But what is a red flag to see on a woman's bookshelf?

Astrology shit
more for me
I'd probably bolt if I saw Hillary Clinton books, or anything by someone like Dworkin
>someone like Dworkin
I don't think a Dworkin protégé would be in the heterosexual dating pool to begin with
That's a green flag for great sex though.
>Astrology shit
Unless she's a mesopotamian scholar, or something, and the books featuring astrology are titled like:
"Heavenly Writing. Divination and Horoscopy, and Astronomy in Mesopotamian Culture" (2004)
"In the Path of the Moon. Babylonian celestial Divination and Its Legacy" (2010)
"Before Nature. Cuneiform Knowledge and the History of Science" (2017)
Knowing the difference might save your life.
No shit, I was talking about surface level new age shit, not academic works on historical divination
Yeah, unless it's a well read person that happens to be interested in the topic out of curiosity or to laugh at people that believe in astrology
my gf is doing a training to be a certified astrologer. it includes a some general knowledge on newtonian physics(to calculate planet orbits, etc.), lots of knowledge on greek and roman history/mythology and some human psychology
seems pretty based to me
Anything intellectual.
This is what a woman should have on her shelves. It indicates that she's womanly and comfortable being such. Women should not be interested in what men are interested in.
>Women should be reading garbage shallow books by Ben Shapiro or Rachel Maddow
Don't say I didn't warn you
astrology is fine but the others are signs of rot. Romance novels are womanly, not stories about teenagers fighting dragons after having gay sex
Exclusively YA
If you're ruling out women for them acting childish, boy have I some news for you

Why is it called "Young Adult" fiction if it's written and read exclusively by 30+ year old women
Psychoanalysis
Man-hating feminist shite
yeah this, especially psychoanalysis
Why all the hate for psychology/psychoanalysis?
The b***h will try to play mind games
men on psychoanalysis
>how can i improve myself and my life
women on psychoanalysis
>how can i improve him and my life
Sounds DEEPLY ARCHETYPAL to me, anon.
it's basically the way to rearrange their brain into casual sex
>Why all the hate for

Because you'd want to frick your own mother and castrate your father for some Oedipus trauma you've got.
Pseud detected. Read Lacan
It's fundamentally wrong and inherently israeli to alter people's thoughts to be well adjusted to their slavery.
Psychoanalysis is based
Based on the voices inside Freud's head, you mean.

Chances are if you meet a b***h that has one of those books, you'll know well before you see her shelves.

>extremely worn-out copy of Madame Bovary
That would indicate they are based. Most women hate Madame Bovary because Emma doesn't get away with her infidelity. They also loathe Charles to the utmost degree. Most women can't even finish Madame Bovary.
You seem to view women as men, and boy do I have news for you if that's how you are.
Do women hate Anna Karenina too?
women love those books because women love to comment on fictional or real people all the fricking time. And women being devoid of introspection, they dont see that they lead the same life of the women they condemn

I guess that's you, mine has
anything with a cutesy font that looks like handwriting
Redflags that she's living in her own world remote from reality and can't stand violence or real adult subjects: YA, fantasy, garbage scifi, astrology
Redflags that I'd be impossible to talk with her and make a decent family: feminist theory, watered-down psychology, psychoanalysis, books written by politicians
I'm a guy and I like to live in my own world. I only read science fiction, fantasy, YA. I don't like extreme violence and the only non-fiction I read is about sports.
You will never be a jedi.

Having a gf with good taste is definitely cool but it's massively overrated by nerds imo. It's pretty cool especially at the beginning of the relationship but I'd rather date someone chill than someone with "good taste" (according to me) which almost certainly ensures they are a degenerate depressed piece of shit (like me). You don't want a dummy who doesn't read at all but if she's into her own shit that's not to my taste who cares.
yeah so i'm basically saying this but unironically
My ex, believe it or not, liked Dworkin. I didn't know enough about her ideas but it 100% should have been a red flag.
>Bible at 64

