Find a qt3.14

Is he? I thought he was talking about college kids or something. But yeah, I don't disagree with you. Most 27-year-olds are quite boring too but I think it's getting more homogenised as time goes. There's still a flicker of individualism in my gen but, as I suggest, it's not quite as pronounced as the slightly older people I meet.

Also, I came to that conclusion because the only person I know who's actually read Rupi Kaur is 21. And the only people I've ever seen buy her book - i'm a bookseller - are around that age.

>old hag (young women is just another term for 'old hag')
>cute
Fuck off reddit.
>elite
Elite schools don't exist, they're just factory schools with more money and an impressive campus (to inflate tuition, of course).

its fake you idiot

you never read any rupi kaur poem, dont you? You would respect her otherwise

As a man, you should impose your tastes on women, they have no will of their own.

It's probably just got to do with getting older, and as you get older you come more into your own instead of being a follower of the masses, for a variety of reasons (continued brain development and maturity; no longer being around a bunch of aimless kids with no responsibilities that are your age for 6+ hours a day every day; etc).

At least I hope so because the current generation and their constant IRL memeing and talk about internet culture is so annoying. It amazes me that I grew up when the WWW had literally just came about (I'm 25) and was this incredible new, novel thing, and the internet has been in tens of millions of homes for over 20 years now, yet this current generation acts like the internet is this brand new cutting edge fad that just came out. Everything that is on the internet is somehow absolutely hilarious and amazing and must be talked about non-stop and inserted into conversations all the time.

Go gay!!

>Some 10% of CEOs currently heading the top 500 companies received undergraduate degrees from Ivy League colleges, according to a survey by executive recruiter Spencer Stuart. But more received their undergraduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin than from Harvard, the most represented Ivy school.

Well their shitty state school education worked out okay for them.

>Harvard undegraduate population = 6,699
>University of Wisconsin, Madison undergraduate population = 31,662

UMad is definitely one of the stronger state schools, don't get me wrong, but it's important to note that it's 4x the size of Harvard. It would also be interesting to know how many of those CEOs got their MBA or JD at an Ivy.

Meter and structure are not always the most important things, but still

these poems are bad

>Is it even possible to find a young cutie reader/writer girl who is at least semi-patrician bros?
I know a few semi-patrician reader girls, but none are writers.

Really makes my brain burn up some phosphate

You've gotta engineer her taste bro. Recommend her good authors in a style peripherally related to what she reads. Offer articulate but mild critiques of what she reads. Don't come off as harsh or elitist, but educated. You might have to slog through some of her recommendations but in the end it will have been worth it.

this is some thoughtful shit

Lol

I believed you, and looked for her real poems. Fuck you.

>Everything that is on the internet is somehow absolutely hilarious and amazing and must be talked about non-stop and inserted into conversations all the time.

Yeah, but I think that's because the internet is all kids have to form their social identities these days.

I'm a /britlad/ from a midlands town and when I was younger, me and my mates always go out to watch gigs (local and touring bands). Now those venues have all shut down and the varied social scenes like those I flirted in don't exist. I've had conversations with older people about that type of thing and I know a lot of their social interactions were formed around those types of cliques too.

That's a personal example of course but I think it explains why the internet is as big a phenomenon as it is. It's the only thing young people have in common and they actually base their entire social existence around it. People go out of their way to indulge in shit books like Rupi Kaur's big book of aphorisms masquerading as poetry simply because it's part of their social identity.

It's a weird world.

i miss those days
then of course they added id, phone number verification, and police reports lmfao

see: >There are plenty of Veeky Forums users at those schools dude.

i also unironically agree with this. if a girl likes you enough you can get them to read whatever you want them to.

i went to a state and an ivy, and boi let me tell you, its night and day.

>UMad
I would go that school just because the abbreviation is hilarious

OP here, you serious bros? Is she still salvageable? I know my taste will seem very patrician to her (I haven't revealed my power level yet desu). I don't want to come across as too much of an elitist douche, but I'll try. I don't want to force her to read Joyce or some other super difficult author. What are some authors you guys would rec for hacking her literary tastes? Virginia Woolf? Dostoevsky?

my girlfriend loves t.s. elliot, hemingway and Byron

Why don't you ask her what she is interested, and then recommend her a book you have read before?

Talk to her, nigga.

She has to really like you though.

You can get plebs into quality literature.
I know one girl who only used to read YA and got into Ishiguro via Never Let Me Go and now reads decent stuff as well as her trash on a regular basis.

so she's a pleb? nice.

yeah but shes got a great ass

My gfs fav book is moby dick, she reads what i tell her and other stuff shes interested in.
We both had a laugh about rupi poopi

Post? Just the ass. It's not like any of us could identify her by just the ass, right?

I met a girl with a byron quote on her backpack. I gave her a spare joyce I had and she moaned a bit about how tough he is to read.

None of that is beneficial.

Genuinely, where do you meet these girls? I'm convinced not all girls are idiots despite what is commonly purported on this Elizabethan basking weaving assembly but I've yet to meet more than one outside of a classroom.

I meet them at parties because I live in a big city.Find the ones not dancing. Plenty of people that don't like parties go to parties.

>not using this a chance to introduce her to some real classics while she teaches you how to not be such an insufferable cunt, and actually building a complementary relationship with each other

ok. ok. wow. just.... ok. have you learned nothing from any of the fucking books you ever read? do you have any fucking clue how human relationships develop? all of the characters and relationships you've come across in your (((alleged))) patrician reading, and you still don't have a single fucking clue about how to develop a simple fucking relationship? you are a gigantic fucking faggot. seriously. i'm glad faggots like you will never find a mate and reproduce so that there are less autistic pieces of shit in the human race. faggot.

