. We even have a few portapotties behind the barn.

>>9368047
I don't know, generally cooking-people have some sort of fetish for them.

>>9368054
Are you rich or something?

>>9368055
Also true. I love to hit the cookbook section of used bookstores and just grab anything that interests me. We'll cook a few recipes out of each book and we mark up the pages with what we've tried and liked, and any changes we would make.

>>9368061

The bands are all friends that come for the party and happen to play. For the 4th of July we actually pay a band because it's a bigger turnout. The city fireworks are easily visible from the paddock People tend to chip in on the food, and everyone brings their own alcohol.

We both have decent paying jobs, and no interest in having kids, so disposable income isn't really a problem. But it's not like it costs us much to throw a party. All of my friends tend to bring food, or ask if there's anything that we need before they show. My biggest expense on any given party season is the whole hog roast on the 4th of July.

no shit, brave new world was an awesome read regardless of when you specifically pick it up

>>9368169
I'd find anyone who is new to reading sci-fi not gushing over how Huxley relates to our world today to be odd. I just don't find it odd for someone to be bonding with his gf over it.

Certainly nothing relating to her love of another man's cock.

Are you actually fucking stupid? Giving your girlfriend a manual on fucking everything that moves and having her tell you how great it is is the a surefire way to getting her to cheat on you. And she's going to think you're ok with it.
It's one of the only times where calling someone a cuck makes sense. This board is so fucking embarrassing.

>>9369611
Stranger in a Strange Land is a manual on fucking everything? I've never read it.

Tolkien-everything. Fucking beta males on here all have cringy-ass girlfriends.

>>9369737
I wouldn't say that. It is a manifesto on how attractive young women should have sex with weird old men by a weird old man.

My girlfriend reads lots of Russian lit as she's learning Russian, as well as a lot of philosophy (the greeks etc.). She also reads things like Camus and Sartre for her French, and lots of English literature (George Elliot, Shakespeare, Austen, Orwell, Wilde etc.) and some American like Keroac and Vonnegut, Steinbeck and Hemingway.

There's also a smattering of other writers from other countries like Marquez, Borges, Milan Kundera, Calvino, Cervantes etc.

I think she's reading Lovecraft at the moment.

>>9369611
yeah, and if she reads the stranger she'll think you want her to kill some arabs

I read much more than my boyfriend, and mostly the classics and philosophy.

I started on Austen etc. when I was 11 and never looked back. I read lots of English, Russian and French literature because I'm a native English speaker and am leaning those languages.

I don't mind American stuff, and enjoyed Steinbeck and Hemingway and some of Fitzgerald and Heller, but it's not really my cup of tea.

I grew up surrounded by classics because my parents are a librarian and an English teacher, so I never really went through a YA phase.

My boyfriend barely reads, and it's honestly kind of annoying. I suggest things and he just turns them down because they're too long.

>>9357755
W-whoa.

Am I to understand from this thread that girls that read good books actually exist? Or are you all roleplaying?

Yes. My girlfriend is obsessed with Kierkegaard. Another friend keeps asking me to read Nietzsche so she can discuss him with someone. I convinced my ex to read The Recognitions because she studies art history and she called me back after being pissed at me for weeks because Stanley's death made her cry.
You shouldn't take your opinions on vast swaths of humanity from the wailing of frogposting /pol9k/ autists like >>9370306. Most girls are fairly normal people as varied as men. They have their own version of the mouthbreathing autists, fat tumblrinas, who engage in conversations just like this asking why "all men" exclusively care about football and videogames.
