Why are women so vastly more well-read and better educated than men nowadays...

then why can't i get a gf at my college

really hope she started with the greeks

Cultured and a qt I'm in

>are men obsolete now

You are evil to say that, everyone is valuable simply for being alive you fool. But I know you don't mean it when you say it.

Who's this cutie?

I'm going to say something that is probably complete bullshit, but whatever.

In the past, it was really, really easy to find a wife and marry her, if you were a man. Whether upper class or lower class, king or peasant, you stood a very, very good chance of marrying. What did this mean? It meant guaranteed pussy. It meant men didn't need to hunt and strive for pussy, they could just go home to it every day. And when the basic sexual needs of a man are automatically, unthinkingly met, he suddenly has a lot of time and energy that he doesn't need to devote to the task of getting pussy.

What does a man do with this time and energy? Some of them fritter it away, true. However, many of them spent their time learning and studying and competing and generally bettering themselves. Men strike me as horny creatures by nature, easily led by the promise of sex. But if the sex is automatic, then suddenly that's a huge thing men don't need to worry about any more, and, with so much time and energy free, more of them are able to advance.

Now, the counter-argument to this is that many truly great men of history did without pussy. Aquinas, Nietzsche, Proust, etc., all of them didn't have any need to have sex. But I think the ability to function without questing after pussy is the hallmark of the truly great, the nearly superhuman. Those men are truly amazing. But they're also very rare.

The rest of us? We need pussy. And nowadays it's no longer automatic. So, just as in the days of hunting and gathering, men need to waste huge amounts of time and energy securing sex. And this takes away from the time that could be used to read and learn and better themselves.

Like I said, this is probably bullshit.

What are you trying to say? Women read more books than men, this is empirically true. Men account for only 20 percent of the fiction market.

>ugly
>don't approach them
>autistic
Take your pick brother.

i think by 'museum' she meant 'the park' or something like that, implying other humans are the exhibit, or maybe nature.

>their biological niche is being overtaken by capital
Are you trying to sound scary? What does that even mean?

Due to technology and capital the things that men excel at are becoming defunct. Men are going to become cucked by machines. Just look at the recent news about declining sperm count in the western world.

Get Landed son.

See: It is neither that male or female is obsolete as a sex, but that man as a race has outpaced his ability to reason with his insatiable drive to innovate. He has unknowingly swallowed his own soul, and any meaning that may have once existed will slowly float away from this earth like so many toy balloons.

Because men were traditionally expected to be breadwinners so they went into "practical" degree programs or the skilled trades. The main reason girls went to college was to find a good husband.

Aquinas had to chase out a prostitute with a firebrand for the sake of his own chastity. Nietzsche... the erotic world permeates him. Proust, a chronic masturbator of pederastic impulse. These were not sexless eunuchs. Perhaps they overcame, perhaps they sublimated their quivering passion in writing. But they were densely sexual beings - save perhaps for Aquinas.

becus evolution is telling you something

all three desu

read some anthropology kid

What you actually said was
>men are primarily concerned with non-fiction

Men are more likely to read non-fiction, yet they still read less overall.

I'm sure the future will be female with young educated women like her at the head.

>Women are generally biologically smarter by a small margin.
Average IQ is the same between men and women. The one major difference is that men are slightly better represented in the extremes (both the high and low end) of the bell curve, while women tend to me more situated in the middle.

>swn be your gf

Have you been on goodreads? It's all women, and all garbage. The few people with decent taste are either men, or non-Western women.

Yes we all know women finance the YA market. Reading 1000 YA "novels" won't produce greater intellect than studying a single academic textbook for your profession of choice. The point however was to emphasize your Snapple fact hoodwink. Dean Koontz won't get you any further in life than not reading at all.

Reading brain rotting garbage does not count, next you are going to tell me women are better educated because they all have gender degrees right?

Men are more concerned with technical knowledge than they are with cultural knowledge. Most readers of literary fiction might be women, but most scientists and engineers are men. It's just a different conception of what constitutes smart. Men are more practical and results-oriented.

