Does anyone else feel constantly tempted by the literary lifestyle despite getting no pleasure or personal growth out of it?
This user tries to justify the time I spent forcing myself to read the great books, the historical contexts, the best orders. But it all feels so horribly pathetic and empty. I don't remember what I read and I don't enjoy it. I never have. I don't feel myself growing as a person - - indeed, aren't I shrinking? I am wasting the last shreds of my 20s trying to develop myself into a fictional version of myself which - - really - - is no better at all!
Those who read aren't really better off, are they? The greatest of all philosophers agree that the pursuit of answers leads nowhere. We learn to ask better questions for which there are no answers.
And fiction! Fiction. Do we really get a better grasp of human nature, the human problem, the universe's ways, by reading dead dudes' flowery descriptions of old problems? Wouldn't I get far more beautiful, intimate, and practical human experience by learning sports, volunteering, participating in religion? Who becomes a friend based on one's reading checklist? Who shares their deepest secrets with someone who only knows fictional humanity? What woman blessed with beauty wastes it on a compulsive reader with no social experience?
But does it really matter, in the end, when one is trapped within the prison of a small-dicked male body? Isn't the worst life just as sad as the best life knowing that I will never be attractive and will die sad and alone!

Wow, that gives me a lot to think.

Imagine the rash she'd have from the sweat of her skin in friction with that cheap polyester onesie.

Instead of these fags complaining about their loneliness they could have gone on the internet and shitposted instead.

That is why I read poetry and poetry only.
Ryder Richardson
Is having a small dick an old problem or is modern age seeing a recrudescence in such matters?
Benjamin Hall
If you dont like it or get anything out of reading then dont?
John Campbell
>recrudescence
and that's how I know you're a dickhead
Christian Morris
You were supposed to do the other things too. A person who spends all their time reading and none of it living or reflecting is just another flavor of dullard.

Isn't poetry boring though?

This. Reading should give you some insight that can be applied to other situations. If you don't have a life outside literature you can only judge books aesthetically. The small dick problem is minimal compared to physical and social impotence. Maybe lock it in chastity and become a cocksucking dickgirl. Then at least someone might call you on the weekends.

Cameron Phillips
Honestly for the small dick thing lick pussy, eat asshole, use toys, foreplay, roleplay, stick big ole dildos in her if she wants. A big dick isn't the end all be all of sex. Most girls wouldn't want to fuck a Hank Hill even if he was hung like a moose because the atmosphere is frankly more important. There are size Queens in this would but most will be happy if you put forth the effort to make sure they cum.

The most important thing in reading fiction is joy and pleasure. If you're not enjoying it, stop. And when you read fiction, good fiction, you're still constantly being exposed to new ideas and thoughts and stories, some of which might somehow respond to something inside of you that might in a way give you a little bit of new insight, or motivation, or again, joy. It's not entirely worthless.
If your main concern in reading is the pursuit of actual knowledge, you gotta read non-fiction.
Angel Nelson
Yeah, until the moment she finds a guy who does all that, but has a dick as though as an evian bottle.
Grayson Thomas
as thick*
John Peterson
This 100%
The myth that guys with big dicks are too ignorant and lazy to eat a girl out is a sad delusional fantasy and based on nothing. Guys with big dicks love eating pussy and are better at it because they get way more practice and are more confident. Plus the girl can get more into it with them because she's not psyching herself out thinking "I have to cum so he doesn't feel bad"
Anything that makes a girl self-conscious or think too much is poison in the bedroom. As soon as she sees that mediocre dick she knows she's gonna have to try harder to cum and not say anything or do anything to make me feel bad and it's just a miserable experience for everybody. With that big dick guy she can just forget everything and go crazy which is what girls really want, hands down
Jacob Price

