Have you ever tried to use your knowledge of history to win over a girl?

Have you ever tried to use your knowledge of history to win over a girl?

I tried and failed today. I started blabbering on about Babylon and Mesopotamia....never again.

pro-tip: it never ever works and it´s even worse when you´re right, unless you want to date your teacher

HAAHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAHHAAHAHAAHAAHHHAHAA

Spoiler: it's not the topics, it's you

I talk to this Russian qt online pretty often and she's pretty impressed with my knowledge of Stalin and Great Purges. Her dad's a hardcore tankie so I'm just redpilling the girl as best as I can

I would say stick to normie topics like small talk or gossip or literally anything except nerd shit unless you explicitly know shes into a certain topic like that

ITT: we share our Will Hunting type stories

Did she figure out that you can't possibly have much knowledge about Mesopotamia and Babylon from existing texts? This shit happens to me all the time.

You don't impress women by discussing Mesopotamian history, rather French history

Literally how I got my slightly weeab GF: small-talk based on what I know of Japanese history. Which is rather encyclopedic, but extensive.

>[spoiler]Jokes on her, I find Jap history the most boring of East Asian history.[/spoiler]

What the hell lmao. You never do that irl unless she is into history as well, and even then you might sound arrogant.

>I talk to this Russian qt online
>online
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA

fuck ahhaha, what a beta fuck

Women like big brained niggas tho, nerds are smart guys who waste their time learning about programming, toys, Vidya, and Veeky Forums shit

I fucked her face online you leftist cuck. Go back to plebbit

It boils down to looks and charisma.

The more you have of those two, the more "weird views" start to become "strong convictions".

I've spoken my mind confidently of my view, where inevitably history comes into play for my politics, and had success with girls.

Though, obviously, that will not work with girls unwilling to listen - either because of you or them.

If Philippa Gregory, my mother, my sister, and my female friends taught me anything it is that women love kangz n shit.

And by that, I mean women love the history of monarchies around the globe, most particularly the juicy bits of monarch's personal lives.

Why do you think Game of Thrones is so popular? It's basically less actual fantasy and more like Court Soap Opera. Women love dat shit.

copypasting a story I posted on Veeky Forums a couple of days ago

>high school
>during lunch the beautiful new girl I occasionally spoke with sat with me since both of our closer friends didn't come that day
>we somehow get to the topic of dating
>she says that she doesn't like any of the traditions of courtship, flirting, teasing, etc. If a guy likes her then he should just come and say it and she'll go on a date with the guy, she has no reason to say no
>keeps bringing this up over and over, how a guy should just ask and she'll say yes
>I say that no, all of that romanticism is an essential part of the courtship process and a relationship is ultimately empty and dry without any lovey dovey bouquet and dinner date stuff
>we go to English class
>teacher's showing Dead Poets Society
>when the movie's finished I come up to her
>tell her: "see, I'm a lot like the guys from the movie and not a robot like what you described you want. I hope that watching the film has made you understand me a little better."

Just a couple of weeks later she got together with another guy, and is still with him seven years later.

>I fucked her face online you leftist cuck.
>online
get your shit together you miserable fuck

Even if this is bait - you do realize she was saying "just ask me out, I will say yes, ffs", and then gave up and moved on?

pathetic.

I can't be bothered to waste time with women face to face, leaving the comfort of my home
besides, I'm not some miserable orbiter who wants to fuck every girl who he talks to

When I told a girl that I study history, I had to tell her casual shit about WW2 for over an hour till we made out
Was worth it thou
t. user not interessted in contempory history

Wtf. How does that even work?

As an anthropologist I'm a specialist in religious genital mutilations. Needless to say I'm a wizard with great powers

What's wrong with that?
You believe that romanticism is an essential part of a relationship, it's one of your values (or tenets?) you hold. According to this seems that girl only was a vapid woman who just wanted to go out and have sex.

I imagine it must be fun for the girl if you go down on her:
Oh you know tribe x cuts that part of for that reason and look tribe y would take this part away to stop women from having pleasure and ah down here we have...

>According to this seems that girl only was a vapid woman who just wanted to go out and have sex.
The girl literally said "if you want to date with me (i.e. A PART OF COURTSHIP), say so."

user is a social autist for not getting the hint.

She that she found romanticism and all of that stuff boring so imo she was a boring girl. Now, probably she wasn't a boring girl and just said that so user could date her.

