There's an awkward YA novel in there somewhere and I have to write it.
This is an /r9k/ thread. There's nothing literary about this. Kindly fuck off.

Try 'The Line of Beauty' by Hollinghurst
post-grad but gaydar is central to its plot
>>7313305
ayyy. my gaydar is shit and I'm too much of a luddite to fuck with grindr/scruff (probably too ugly for it). destined to die alone desu

Taming strange is fucking a stranger, not fucking your girlfriend.
/lit/ is for the discussion of literature.

your LIFE is an r9k thread

Nobody is jealous of the creepy alum with a freshman gf. Nobody.
>>7313550
tumblr told me not to, sorry girlie.
>>7313575
b-b-but I'm a boy, therefore tumblrs politics don't apply to me
>>7313548
We get it, you just lost your virginity 6 months ago so sex is still a novelty. Chances are that you're fucking a freshman girl because she's too young to understand that guys like you are just autistic faggots.
>>7313575
How do relationships start, if not in this way?
Besides club hookups.
>>7313592
Similarly to how friendships start.
>>7313593
How's that? I haven't made a new friend in four years. Through school?
>>7313592
They don't. Feminists are afraid of men and / or lesbian.

>we go along in the dark
>I say goodbye
>we never see each other again
>>7313575
Luckily for the human race most men disregard advice such as this. That is how babies are made.
Anyone else can't bother to read lots of greentext?
>>7313601
Why'd you have to bring Kafka into it bruh
Why ; ___ ;
>>7313592
>relationships
>modern day people
They don't start. The average millenial/tumblrfag doesn't really believe in monogamous relationships.
Either you're expected to wait to be approached yourself (not going to happen), or you really alpha your way in and have to dodge the false rape allegations later on.
>>7313575
She's not very good at drawing cute girls.
>>7313611
I wonder if this is true, and if it's why I have such bad social anxiety and never approach women romantically. Then I think I'm just rationalizing my own inadequacies by blaming society like tumblr users do.
wew lad what a conundrum
Help, guys.
I was propositioned for a threesome on Saturday. I was with a girl at a party (just a friend, though I was trying to get some of that sweet puss), and another girl from one of my bullshit classes (senior with major requirements filled) offered to join in, thinking we were a couple.
I'm super excited, but I'm also not that sexually experienced/self-confident. I would say my university is generally sexually repressed, and I'm no exception.
I actually googled "how to threesome" looking for tips, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the chance to try it out this weekend or next. Tips?
>>7313622
>Tips?
>>7313639
I know, I just thought I generally relate to y'all more than any other board here. I'm not a normie, I promise, but I'm /fit/, so some girls assume I'm shallow and calloused to these kind of experiences, when really I got back to my room later, smoked a bowl, did a couple lines of blow, and wrote about the whole experience for hours until daylight broke the next day.
>>7313630
pls anon, I'm an artist at heart, I promise.
>>7313575
...that's a cute girl?
>>7313650

>pls anon, I'm an artist at heart, I promise.
Could you be any more tryhard?
>>7313654
No, but it fits the bill for the average tumblr activist/SJW representative
>black
>fat
>bad fashion sense
>horn-rim glasses
>"I'm a strong, beautiful womyn buyt don't hit on me, silly boys"
>>7313657
oh, you have no idea. I write 7-10k words a week in a den in my basement, only keeping maybe 1-2k, and when I'm not writing, I lift weights and destroy myself playing rugby.
I was totally sober when I was propositioned, and this girl literally choked me on the dance floor, looking deep into my eyes the whole time. It was the most erotic thing I've ever experienced, and I write erotica for a side-income. This'll make for some good inspiration, but I'm fearing that I'll have too much performance anxiety during it to really take it all in.

If your prose is anything like this post, you should give up writing. You should also just live in the moment and enjoy fucking two women at the same time instead of trying to narrate a shitty story in your head.
>>7313550
s-same ;_;
>>7313266
>tfw you're an emotional cripple because you have zero confidence
>tfw you have zero confidence because you don't know why you're at college
>tfw still fucking hate the Brontes
I know all of these feels OP.
>>7313685
>and I write erotica for a side-income
>If your prose is anything like this post, you should give up writing
That's a negative. I love the idea that how I communicate on this god-forsaken place might be correlated with how I write elsewhere, too.
>You should also just live in the moment and enjoy fucking two women at the same time instead of trying to narrate a shitty story in your head.
That's what I'm trying to do, but I feel stuck. At worst, I need to appear like I'm living in the moment. I'm pretty good at putting on false airs, and I'm really more focused on using this opportunity to perpetuate an image of me as a confident source of sexual-progressiveness for the girls in my social circle (i.e. they hear rumors about my exploits and view me in a different light because of it). I dunno, it's a tough situation that was thrown on my lap.
I also have to interact with this girl in a classroom setting tomorrow.
I've only felt love from adolescence onward when projecting myself on to another person
>>7313755
I'm almost the exact opposite.
While it's been quite a while since I've felt anything close to love for another person, one big reason I seemingly can't anymore is because I project myself onto them.
I see a mistake here or a flaw there in almost everyone that correlates to things I hate about myself/my behavior/etc, and it prevents me from really accepting that person, in the same way that I can't love or accept myself.

>Yoga Pants
Absolutely disgusting. Just remember, the ubiquity of a practice does not justify it. Childbirth for instancedips fedora
>>7313266
>hating Emily
what kind of faggot are you, guy?
>learn to talk to humans
>learn to talk to women
>learn to flirt
Come on guys, it's not that hard
>>7313305
I find this hilarious