Is this part of your small cock chastity roleplay fantasies or something? Why the fuck do I even come here any more? I leave for a week and when I get back everything is twice as retarded as I remember it being.
Hudson Foster
Yes. Virgin wife/gf
Joshua Gonzalez
This isn't roleplaying it's real life for real people and we're hurting
Jonathan Adams
Maybe you are different, but with the average "normie" girl it's exactly like that. Hence so many faze orgasms.

reading should be complementary to your life.
your life should be about hanging out with friends and taking care of your family. you should have a steady job, hopefully one that you find meaning in.
Brandon Adams
Would you leave a worthwhile woman for another because her tits were larger?
Charles Scott
Her tits don't influence my sexual satisfaction.
Anthony Mitchell
I mean, man are incredibly easier to be satisfied in this regard anyway.
Noah Carter

Connor Nelson
It's not about aesthetics like it is for men, it's about the grim possibility of going through life without any sexual satisfaction at all. The stakes are higher for women because they are capable of tremendous sexual feeling (more than men) but also the vast majority of men are incapable of getting them there. It's a messed up situation. Their whole range of possibilities is far wider. I don't blame them for wanting that big dick because how are you supposed to deal with the horrors of life when your sex life is fake, desperate and empty. They want something real.
Comparing it to aesthetic preferences (pretty/big tits/straight teeth) is missing the point. Those things matter but they're not in the same wheelhouse as dick quality.
Carson Lewis
what's so funny you dumb frogposter
Alexander Phillips
Dick size is largely inherited. Think about that for a while.
Ryan Hernandez
I've been hearing the term for a year, and I still have no idea what the literary lifestyle is supposed to be.
Thomas Young
You can apply this to anything. According to your logic, if you were a sex guru with a giant cock who meets all her emotional needs, if she then meets someone who does the same but is rich as fuck she'd instantly drop you, but that is simply not how it works..
You'll only make her uncomfortable about it if you act really insecure and uncomfortable about it yourself.
I agree women are shitty in a lot of cases but you're just fucking yourself over with this attitude even more. If you still want to get laid or have a relationship then at least try to make the best out of it, and if you don't, then why do you care to complain about it? Then again I'm a homo with a big dick so what do I know.
Adam Cook
I dont even have frogs in my hard drive, fuck off
Jeremiah Adams
>Then again I'm a homo with a big dick so what do I know. Nothing, you're lucky you don't to live with this.
Michael Rodriguez
The literary lifestyle is like your normal lifestyle, but you read books from time to time and tell everyone a lot about how you read books and the books you've read, and make lots of references to Great writers like James Joyce and DFW.
"This tortilla is tasty." - normal you "This tortilla makes me think of Blood Meridian, a novel by Cormac McCarthy known for its depictions of intense cowboy violence. Needless to say my feelings are ambiguous" - literary lifestyle you
Luke Lee
excellent post
Lucas Morris
Use a dildo, use you fucking fist if she wants it that big. Sex is mostly mental. Your impotence does not stem from you penises but from blaming your impotence on a factor you can't change while ignoring those you can.
Dylan Wood
>The literary lifestyle is like your normal lifestyle, but you read books from time to time and tell everyone a lot about how you read books and the books you've read, and make lots of references to Great writers like James Joyce and DFW.
oh, so you're basically describing an annoying person. Still I don't see how that's really a lifestyle, but whatever.
I like to read too, but this type of person annoys even me.
Thomas Taylor
This. Their ridiculous and resentful view of women is more likely holding them back than dick size.
Leo Gutierrez
I'm all in for using toys but it's not really the same thing.
Nolan Adams
It was clearly an ironic intentional shitpost, cool your jets
Luis Taylor
Is blood meridian the gringo's 2666? If thats the case I want to read it desu
Jose Lewis
and what makes you think my post wasn't and intentional shitpost, genius?
Gabriel Jenkins

It's not resentful toward women to feel bad that they aren't satisfied with mediocre dicks. If anything it is selfless

