Did Veeky Forums ever break up with a gf because she could not appreciate literature? Not liking something because it is 'too dark' or 'depressing' is the mark of an infantile mind, and definite proof there is no future together.
>t. dumped gf because she didn't understand The Idiot
Stop being retarded.
Girlfriends aren't supposed to be your friends.
No girl has ever liked me
I don't like me either
>Dumped gf over disagreement on shit author
Good job retard
>dumped gf because she didn't understand The Idiot
She understands now
you are The Idiot
never dumped anyone for not knowing about literature, but have been dumped for being an asshole about her not knowing about literature and shitting on her shit taste
Did she dislike literature in general or only "depressing" stuff? Some people can be intensely affected by heavy lit/movies/etc.. It can be a marker of empathy. It doesn't necessarily imply a general lack of sophistication. There's plenty of great literature that's deep but not dark.
I dumped a guy I was dating (not quite at the bf level) because he said his favourite book was the novelisation of Assassin's Creed.
I guess that makes you
>The Idiot
Girlfriend should approve of and support your interests, but not necessarily understand them. It is nice when you can discuss things with her, but, as far as my experience goes, women who can grasp complex/abstract/dark concepts also tend to be fucked in the head to some extent. A slightly dumb one is usually better suited for long lasting relationship.
>his favourite book was the novelisation of Assassin's Creed.
whew
I was once dumped by a Veeky Forums poseur for calling him on his bullshit when quizzed on books like Crime and Punishment (apparently his favourite) and The Iliad ("like, the best poem ever written"). He didn't like that I'd actually read them and pointed out that he clearly hadn't.
I've, for the sake of actually having friends, put up with the fact that all my friends like YA and Harry Potter, but what I'd put up with in a friend I can't tolerate in an intimate partner. Besides, Assassin's Creed books?
Women just don't understand.
>Women just don't understand.
Or I have taste. His favourite game was Assassin's Creed 3. Not just in the series, but of all time.
Post books full of made up stories about things that never happened
>broke up
i don't think you could really classify our interactions with ontilogicool as dating
Hahahaha, same thing happened to me except his favorite book was the Bioshock novelizations
:(
Define fucked up in the head. Because I don't think I am, but much like madness, I wouldn't, would I?
lol git gud anonette
they both sound like turds ladies. you're better off. hope you didn't wiggle their dingdongs too many times.
Yeah. Dumped a cute asian girl for not knowing who Chekhov was.
>they both sound like turds ladies. you're better off. hope you didn't wiggle their dingdongs too many times.
Why would I sleep with someone I'd only been on a handfull of dates with?
My thoughts exactly, I wait until I can be reasonably sure I've screened stuff like that out
I got dumped for liking books, but the guy was tipping seriously into /pol/ by the time we did break up. Apparently women shouldn't read or something, we should be kitchen slaves or breeders. The guy became pretty unhinged towards the end.
I didn't mean to suggest anything, just that's been my experience: by date 3, things are usually happening between me and the girls I've dated. Actually the most ostentatiously literary girl I've ever been with invited me to stay over on our first date. That didn't last; she was school-focused and weirdly immature. Even more than me.
i like you
This was 4 dates in, we'd made out but that was it. I like to vet potential bfs quite well before I have sex with them.
Well I don't like you
my nigga ice cold!
>dumped my gf because she didn’t agree with my interpretation of a complex work
sad
Oh I'm not offended. I'm bioshock anonette and I had only been on a couple dates him, so in my case at least he wasn't really an "almost bf." I do feel like I need to establish a degree of trust before sleeping with anyone though. Sometimes that comes quickly but if it doesn't I'll feel awful if I try to force myself to rush into it.
Imposter! What a random medium, run with it I guess I was to slow
you're incoherent.
The amount of girls on this board still shocks me
Do girls even shitpost?
i like you user. we out here befriending the friendless dig.
Can women shitpost as well as men?
No, they just turn into Amy Schumer.
>muh vagina lol amirite
No. The male brain has been honed by millions of years of evolution into a well-oiled shitposting machine
Shitposting is a new phenomenon roastie whore, you're thinking of wit.
;)
I once got irrationally frustrated at my ex for not being able to have a decent discussion about her favorite book: 'Notes from the underground'.
I don't have anyone, outside of Veeky Forums, to talk about literature.
I didn't think that people actually pretended to have an understanding of books they haven't read, outside of the internet.
>I didn't think that people actually pretended to have an understanding of books they haven't read, outside of the internet.
This guy was a truely pretentious man. I regret the five months I wasted on him,
I mean extreme mood swings, anxiety, various insecurities. And that is not the usual femine emotional instability. Those things torture her so much, that coexistence becomes unbearable. Also, they tend to be disgusted with family life and being a housewife. I can relate to this, since greater intellect spawns greater urges. But how am I supposed to live with a woman which does not want to settle down at least in some distant future.
Random user pretended to be my user (me)
I don't have moodswings, anxiety (except for hypochondria) or insecurities. Nor am I a tortured soul, just because of reading literature and philosophy. But You're right, I don't want to be a housewife. I want a 50/50 relationship (which my parents had, and they're the only ones of their friends still happily together). I do want children.
who cares
So, did you meet him though this site? Relationships starting from Veeky Forums is something I also didn't think happened.
I'll make you care, take this (you) and I'll take you're precious time
No, I met him at university. I'm not stupid, why would I meet a random person from a site known to dislike women and talk about raping and murdering them regularly, in real life?
I like this answer and I've told myself this a number of times now when I perceive what at first strikes me as shortcomings. My gf does not enjoy reading solo, but she is happy for me to read to her. On any other vaguely intellectual pursuits I'm into that she's not, I remind myself that I can make friends for those to satisfy those aspects of my personality.
