#bookworms #reaction #reactingto
I'm a bookworm...I keep proffessing my love under the rain but, so far, there are no takers. That's why I hang around bus stops and train stations when it rains. Cause I'm also very patient. đ
I'm shutting up now.
"they also know when to shut up"
me after spending 30 min talking with my mom about my favorite book knowing that she won't read and she don't care: đđđ
đđ¶
Why is this me exactly?
This is so true...
Me: hiding in my room, under a blanket, with a coffee, and two cats⊠I am not a stereotype! đđâïžđđââŹđâš
Oh no, darling, we're definitely not đ»âđ§žđđ
âThereâs a picture of a bookâŠIn case you donât know what a book isâŠâ đ
Bookworm on Tender: "Please don't include pictures of your book collection without its duck jacket. Yes, I like seeing what a book looks like naked when its appropriate, but not on a dating app. We can get into stuff like that later. I just want to make sure there is a spark between us first."
Hah. I read books because I love it when someone else gets adventurous and I can read about it while I'm safe in bed with my blankie and nightlamp đ.
Reading this comment in bed, under blankie, with nightlamp đ
*Sometimes* they are not [losers]. - accurate
I relate to 4 out of the ten. Bookworms could be sociopaths learning how to emulate human behaviours that or they're aliens in human form...
"Bookworms like to do adventurous things like skydive"
I literally skydive most weekends. Always bring a good book for an extended weather hold or just between lifts.
đđ I read a lot but liking silence and being creative are the only ones that apply to me. My partner and I love staying in one room while I read and he plays computer games âșïž
As soon as you said âbookworms are patientâ I immediately thought of the kingkiller chronicle situation đ Iâm not leaving 1 star reviews but Iâm very impatient when it comes to waiting for the next installment of a series
the whole time you were reading the patience thing i was thinking "I just skim it. If it's boring I skim!!"
Okay here's mine:
1. Adventure--I would say yes. My hubby and I love going to new places and trying new things and foods and events. We also LOVE road trips! The difference between us though--he is extroverted and I am the classically introverted bookworm. So I'm fine with putting myself out there and doing fun and new things, BUT I have to have it planned, so I can mentally prepare myself for it. I hate being thrown into things on a whim. And my hubby would be totally fine with that.
2. Romantic--this one is hard, because I'm not really a romantic at all. I can really take or leave romance in real life. BUT, I do sometimes love reading rom-coms, and those put me in a mushy mood, and sometimes they do give me some ideas for the bedroom...so I'd say this is maybe half true?
3. Problem solver--this one I would say yes, and it does make a little sense. Reading does teach you a lot. It honestly depends on what you're reading though. I wouldn't assume every bookworm is a problem solver.
4. Expressing myself--to people I know and love, this is probably true, and I'm sure reading does help that a little...but again, BIG INTROVERT! I am not great at expressing myself to people I don't know well or strangers.
5. Patient--UH....not really.
6. They tell good stories--I think this is mostly true....but its hard to be subjective
7. Silent--Yes, totally agree with this!
8. Great listener--Ummm....yes, but not always. Sometimes I get lost in lala land and forget what's going on around me. I have to have my hubby repeat himself often.
9. Loyal--this is very true for me, I'm always loyal to those I love (but, if they became a serial killer or something of course I'd be jumping ship). I don't think its a bookworm trait though. Just how I am.
10. Creative--very true for me, and with dating too. I do come up with lots of creative fun things for us to do, or different ways to celebrate birthdays, etc. But I'm not sure if that's cuz I'm a bookworm or that's just how I am.
Thanks for this video, it was very funny. My hubby and I both watched it, and it cracked us up!
I'm a life-long non-social (but not anti-social) recluse, so many of these points don't apply to me. However, I admit to being an internal romantic. Maybe too much so. However, romanticism never makes its way to my outward self. In public, I'm a clown, both goofus and doofus. (On those rare occasions I venture out with my brother, he often cautions me to not embarrass him.)
Yay!!! Welcome back Elli
Love this video!
Silence, alone time, blankie and my dog, being able to listen. I can relate to theseđ
You have the best video ideas
Awesome vid lool so true. Also your eyes sparkle brighter than any diamond I've seen !
These cut-aways are hilarious!
You did such a great job with this, so funny đ
I only related to two of these! Also every time I watch your videos it makes me want to go do my hair and makeup!
