Do you and your girlfriend share similar tastes in literature?

>>9890189
I'm single. Mostly because the only girls I'm in a position to meet are total plebs. I actually ended my last relationship almost entirely because I ended up hating her because she was, for lack of a better term, a fucking pleb. I honestly wish I could even meet a pseud who at least understood the value of being well read.

>>9890196
I ended my last relationship because she decided out of the blue to get tattooed on her upper breast. Like what the fuck, man. She was pretty normal before that, too.

>>9890189
I think the only thing my GF reads is twitter. Yes I do resent that

>>9890201

Ask her, talk to her about reading, make suggestions about books you could read together and discuss

My girlfriend couldn't get through a 40 minute long read for some theoretical guidance in a project we're working on together.

I recommended adderall. Considering break up.

>>9890215
>Ask her, talk to her about reading, make suggestions about books you could read together and discuss
You think I haven't done this, nigga? We've been to bookstores together and I always find something and she never gets anything. She has heard me talk shit about some authors and books so I honestly think she is afraid I might call her a pleb or something stupid like that if she read something I "didn't approve of".

>>9890251
Might be time to trade up, my dude

my ex gf is an absolute beautiful patrician who prolly reads more than i do and the best person I've ever met and i ruined our entire relationship by cheating on her in a fucked up insecure rock bottom drug/alcohol/self-deception induced stupor and then lying to her about it because I'm a fucking moron who fell for the nihilism meme for a few months

I am now desperately attempting to repair what is left of our relationship and earn back some semblance of trust

she posts here

Gonna go to school soon, hopefully. If i keep my shit together then maybe i can get into a good grad school or something.

i just want my best friend back

I have never had a girlfriend and I have never tried to get one. It really bothers me but I'll do nothing about it

>>9890394
i have also lost a dearest, good friend of mine. it is a somber feeling, to be so acquainted with someone that has departed from our lives, for one reason or the other. mine is far less sinister, but the fault lies within me regardless for having let it happen -- and end -- in such a naive, and permanent way.

a truly special friend to me, an individual i had cherished, and still sometimes do, whom i have supposed never felt the same way about me. but as they say, if you love something then set it free. i truly loved this person in as wholesome of a way i could possibly mean it in, and still do, and so i still hold the hope that one day this cherished person will return to me on their own behalf.

perhaps my naivete that has gotten me into this somewhat dire situation has not been subdued after all. instead, it has been pumped full of toxic radiation juice and evolved into something far more disgustingly retarded

She goes to art school and watches a lot of kino.
She's quite stiff and conversation is difficult; we know to take a few weeks without talking to recharge.

>>9890495
not sure i agree with that despite my tendencies towards cynicism. i think personal relationships are one of the most valuable things any man could wish to have as they are dependent on time, the most valuable resource we have. but if you have any book recommendations i will entertain them with an open mind.

i had prayed for the second time in my life last night, and while i have sought forgiveness in the past i have not truly felt any atonement for what i had let happen. i feel this could only be done through them forgiving me on their own behalf but perhaps this philosophy of mine will change

>>9890511
nah and i'm not really talking about a girlfriend either. i just thought it was relevant, as far as any personal relationships go

She's more patrician than me in her tastes but probably not as broadly read, if only because she likes to re-read books a lot and has a job which takes up her valuable reading time.

Before she met me she only liked hunger games and twilight.

I've made her read Bram Stoker, Kafka, Tchekov, Stendhal, Joyce and Flaubert, and the last book she bought was twenty thousand leagues under the sea.

But her focus is in the academy/biology so she doesn't read much at all, her taste is pretty pleb (Taylor swift and gilmore girl) but I actually love her for that, so whatever

Kind of the same thing happened to me could years ago, but I'm glad I turned my life around and my gf was mercifull enough to take me back. I love her so much it's just unbelievable.

My gf has different a taste, reads mostly magical realism and art theory academics (Gombrich, R. Krauss, etc). I'm not resentful of that, but its probably because she reads way less than me.

Though girls are not supposed to read that much, I think. I feel they have a very diverse sensibility compared to men, more prone to music, plastic and performatic arts. But I could just be generalising by my gf's standard.

>>9890189
>Girlfriend
My ex-girlfriend only read YA and science fiction, and rarely, but I didn't really begrudge her lack of interest. However, she was mentally unwell in the literal as well as the literary sense. Hid her emotional affairs from me, finally decided to move across the country to fuck her favorite sugar daddy, who was particularly pliable.

It sucked never being to talk to her about books, though.

>>9890895

wow a relationship based on love and not cynicism and stupid things like "taste in lit"

>>9891850

As passing affairs during your continental tours, but for life long companion ship?

Lord, no.