Fuckin cucks

I think men are failing to due videogames and masturbation more than anything else. Why bother doing anything when your male need for accomplishment can be satisfied by videogames, and your male need for sex can be satisfied by pornography?

Ah, one of the favorite hobbies of young men who read, looking down upon and belittling women's taste in art.

Imagine a basic and irrefutable observation triggering someone this hard

This is a load of fucking horseshit. In the middle ages, 25% of women in Europe never married. They were nuns or spinsters.
That fact, along with the fact most women didn't marry until around 24, is called the "European marriage pattern".

If 25% of all women are not getting married, what the fuck are 25% of the men doing?

I think you and are engaged in a chicken-and-egg scenario. Are men “dropping out” of society to play video games and jerk off because 20% of men get 80% of the pussy, or do 20% of the men get 80% of the pussy because femal sexual liberation allows women to ignore the majority of men, who play video games and jerk off?

He got it from an article on Jacobite. That line specifically is from the subheader used to advertise the article.

>If 25% of all women are not getting married, what the fuck are 25% of the men doing?
Dying in battle. There's a reason the middle ages were so bloody: lots of sexually frustrated men.

>majority of men
>playing video games and jerking off
You should really lay off /v/, user. Most guys work out and are well-adjusted, productive members of society.

Yeah sure buddy the average peasant was dying in battle
Except that's fucking wrong, and you're not even the guy I was responding to because his argument was that men WEREN'T sexually frustrated- "they all had wives"

well how are you supposed to just randomly approach people then?

The issue is that there's no incentive for participating in society for most men. Either you're physically attractive and you already get all the pussy you want, so you don't bother with your career (this is what my chad brother is doing), or you're too ugly to get laid and you don't participate out of resentment. If i'm not gonna get married and have children, i'd rather just read alone in a tiny apartment until I die.

If you're autistic and ugly, approaching women is literally harassment

>walk up to person
>say hi
>introduce yourself
wow so hard

>Most guys work out and are well-adjusted, productive members of society.
>Most
That is not true. Maybe 20 percent of guys, at most, go to the gym.

All young men play video games and masturbate.

Stop being autistic and ugly.

What if you're so ugly they just ignore you or mouth "hi" while walking away?

According to Pew Research, 60% of men between 18-29 play video games “often” or “sometimes”. Narrow that down to college age (say, 18-24) and it’s probably even higher.

Lose weight or invest in plastic surgery.

Yes, by every standard women are better educated than men.

I mean I'm autistic and very ugly- I wouldn't want autistic and ugly women approaching me. I understand completely why a girl would feel offended if I approached her

Hopefully one day i'll become wealthy enough to afford plastic surgery

I really like this idea, it's an inversion of the intuitive idea of repression/sublimation driving great works...

I feel like this is true, or I at least appreciate the idea. Hard to put it into words. But thanks for sharing, anyway.

Alright Brenda. Go finish your shift at Mcdonalds while you struggle to find a real job.

That's impermissible where I live, to just go up to people and start talking to them without any justification. I need another answer.

Women are better suited for most post industrial labor, and their progress in the education system only reflects this.

Well, where do you live?

You're ignoring the presence of prostitution, which was ubiquitous in the middle ages.

Women are the ultimate subjects in the postfordian liberal managerial society of control.

Why does this sound so much like the same arguments for UBI? Complete with the “your basic needs are met so you can focus on becoming a better person” line of argument. Are we ignoring the fact that many of the greatest accomplishments of history were motivated by promise or lack of or desire for pussy?

This. The highest growing economic sectors, mostly care and service jobs, disproportionately benefit a female skill set. What to do with isolated and deracinated men is going to be a major political issue like 15-20 years from now.

how have you not killed yourself yet?

North america is about to be drowned in a tide of incel hyperviolence

You're a fucking pussy if you can't even approach a woman in America, of all places. Lol.

So was the past. Men felt and wrote about the emotions. Women read interpreted and manipulated the emotions

I am, slowly. You don't know how much I drink

>implying anything interesting is going to happen

Trips of rudeness.