I feel like the author has a very specific person in mind đ§ đđ¶ïž
This video was absolutely hilarious. Thank you so much for giving us this gem đ
đđ€Gawwwwww this frames are so beautiful. My little guy sat on mine so im flying solo.but regardless who ever gets them will look fabulous .thanks for always picking up quality sponsors
Loved this video! It was so fun and made me actually lol đ đ đ đ đ
My favorite quote from Pulp Fiction: "That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the f*** up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence."
0:06 the pin cushion Iâm deadđđ
These we so funny! đ Maybe there should be a follow up.... what to do to attract the attention of a bookworm!!! đ
This was hilarious đ what an article, the assumptions made
The comedy bits are pure gold omgoshđđđ
Your skit đ€Ł đđ» the poor soul just needs a bookwormâŠthank goodness this article can point them in the right direction đ great content, as always đâš
This was such a wild ride. Iâd like to meet the bookworm that actually fits all (or even most) of these đ
I am definitely not super romantic (I can be a little bit sometimes), I am *horrible* at expressing my emotions (much to my husbandâs chagrin), and I suck at telling stories because I ramble. Iâd like to underline the concept that just because you consume something doesnât mean you know how to make it. If I love paintings and look at/buy them all the time, Iâll know more about painting than the average person but Iâll still probably be worse at actually painting than someone whoâs taken a beginner painting class. Same concept with books.
I also love the âproblem solvingâ one. Makes me think of someone whoâs read so much fantasy that now they can pick locks, climb up walls, and sword fight.
đ
This was a sweet blog post, but I agree with you. Except for the part about being able to sit in silence, I am not sure those apply to me either. I am definitely not the person to go to if you want to try sky diving! lol
I'm feeling pretty flattered by all that that blog post says I am đ
Your video had me laughing quite a bit. I can't do a Rubix cube to save my life and I feel like I am the worst at telling stories. đ
Oh gosh Iâm so impatient and not adventurous. I like to sit inside which is why I read books lol
The stock photo use is so silly and funny. đ
Me telling about my day: "It was fine"
Book and coffee date in a coffee shop is always enjoyable for bookworms! đ
The silence one....maybe the adventure one. The patience one is a joke, two days my other half had to hear a rather long rant about me being stuck in a series that won't see another book for a year at least. The whole "good listener" would be dependent on if there is a book in front of me or not.
Haha đ these types of generalizations are always so entertaining! đđđ however people with all different personalities are bookworms! Lol
Trying to decide if I should link the blog post or this video in my dating profile⊠both? Iâll add both
JK but the more you said âthe bookwormâ or âyour bookwormâ I totally started picturing an actual worm with a hat and monocle that was a wonderful companion đ
Literally drinking tea and have both of my cats by my side as I watch this...
đ Man, you are spot on! đ€Ł Besides liking silence, the only thing I can think of that all bookworms might have in common is being able to be alone long chunks of time without needing attention, and being very easy to get gifts for (take me to a bookstore and let me pick anything! *swoon*). And if that's all you want in a partner... Could probably just get a cat and be equally as happy. LOL.
I mean, I WISH we learned up all of that stuff through reading like osmosis. I would love to be as witty as Abercrombie. Alas, I'm still as awkward and bumbling in conversation as I was when I was 12... Books just help me pretend that I'm not. ;D
7/10 đđŒđđŒ
The pincushion đ€Ł
I relate to being adventurous personally LOL I have always liked trying stuff like that. I scuba dive, and river raft.. I want to skydive too soon... If only I could get my husband on board haha
I don't really relate to being romantic though HAHA Reading to each other sounds like TORTURE... reading out loud in general is the worst haha and I have to read to my kids and that isn't even that bad
i am NOT patient haha I wish I was, I try to be... I am terrible
The long arduous process of courting? What year are we in? I'm the bookworm over here with my tea and kitties, being antisocial and awkward. I like hiking and exploring and I have gone river rafting (a long time ago) but I wouldn't say I am super adventurous. My husband and I are both introverted and good at the mutual silence. Your little acting bits were cracking me up.
I think if I was looking at just the titles of each thing I would agree with them. I am loyal (if you've earned it) and creative and able to tell a good story (but I'm not a writer). I do like silence, but that's more since I've had kids and never get it. I also like romance and adventure... in my books. And I like to think I'm a good problem solver... đ€ It's the "reason" for each item where it loses me. It's weird. This feels like it was written by someone who is not a bookworm about stereotypes of bookworms. I mean those titles could apply to anyone.
