You included the history of warfare in the list of subjects that only women and gay men would enjoy reading. Surely you are trolling?

Yeah... I'm really confused by this assumption that straight males (or anyone, really) only want to read books about getting laid and making money.
There's plenty of PUA literature out there. Maybe he hasn't discovered it yet, or he'd be complaining about being a beta male.

Me too, but if it were true it would, in one fell swoop, explain my awful dating history and absolve me of all blame regarding said history. However, it would also be a disappointment because I'm still seeking a man who reads because he wants to read, not for the purpose of "getting laid and making money".

Well if the first part is true, then a good many women may/are on here reading this idiocy, and if you espouse the same garbage to women you meet whether gay or straight, it would definitely explain why you need Playboy, Penthouse, and any other porn magzines that you can get your hands on! You would be better served reading for entertainment & getting a freakin job!

Exactly. We hetero men LOVE books on war. Past wars. Fictional wars. Fictional takes on past wars. Future wars. Preparing for war. Living with war. War is hell. War is good. War is bad (ok, that's one for the women and the gays)

And what real man needs books on how to get laid? Books depicting sex, sure. But if you need tips on how to get there....well...

I don't think I'd fancy buying a straight man in any market, let alone an ereader market.

lol, I'm not into beekeeping ATM but I have considered it. I have been reading a number of ebooks concerning artisan bread making though, the formatting is atrocious of course but they are "readable" on my kindle.

I prepare myself for the real world of smells by breathing through my mouth, not reading a book.

But I'm not a straight man.