Honestly I don't know what would I have done, I would have probably say "Hypothetically if I date you..." since I'm an autist as well.

I briefly impressed a Russian qt when I asked her where she was from and actually knew where her city was and what it was famous for. Of course I fucked up for other reasons after, but that's neither here nor there.

Where was she from and why is it famous?
Just asking for the eventually of meeting her

1. Samara.
2. Three things. One, it's situated at a cross of two rivers (Volga and Samara) and has a pretty embankment. Two, the launch vehicle that delivered the first manned spaceship to orbit was built in Samara. Three, it's near Samara Bend, where the Voga-Bulgars fought the Mongols in 1223.

I also do the classic "tell her about her city" move and never get to anything.

Well I'm a burger, so maybe she was just impressed I could point to it on a map.

Good to know that samara has something to do with soviet space programm.

If that was the case then he did the right thing by rejecting the hypocrite.

Naturally, to not be a hypocrite she would have to apply the same standards to the entire male population.

As she was not a planetary level whore, clearly this injustice would not stand.

Thus he did the right things by rejecting her, and probably even improved his physical shape by spending his good boy points on a body pillow instead of more chicken tendies.

Verily.

Always comes down to this.

I was refering to the fact that she said that men should just ask her out instead of playing games yet she for some reason didn't hold herself to the same standard.
Inbefore it's wrong for a girl to ask a boy out.

There is such a thing as thinking too much into things - anything at highschool age for example.

If anything, she liked him, and tried to go halfway away from traditional romancing conventions - to make it easier for him.

Asking people out is scary when you're young - it's later when you stop worrying what people think of you that it gets easier - so that's why she didn't ask him.

But God knows I missed so goddamn many hints in highschool.

They keep hitting me like a brick to the face even now, 10 years late. "Oh, goddamnit, I could have slammed that as well".

I unleashed facts on my gf about a certain middle eastern religion and its prophet. She used to be a live and let live type, alas.
Now next step is redpilling her about nationalism and need for a close knit society.

>anyone on this board being as intelligent as Will Hunting

meant for

I do that to my gf, she agrees for a day or two and then goes back to her weeping liberal ways.

"She" types Mmm mmmm baby mmm, and he gives her schmeckels. Obviously.

>_and now the chaman lady scratch the insides of the vagina with a stone then pours some mix of spices and toxic leaves into the vagina to leave a permanent scar and keep it thigh forever...
>_t-take me!

I was thinking about the scene with the arrogant Harvard long haired guy at bar trying to pick up girls with cheap book quotes

You can't spell "sexual mutilation" without SEX U ON, amirite?

You have to play the feminism card with quiet subtlety, and let them reach the conclusion that all cultures and religions aren't equal, and own culture is best for their survival and well being.

I feel nasty typing all this stuff. Ima good boy i dindu nuffin.

Mine used to be ambiguous even on whether we should celebrate national holidays - "how can we know it's better we won".

Recent wars have put everything in perspective for her - that there is civilization and there is darkness. With my guidance, of course.

I'd say our view are now 95% aligned.

Women rarely really hold strong beliefs - they are clay, but you must become a sculptor.

Just don't talk about autistic shit like military history. Girls tend towards social history and "history from below". Listing off facts about WW2 weaponry will not impress anyone but pre-industrialization textile production methods is a guaranteed panty dropper.

I don't even understand what kind of feminism she adheres to. She says she is a feminist, yet feels strongly against the burka ban.

>Feminism means you are automatically tollerant of Islamic veiling traditions.
This is your mind on /pol/.

Daily reminder there are feminists groups that crap on religions- Abrahamic ones, especially- for being patriarchal as fuck. Ergo to them, the veil is a method of oppression.

...

You'd struggle to meet one these days that wouldn't defend Islam though.

I suspect military history makes men sound like little boys obsessing about tanks.

That said, I fucking love tanks, and military history makes me feel like when granddad bought me a new packet of toy soldiers.

So they're not wrong.

Talking more about the human side of it works better, I find.

One time I was fucking my ethnically Greek ex-boyfriend and I made some analogy about WWII (I'm ethnically Italian).

Looking back it was one of the most autistic things I have ever done but he was still dtf so whatever.

You underestimate how "redpilled" the average person is
I'm frequently surprised how out of touch people here can be with the majority of the population, although I shouldn't be

fags need not apply

PROTIP: the left (or all political sides for that matter) isn't a monolith.