You calling him 'a Veeky Forums poseur' confused me
If the girl is under 22, her brain is nowhere near developed and still has tons of neuroplasticity.
If you're intelligent--a lot more intelligent than she is--have good sense of psychology, there are genuine strong emotions involved, you can basically condition a girl.
She is so malleable and you can plant new neural pathways everyday.
If you take a young girl, the younger the better, she is in love with you, you're manipulative enough to keep that honeymoon phase from fading too much, you can essentially program your ideal life-partner over a year or two.
It's much better to program a work in progress than hunting for the 'right one'.
Apologies, didn't know how to describe it. I asked him about it, and he was shocked- so he didn't post here.
No. Youre a retard bro
Can't you do that with men though? Seeing as men's brains aren't developed till 23?
Girls are for cooking, dancing, singing, laughing, and raising children.
Adding anything to this trinity shows how retarded you are.
Get?
I suppose sex is out of the question?
This makes me sad. The kinds of men who like the same things as me (books etc.) think like this.
You've never actually met a girl with some mental strength, have you? My ex gf was younger than me (by 4 years, we met when she was 16) and broke up with me specifically because I changed into something she didn't like.
These kinds of men also live in another dimension with 5-node trinities, I wouldn't worry
this x 1000
What does it look like when a girl is fucked in the head?
>Lists five things
>"Trinity"
Yes, you're someone who's opinion I'll take seriously.
My photo diary desu
That comment expresses such an antiquated view that I can't take it seriously, this one bums me out though
I'm a gurl btw
don't worry, not all of them do
Girls are supposed to be dumb, it's cute.
Expecting things like good taste from a woman is expecting your dog to play chess with you. You're approaching the subject entirely the wrong way and therefore missing out on all the joys it can bring you if you would just stop wishing for it to be something it's not.
Girls are cute and sometimes useful, sexy pets. Mastering this outlook is the foundation of successful heterosexual relationships.
girls who read always want you to beat the shit out of them for some reason
holy fuck why are you white knighting on an ANONYMOUS IMAGEBOARD
Noooo I hate that
Still haven't recovered from the cognitive dissonance last time that happened
Not liking someone because he doesn't have the same tastes as you is the mark of an infantile mind.
I was dumped because she didn't love me anymore.
Since then I've been reading less and less.
well i believe that dosto can be overwhelming for many people... but no dude, its just a matter of taste you cant just break up because she doesnt like the same books as you, its like videogames... one doest break up with their gf because she doesnt like videogames... matter of taste; women just simply like more novels like jane austen or emily brönte and thats ok...
If a specific set of ideas motivates your life and informs your actions to a large extent, you should almost certainly share it with your lover.
It's not at all unreasonable for couples to split up over religious views, political temperment etc.
If one person believes in ghosts and the other doesn't, there will be problems. If one person loves to read passionately and loves to engage ideas seriously, then it will be a problem if the other doesn't.
A musician doesn't have to marry a musician. But a musician's spouse had better at least love music.
At some point it stops being a matter of "taste."
If I love Tolstoy and Dickens, and my girlfriend loves Ayn Rand, it will not be long before we have problems.
>implying I ever had a gf to break up with
Normies get off my Veeky Forums reee
Underrated as fuck
No. I don't want my girlfriend to be interested in books at all.
Of course it isnt just a matter of tastes, we bond with the books that we like the most because we feel really alike to the characters, their lifes are a small mirror to our own lifes, but your life its really different than your gf; we feel really special when we bond with others that read the same because we feel alike and we feel less lonely; just dont stare at the differences, look at the common things... but if you really dont have anything in common maybe this was only the catalyst to the break up, maybe you just need a good reason to break up but you dont find it... isnt it?
Take a little bit of my experience... i broke up with my ex not because she didnt liked crime and punishment or because she was really naive. She could understand me and that was ok, i didnt wanted two depressed and hollow beings in the same house i broke up with her because she could handle my swag (jkd) because she saw a nuisance in a trait that i found it was some kind of core value... something i hate of women its the will to change somebody and maybe im some kind of stalwart man. Welp life sucks just enjoy all the good times
>she is happy for me to read to her.
You're dating an 8 year old?
i just wanna talk to a girl detsu i see them all the time when i go outside but i never get to know them everyone here has stories but not me girls never talk to me and i have so much to talk about i read about everything i even read about pretty girls sometimes
I am the same friend. You are not alone.
I like you too user :)
be my waife
Are there any girls actually into literature? What do the normal ones think of it as a hobby?
>Never have deep, meaningful relationships because am an Asperger
>See others throw away relations for stupid fucking reasons
Ew, no! And they don't burp either!
Did you date this person for a long period of time? Werent there signs of what was to come?
fpbp
You're an elitist moron. Not liking depressing shit doesn't mean you can't understand it. It means you don't want to read depressing shit, you fucking spastic.
>everything related to women on the internet is whiteknighting
>everything is fascism
>everyone is a nazi
>everyone is racist
>everyone who discusses / makes points relating to society that delve deeper than superficial dismissals or go against the party line are SJWs
this is you
yeah, keep telling yourself that, buddy.
Did you at least drop the mike before you walked out?
I dont understand all of you saying that you should get in a relationship where the person doesnt share your main interest, or even worse that theyre dumb
I have tried so many times and it always leads to me feeling guilty for essentially leading on a girl when I should have left as soon as I saw her just staring at me blankly while I explained who Wittgenstein was or how moving Prufrock could be
How can you not want more?
everything is fascism read Deleuze and Adorno you fucking nig
Is it rude to talk to a girl in a book shop or anywhere outside if they are already reading a book
