Why aren't men reading?

They could improve themselves because literature challenges the mind, fosters empathy, and offers perspectives far richer than the shallow rage echoed in hateful online communities. Trading algorithm-fed bitterness for thoughtful reflection can transform not just how they see the world, but how the world sees them.

Reading fiction slop like women rots your brain. Only reading manuals for your job and such builds your brain.

its viewed as unproductive everything circles around money these days

>>82107421 (OP)
Does reading fan fiction count?

>>82107421 (OP)
Literacy rates in Amerika have been declining and schools tend to just move everyone to the next grade until they are out of the state's custody.
>>82107452
When you watch TV do you only watch nature documentaries or something?

>>82107478
All TV is slop. Are you illiterate? I think you've read too many horse bestiality fan fiction novels that women read because its made you into an illiterate autistic retard insect with no reasoning capacity.

>>82107485
>horse bestiality out of nowhere

>>82107421 (OP)
I read Houellebecq, D'Annunzio, Celinne, Mishima etc. Do you really think foids will love them?

>>82107494
No its from browsing the top 50 womens lit books on Barnes and Noble. All horse bestiality. Don't be a scared illiterate cockroach insect turdwhore retard just because you feel dominated.

>>82107452
Do you really think smut is the only thing women read, or that it's the only genre out there. Why are you basing it all around 40-year-old single moms, that's the demographic for those books.

>>82107505
Nah, the data is available stop trying to seem intelligent you can't pull it off sugar tits. 99.99% of books women read are about alien animal cock impregnation cum guzzling gangbang fetish open relationship vampire trillionaires.

Don't hyperfixate autistically like a rancid retarded tudwhore on the 0.01% that read other normal books.

>>82107509
It's either that or books meant for 7th graders.

>>82107503
Everyone, this is your brain on (((gender wars))). Please don't be like this poster

I am not even a woman, are you retarded?

>>82107521
If you keep looking up from your 4th grade reading level horsecock book you'll miss the juicy lines.

>>82107527
You seem to know a whole lot about these fetish books and what they contain.

>>82107546
Talking like that only works on your dad because he had access to your pretty throat, baby girl. Nobody buy the guys whose anal seepage you lick up are going to slather you in praise for being a heckin sassy queen when you desperately try to appear intelligent after reading a dozen horsecock bestial fetish novels written without any compound sentences.

>Why aren't men reading?
From 7am to 4:50pm every weekday, my life is taken up by work and work-related activities. From 4:50pm to 9:20pm, I have around 4h to spend on myself. I'm not going to waste them reading a book when I can watch a movie, play vidya, exercise and mess about with computers. I already have too little time for the activities I enjoy doing.
I read a lot of car/computer magazines as a kid. I'm absolutely not illiterate and I speak two languages fluently. I don't need to read fiction slop to be cultured and there's nothing about books that is intellectually superior to watching a good movie or documentary. It's like saying listening to music on vinyl disks is a superior way of consuming music compared to playing digital files on a phone/computer.

Before horse cock lover derails the thread further, what material would women like to see men read? What would men like to see women read?

>>82107568
This is the same bitch I caught out earlier for having sex with her dad and reading horsecock fetish fiction.

>Why aren't men reading?
I haven't read a book from cover to cover in 7 years and still have a gf.

>>82107568
as a guy who reads and writes, I don't see why you should seek a woman's opinion on what to read and write on they will find a problem with you and it anyway.
Its all about the guy they want reading things not the other way around.
Get a library card and wander around the library and read whatever they have, some of them even have comics and manga at least in my city i read an ENTIRE xmen storyline which is basically impossible to do with regular comics because they are split like anthologies along with a bunch of really good books there.

>>82107607
I love the manga section in my library, I was able to read yotsuba
>>82107558
Okay man, whatever you say lol. You are obsessed with horsecock it seems.

>American education system kills my childhood love of reading
>eventually lose the ability to enjoy books at all
>years pass
>recently find a biography about a band I like
>author shoves his ham-fisted political opinions into it completely unwarranted
I let my guard down one time and got burned. Back to anime

>>82107621
This bitch is reading horsecock suba XD lmao suckin off her dad between chapters

>>82107627
The reason you find his reasonable political opinions to be unsavory is because your brain deteriorated from not reading. If you were literate and intelligent still you would have agreed with him.

>>82107632
Aw man, I got rage baited. Good one. I admit defeat.

>>82107621
i found dai dark and akira manga in mine
the akira manga is lightyears ahead of the anime btw the anime sucks the hairiest poopiest part of my butt by comparison.
There is a scene where a muscle moomy absolutely mollywops madmax bandits with a panzerfaust. She literally beats the shit out of them with it like a bat

>>82107656
I have heard of Akira but you've just sold me, I will read it next time I have a chance.

>>82107664
yeah, i never used to like anime but since the library had manga i read it, i thought they were just backwards comics at the time.
I read so much manga during those span of years and alot of books too, I even started imagining my own setting to write stuff in based on all the cool ideas i read.
After akira you should read desert punk and gunm alita battle angel.

