Men who read
(media.scored.co)
The percentage of the general population who still reads is below 1%. In my generation (Z) it may be lower than 0.5. Men don't read at all, and the few women who do read just consume pulp fiction or smut. Or fucking fanfiction, which is both rolled into one. No joke, fanfiction is probably more widely read among my generation than actual published works.
On the upside, this means that if you do read, you can be sure that you are genuinely exceptional. And please DO read. Video essays on YouTube or podcasts are not substitutes.

Right. Tell her you have a PhD. You can literally make shit up if you sell it with enough confidence. WTF does she know?
my go-to was that i said i was a gravity inspector, and i'd drone on about how i worked with USGS and it was really important work... that i'd disappear for weeks at a time for world travel, have to go skydiving with a wingsuit over volcanoes with a bunch of sensors strapped to my body. just sell it with enough confidence.
and i smashed like a fucking warlord.
> wait, after all i've told you, you still don't believe me? here, come back to my place and you can even see the suit.
like shooting fish in a barrel
