This. They only care about social media. Never met a woman in my age group(I'm mid 20s), who enjoys reading classic literature like I do. Even if they claim to like literature than it'll be YA shit and you know for a fact they only like it since something like Netflix is adapting it or a movie trilogy is popular.

Every men and their sperm read philosophy athat that age for some reason.

I guess is like the advanced phase of rebellious question everything, like advanced edginess. Not like as I wanna be edgy but more the thing that drove the edgy phase in the mid-early teens.

Fucking chad.

The way he is depicted in the meme is some kind of Dionysian daemon. Like a ritualistic horror, whose legs are turned in precisely 180 degrees, just so his bulge is accentuated. In a twist, darkened view of the world, I can imagine a scenario in which Chad unfurls his tongue and proceeds to bellow tongues and whirl a daemonic dervish. He is the pinnacle of your hopes and dreams. But existentially, you will not have them. You cannot. You are not Chad. Chad is never you.

Sociologically this is the implied function of Chad. Every Chad you see is an expression of your wills own weakness. In order to defeat the bourgeoisie Chad must be defeated in your own mind before you face your woman. Having read this, you will know now that your woman is thinking of Chad already, before she's met him. She is already contemplating sucking the blonde hair off his balls.

Shut up, you fucking roastie sluts.
Straight away making things either implicitly or explicitly about sexuality.
I have a girlfriend, grew up with many girls in my family of different age groups, and had and still have multiple female friends.
By knowing all these women I can say with certainty that women simply do not express the same desire or pursuit of knowledge and understanding that men do, particularly in their 20s.
Put women on their own around a table and let them talk, and they'll always start talking about rumours, gossip and hearsay.
Put men on their own around a table and let them talk, and they'll always start talking about politics, history and business.

The only women I know who read good shit are married to my friends. I talk to one about Joyce, Alexander Theroux, and poetry all the time. She's well read and I can pretty much talk to her about any author and she'll at least know something . Another's favorites are Ellis, Atwood, and K. Dick, she reads a lot of poetry too.

No, Chad doesn't represent the mature, healthy man who's achieved equilibrium. He's the hypermasculine cunt that misuses his sex appeal to fuck other people's women. You don't want to be that, it's all the more difficult for Chad to find real love because of his gifts and the temptations that arise from them.

Also, you can't simply become Chad, it will never be as natural for you as it is for him.

Wrong.
Chad is an idea shaped by you. The more balanced and mature you are, more Chad is a kind, respectable, confident, competent [...] guy.
On the other hand if you're a fucking virgin you see Chad as an irresponsible, shallow, stupid asshole and at the same time you envy his charisma, skill and personality

Not every successful man is a Chad and not every Chad has to be a total douchebag but when someone mentions Chad as a meme they're usually reffering specifically to the "irresponsible, shallow, stupid asshole".