Is Valis worth checking out? I've only read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Pretty fun read imo. It's a light novel that stills manages to get across some meaningful concepts and ideas.
Awful parochial list. A disproportionate number written in English, and almost none written in a non-European language.
There just aren’t that many good bookS written by non-Europeans.
Sure there are. China alone has an expansive literary tradition that you could spend your life wandering through (provided you read Chinese, as only a relatively small amount is translated.)
If they were good they would get translated.
Or China has a multi-millennia literary tradition and has only been in extensive contact with the West for a small portion of it in which for it to be translated. There's an extensive amount available in translation, but it's the tip of the iceberg.
The ratio between how long a tradition has existed and how long it has been in contact with other cultures is a kind of weird way to go, not quite sure what you’re trying to prove there. Even if you only take the last two decades, there is a huge financial incentive to translate books that are gonna blow people away. It hasn’t happened yet. Chinese books just aren’t that good.
Some of the most heartrending poems I've ever read were in Chinese.
>complains that IQfys top 100 books are mainly euro language
>China has good poems
Are you having a laugh mate?
No? I genuinely find pieces like 江城子・乙卯正月二十日夜記夢 or 琵琶行 heartrending.
I've had sex once to date, and it was with another woman.
Hey, at least she's actually diving into the theory instead of repeating superficial understandings of 'socialism' because it's cool among her friends.
Theory is one thing, 1000 pages of Marx's economical autism is another.
>I genuinely find pieces like 江城子・乙卯正月二十日夜記夢 or 琵琶行 heartrending.
Are there any good translations of these that you'd recommend? I'm interested in getting into chinese poetry
You will never be a woman either.

Thank god, some sanity. If I see a collection of Tolstoy's short fiction, full simp mode and no regrets.
anything that isn't a family recipe book
I haven't played a videogame in a long while, but I'll date a girl with good taste in games over one with bad taste in literature any day. fetishizing books is not a sign of someone with a healthy self-image in any case.
Unless you play your games for an hour a day you are a certified loser. At least books require you to use your imagination.
By fetishizing books you mean beating off to photos of libraries?

YA hardcover okay?
I’ve met exactly one girl who “reads” in my life, and she doesn’t really read. She takes 6 months to a year to partially complete a book before abandoning it and picking up something else. I don’t think it’s something you really need to worry about
Who is she?
Anything related to academic pursuits. They're children, and they become annoying when they start to act like they're adults.
I went on a date with a girl who was obsessed with Rumi Kapur. I took her home, read her some Neruda (i.e. a real poet), fricked her and then never called her back. Hope the experience was educational..
>We like to joke about women talking about a man's bookshelf and how certain books are red flags to them
No, we don't.
What books are a red flag to a woman?
Nobody cares.
>But what is a red flag to see on a woman's bookshelf?
What you call a red flag a real man calls a cry for help.
If your girl has a room, and the room has a bookshelf, and the bookshelf contains books, here's what you do.
1) While she is lying semi-conscious in post-coital bliss, rise brisky from bed.
2) Cross to bookshelf.
3) Sweep all those colour-co-ordinated Rupi Kaur & J.K.Rowling tomes into a large black plastic bag.
4) Take the bag to the trash.
5) Put three new books on her shelf. This one...
... this one ...
... and this one.

Niqqa I want to frick her pussy not her library
This is why every post in this thread is bullshit. Aint nobody about to get that pussy glancing at her shelf and being like NOPE NO DICK FOR YOU TONIGHT BABY and dips. 100% virgin daydream.
This thread is about not sticking your dick in crazy.
Every rational man knows you should not stick your dick in crazy.
Thats is also virgin speak. Crazy pussy is the best pussy. Just don't give crazy your full name or addy and you're good.
Ironic
I'm jealous of men that they can think like that. The corollary for women, 'don't let crazy stick its dick it you', has an implied 'because you might get fricking murdered'.
Idk how dumb you have to be to think that crazy women aren’t gonna kill you, turn around and claim you attempted to rape them and receive sympathy.
Statistically, one is FAR more common than the other.
What’s your point? People shouldn’t be wary of crazy women bc it’s more likely a crazy man kills a women tonight than that you get murdered?
Some wariness is always appropriate, but the risk, and therefore the level of caution called for, is far higher for women.
So you’re jealous of men who joke about crazy women, bc there’s a incredibly small chance a crazy guy will murder you. And you’re justified in that belief, bc guys needn’t be as weary, as their small chance is somewhat smaller?
Lot smaller.
This is true. Crazy women frick well. They just tend to frick your life up too.
Women are infinitely more likely to be stalkers. Also, crazies will not just break up with you but attempt to fire-bomb your entire life out of pure spite. It's a pretty good idea to avoid them.
All women are a bit crazy. It is mostly what you make of them. Obv. from their baseline i.e. negress of fat council estate bawd won't change.
self help. i mean its not bad . then there psychology, if shes not in a class for it. she wants to either learn about you or manipulate some how.
Ernaux, Lorde, Nelson, Ferrante, Woolf, YA shit, graphic novels, lack of philosophy, lack of serious poetry, etc.
Anything. Women should not read.
Anything about feminism.

