Where can I find girls who read?

[Anonymous No.6756921]

typical boy, using something to get close to women. whereas women use it to get away from boys. get rekt by your own species

>romanticizing intelligent women
they don't exist anon, the ones that do read read garbage. Women are generally stupid as hell and gain no insight from the few books they do read.

I'm a postdoc in in the Humanities and I'm 100% convinced women actually have no souls. They are not capable of anything that can be called literature or philosophy, except in instances so vanishingly rare that they can be better explained by freak accident or sheer imitation.

It freaks me out. Having to work with them and watch them try to create things is like starring on a cooking show alongside a dog, and the dog just barks and breaks shit, but everyone claps as if he's cooking too. It's just a dog. It's not cooking. It's not doing anything. But everyone is clapping, so you clap too, because you don't want to be the one to say it.

>Your own species
Is this a new epic maymay?

Also, OP obviously reads because he enjoys reading, and wants to find a female to enjoy reading with. He's not using it to be closer to women, he just wants to be closer to women that share his interests.

If the only reason women read is to get away from boys, then that's just really sad.

I don't see how you could logically derive this from his statement. It would make sense if he had said something along the lines of "What should I read to impress women?", but instead, he appears to be looking for girls that have similar interests to him.

Women don't read any good literature. It's even worse if you like poetry, though, never in my life have I met any girl who liked verse or had at least read any poem besides the one they make you read at school and very famous, entry-level ones.

I'm a girl, I read. I lurk on here and sometimes post if I find something that's interesting but I don't say that I'm a girl when I do.

I like Wittgenstein, Anne Carson, Michael Earl Craig, DeLilo (I'm just looking at my shelf reading off what's on it.)

I usually just fuck girls or remain alone because of this type of behavior from men. Plenty of you think all women are stupid and you drool over high school reading list shit, Camus, and DFW.

Maybe you don't meet girls who read because you're insufferable.

Those are all qt.

If you're a girl and you're reading this right now: Nothing you could ever do will be even a hundredth as interesting to me, intuitively, as the fact that you are qt.

If you cured cancer and we met in the street I wouldn't be like, "who that's the broad who cured cancer!" I'd be like "holy shit, I would like to eat that woman's ass! Also she cured cancer or something."

My best friend in the entire world had one of the most life-changing experiences of his entire existence this week, and my interest in it registered maybe a 30. That's exceptionally high, because he's my best friend, and because it was an especially interesting thing that happened to him. 30 points of Interest is a big deal and rarely happens. By comparison, just the fact that you have boobs instantly makes everything you say register at least 40-50 Interest points.

If you are reading this post I literally want to BE your panties. On some level of my brain that isn't even a joke. I'd do it.

A LONG TIME AGO PEOPLE DECIDED TO LIVE IN AMERICA

I’m wandering along, thinking about how I’d like to get laid by somebody new. It’s a cold winter afternoon and just another thought, almost out of my mind when—

A tall, God-I-love the tall-ones girl comes walking up the street, casual as a young animal with Levi’s on. She must be 5-9, wearing a blue sweater. Her breasts are loose beneath it and move in firm youthful tide.

She has no shoes on.

She’s a hippie girl.

Her hair is long.

She doesn’t know how pretty she is. I like that. It always turns me on, which isn’t very hard to do right now because I’m already thinking about girls.

Then as we pass each other she turns toward me, a thing totally unexpected and she says, “Don’t I know you?”

Wow! She is standing beside me now: She’s really tall!

I look closely at her. I try to see if I know her. Maybe she’s a former lover or somebody else I’ve met or made a pass at when I’ve been drunk. I look carefully at her and she is beautiful in a fresh young way. She has the nicest blue eyes, but I don’t recognize her.

“I know I’ve seen you before,” she says, looking up into my face. “What’s your name?”

“Clarence.”

“Clarence?”

“Yeah, Clarence.”

“Oh, then I don’t know you,” she says.

That was kind of fast.

Her feet are cold on the pavement and she’s hunched in a cold-like way toward me.

“What is your name?” I ask, maybe I’m going to make a pass at her. That’s what I should be doing right now. Actually, I’m about thirty seconds late in doing it.

“Willow Woman,” she says. “I’m trying to get out to the Haight-Ashbury. I just got into town from Spokane.”

“I wouldn’t,” I say. “It’s very bad out there.”

“I have friends in the Haight-Ashbury,” she says.

“It’s a bad place,” I say.

She shrugs her shoulders and looks helplessly down at her feet. Then she looks up and her eyes have a friendly wounded expression in them.

“This is all I have,” she says.

(Meaning what she is wearing.)

“And what’s in my pocket,” she says.

(Her eyes glance furtively toward the left rear pocket of her Levi’s.)

“My friends will help me out when I get there,” she says.

(Glancing in the direction of the Haight-Ashbury three miles away.)

Suddenly she has become awkward. She doesn’t know exactly what to do. She has taken two steps backward. They are in the direction of going up the street.

“I … ,” she says.

“I … ."looking down at her cold feet again.

She takes another half-step backward.

“I.”

"I don’t want to whine,” she says.

She’s really disgusted with what’s happening now. She’s ready to leave. It didn’t work out the way she wanted.

“Let me help you,” I say.

I reach into my pocket.

She steps toward me, instantly relieved as if a miracle has happened.

I give her a dollar, having totally lost somewhere the thread of making a pass at her, which I had planned on doing.

She can’t believe it’s a dollar and throws her arms around me and kisses me on the cheek. Her body is warm, friendly and giving.

We could make a nice scene together. I could say the words that would cause it to be, but I don’t say anything because I’ve lost the thread of making a pass at her and don’t know where it’s gone, and she departs beautifully toward all the people that she will ever meet, at best I will turn out to be a phantom memory, and all the lives that she will live.

We’ve finished living this one together.

She’s gone.

I'm really sorry you're miserable. Please don't project this onto women, though. I know plenty women who read philosophy, scientific papers and good fiction. More than men probably.

Most of this world doesn't care for anything but bestsellers, there is no distinction to be made between women and men. Unless you have a source beyond pityful anecdotal evicence you should hush.

>>6756914

There are no places where the female intelligenzia is assembles every week, atleast that I know of. You of all should know best that people with a passion like yours tend to keep it to themselves.

The only way to find a girlfriend with similiar interests is to be more perceptive and more engaging. Most people read at home, if you want to find a girl with good taste in literature then talk to a lot of girls who read. It's as simple as that.
