I've only been lurking /lit/ for the past few days now so I don't know how often this has been discussed before but I wanted to ask this question.
How come girls/women are so much more likely to read then boys/men do? I know they usually have shit taste but they seem to enjoy it more than we do.

it's true. also, it would be better to see what books women read as opposed to men. i know women tend to read more fiction, while men read more non-fiction.

Girls read more, but they read shit. If you're to read shit, you might as well watch movies or fap
most men don't read at all, or read crime genre fiction
>>7813872
most of the stuff I read is generic top 100 /lit/ stuff. If I read shit then you do too
>>7813906
>A: "Most girls eat fatty foods."
>B: "I'm a girl, and I don't eat fatty foods, therefore you eat fatty foods."
a lot of bored housewives watch oprah or whatever and then read whatever she feeds them. also trendy shit like hunger games or 50 shades is all for women. just much more shit to pursue.
>>7813906
Wasn't saying you m8t, I mean girls in general.
No normies, guy or girl, read the lit top 100
>>7813915
I just assumed someone on /lit/ typically reads stuff other people read on /lit/
>>7813917
>whatever she feeds them
including faulkner and tolstoy
>>7813918
this. reading literary fiction is extremely rare.
>>7813587
Socialization. Girls aren't taught that they're gay if the ever open a book.
>>7813923
the logic error was in thinking that you being an exception to "most" somehow invalidates an observation about "most"
>>7813906
Women are to be seen, not to be heard. You're the perfect example of this.
>>7813587

>>7813872
Like there's any qualitative difference between men's fantasy shit and woman's romance shit. Or all those godawful self help books.
Almost everyone has shit taste. It's not really fair to single out girls or women for this. They just buy more books so the pleb magnitude seems higher.

Women dont have abstract intelligence and lack of proper imagination. Therefore they need potboilers and self-improvement literature to understand the real world. It sounds stupid but they are stupid animals.

no, they want fantasy. essentially why hunger games, divergent, twilight and 50 shades are the same story is

>actually two or three of the best men in the world want her

contrast this with a womans daily experience where she goes to a bar for a fuck and gets sad that she was only ever a piece of fuckmeat they lied to in order to jizz in her cumbucket.

I was actually memeing with a girl on tinder the other day. as soon as I tried to shift it into getting to know her instead of just baneposting and shit back and forth, she shut down.

That includes nothing GOOD, you bitter, autistic faggot.
In fact, you couldn't even understand the concepts of 'good' things or 'bad' things without life.
Go whine about how upset you are that your parents gave birth to you on Tumblr you fucking baby.
>>7816478
Just because I couldn't conceive of nonexistence as good if I didn't exist doesn't mean that nonexistence isn't good.
lmao pro-natalists are truly retarded
>>7816486
Of course it's not good, why wouldn't I want to be able to feel the rain or smell the flowers or court beautiful women?
It's either those things (a bit romanticised, but they come along with the ride) or an eternal abyss. At least life is exciting; fleeting, but exciting.
"It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep."
>>7814340
>berenstain
>>7816496
Nonexistence isn't eternal abyss. It's nothing. Nothing is good compared to decades of watching people around you suffer punctuated by some memes that the societal jew has convinced you are good.
Pro-natalism is the definition of sheep ideology
>>7816501
No, it is eternal abyss. It's literally an inconceivable nonexistence.
The answer to your problem isn't that pro-natalism is the sheep ideology; pro-natalism is what you choose to make it.
You stop being a whiny bitch and you go out and do something worthwhile with your life. Sure, you could be a sheep and sit around being depressed and saying >tfw no GF or you could go out and become the lion.
Anti-natalism is just 'wah I'm sad that I'm here and therefore I'll never have kids that can improve the condition of the world and my collective.'
You may as well just kill yourself, but you'd probably be too much of a pussy to do that, because little do you know you, like everyone else, are just a lion in sheep's clothing who's been tricked into believing he really is a sheep. You just have to break free of that mindset.
>>7816486
>caring about the feelings of things which do not exist
lmao antinatalists are truly retarded
>>7816511
Anti-natalism has nothing to do with being sad you dense shitbird. You're doing to anti-natalism what you accuse me of doing to pro-natalism. You can lead a fantastic, fulfilling life and be anti-natalist.
>>7816517
The feelings of things which could in the future exist at which point they would feel things. Anti-natalists are brilliant enough to see life beyond existence, and have transcended the cuckoldry of biology to realize the misfortune of reproduction. Relationships become more fulfilling when you're an anti-natalist. You focus on who you're loving and not simply what you want to produce. It is the ideology of the elite modern man
Reminder that no matter how interesting a woman is, when she reproduces and marries up, she loses everything that makes her a person and becomes a consuming thing, unless she is a nymphomaniac, which in some cases implode their lives to fuck down.
>>7816522
No, you can't, because you will never be fulfilled without having children.
And there's biological reasoning behind that. If you don't have children, you will remain bitter and feel unfulfilled, with no one to leave what you've earned with.
You'll just feel empty. No matter how much you lie to yourself and pretend that you were successful.
"Ha, take that human race! Take that biology! Take that my genetics! Look, I am the true alpha, no cuck at all; I pretended failure was the morally superior path, so that I could never regret failing!"
I feel people like you should watch Evangelion. Realise, please, that claiming you wanted to fail and never trying is still failing.
>>7816539
>No, you can't, because you will never be fulfilled without having children.
>Watch Evangelion
Jesus fucking Christ and I thought I was shitposting
>>7816547
Yeah, watch it and realise how much of a bitter, pathetic autist you sound like, Shinji.
And no, you won't be fulfilled without children. Why do you think childless women turn into brainless, angry, hateful SJWs?
>they never would have been that way if they weren't born!
Irrelevant. They never would have been any way if they weren't born. The moment you are born you have potential. You have to live up to that potential.
>>7816562
I'm not actually an anti-natalist. That was the shitposting part. I do think you're a moron. Not having children isn't a failure, and if you think it is there's a solid chance that you'll fail to have children because you'll fail to enter a long term relationship because you're a beta faggot who gets his philosophy from cartoons.

Go out and do something with your life, faggot.
Rather than calling people who are trying to convince your ''''''persona''''' (Jesus man) not to be a nihilistic cuckold betas, how about you go prove everyone wrong for once.

>>7816511
not that guy, but i agree with him.
becoming "the lion" is a fucking meme, being on this side of it. I went out and took control of my life and still don't see the point. The grass doesn't get greener, and his logically consistent view still holds once you've made something of yourself. It doesn't validate your existence to have had kids, it doesn't mean that what we're doing is any better than nothing or flinging shit at one another.
it doesn't matter.

Women are more likely to read for entertainment but no more likely to actually get into literature. One of my mother's friends goes through two or three books a week but it's all dogshit romance novels and bullshit self help books.
The worst part is shit like 50 shades flooded the BDSM communities with women supposedly interested in it but of course none of them want to take it beyond ERP because "Oh I'm not that kind of girl i think it's just hot in concept"
Fuck your prudishness, whore.

What they read is generally of a lower quality than the thrashiest video games.
My mother reads much more than me, for example, but only reads apocalyptic fiction (YA), because she wants to prepare herself.

>>7813587
>How come girls/women are so much more likely to read then boys/men do?
Because women are the receiving sex and men are the doers, the actualizers, the givers. Women generally read, and men generally write. Another facet of this is that women who attempt to write are almost universally shit at it, and men who only read without also writing are generally effeminate.