Alright, I'll keep it in mind. I'm trying hard to find a job in the next big city over so with any luck I'll get invited to at least one party before I die.

If you live near a big city, look into the arts-related events. Opera events especially will have plenty of well-read women.

Maybe if you're retarded and don't know how to make use of it.

I'm a state school pleb and I'm envious. I had the opportunity to go to a good school but I'm an idiot.

>Is it even possible to find a young cutie reader/writer girl who is at least semi-patrician bros?
I exchanged numbers with a girl who's reading Infinite Jest atm. Just yesterday she asked me if I wanted to meet and I said no.
Point is: there are girls who have at least some iota of taste. Just gotta be lucky enough to find them.

Here's some advice:
Don't go for girls who "like reading and writing". That's like wanting a girl who is serious about a sport and going for the one who "likes fitness", or like being an outdoors guy and going for the girl who "likes adventures".
Learn to read social cues.

Second piece of advice:
Girls don't have to have the same taste as you or identify with old men who smoke, drink and hunt or channeled their sexual frustrations. Let them read Munroe or Austen or whatever.

When it comes to literature, both genders are equally fucked up in my experience. There's just as many men who read YA or genre fiction or shitty scifi.

There is very little shitty sci-fi.

The genepool is gonna wipe the sweat off its forehead when OP finally dies childless.

Maybe if you define it narrowly but there's enough GRRMartin-in-space out there, thousands of pages of derivative Lovecraftian shit, more high-fantasy shit than anyone could ever read, etc. - males read a lot of dumb shit too.

I had never considered this
>tfw too servile in nature to develop normal relationships

There is very little good sci-fi and my standards have been eroded*

>she makes cervantes looks like stephen king

kek'd

Jesus, why do I love these Rupi Kaur threads so much? I love it when people post real shit from it, I love when people post fake shit, and I love when people claim the real shit is fake shit so I'm duped into looking up more real shit. I've never been so gladly infuriated since I binge watched Bill O'Reilly clips when I was 16.

I never even knew who this poo in the loo girl was until this afternoon.

Her poems are shit, but she is a year younger than i, and already published, and respected in literary circles.

Just saw she narrates the audiobook, what a treat. You can listen to a sample.
audible.com/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Milk-and-Honey-Audiobook/B01K7YRP10

>respected
she's tolerated because otherwise people would be accused of racisss and mysoggyknees

A great kaur poem:

the boys of the
school yard
did not like her
they preferred those
blonde white plastic
bitches over her
curry pussy forest

Why did you say no?

>tfw like reading poetry but straight up incapable of telling when poetry is shit or not except for when it's obviously a joke
What's wrong with me?

I don't think anyone is disputing that men sucks as well as women, but most here are, at least reportedly, interested in girls.
Wanting your partner to share your niche interest is not necessarily sexism.

HAHAH you're fucking delusional. There is so much derivative formulaic trash out there. In fact the majority of science fiction is trashy and horrendous, and I say that as someone who loves sci fi.

>look like
This attitude is one of the symptoms of the problem you are talking about. People thinking their personality can and should be summarised by external indicators (aka, fads).

i just made this
can i be famous?

>Learn to read social cues.
How?

Also bros, do grills actually do this? (pic) How do I tell if a grill genuinely likes me and isn't just being really friendly?

Be a man and make your intentions known.

Just ask her.

Any chance you go to Twisted Tongues?

this
gender discussion on Veeky Forums essentially boils down to neckbeards fawning after the popular girls and then getting angry at them not reciprocating their autistic interests.

I'm sorry user.

The diagnosis is in and... you're a pseud.

I talked to a girl that said that Lolita was on her reading list (after she finished the then current one - To kill a mockingbird) and I was happy, thinking oh wow! A woman who doesn't bash on Lolita because of the theme!
Half a year later she is posting Kaurs.

I haven't been to Veeky Forums in a while, but I thought that "pseud" always meant pseudointellectual, like somebody who was pretending to be well read or smart. Wouldn't somebody admitting to not knowing something be kind of the opposite of a pseud?

>I want a girl who shares my interests and tastes and is like me in every way

No, you fucking idiot. That's what male friends are for. Date a mirror if you want a partner that's exactly like you.

Think about it, are your parents exactly the same in their personalities? I know mine aren't, they're practically polar opposites.

You want a partner that's not like you. Someone with different perspectives, someone who can share something new with you. Never go looking for a female version of yourself, because she'll never be good enough.

>recently became very good friends with a qt innocent Muslim girl from a poor immigrant background who writes surprisingly good and delightfully simple lyrics somewhat reminiscent of Davies', and wants to learn more about poetry
>corrupting her with readings from Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Swinburne, and dazzling her with the great Romantics, Modernists, and Metaphysicals
>we exchange lessons in Arabic and Latin

Get on my level.

I-I-I'll be your gf user.

Autism

>2017
>falling for the opposites attract meme

Assume it's all flirting and be willing to accept whatever consequences come of it.

Get her to read the stranger first. If she hates it, then slowly reveal power level in a crescendo fashion. If she loves it, have a talk about existentialism (girls love """""existentialism""""" at least the concept of it, not the true nitty gritty details) from there she's all yours my friend

>bae is a classics PhD
>favourites are Proust and Pound
>infinitely smarter than I am and cocky about it
>openly condescending when she corrects me
>very attractive

I am not worthy of this life.

does she step on your dick, too?

>infinitely smarter than I am and cocky about it
>openly condescending when she corrects me
This would just make me want to fuck her even harder.

up

I don't know. Does it?

Present her with the male Rupi Kaur:

I actually think Vennu is better. More interesting juxtaposition of words.

I couldn't find the right reaction image. Just know that I'm now fully erect.