My gf likes philosophy, she's in love with Kierkegaard. I don't read much philosophy but I've introduced her to novels that I correctly guessed she'd like.
When I went on a trip to Chicago I found a copy of Milton's collected poems from 1936 and bought it for her. I showed her the beginning of the third (?) book of PL where he writes about the things he misses since going blind but being hopeful about God showing him inner light despite all of it and she cried.

>>9891843

Damn son, maybe you should've been screening her texts more

>>9890656
you are right

My gf is mostly into into classics while I even if I do read high literature occasionally feel like I'm a bit to much of a pleb for it and mostly stick to hard sf. She actually enjoyed some of the novels I recommended to her. It's funny there is a lot of talk about pleb women in this thread but in my circle of STEMfags most girls read more and read better literature than most guys.

positive outlook is important.
If your state of mind is that you're constantly dwelling obsessively on your own inadequacies and bathing in cathartic self-pity then you'll get nowhere. If you man up and decided to take some responsibility while having a positive outlook, that is how you'll be perceived.

Just force yourself to think positively at the start. After a while, you'll believe it and things will go better for you which will reinforce it.

It is imperative that you at least dont dwell, beat yourself up, or pity yourself too much as that state of mind will eat you alive. If, at first you can't force yourself to view things in a hopeful light, than at least abstain from doing any of those.

Its not something that will come easy and for you it sounds like it may be harder than most but you have to police yourself.

women mate select for intelligence

>>9894320
They select for (among other things) social competence. And people who read a lot of fiction have a more finely tuned system of empathy. Fiction is all about seeing things from someone else's point of view.

>>9894320
Women select for status. Intelligence makes status, especially superficial one, easy. Charisma (even a facade; popularity) is obviously the fastest way to get women.
In addition to this, women are interested in wild men who they want to civilize.

>>9894338
It's not that simple. They aren't dating people over at /sci/; they're not dating the people at /pol/ who can triangulate a location based on flight patterns. It's not intelligence per se, it's a particular type of intelligence. More like people who cultivate culturally-valuable knowledge and tastes (or what they perceive to be culturally-valuable). More women are impressed by my ability to quote Ovid in Latin than by my ability to program, yet the latter skills took more effort and are a better showcase of my intelligence.

All that being said, looks and status are still what matter most. You have to pass a certain looks and status threshold before intelligence starts to matter.

>>9894371
I'm really not sure about that.
I'm poor and ugly but of relatively high IQ and i slay pussy.

>>9894383
I doubt that. Maybe you're poor, but ugly people don't slay pussy. They get occasional sex, but they don't have girls willing to drive 40 miles to give them a blowjob and swallow their seed, then drive back home the same night to cuddle with her boyfriend. That takes looks.

Men are the wild card of our species. We are produced for many roles, some are archaic and fall into obscurity (many proletariat roles), some are experimental and struggle finding their position which may or may not be around. Generally speaking women will flock to successful experiments. Hence why so few women are in top positions or go for new and uncertain territory as the pioneers.
There has always been a group of artists among us, and they tend to break certain patterns - especially simplified and nihilistic.

Truth is beautiful and sad.

>>9894449
Feminists hating the lock/key analogy when it comes to sexual double standards is a good demonstration of their complete dissociation from reality. Women select. That's their job. If an alien anthropologist from another galaxy came down to observe human mating habits, that'd be the first thing he'd point out. It's not even debatable, yet you're not allowed to say it in polite society.

But yeah, I agree. A woman's worth is inherent, while a man has to find a way to be either generally exceptional, or be lucky enough to fit a particularly valuable niche perfectly.

I'm really not a looker. acne, baby face, lanklet. poorer than anyone i know.

no offense to y'all but i really don't think you guys live in the real world sometimes. you're so insistent that it operates by strict rules and fail to imagine or consider the myriad exceptions, or that perhaps some of these rules come from narratives you've consumed. but you forget that women are complex people too and also want to escape these narratives. like jesus, fuckers on this website subscribe to the alpha/beta dichotomy so goddamn hard.

>Ugliness and mental retardation are not male monopolies.
It's true, but males have much more variety, even if it's in an unhealthy kind. In general women have much better health.
Also even not very beautiful and successful girls still want men much better than them and easily can get them due to nature of the sexes.

Girlfriend before last was really smart but never applied herself. Her hobbies: writing fan fiction; TV; and browsing Facebook. I used to give her movie/game/book recs and tried to get her into philosophy after she showed some interest but it was short-lived.

Did doing that add to the relationship? No. Do I regret acting like some e/lit/ist asshole and not just liking her for who she was? Yes.

Previous GF had even less in common with me. She never read; got excited about superhero movies; unironically liked Ed Sheeran; massive feminist. But after my previous experience, I just sort of put it aside. Ironically, though, it ended because she said I kept offended her tastes.

