i dont know if the people posting these threads want a real answer, i always assumed it was just a meme, but heck i'll bite.

First: go on a long-form dating site and be honest with your interests. I met my wife of 6 years, as a early 30 neet with nothing to his name but an unwieldy home library, a failed business, and some debt, while she was from a wealthy (even aristocratic) Italian family, well employed and with a European literature/history degree.

Second: read on a wide range of subjects, including science, sociology, music, economics, etc, as well as, in the best humanist tradition, practice rhetoric as a social tool to amuse and engage. The ability to entertain, or to use small-talk, is the most underrated skill, that can get you almost anywhere. I say this as an otherwise shy reclusive man. Being able to fake confidence is almost better then having real confidence. Learning to talk without simply listing off memorialized facts – the most know-it-all, unattractive quality imaginable – is something gained through experience.

Third: memorize some poetry. The knack of deploying it is an art lost to time and is now something only gained through rough experience, that will at times leave you looking like a fool trying, but when done right, good concentrated language still has a power that modern ears find almost magical.

Forth: if you can, learn an extra language. Italian and french have served me well, and have not only expanded my dating pool , but have also given me an international and worldly air , that even today counts for quite a lot.

Filth: make notes. Read with a phone or a pencil on hand and save the anecdotes, aphorisms and observations that you think can be deployed in dally life. I have multiple pdf’s crammed with the stuff that I simply dip into whenever I expect a social occasion. Again, here only experience will help. A histrionic sensibility will help but even then giving your words a modern and natural sounding feel takes more effort that you’d think.

Sixth: Don’t be snob. Gain an appreciation for pop culture, or at least an understanding of it. Depending on your disposition, this is almost the hardest thing to do, but as it is something you will never escape, literature – criticism in particular – can make easier. Play video games, read some classic comic books or manga, watch some anime and youtube videos. This all culture, and unless you plan on larping as a Victorian gentlemen, which girls might quirky for a few weeks, it’s something you will have to engage in on some level.

You get get it, live a complete life. Don’t just read Evola or DFW or whatever fucking meme book lit has adopted this year. This is all the lit related – tangentially related – advice that is not just hit the gym, or watch your body language .

This is pretty good advice, but I've got a feeling too many people will LARP like this for 6 months and then expect to be swooned-over by end-game art hoe/library thot.
I think if anyone is going to commit to these points, it must be done over the course of a few years at the very least, at least so the refinement, charm and wit one is aiming for can be internalised. Otherwise it will always be a LARP in their mind and they will always feel like an imposter.

Also dating a "high quality women" involves a lot of (potential) compromises that most people browsing this site aren't prepared for. So you've got the cultured, intellectual, elegant and perhaps wealthy woman that you always wanted. But now she want's to go to the theatre, wine tasting or travelling every weekend but you want to sit around and shitpost on 4chan or play video games. Good luck with that. It's better to first be honest with yourself about whether you want to be a "high quality man" - whatever that means to you- in the first place.

Just go up to her next time and ask her about the book she's looking at. If she doesn't want to talk to you (even if just to be polite), then it is likely that she wouldn't have wanted to under any other circumstances; if she's rude than you will be knocked out of it and learn to avoid her lol; if you do talk then it will probably feel nice to have talked with another (pretty) human even if it's small talk and out of courtesy; if it goes further ask to go out for a coffee or something and discuss books. It's really not that hard to be honest, just calm down and don't take yourself (or her even) to seriously. c'est la vie.

I presume you define yourself as a high quality man, or at least you think it to yourself, although you may don't fill the critera of the standard handsome boy next door. Why so ? Because you value your own values and tastes, whatever (shit) they are. Keep reading your things and you may one day meet and attract someone as valuable as you, or at least open minded, thanks or not to your bookshelves. And if you are looking for a specific stereotypical type of women, then you are probably smart enough to guess what those projections want, as you want them to be that something.

Read a book that makes you lift weights, have a steady career, attend church, and be a reliable human being who people find trustworthy and honest. Also try to read books that will make you go out and socialize with others so you are in practice and won't seem like you have Asperger Syndrome when you finally meet a pretty, high quality woman that you want to charm.

Other than that, I once got a date with a girl because I saw she was reading Anna Karenina and I told her that one of my favorite similes in any book is in Anna Karenina (and then I showed it to her of course). I also had to actually ask her out after that she didn't just throw herself at me.

It had nothing to do with the actual book you derps it's the fact that he was passionate about something (it can be anything) and Women love this because they then assume that you can be as passionate about them as you were said subject. I say 'were' here because that's all it applies to, they'll probably want you to put less emphasis on whatever the subject was later once your attention is fully on them instead.

Kek, I once thought like this, until I realized the whole thing was the other way around. I didn't appreciate white women, so that's why I didn't get them. She doesn't have the attraction what it takes for me to put the effort to get her. The shame they try to put you through is a psychological cope that the blame is not in women and their worthlessness, but that the men are somehow wrong. The white nordic man is the most valued man on the planet, no matter where they go, and they are being terrorized and blamed at their home country. Just get out from there for a while, and you will find out your real value, and how spoiled and undeserving the women at your home country are.

I don't even know who that is, and to be honest if I want to read poetry I'd much rather read Leopardi or Montale

Yes, Schopenhauer did indeed say this, that is true. But Schopenhauer didn't post this with a 777, so we can't tell whether or not his statement holds.

Well, today I learned something new at least; also I probably enjoy Italian and German poetry more simply because I'm more accustomed with the language