Hi! Wanted to comment on the points:
1. Adventure - definitely no. Same as you, pretending and imagining is usually as far as I go.
2. Romantic - no, don't think I am. Especially not grand gesture things.
3. Problem solver - no especially, and I don't think it has anything to do with books.
4. Expressing emotions - yes, that one is true.
5. Patience - as with point 3, not especially.
6. Storytelling - nope, I always digress and meander when telling a story. And add either too much detail or forget important ones.
7. Silence and reading together - yes, true. Doing things separately but together is always great.
8. Listening - not specifically, again. We read stories we find interesting, the same with listening.
9. Loyalty - uff, how often have readers turned on authors? Loyalty to fandom and books/worlds - maybe, yes, but again not more than an average person.
10. Creativity - no, definitely not. Very basic - walk in the park, movies, grabbing a coffee somewhere etc. An escape room or a picnic is as far as my creativity with dates goes, LOL.
2/10 agreed
3/10 to some extent maybe?
Overall agreed, sweet but a little sad.
Thank you for making a lovely video :) Your channel is definitely creative.
so, I got 7 points, which is not bad at all! though I wouldn't say that I am those things because I am a reader...
I am for sure patient, but I still refuse to start series that are unfinished most of the time (sometimes I am still doing it, but it is rar, and I am for sure not reading the kingkiller chronicles until it is finished (and booktubers I trust gave it a better rating than book 2 )
This is so funny some of them i agree with but most of them are hilarious đ i also very much prefer to stay inside away from people with my cat and my tea and my book and my blanket đđ§Ą
đ feels both offended and called out by the stereotypes
Buying unicorn mugs is precious lol
đđđ€Łđso cute you rock! Not just because you love Sandersonâs work and talk about itâŠ
Na really cute besides.
OK Iâm pretty sure Iâve posted part of this before, but it really fits here. I met my husband when we were both in the Army in Korea in 1988. It was actually while the 88 Olympics were going on. Once we started dating and going to the military hotel on the weekends (the Naija if you were there before it was torn down) he found out I hadnât read Lord of the Rings yet though I had copies of the books. I had read The Hobbit. He read me LOTR. It was then I truly fell in love with him and started thinking he was THE ONE. He had already graduated from college with his first degree and supported and talked about my desire to go to college after I got out of the Army. I had gone in when I was 18. Other guys I had dated had brushed me off or were puzzled by why Iâd want to go to college when I could either get married or stay in the Army. I recently had a conversation with a woman in a bookstore, Bookmanâs here in Tucson, who had to sneak her books into the house because her husband was very much a non reader. I could see she was envious of the almost full shopping cart of books I had and was continuing to add to. I told the young man who drove me there was no way I could have married a non reader. That young man asked me to read a book with him because he is trying to improve himself and get his GED. He chose LOTR. We often watch the movies together and play LOTR Trivial Pursuit. But there was a snag for a while. His then girlfriend was very non supportive of him reading around her to the point heâd come over here and read. Of course that caused problems too. They broke up not long ago. I think his desire to continue his education and become a reader played a part in the breakup. I know the saying is that opposites attract, but I truly feel if you are too opposite you wonât last. My husband and I can read in companionable silence, read to each other or have long conversations about books, movies, games and pop culture. We each understand a request to not talk because we are at a really good part of the book or reading the last few pages. Weâve lasted 33 years. Books brought us together, books have been a large part of our lives together and I know they will continue to.
*As a funny aside we once came back from the Naija on a Sunday afternoon. They had done a Health and Welfare Inspection Saturday night. An H&W is just an excuse to look for drugs and find couples sleeping together, a no-no in the barracks. They were still writing up Article 15âs (administrative punishment, usually fairly mild) and building tougher cases, like the 2 men they caught together, this was well before even âDonât Ask, Donât Tellâ and they were both put out of the Army unfortunately. Male/female couples simply got an Article 15. It was no secret we were dating so when the officers and NCOs saw us come in they said they had thought they would catch us too. Of course this led to teasing about what we had been doing when we said weâd been at the Naija. We commented later that they would probably have been more scandalized that a fair portion of the weekend was just us laying in bed with him reading to me.
Ehhh I donât like romance genre. Iâm not a romantic person myself either. I do feel uncomfortable with expressing things in a romantic way too unless Iâm a character in a play. Thatâs the difference. đđ
Personally I skim quickly through boring parts. I guess I donât have any patience. Lol. đ€ż I am sharing a snorkel image bc I have to use vision-correction snorkel goggles or I canât see the fish.