>>82107421 (OP)
i wonder what wahmen are reading ...lmao

>>82107421 (OP)
most people in general don't read books because they're too dumb
the average person reads at the level of a 10 year old, most books are literally too complex for them

>>82107735
I bet she could pull 10 fallacies out of a hat to harass men with, regardless of the fact that she never actually read a book.

men are reading. But they're not reading contemporary LGBTQ crap, which is 99% of what gets published now.

>>82107641
Kindly kill yourself, if you would. Hiding this thread, don't bother replying to this

>>82107421 (OP)
You mean why aren't American men reading. The answer is that the country's specific form of brainwashing has led men to seek politicized masculinity by not doing what women do.
You'll notice men stop studying majors when women start studying them, you'll see fucktards on xitter saying shit like "if you eat ice cream you're not a man", men becoming right-wing because they know left-wing politics favor policies women need (such as reproductive health), etc.
And because women now have money and the right to behave like humans, that means the pool of things "real men" can do keeps getting smaller.

>>82107980
yuropoor cope, didn't read.

OP I read code all day

>>82108023
>didn't read
Because you're American.

>>82107980
TRVKE
the best thing to do is not identify with anything and do whatever you feel like anyway
unless you want to be dragged into xitter,genderbaiting, politicing brainrot that has an effect on even the people that use this board...somehow?

>>82107421 (OP)
videogames are also healthy for the brain, dont feel like an intellectual cuz you read

>>82107421 (OP)
the majority of modern literature is just completely unappealing to me. theres a few good series like a song of ice and fire but like when i go to the bookstore or library and go through the fiction section its all shit like james patterson slop and a court of thorns or whatever its called. i miss reading i enjoyed a lot of books like fahrenheit 451 and 1984 when i was younger i read the shit out of dystopian fiction and shit like catcher in the rye and the call of the wild but i mean who the fuck has time to read anymore when you gotta work 50 hours a week?

>>82108273
> few good series like a song of ice and fire
yeah i just know you have a nice ol dangler on ya, i used to listen to hours of SOIAF theory videos driving to work everyday
My library actually has his stuff, my library is right next to my old highschool so i think maybe they hold off on all the gay shit because a school is right there but i did see a dumbass book about losing your virginity in the teen section...grim.
>gotta work 50 hours a week
those were some dog days for me lol couldn't read shit after coming home covered in cement but i ended up listening to audiobooks and started consuming lightnovels this way.
now that im an unemployed bum i go to the library after school is done

>>82108322
i would listen to audiobooks if they didnt cost so much so usually now i just go to the library on my time off. i been trying to get back into reading. ive been reading this one authors books, gillian flynn. sharp objects was such a good fucking book, its a shame she only ever wrote 3 cause shes honestly a great fucking author and i like her style of thrillers. im working on dark places rn

>>82108367
>i would listen to audiobooks if they didnt cost so much
huh? i pirated them or listened to them of my Spotify premium.
I've never heard of the stuff you mentioned doe sorry. i mostly read slop like Battletech Novels, Comics, Manga, eigthy six light novel and the occasional peak like Dune, SOIAF and Red rising

i don't watch a lot of tv or movies either.

>>82107421 (OP)
I read, though
I have The Turner Diaries and The Culture of Critique

>>82107421 (OP)
Reading about quantum physics is just not a very worthwhile endevaor when the people around you don't have the capacity nor ambition to understand anything more complicated than what weather we're having today.

>>82107641
>you would have agreed with him.
You dont even know what the opinion was dumbass
>baited

>>82107421 (OP)
Because reading is boring as fuck

>>82108852
Every literate and intelligent opinion is leftwing. People who disagree with them prefer anime. Simple as.

>>82107421 (OP)
Why the fuck would I read anything when so much BBC porn exists? I could spend the next 1000 years just enjoying porn and never have to open a boring ass book.

>>82108919
disagree with whomst? anime is left wing by default. you can't be an anime fan and also be conservative.

>>82108978
all anime is ultraright nazi garbage. im not asking im telling you how it is keep up. simple as.

Right wingers will claim the most anticapitalist media is right wing just because they found it cool. Don't bother.

>>82107421 (OP)
what am i even supposed to read? i dont like fiction a lot, or i guess, i do, just not books very much
i like lovecraft, i think he's a good writer, but i cant imagine theres much good english stuff out there, not only is the language subpar, americans and the english have such warped, corrupted morals, obsessions over sex, and just disgust me most of the time
i dont want to read some authors retarded cuck plot either, nor their child sex orgy or some other retarded american thing
also im a tranny so i can relate to about 0% of any book i end up reading

>>82107452
More or less this. Reading nonfiction is best for your brain but reading classics, existential, postmodern, philosophical literature is the next best thing if you hate boring dry stuff. Women rarely read either, which is why they're stupid enough to write articles like in the OP.

>>82109532
what's your native language?
I wonder how you can see an entire language as bad

All this for women to read gay furry rape smut