Psychology books
Maybe a controversial take, but I like that my wife isn't into literature because it means I can keep it a solitary activity
The women I've dated have all been daddy-issue-ridden goth girls preoccupied with horror and/or psychology, and the woman I married reads almost exclusively feminist-slanted medical science and YA fantasy, but even these aren't absolute red-flags, because they're so far outside my ken that I have no obligation to have an opinion, and so conflict is avoided
Victorian literature. Generally read by middle to upper class liberal c**ts who grew up in a university town or by frumpy women with rich parents. They normally have no clue how privileged they are. It might be a misogynistic period in history, but that gives them all they need to pretend to critique it. They're our feminine pseud counterparts.
Most YA stuff is relatively benign by itself. For me it's neutral. Real flags would be a complete absence of actual authors (and I'm not even particularly demanding on this front) and material that signalled she's got the meme politics of the terminally online.

I don't think I've ever been to a woman's house who had actual books in her shelves outside using old college textbooks as paperweights or book ends for her DVD collection. The only women I know who read at all (less than 10% of them) do it exclusively on their phones or an e-reader, and they read like 80% "romance" porn novels, 10% crime novels about male murderers (another form of porn for women), and 10% general drama and fantasy fiction.
So given that this is what I've observe to be the female norm, I suppose I'd be suspicious of girls who had a book collection at all, or commonly read any kind of books that weren't romance, crime, or fantasy related.

False.
The ones that matter are yes. And you're not an abstract concept, just a sick homosexual.

pretty sure early israelites would confirm you that God (and his Angels) are male.
In Hebrew, God is a 'he'. But in Hebrew everything is either a 'he' or a 'she', even inanimate objects, because of how Hebrew grammar works.
???
>god or his angels are definately not women because they could've indeed expressed that; and they couldn't have thought about anything having no gender
is that your argument? you're not making that well of a logic or even just archeological, philological point here.
I inferred that no real women browse this board. Especially at this globally ungodly hour where on a saturday evening in the US no reasonable person would browse this board instead of having fun and in Europe no one reasonablep ersone would still be awake or would wake up at 7-5am to browse a bhutanese pottery forum talking about Tang period Ru criticism of buddhism.
I'm not saying they couldn't have thought about something having no gender, I'm saying you can't talk about something in a genderless manner in Hebrew.
And I'm not sure what to say except... yeah, there aren't many, but we do exist.
>but we do exist

Jesus fricking listen to yourself
It’s like you think all women are the types that have instagrams with 100s of selfies and hit the club every weekend
This also isn’t how men interact. The point is that no one, only actual nobodies talk like this. If you claim to be repulsed by this then you hint at being a normal person, but there is no way a normal person would come, stay and post here.
>100s
You have to be a “different type of normal” to have 100s of photos on instagram and to be able to afford hitting the club every weekend. Few among normals even in the western world can do that. Few have that much money to waste, free weekends to recover, enough egoism to not care about the fiftieth photo of themselves and the same three people.
Those women are frankly nearly as alien to me as men are. Gender aside I'm not that different from the average shy, nerdy, IQfyner, though I feel like I've gotten a little more social recently.
>why? are you a neet? do you think you've failed in life?
Not really. Sometimes I question why I'm still here, but I've had the occasional positive experience.
>this manner of social interaction isn't that attractive even repulsive to women. no need to mince words there.
I'm not really the typical woman, being autistic. That might be part of it.
okay, that answered my question
>we do exist.
If you want us to think you're a woman, don't use the most common troony shibboleth in existence.
>But in Hebrew everything is either a 'he' or a 'she
so why isn't god a she, then, b***h?
>so why isn't god a she
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_the_Holy_Spirit#Grammatical_gender
"In Hebrew the word for Spirit (רוח) (ruach) is feminine, (which is used in the Hebrew Bible, as is the feminine word "shekhinah" in rabbinic literature, to indicate the presence of God, Arabic: سكينة sakina, a word mentioned six times in the Quran)."
Some combination of 'he had to be one or the other' and 'the ancient Israelites had a patriarchal culture so conceiving of him in male terms made sense to them'. That doesn't mean he factually is male, though; he has no body, and therefore no sex. (Supposing his existence for the moment.)
>But in Hebrew everything is either a 'he' or a 'she'
Wow just like the real world.
Inanimate objects and abstract concepts are all either male or female?
oh no
>GIVE ME POWER
sweety... that's not how power works
Hey, didn't say it's actual power. They said it's a cultural figure of power.
a lot of women are chronic normies just like a lot of men are, and they think the people who have power are politicians and well-off white people rather than deep state agents, the WEG, ~~*familial wealth serf-owners*~~ and advertisers.
It's not empowerment if it's a teenage phase.
Not actual empowerment, but driven by a drive for empowerment.
Frankly, reading a poem in translation is like kissing a beautiful woman through a veil, as the saying goes. But it's better than nothing. Honestly, though, especially for poems like those that aren't very long I'd suggest looking for multiple translations to compare, so you can at least get some idea of the real meaning. For the first one the title to search is 'jiang cheng zi, su shi' and 'pipa xing'. I'll also share my own translation of the former:
>For ten years, this abyss between the living and the dead.
>It's not that I think of you
>so much as I couldn't forget you if I tried.
>Your lonely grave a thousand miles away,
>I have nowhere to talk about my bereavement.
>Even if we were to meet, I don't suppose we'd recognize each other,
>my face is covered in dust
>and my hair is like frost.
>Last night I dreamed that all of a sudden I was back home
>and at the window of our little home
>you were there, combing your hair, doing your makeup.
>We gaze at each other without words,
>just a thousand streams of tears.
>I suppose it'll continue to be a place of heartbreak, year after year
>under the light of the moon,
>the hill with the young pine trees.
I confess that I made no attempt to replicate the meter or rhyme scheme, though.
>Not actual empowerment, but driven by a drive for empowerment.
I'd call it cringe but I remember when I would close my eyes, reach into the air and pretend to destroy universes.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply anon. I know it's obviously very different in the original chinese, but a good amount of the emotions came through in your translation, the last lines in particular. I'll spend some time going through other translations now.
I'm willing to recommend resources if you or anyone else is interested in learning Classical Chinese, by the way. You don't have to know Mandarin to learn Classical Chinese, any more than you have to know French to learn Latin.
Anything at all.

