Tinder is for perverts, don't you know /lit/ is a Catholic board? Trash this, start the thread over.

Honestly the great Gatsby is one of my faves too

meh I guess Gatsby is ok. I mean he's not as great as your tits ;)

>>9462117
This, A tinder thread is a really trashy way to start a thread in this place

I couldn't say for sure.

>>9462280

Here's mine.

"If you can define Hedigger's construction of Dasein in a concise fashion, I'll have no choice but to marry you, no questions. If you're not much one for existentialism, sitting on my face and then going to get whataburger or some sort of absolutely delicious shit-food is good too.

If your only humor is "ironic" self-deprecation please stay 50 ft away from me."

It just works (tm)

>>9462191
I've been having a lot of relationship angst recently, but this almost perfect description of my girl (she's not tumblr) made me really appreciate what I have. Thanks anon

>>9462481
sounds insufferably desu

and what on earth do you mean by "construction of Dasein"? Dasein is the starting point for the whole existential analytic -- from what could it be constructed?

>>9462481
I bet you get 0 matches with that bio

No, I'm repulsed that he didn't even bother learning how to spell Heidegger. I don't date plebs.

why must we try so hard

>>9462563
I figure his target are the sort of hipster chicks who want to latch onto somebody smart (if that even is a stereotype).

It's probably pretty effective at targeting that specific sort of person

>>9462597

Yeah, that's pretty much it. You guys would hate me but I'm not going to sit and try and defend myself on here because I'm just going to put my foot in my mouth.

Most of you are probably better versed in Heidegger than I-- though I like him a lot for his early stuff in regards to his Luddite-ish views and I did like Being and Time for like the whole, like, you have a moral (this is bad word, I'd guess. Flail me you fags) imperative to be a participant in the world. I think that the question of reality is inconsequential and I like his view on it all. Just do it, I'd guess.

Otherwise yeah, egg on my face, totally misspelled his name.

I know that feeling. Sometimes I wish I would've been born way before the current day and age where advanced technology wasn't present; to me it's almost as if technology drains the meaning out of human interaction.

>>9463937
Could be because reading is viewed as something that only "intellectuals" do and all these newcomers can't wait to flaunt their knowledge of books.

>>9463967
I see you've read Marshall McLuhan.

>>9463981

>try to withhold from CLASSICAL LITERATURE SUPERIORITY
That's the worst thing- it IS a classic book. This isn't classical literature superiority, it's a hipster 'your tastes are mainstream' thing.

>>9462104

Nowadays you'd be glad to find a girl that reads at all, especially if she reads books outside of The Hunger Games, those faggy vampire books they made those films about or 50 shades of suppressed longing to be dominated and degraded.

>>9464509
It's not even that. There's nothing wrong with liking or even loving the Great Gatsby. It's the fact that she's trying way too hard to pull off the fake "I'm so nerdy and smart" vibe that makes me think she's a dunderheaded melon.

>>9463214
Was trying to be condescending while remaining polite. The conversation ended there. Why do you think I posted this garbage?

t. OP protecting his fragile ego

>>9462104
I went on a Tinder date with a girl who claimed to be "well-read". I told her I liked DFW, most specifically Oblivion and The Pale King, and she said she didn't like him (understandable so I didn't care), but in terms of "contemporary lit", she preferred Tao Lin's Shoplifting From American Apparel.

When we met up and talked more, she said "Oh yeah I only read a few things from Girl With Curious Hair and thought he was really overrated", and proceeded to praise BEE and told me I should read Hitchhiker's Guide.

Cool girl and she moved shortly after, but holy shit she was a bigger pseud than I am.

>>9464786
I don't know if you are calling me retarded or the guy who I responded to. But I'll just answer that the whole point of Heidegger's letter on humanism is to demonstrate that fundamental ontology is neither existentialism nor humanism.

>>9464841
>implying anyone discussed anything but OP pic

>>9464868

no I'm calling you retarded because Heidegger is widely accepted as an existentialist. The fag in the original post wasn't talking about his letter on humanism, he was talking about Being and Time, or at least I assume because he brought up dasein. Nice backpedal attempt though, props.

>>9464897
He exposes both in Being and Time and in Ontology Hermeneutics of facticity that his philosophy is noot existentialist. Precisely because the ultimate goal of Heidegger is to understand being as a whole, its fundamental analysis begins in existence but is not the main focus, only an analytical tool to interpret Being.

>>9464897
Besides, Letter on Humanism ponders on the reception that Being and Time had in Sartre's philosophy. You know if you only had read it you may know that there's a whole section in it explaining why being and time wasn't a existentialist treatise. :)
