She was just intrigued, the nature of women anon. From one thing to another in a split second, you learn pretty quickly in your teenage years how to talk to women, I was confused at first but even if it is the subject which she likes if you talk about it in your masculine complexified identifying -instead of relational- way she will just get bored. I'm not saying talk like a woman, talk like a man, but do it with things that come across well to her relations and so "oh wow that's so cool" response will come.

Sure you have to talk in respect to the context, but women very often have a "teehee" reply when you say something controversial and are honest- as long as you aren't ugly, short, un-charismatic or start talking about a point as if you were trying to convince her with "fax and logic".

Depends on the girl, just remember they're quickly changing so give them something to talk about. Be flirty, while not needing her and sometimes even talking as a friend does to her; have absolute clarity in what you are and want to talk about, but be relaxed; be mean and utterly dominant without being a jerk or immoral. You can act like a jerk sometimes, but it's generally wrong to.

Also what this anon said>>14871939

>>14871905
>Now, i dont even bother talking about high IQ topics with women
I dunno, sometimes it can really astound them. I remember some girl saying who had a maybe genuine interest in philosophy with the whole "it's the fundamental questions" shtick or talk, and she seemed even a little shy to talk about it -considering she was quite socially popular- and through a relatively short conversation I talked at and only a little above my guessed level of her understanding and it was just praise and amazement and respect and developed into an unwanted crush. But the point is that sometimes these complex things, if the right woman, can be very much appreciated by women but usually in respect to you as a person (relationally) and not the ideas themselves. Hell even normie stacie woman can be impressed by it if you just know the right way to say something, and what to say that is still intellectually complex. Of course you can't just run up to her at a bar and start yelling about Plato but we weren't talking about context.

>The girl sat peacefully on the bus one warm Friday morning. Reading one of Homer's much adored classics, she was trying to understand his use a certain koine Greek word relating to a question she faced in class yesterday. Just as she was about to reach a moment of clarity, she noticed something queer, a morbidly obese man shifted his entire body over to one side, in an attempt get out of his seat, and moved at a slow pace towards her with each step slightly shaking the bus off-balance. As he came closer a sound began to form and be audible, "Odyssey... th-thas tha Odassay," he muttered. "Umm yeah, the Odyssey part of my course in linguistics." "... t-tha Odassay ... is a classic." At this point she was unsure of man's intentions and began to move towards the window, as he crept forwards and soon sat himself next to her. The smell, she could not ignore it - his pong was comparable to that of a dead man. "H-hay, gurl... c-can i acqu- hayve youra numba?" Thus bus was now at her stop on the university grounds, 'the Kingdom of Heaven truly does exist' she thought to herself. As for the man's question, she replied sharply, "No" and left.

This mistake is so commonly made that there must be a reason for it. My suspicion is that the people who say it are used to posting on forums where there really is only one opinion on most topics and you aren't allowed to disagree with it, so they unironically get confused at the lack of consensus here and call it hypocrisy even though it's very obviously just different groups of people.

It provides insight into who you are in a second- you don’t have any actual hobbies or any interesting qualities so you feign intelligence, but everyone knows you can walk into any store on Earth and buy a copy of The Iliad. It’s also understood that if you were an actual literature buff you would mention something unique that you’ve read to continue the conversation instead of going with the most boring pretentious answer that presumably you only bought to fortify a superiority complex.

Terse and casual. Deflect back with your own questions. She didn't want to inquire after your inner life, she just wanted attention (validation). You should be able to remark on clothing or hair that's appealing without sounding like a faggot.

It's always the same, -- the question is the presence and judgement of jannies.

This is all sound. Follow the algorithm. It's really not hard. Practice on the butterfaces and the cougars and the milfs and the grannies -- it works on all of them.

This. Woman hate not being in a relationship. Serial monogamy is the norm with short turn around. Being single is a massive blow to social capital.

People have a hard time differentiating resentment from contempt. It's an easy cope to think people are making your vices their virtues.

Good assessment.

>You should be able to remark on clothing or hair that's appealing without sounding like a faggot.


If he's not interested in her and doesn't actually see anything appealing to her, why should he lie? It just encourages more interactions he doesn't want down the road.

>especially the Greeks
lol, this is where you went wrong bud. you overshared, and you also came off as pretentious. don't say "i enjoy literature" just say "i like to read" or something and then like ask her a question about herself it's not that hard to have a conversation with your coworker dude

You are a fucking retard if you think women give a shit about your hobbies, my guy.
If someone asks, you like books and that’s it. This fucking guy, OP, gave a literal /lit/ response outside of this Pakistani sewing enthusiast forum with his “the Greeks” nonsense.
The bottom line is you will never get that giggly response unless you were going to get it anyways. Hence, why fucking bother.
If, on the other hand, someone asked out of genuine curiosity, that’s something else entirely. But it hardly ever happens, let alone with women. They simply do not give a shit. And if they like you, you can fart and they’ll giggle anyways.
This isn’t one of those YA books you like so much, faggot. Nobody cares about a “controversial and honest” response. They are making small talk, you fucking autist.

Most women are just awkward about anything that isn't incredibly superficial. It's because they're terrified of embarrassment. You mentioned you're into something she has no ability to converse naturally about, so unless you took up the thread of the conversation and started confidently rambling about Greek literature and why you think it's awesome, she has nowhere to go conversationally with what you said. At that point, she can either embarrass herself conversationally, or can avoid embarrassment by turning and leaving.
Believe it or not, girls can think anything is cool if a cool guy is into it. The girls I fuck don't read or know shit about literature but they all think it's really cool that I'm into it.

the point is that if you act right girls can think whatever you're into is cool, and if you act like a sperg they'll think anything you're into is spergy.
