>Sure. It's been hopeless for a long time, from the very beginning. You will never represent, Raphael, a young girl's erotic dream. You have to resign yourself; such things are not for you. It's already too late, in any case. The sexual failure you've known since your adolescence, Raphael, the frustration that has followed you since the age of thirteen, they'll leave in you an indelible mark. Even supposing that you might have women in the future -- which in all frankness I doubt -- it will not be enough; nothing will ever be enough. You will always be an orphan to those adolescent loves you never knew. In you the wound is already deep; it will get deeper and deeper. An atrocious, unremitting bitterness will end up gripping your heart. For you there will be neither redemption nor deliverance. That's how it is.

Where did this idea of "its better to avoid intimacy even though its painful than get close and hurt because its even more painful" come from?

Have you ever met someone who has read countless philosophers, thinkers, essayists and so on, but every time they open their mouths it feels like they have absolutely no depth of thought, that they always resort to clichés and can only make trivial observations about things? What's going on there, how can you absorb so much material designed to frame and challenge our ways of thinking but come out unscathed by any of it.

Lately, I have been trying to discuss more philosophical topics and such with women. Yet the more women I talk to, the less I understand why women tend to reject or even ignore things that are not to their own liking. Blaming things as mansplaining, misinterpretation of data, ignorance, or the lack of evidence even when presented with evidence.

Is there a deeper meaning to this? Perhaps a philosophical differentiation from man and woman? Is the way we recognize facts, when not in our favor, somehow processed differently?

A very common, as well as one I heard recently, the phrase is thrown around is, "you don't understand it, you are not a woman." And that is fair enough, I am not a woman. But I find this to be counterproductive to arguments and rely too much on the vagueness of feelings. If you cannot use your own words, you yourself do not fully understand even your own argument. Yet even that simple retort causes a bit of disdain or even heckling from women I talk too.

What do you think anons?

You need to feel LOVED by a woman. Hookers can't do shit it equal to masturbation.

Traditionalism is huge cope, a last effort to pretend that there is any meaning in life. The only thing that matters is being attractive enough so that you can sustain hedonism throughout your entire life. The blackpill is the end of philosophy.

I wonder if people saw it as an utopia when the book was released?
I think the majority of people today think it's paradise, and that just shows that he accurately predicted the end of the west.

Seriously is there any other author that deals with inceldom? I've read Whatever and it pretty much summarizes all thoughts that circulates on the incels forums but 20 years earlier.

Whatever by Michel Houellbecq.

If you want to focus on the change in the sexual market and inceldom I'd suggest Whatever by Michel Houellebecq.

What if there are no gods and you live a good life? I don't particularly like his answer "a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones" Why should I care what people think of me when I'm dead? Is there any benefit to living a good life if there are no gods? There might be an answer but Aurelius gives none.

Any literature about inceldom or coping with a life without romance, I already know about Houellebecq.

When it comes books many people seem to like to read books that relate to their struggles.
What are your problems and what common problems are you devoid of? Mine are:
>loneliness
Have no friends where I currently live so I'm alone and have no one to talk to irl.
>lack of romance
"tfw no gf" the struggle that seems to overflow here, probably my biggest problem as it plagues me all the time.
>boredom
I'm bored a lot and sometimes very depressed.

Now fortunately I don't have these problems:
>parental complexes
My parents aren't divorced and have been quite nice to me.
>fear of death
Since I was a kid I have accepted death and never been afraid of it.
So any books that has a strong theme of parental problems or death anxiety are useless to me while books about loneliness are great.