You have feminists who hate religious practices.
You have feminists who ARE religious.
And then you have feminists who think women ought to do what they fucking like with their religion.

The last one seems to be more common. Ergo some of them would defend the Muslim Veil due to reasons that "its the Muslim Woman's personal choice."

Its great for winning guys over

see

I think I met a feminist that cursed Abrahamic religions and had tattoo of Igdrasil.

Does that count? Going over to hers Saturday. She was cute and tolerated my drunken Muslimbashing for like an hour - and I mean more the form than the content.

i mean more in general, the population's overall view towards islam is probably a lot worse now than it was even a few years ago

Talk about art history. Bitches love art history.

Apprise her of the fact that females are bound by religious law to wear the covering, they don't really have a choice if they live in a community that follows the religion properly and aren't borderline apostates.

There is a certain segment of society that will always side with a minority, no matter how shitty it is.

I realize they think they're doing the right thing, but come on. For one thing, I always feel they treat the minority like children who just don't know any better - deprived of agency.

For all my dislike, I see them as adults that made decision and must be judged on them.

yeah but thats actually a pretty small amount of people
most people just adopt the views of whatever they last read and based off of general feelings
which desu isn't really even a bad thing

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FUCKING KIKE§§§§ DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THERE CAN BE ONLY TWO OPINIONS ON EVERY PROBLEM AND ONLY A SINGLE RIGHT ONE???
DONT YOU LIKE THE FREEDOM FUCKING COMMUNIST KEK? SO WHY ARE YOU AN ISLAMIC COCKSUCKER!!
STOP TRYING TO DIVIDE US THERE IS ONLY TWO SOLUTIONS TO EVERY QUESTION. RIGHT OR WRONG

True. What is extremely embarrassing is when people start parroting things they read somewhere that are completely inapplicable.

I'm from a small country, the military is recently being beefed up due to current event, and you get people honestly claiming "that's because of the military industrial complex" - which they've clearly read online.

We have no military industry, the closest thing is a tiny workshop that makes 12 gauge hunting ammo.

But I do agree, that's not always a bad thing - but it is extremely dependant on the benevolence of the media.

Which country?
A baltic one?

Ding ding ding.

Now find the ammo producer. They've even been at US arms expos.

lithuania
latvia
estonia
too lazy to do research

>If anything, she liked him, and tried to go halfway away from traditional romancing conventions - to make it easier for him.
>Asking people out is scary when you're young
All the more reason for her to not be a hypocrite, imo, as she'd already made her attentions abundantly clear (allthough not clear enough for user), and as such had nothing to lose by running the whole race. But then again that's my adult hindsight.

Tell me about it. I myself had a youthful experience in my teenage years where I thought a girl was basically calling me a massive faggot, to which I replied proportionally. It was only later when I went home that night that I realised that what she really had been doing was hitting on me something fierce.

Latvia

Well done.

The ammo's very good, by the by.

I actually, sincerely, friendzoned a girl I found hot.

My 15 year old self honestly thought her as a friend was valuable - while she was basically grinding on me. Guess what? We stopped being friends a month after I rebuked her advances.

To have the least wrinkly body with the most feeble mind is really a cruel joke. And you can drink with zero hangover when you cannot drink legally.

how do historical economics and geopolitics fare with women?

Economics maybe. Geopolitics no, unless you can tie it into court life.

I was going to say economics only if her background is econ/business.

Geopolitics if you can show the human dimensions.

The key is to avoid beeing viewed like a nerd spreading his Information in form of insufferable monologues,but creating a seemingly equal base for discussing the topic,in the most interesting way possible,winning over the girl by viewing the self-evidently greater knowledge of the subject, as interesting part of the character and well-mastered skill.
After that every door and wondow to her heart and mind would be open.

Although,I was never able to practice this, because there is no girl interested in history in any possibble way in a 50km radius,I'm serious.

These days you have to somehow talk of an ultimately irrelevant event or process,with which they can be entertained and repeat and repeat it until a dynamic has been won,with some relation to the actual moment and every sign indicating that this would produce immensive amounts of emjoyable emotions.

There literally is no diversity in mind-set in modern girls,no hot-blooded,romantic,melancholic,shy,untamed,intensive,knowledge-seeking,culture-desiring,deeply interested,questioning,bitter,thinking or simplicistic female,no where to see,just some uneducated sluts and consumerist conformists.