I think there's a trifecta of things important to a relationship:

1 - Common taste in things.
2 - Common values (ie family and towards society)
3 - A desire to be doing the same things in life.

Any 2 out of 3 will work together.

You're semi-chad. Women like tall men, it indicates dominance. Try getting by as a manlet.

>you just need to work on yourself and figure out how you can be more appealing.

This. Be interesting. If that means not sitting at home all the time reading then so be it.

Im 6'0 and this 5'10 guy i work for was like "what are you, like 6'4"?"

Really odd misestimstion. Wish women were that far off.

So you're tall, smart, and look young. And as a result you have an average sex life. Not really something to write home about.

>>9894985
the original claim you made was that one had to pass a certain threshold of looks in order for IQ or status to matter - my rebuttal is that i do not think i have crossed this threshold of looks yet still have above average sexual performance for my age, if conversations with peers and people on the internet is any indication. in other words, i think women are less shallow than you and many others seem to think they are, in that it is entirely possible to be rather ugly but still have sexual value and some place on the sexual hierarchy with decent IQ and charisma. I'm not sure why you think I'm trying to "write home" about anything.

Why is this board so lonely

>>9895061
It's impossible to have this conversation without knowing what you look like. You could be vastly underestimating your looks.

My idea of an attractiveness threshold isn't someone especially good-looking, it's simply someone who isn't ugly. My point was that unless you meet particular (modest) criteria when it comes to looks, women aren't going to give you the in you need to display your intelligence in the first place. Initial attraction is primarily physical. I don't think that you'd be able to fuck 4 women in a single day like you claim you could without at lest a some attractive physical characteristics.

Why?

>>9895101

Attractiveness isn't just about looks though. If you go into a bar/cafe/bookstore and start talking to a cute girl you'll always look more attractive because you're not being a passive sheep destined to wander the world living inside your own head. You're putting yourself out there.

Being confident (and not being a showy dick) is half what makes somebody attractive to the opposite sex.

No girls don't have to do it and it's easy to feel resentment but peeps gotta get over that.

My gf doesn't read much but is otherwise patrish. She destoys me in film, and we're roughly even in music. We're moving in together soon so I will get to see more film and she'll have access to my reasonably sized library, so perhaps we'll meet in the middle.

Honestly I wouldn't like to go out with someone who totally shared all interests with me or had exactly the same experiences with art as I did. I wouldn't then be able to share the things I love with that person, and I take a lot of joy in that.

What if he wants to lose it with someones special to him?
Why are you people so mean to anon anyway?
LEAVE ANON ALONEEE

My wife dont like reading, but occasionaly she reads something.
She is a fucking maniac over "V of Vendeta" (the comic, not the movie); Clockwork Orange (so am I, it was me who buyed the book that we "share"); and The Labyring, that book with has a movie with David Bowie in it.
Other than that, idk if she realy enjoys other things.

>>9890189
My girlfriend barely reads. She spends her free time watching videos on Facebook and YouTube. I resent the fact that she has zero interest in what I care about but, honestly, being able to completely disengage from one another and do our own things without fear of interruption is probably why we've lasted so long (4 years and counting).

>post-college
I couldn't afford college, which stunted my sex life. I'm going to be a 26 year old virgin soon, and the older you get the harder it is to lose.

>>9895495
If you are so desperate to lose it, why dont you talk to a Hooker or something?
I noticed that getting laid is easier than to get in a relacionship.

>I'm going to be a 26 year old virgin soon, and the older you get the harder it is to lose.

Yeah maybe when you're 50. Stop being an idiot.

>>9895508
I have a weird notion that my first time should be with someone who actually wants to fuck me through their own free will. If I fuck a hooker now, i'll never be able to not fuck hookers.

>>9895495
There's always online dating. It's a crapshoot but it's better than nothing... maybe.

>>9895513
I'm working on it man. It's not easy for someone like me. The problem is that, unlike college or high school, i'm not in an environment where everyone's my age and single.

>>9895522
Been on dates. It's lead nowhere. Women lose interest when they see me in person.

>>9890189
I met a girl who I started dating exclusively right away for a few weeks when she all of a sudden determined she was too busy to work to have time to see me. She was stressed out all the time over work and lived 40 minutes away so... maybe she was just telling the truth. Anyway. She reads a lot. She read A LOT. (so how are you too busy?)
Point being she was the only girl I've met who actually reads. She reads more than me. But now she's gone. And she was a real qt. Rip.

Yeah, I hope I didn't sound too insensitive. Good luck anon. I'm sure things will be excellent eventually.

Anyone with a rat's face can hardly be called a patrician