It honestly doesn't matter to a man what a woman believes as long as she behaves herself.
Is that really how men feel? Is your interest in us that shallow?
No, it's just the compromise we are forced to make because almost all women believe the insane crap put into their heads by the public education and media complex. What else are we supposed to do? Obviously it is preferable to have a woman that agrees with you, but that's not feasible or realistic as a western man in 2022.
What do you mean by 'insane crap put into our heads by public education and media complex'?
Men can become women and vice versa, homosexuality isn't a mental illness, race isn't real (or race is real and we need to respect those differences, it changes), religion is bad, diversity is good. I don't get it, can you really not identify the state ideology being propagated by media and institutions? You might agree with it or not but don't pretend you can't recognize it.
>Men can become women and vice versa
Of course you can't change your biological sex. But some people are strongly distressed by their birth sex for some poorly-understood neurological reason, and human decency calls for us to at least tolerate those people and not harass them.
>homosexuality isn't a mental illness
What if I think what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms is none of my business one way or the other?
>race isn't real (or race is real and we need to respect those differences, it changes)
Depends on what you mean by 'race'. Obviously there is genetic variation between humans, but to my understanding it's fairly continuous and hard to draw bright lines in.
>religion is bad
Honestly, I've been wondering if I'd be happier with religion, but the problem is that rationally I don't see reason to think any of it's true.
>diversity is good
Diversity in and of itself is not good. Not limiting people's opportunities arbitrarily based on the circumstances of their birth is good, however; even from a purely good-of-society viewpoint that doesn't care about equity to particular individuals, the more people have a chance at education the more scientists and researchers there will be to make useful discoveries.
>I don't get it, can you really not identify the state ideology being propagated by media and institutions? You might agree with it or not but don't pretend you can't recognize it.
I would have said the primary state ideology is capitalism; that's what the powerful benefit from. The institutions pushing wokeness is primarily a distraction from class struggle, but that doesn't mean human decency doesn't include the concept of not limiting people's opportunities based on their birth- though I'd include the economic dimension in that which so many wokies skip over.
>The institutions pushing wokism as a distraction for class struggle
It’s funny how quickly Occupy Wall Street disappeared and diversity politics popped up overnight. Major distraction for the wealth inequality issues and disappearing of the middle class
See, this is the kind of talk I like to hear. Makes me think there's some common ground between me and the average IQfyner politically if we look for it. Like, I don't think 'social justice' issues can be completely ignored, but I think they can't be addressed without addressing the structural issues of capitalism and class.
To go further it would be interesting to see where most of the money for BLM and other “oppressed minorities” goes. I have a hunch most of it goes to those on top

Ok, post your hairy legs and pits and let's get married then.
I actually have posted naked pictures on IQfy before just for fun but I'm not in the mood to do that right now.