Eh, this video was fun, but the article was clearly a junk one made primarily to drive traffic. đ
Getting ready to send this to my fiancee to remind him what I catch I am lol đ đ
đ This was hilarious to watch with my husband listening and discussing how true or false they were. đ Companionable silence is the best!
oohh....im definitely NOT creative at all.....hihi but its fun to know
I'm crying what the heck đ
I'm not good with expressing myself :D
lol I cant wait to send this to my partner so they can laugh at the inaccuracies (pretty much like Elle said, alot of this, tho nice, really dont translate haha)
I'm a bookworm- also, I'm a non-romantic who likes to read romance...
a guy I used to work with said him and his wife would sit in bed reading a book together. Like one book but each reading it, and I guess they'd have to wait for the other one to turn the page!?!?!? I could never lol.
I relate to 6/10.
Iâm sorry the adventure part, I do like exploring and traveling but anything to do with my life being in danger is a hard NO. Lol. Also do t like sitting or standing in rain đđŒ. Some of these are silly like I am creative but not with my words. Thatâs why I like reading to escape. And I always read about war or disaster or apocalypse because Iâd never want to live through that. Itâs such a surface level little article but it was entertaining listening to you talk about it. At least it does come from a good place. And I do have a pet (2 doggos) and a blanket when I read so I guess it we are a little stereotypical
i think the one about not minding silence is probably is the only one grounded in some sort of reality, the others seem like a lot of BS, great vid :-D
We concur đ€©Great Video and channel đđœ
This blog post told me I'm a bad bookworm XD

I will tell you one thing: I am NOT going skydiving. No maâam. Hahahahaha! đ
A unicorn mug! Oh my...That turns me on.... đđŠ
I have a general opinion about other people's generalizations. đ
there's not a chance in hell i'd do rafting or skydiving! i like reading adventure stories e x a c t l y bc i know i have full control over my experience and if i don't enjoy any of it i can just stop by closing the book. i wonder if horror or sci fi bookworms who haven't ever read pride & prejudice or the notebook are as romantic as this article describes. if reading books made me into a problem solver i'd just go solve all of my problems and stop escaping from them into imaginary worlds. if i find some parts of the book i'm reading uneventful i can just skim read them or skip them altogether. we're all suffering from the same media induced attention span shortage nowadays and bookworms are no different just bc their preferred media are books. so, no patience there. i wish books taught me how to spin a tale or express myself through words or to be more creative but i'm afraid it's not how it works. instead i stick to my boring routine which i LOVE and spend my days in silence - which, yes, i do love as well.
like,, there's no connection between being into reading and any of these traits? where does the author have their data from? do they identify as a bookworm themselves? sure doesn't look like it since the entire article sounds like they're pitching a weird alien race as dating partners - and really mismarketing it at that. the one about being great listeners especially sounds like "people don't pay as much attention to you as you think you deserve? try dating a bookworm! they're weirdos with low self-esteem who are used to taking in lots of verbal schlock so they wouldn't be able to say no to you".
anyways this is by far the weirdest and funniest article you've ever reviewed on this channelđ
Iâm not listening, Iâm trying to read my book. Shhhhshh.
Problem solver đđđ
I'd rather read a book and leave the problems for tomorrow!
When I moved to my new place, I couldn't get the dishwasher working. A year later (and about 50 books), I'm still washing my dishes by hand đ
I wouldn't say all book lovers are anti social. Take one look at the Twitter reading community you'll see a huge diversity of readers. A lot of the ones I know aren't at all.
Yeah, we're creative. . .I am not. I only write things!!!
I do not support J.K. Rowling but I will forever love Harry Potter!!đȘđ
I just finished a (nonfiction) book about nuclear accidents so yeah I didn't want to be in the middle of *that* action. The writer seems to assume everyone reads fiction I guess... And "they can express themselves"???? Hell no!
...There are a lot of generalizations/stereotypes in this list.
This article is so backhanded đđ
đđ€đ¶đ
Ask the guy out on a date alreadyâŠ
I mean, listen youâre always gonna have issues when you generalize but I feel like these are all pretty bad lol. Every one of these Iâm like uhhh nope, no, nuh uh.
This is such an odd list. It almost sounds like it was written by someone who isn't a reader..
Ew, I stopped at romance.
Reading aloud would quickly dissolve into silly voices and bad accents for me. Not exactly romantic...
The real reason to date a book worm? If you have your own solitary hobby that helps you unwind. I am not a gamer, but my husband likes to play video games for a few hours a week. No problem! I have a book!
The comedy bits are pure gold omgoshđđđ