Go get dinner ready. And finger yourself.

>You're a fucking pussy if you can't even approach a woman in America
>America, the birthplace of fartrape and manspreading
Makes sense

This. Modern men are too soft.

>implying anything interesting is not going to happen

Women have, on average, a slightly higher verbal IQ you mean (~2 points), but they also have a significantly lower spatial IQ (~6 points) and mathematical IQ (~4 points) so on balance men are actually smarter than women by around a third of a standard deviation. The more you know.

Something interesting could happen, but with a saturation of voyeuristic violence the interesting will have to either be the completely unexpected, or the apocalyptic. It has nothing to do with being soft. Hardness can express itself in many ways. A Basement dweller can consider themselves soft. And in a country flooded with guns you don't need to be hard.

>Average IQ is the same between men and women.
Not true.
>men are slightly better represented in the extremes (both the high and low end) of the bell curve
This is true.

>no longer automatic
the fuck are you on about nigger?
women give up pussy and their asshole the minute you throw money at them

>using IQ to measure natural intelligence

>In the past, it was really, really easy to find a wife and marry her, if you were a man.
This is so not true. In fact, it was even harder. Only 40% of the men that have ever lived have descendants living today. Comparatively, 80% of all the women that have ever lived have descendants today.

or you could just lose weight

I'm physically fit. Just short and ugly.

women as a group are currently the most pathetic and insipid they've been in the past 200 or so years, and this prevalence is only becoming worse with each passing day thanks to social media completely superannuating the concept of developing meaningful relationships through self-cultivation and mutuality.

if they read "more" than men they're just reading YA/romance dogshit or for the sole purpose of appearing educated online. it's actually so painfully fucking clear after reading her feed for two minutes that the bitch you posted is a dumb retard with the typical quirky depressed ironic meme shitposter personality that the whole emo and scene thing from 10 years ago has evolved into. she's not reading deleuze, she's going to point her eyes at the words that he wrote and maybe memorize some vague sounding selections so she can post them on social media and casually flaunt how cultured and intelligent she is to get attention from autistic virgins while taking away nothing from the text itself.

in just about EVERY single medium be it music, painting, literature, etc. the "mainstream" body of work put out by women has taken a sharp, sharp fucking decline in the past 30-40 years. you can pick out exceptions all you want, the ones that are most frequently championed nowadays are much more vapid than those from the past. it's such an insane cultural shift that it being ignored or even welcomed makes me want to rip my eyeballs out.

i'm a pretty left leaning guy, too. i want to support women as much as my fellow humans in general but not when the entirety of modern feminism is just "let us be retards and continue to promote being retarded and don't you dare judge us for it you patriarchal piece of shit!!!!" to be fair this sort of thing is currently materializing in all groups from left wing, right wing, those that are apolitical entirely, but nowhere is it more pronounced and devastating than it is in the average modern female.

Ugliness is usually a combination of several factors; bad hairstyle, bad clothing, and bad grooming habits in general to fit your body. It's not too hard to look a bit better and it does wonders. But with the height issue you're kind of fucked.

The height issue is why i'm alone. My 6' brother looks like me and gets pussy all the time. There's not much I can do about it.

bojack horseman is pretty kino for a show with majority female writing staff

How tall are you?

Among men who are physically fit, I believe that, barring serious and blatant facial defects, a good haircut + groomed face + decent wardrobe can make any man into at least a 7/10. You don’t have to look like Ryan Gosling - women will be interested in a well-groomed, fit man who exudes confidence.

Confidence and height are my biggest drawbacks. I'm not super short, but I'm only like 5'8 so it doesn't help.

Bullshit. The vast majority of men never reproduced, neither in the animal kingdom, nor in human tribal formations.

The amount of men able to reproduce today is at a historical high due to monogamous practices and rule of law.

5'6" borderline midget. I live in a midwestern neighborhood full of old Dutch and Swedish immigrants too, so even the women are taller than I am

girls still like the 5'8" if you have the 6"
