Paper says reading fiction books helps attract females. Warning: Peterson is a co-author.

[Knajjd]

It uses the phrase "social support" which I thing means finding a female.

Partial abstract reads:

Extending these results, we also found that exposure to fiction
was positively correlated with social support. Exposure to nonfiction, in
contrast, was associated with loneliness, and negatively related to social
support.

Well, I've read plenty fiction books and it's not made any difference at all.

Psychological research is a scam like most things

 

[calimero]

I think because normies read fiction to relax and cels read more high IQ stuff like papers

Are you scouting JBP's publications?

 

[Cuckoja]

Its more like lonely men look for answers and are more interested in non fiction.

I would put exactly zero stock into this. You've highlighted the most dubious part of this already: "social support."

I didn't click on this paper, but do you know how they define that?

 

[The Notorious SLAV]

I've been heavily getting back into reading fiction, especially from local authors since my country has finally managed to start producing some books worth reading in the last 5-10 years.

Where pussy???

 

[Knajjd]

Are you scouting JBP's publications?

No. I've just read a book called, Stolen Focus Why You Can't Pay Attention by Johann Hari and he had a few paragraphs on Raymond A Mar. I looked up the paper and it was co-authored by Peterson and another.

The book mentions a kSafe so I've bought one to put my router in it. Going to set it from 6 pm to 8 am weekdays and maybe all weekend. It's a strong plastic box and reviews say lock can't be tampered with.

I dont the see the correlation at all even without reading the article

From reading fiction we learn empathy and how to react to others and this in turn make us more able to interact with people.

There is no direct definition but I infer, from the sentence below, that it means a social group of friends, family, partners and such who provide company, support and intimacy.

Specifically, we investigate correlates pertaining to social network size, social support, loneliness, and depression.

Then all it's saying that social circle maxxing increases your odds of finding a girlfriend. Nothing new or useful. Water tier.

How does fiction teach u empathy? Still doesnt make sense i dont think if i ever tell a woman hey i read fiction books she will think oh he must have empathy.

I think they argue if we read fiction we learn how to behave better when we talk to people. Don't tell the female you read fiction books but from reading fiction books you'll be able to communicate better with her because you've read stories about people interacting in similar scenarios.

That's my understanding but I don't believe it anyway. It's facial bones that count in my book

Search for Mar and you can hear the interview. He has two with Mar.

Plenty other interviews on there with researchers on the topic of how to improve focus and clarity of mind.

They are saying if we read story books we can be better CircleMaxxers.

I don't believe it either. Along with shower, clean your room, join a gym they've added "read more fiction".

Great now we are going to have redpill normies read books to attract females

 

[Robb97]

Isn't it brutal to read novels of sex havers that had interesting lives, relationships with women and were respected by other men?

Maybe if you read sad stories it's a slightly better cope?

Idk man it seems like you need a bluepilled mindset to enjoy fiction. I have fully accepted that it is over for my facial bones and that the blackpill dictates all social interactions between humans. If I read about some tall gl sexhaver, how is that a good cope? It feels like I'm a subhuman in a deep pit that gets a glimpse into the colorful lives of normal people. But I'm reminded everytime I close the book, that those experiences were not meant for subhumans like myself, who live on a lower level of existence compared to the normies above.

Doesn't it feel cucked if you're happy for the protagonist when he's able to fuck prime jb pussy while you're reading a book alone?

I can't see how reading novels is a good cope for someone who is fully blackpilled.

 

[Linesnap99]

no fiction for your FACE