I like her face too. She is so pretty. I want a pretty girl to want to kiss me and tell me I'm a good man :-(
Thomas Smith
This Is not how relationships work. It is not an accurate representation of human motivation. It reduces women from being individuals to being merely a mechanism to reinforce your insecurities. You do not believe your penis is to small because women have told you so you believe it because it fails to meet your notion of what it means to be a man. All other things being equal a medium large penis is probably desirable but all other things are never equal.
Brody Roberts
I'm an autist.
Jayden Gonzalez
A side chick roastie told me I was a good man one time
Alexander Collins
Me too but I used to drink Maybe give that a try
Gavin James
Of course women aren't just after a large cock, but a small one will inevitably lead to a unfulfilling sex life with the guy, no relationship can survive this.
Austin Anderson
How small?

My ex did literally leave me for her ex and bragged on social media about how much she loved his huge cock and how pathetic guys with small dicks and ED [me] are
I never saw his dick but it is well known in my community that he is really hung
Angel Garcia
I have written a lot about this OP, but lit ignores and insults me. See my topic below and the copy pasta beneath it that I also wrote
Have you realised that the information age, with the huge amount of reading material, everything in English or translated to English, and vastly increased number of (sub-)media for books alone (physical, magazine, tablet, phone, e-reader, website, blog etc.), has destroyed the idea of being "well read"?
I think this for two reasons. First is the huge volume of stuff. You could read all day and never even read 1 % of all that "valuable" stuff. When it was 1600 and you could have read everything during your 3 years of formal education (more than 99 % of people) you could immediately join the intellectuals club. Now that's not true and it's demoralising.
The second reason is the killer. The idea of some sort of central planning bureau setting the list of required books is seen as farcical. We truly live in a much more multipolar world. Back in 1100 the Church told you to read the Greeks and the Bible and you are suddenly intelligent and well informed. There were no universities or companies or groups to tell you otherwise. These days, the huge increase in education means that everyone has an opinion and the arbitrariness of the "canon" has been exposed even to the most soody of pseudo intellectuals. Not only due to the multipolarisation within literature, but also the multipolarisation among activities. Who would claim that some Fields Medallist winning mathematician is an idiot because he hasn't read the Bible? It would take a high level of soodiness. But it would have been easy 1000 years ago.
Ultimately all this "well read" stuff was just a way for groups of people to signal social status / intellectualism or deriving other benefits by grouping their claimed interests together. We see it today when the academia-media-publishing industrial complex tells you that you have to read books or you're stupid. But this has been taken to a farcical new level now that writers like Tao Lin / Mira Gonzalez exist. It's also clear in other activities.
Nathan Lewis
Your experience is hardly universal. I once cucked a guy who had a monster cock (needed those extra-large condoms) with my own mediocre 5.5 incher. Get charismatic or get out of the gene pool.
Christian Taylor
Did you just get lucky once or did she actually leave him for you and not go back to him
Ryan Long
Go see a doctor if you have ED, that can be a sign of more serious shit.
If you have a small dick, his is likely just normal. I would guess that based around the actions afterwards like them having to tell everyone about it.
Sebastian Johnson
Women like being deep-dicked. It's not EVERYTHING or even most things, but it's important. They like feeling effortlessly filled up by girth and like length reaching their deep spots.
Nicholas Kelly
Normally I don't say this outside of /b/ but...
Please kill yourself
Charles Harris
i think the problem is that you use literature as a status symbol instead of what its real purpose is, to enjoy one's self, to read and hear and learn things you like. the reason this board is shit is because this is where we come to relax after a book, or after a chapter, or what have you. we come here to shoot the shit with vaguely lit topics, and argue our pants off, literature from a critical standpoint has been argued to death, and now we're just going through the motions of analysis. when we return to our books, when we sit down with something we can get lost in, we can really say to fuck with social status, i just want to turn the next page.
the reason you don't get a lot of attention is because you're fucking whining that you're not a madly popular intellectual because you've read literature that you're only supposed to read because YOU LIKE IT. NOT BECAUSE OF THE PERKS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT COME OF IT.