They all seem to have well arranged themselves with living in a phasing Society they do not understand themselves,apathic&ignorant there,engaged&affected in here and everywhere else basic emotions,basic solidarity with other Girls,level of self-confidence and opening for the rest of the world.

Cringe.

I was managed to pull a qt who was at a prestigious Australian uni for Middle Eastern studies. Just knowing that the current troubles in the middle east stem from the retarded, illogical partitioning of the OE under the Sykes–Picot Agreement in my general knowledge made her wet af.

This was the only time history has ever got me laid tho.

>have crush on girl
>girl has crush on me
>both too shy to do anything
>friends push us together
>resultant relationship falls apart because neither of us knows what we're doing other than "be a couple because everyone else suggested it" and we're too scared to bring it up with each other

Then again, she kinda had shit taste sooooo

What? No, that's not the main reason at all. The current troubles in the ME are caused by the rise in extreme Islam caused by the House of Saud being forced to tolerate them after the Grand Mosque Seizure combined with their increase in prominence due to the War on Terrror, the end of the Cold War massively reducing the willingness of foreign powers to back the regimes in place because there's no threat of commie/capitalist funded uprising, and then the recent decrease in oil price leading to a wave of instability across the ME. Add in Iran funding terrorists in order to advance their power in the goal of becoming the dominant power there, the Turks doing the same, and you've got a clusterfuck that's gonna keep going.

My gf likes to hump my leg while I pretend not to notice, but also likes to hear the sound of my voice. So I'll just read my history texts out loud while she does so. I still don't understand it, but it makes her happy.

Yeah right, nothing to do with Americans bombing the middle eastern countries and funding and training the separatist rebels which CIA make sure are jihadist.

Dog can't be your gf, kys furryshit.

>girl asks what my favorite show is
>don't really watch tv
>just say that I've been enjoying Ken Burn's Vietnam War documentary
>"haha why are guys so obsessed with violence?"

Protip: You're right it's historically the most boring region in East Asia and I say this as a former weeb.

>when her favorite time period is late republican/early imperial Rome

A lot of you guys sounds like absolute spergs. You shouldn't date a girl because she has similar interests to you, that's what your friends are for. You date a girl because you enjoy one another's company and can be intimate with one another. My gf and I barely have any interests in common but we get along well with each other all the same. All you do by trying to get a girl who's interested in history is come across as needy and insecure. The best part of having a gf is being able to smell her hair while she gives you a handjob and lets you call her mummy :)

>You shouldn't date a girl because she has similar interests to you
From personal experience, not true at all. The problem is when you have only a few, restricted, niche interests that only a handful of other people share, as I suspect a lot of people on Veeky Forums do. But if you're more well-rounded, you can find a girl who has a lot of interests in common with you, and have an amazing time.

Yes I did when I was in the army, oddly enough it was a striper that went to art school. We talked about the history of art pre ww2 and I got her back to my hotel I was staying in.

I was on my last year of contract for the army and after that we moved in together, 5 years later we are still friends.

This user gets the struggle.

Now try talking about the Villanovans or whomever with a layman. "Yeah, so this is why you should give a shit about another fucking urn." Archaeologists stick together out of necessity. No one else can relate.

Not directly but I was introduced to the woman whom I eventually married by her father whom I've met through a historical re-enactment society. He's an art historian specialising in Old French poetry and I'm pretty sure that prior to my wedding I've spent at least as much time with him talking about historical topics as I did with my future wife doing couple stuff.

I distinctly remember a couple of occasions when I'd drive her back home after a date with the intention of parting ways but her father would invite me in, pour me a glass of Scotch, sit me down in an armchair next to his and we'd discuss his translation/analysis of some chanson de geste until 2 or 3 a.m.

My wife (then girlfriend, later fiancee) used to joke that she'd break up with me but we'd just keep meeting behind her back.

What are the best books to learn about Mesopotamia/Ancient Middle East? I'm most interested in Sumer and Babylon but Akkad and Assyria are also interesting to me.

Wow, that's cute as fuck user.

It was nice but unfortunately we now live quite far away and I don't get to see my father-in-law very often.

Anyway the first time I've spent a night at my girlfriend's place (not with her, mind you - in a guest room) it was because we stayed up late and a bit drunk until very late (well past 3 am) discussing Huon d'Oisi's "Maugre tous sainz..." until my future mother-in-law chased us to sleep.

Knowing a bit Turkish history can easily get you some well educated Turkish qt.