LMFAO frick off moronic prostitute.
What, like you wouldn't if you were a girl? Feeling sexy is nice.
So girls have the prostitute gene? What's the moronic point you're trying to make? You can't go against your shitty nature?
Nah, just that there's a lot more interest from men in seeing naked women than vice versa, and if it's anonymous I might as well enjoy having people compliment my body and be thirsty over me. But like I said I'm autistic so probably social norms and strictures don't mean as much to me as they do to others.
>I'm autistic
you're just stupid and some poojeets fapping to your roastie body mean nothing
I mean I'm actually diagnosed autistic.
autism is a gentle euphemism for stupidity
you were mistakenly taught its the same as incurable true diseases so you use it as an excuse for your abhorrent behaviour
Thats great and all but it doesn't really change the fact that for every thoughtful woman, there 15 screaming shitlibs and 15 spergy guys that want a thoughtful woman, ergo we're forced to compromise.
braindead
What interest do women have in men?
I want to be cynical and say money/status, but I don’t think it’s cynical if it’s just true.
This.
The only thing interesting about a woman is her vegana. It is literally the only tool she has to interact with the world. But you will never be one so don't worry about it.
What makes the things that are interesting about a man uninteresting in a woman?
The fact that women can't really do them.
There are psychological sex differences, but they're nowhere near that extreme or categorical.

Interest as human beings. Or at least I do.
How are you defining 'woman' here exactly?
A wordpress link is not an argument b***h. This is why no one takes you seriously.
It's not just the author's opinion, though, they cite sources.
Not. An. Argument.
If citing sources isn't an argument, what is?
You didn't cite any sources, you cited a freely hosted blog. You couldn't even be bothered to copy and paste their argument. Women are as stupid as they are lazy.
>Too lazy to click on a link
>Calls me lazy
>Brings my gender into it
Are all men such stupid buttholes?
Relax anon I'm just kidding. You and I both know you will never be a woman.
>However, it all runs into trouble when we’re talking about transgender people
Yeah, stopped right there. Conflated sex and gender from the start. Oof.
>Conflated sex and gender
This. Sex is a description of physical reality. Gender is just something a pedophile psychiatrist made up in the 50s to justify molesting kids.
Gender is just a synonym for sex lol, the distinction between these words is a 20th century fabrication.
You know John Money's attempt to reassign David Reimer as a girl was based on the notion that gender identity (one's self concept as a man or woman) is fully socially malleable, right? The fact that it failed and David ended up identifying as a boy anyway is evidence that there is some innate aspect to gender identity.
That's great anon but he still molested that kid until he killed himself.
My point is that his beliefs explicitly contradicted those of modern "gender ideology", so I don't see how he's relevant here.
He literally coined the concept.
Say, you aren't a woman by any chance, are you?
>He literally coined the concept.
He coined a use of 'gender' but that doesn't mean that people who use it today believe the same things he did; again the core belief of modern 'gender ideology' (innate/intrinsic gender identity) is directly contradictory to what he believed.
>Say, you aren't a woman by any chance, are you?
Yes, but why's it matter? If what I'm saying is true, it would be equally true if a man were saying it, and if what I'm saying is false, it would be equally false if a man were saying it.
>Yes
No.
It's irrelevant in any case, for the reason I just stated.
If it's irrelevant than why did you answer the question?
You know what just post your silicone breasts bro.
Because you asked.
I don't have implants. You know estrogen causes breast growth, right?
afaik sex referred to the act whilst gender was more of a boilerplate reading. Easily interchangeable. Until people started believing they could erase their birth certificates and start again.
Philosophy not written by women
ya romance tiktok bullshit like sally rooney and colleen hoover
Anything remotely feminist. Weird self-improvement books. YA novels about queers. Teenage Dystopia books. Woo-woo shit is tolerable if it doesn't belong to the previous categories.
What does it mean if a girl reads exclusively Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett?
Neil Gaiman is a pretty good writer, just an insufferable homosexual politically. Terry Pratchett is okay. I'd lean towards an autism diagnosis in that case but I'd cautiously encourage hitting it in that situation.
If she says Siddhartha, The Alchemist and Man's Search for Meaning are her favorite books, is she based or cringe?
The entire shelf only consisting of Bukowski and Vonnegut.
women who like Bukowski are like Drew Barrymore, not a bad thing by many.
Quite rare too since his lesser known poems are about male experience.
>Drew Barrymore
you’re right; exactly what they are. That was my ex exactly, and her shelf. Not my cup of tea after all.
is this board aware and Schopenhauer-pilled that most girls are only into the church for two reasons:
-the superior aesthetics
-men in the family
having a Bible or not does not an absolute in design make
