Are you kidding me? More of them would want this than not want this. By a considerable margin. This probably has less to do with you being a reader and more to do with you looking at men who are actually in your own league with disdain because your delusional ass thinks you deserve better.

>>9461826
i think a chick looking for a lit bf probably doesn't have impossible standards so much as she's too precious with the pussy, like she finds poor saps in her lit classes and they go out three or four times but shes so prudish she won't let the poor bastard get a nut off, so he thinks "damn, friendzoned again, oh well" and moves on

Nothing wrong with not wanting to have sex after just a few dates. I'd actually be more interested in a girl that wanted to wait and see if a serious relationship is possible, rather than diving into the bed after dinner at applebees.

>>9461857
depends, if she has a bunch of dudes texting her and shit all the time, then you're always going to think "she sits in this coffee shop drinking my 5 dollar organic lattes and talking lit theory with them, but then she's gonna go home and get fucked by that chad that keeps texting her" only the most beta dude is gonna put up with that for too long

>>9461863
Well yeah, if she's just using beta guys to pretend to have a stable relationship while she fucks chads on the side, then there's an issue. But if she's a virtuous person who is genuinely disgusted by the idea of casual sex, then there's nothing wrong with that

>>9461896

no girl who pretentiously talks lit theory in a coffee shop is adverse to the thought of casual sex. be real now.

>>9461901
if she talks serious lit theory then you know she's down to take some chadwick dick, but if she's just a "bookworm" who's introverted and reads for plot then she probably thinks her pussy is a golden snowflake that has to be saved for mr. perfect, then later in her 30s when she's up to ten cats, she'll be humping every trashy guy on tinder, but by then even the most beta of white knight faggots will have moved on

Some women just prefer sex once they feel there's an emotional connection, a level of trust and respect.

I don't think that's something you can put a time frame on, though strong chemistry makes a difference. I can't sleep with someone unless I've met them at least two or three times because it's so much better when deeper feelings start to develop.

I'm not a science fiction fan, but I have a soft spot for Star Wars novels since I'm a huge fan of the franchise. I'm almost done with this and I definently plan on rereading it in the future. Star Wars books are entertaining but they're usually simple fun to add more to the lore. I feel like I can take something away from this one.

Not sure if I'd recommend it to a non-Star Wars fan since prior knowledge of the lore and past/future events in the canon certainly add to the enjoyment of this novel, as they do with any Star Wars book. I always appreciate when these books go beyond the simple bad guys vs good guys dichotomy to which the movies adhere.

Really? It didn't read like that. I think he might actually be a legit autist. A coffee shop pseud would go and pose with Chomsky or something. They'd never even think of lugging around some Aristotle.

You need to know Aristotle as groundwork before you take on other thinkers. Aquinas, for instance.
