are you a girl? or is this a gay thread

Well from my experience, doesn't matter how many books a man read, that doesn't mean he's witty enough about life nor elevate himself as a good man.

I don't think this is a good benchmark to define someone's personality tho.

Although I agree that you can try to decipher someone by looking at the things he do when he's free, but putting it solely on the numbers of books he read per week doesn't really provide solid perceptions.

For example, I love reading when I was in high school. I bought a lot of books, borrowed a lot too. But as I grow up I've read lesser books. It doesn't mean I'm far different than I am when I was a teenager, but things change, I adapt to new technologies and ways of life. I read lesser books now, but I talk to many different people about many different subjects. I also read up articles and news online while mixing around with many different people and listens to many different stories.

I think I'm absorbing informations effectively in these 'new' ways as much as i did while I'm reading books. I can sit down and watch a 3 hour movie without fidgeting, much as I can spend 3 days carefully reading a book i really love.


I'm not opposing your ideas of how you want to choose your men. I'm just simply presenting the idea that perspectives are subjective. I agree with you but there are other things that you may want to consider apart from a solid list of how you want things to be.


Cheers
