/his/torically speaking, why did some thinkers and intellectuals such as Spengler, Newton or Nietzsche never marry? Was it high IQ, lack of interest, autism or something else?
>>17986794Imagine a woman willing to spend every day with Oswald Spengler.
Idk but irl I noticed that women unironically love -confident- retards, even ugly retards get married, but super smart men have to hide power levels, high intelligence gives you this "chud" anti-female auraYou can hide it th just act like a confident retard around women
>>17986794Some men are just tied to their purpose too much, too focused on a driven goal (like Carolus Rex being too obsessed with war in order to take some time off to get married)
>>17986794This is /his/, not /r9k/. Also, it's autism.
>>17986804Yeah women hate based people they only like BBC
>>17986915>>17986938>mentions /r9k/>BBC spammers show up in the thread
>>17986794didn't Nietsche propose to Lou Salome multiple times but was rejected and cucked?
>>17986794Spengler's personality has been described by his contemporaries as "permanently morose" so maybe he had the char's dark trial of pessimistic predisposition, depression and aspergers
Intellectual fulfillment outweighs romantic desire.
>>17987314As Borges wrote, there is no pleasure more complex than thinking.
>>17986794Lack of interest, usually. Nietzsche was obviously interested in marriage to some degree, but a lot of these types just care way more about their work and interests than anything else. Cecil Rhodes was the same deal.
>>17987306From what I remember, most of what was said about Nietzsche being obsessed with Salome comes from Salome herself and people who knew her and heard stories about him from her. It really depends on whether you think Salome would lie to make Nietzsche look pathetic, I guess.
>>17986794They simply outgrew the biological imperative. Their minds were too busy rawdogging reality itself to get bogged down in domestic simpery. Marriage is a distraction for people who need a second player for their lifescript RPG. These guys were playing a different game entirely. You think Nietzsche needed a wife when he was busy giving birth to the Übermensch?
>>17987697I don't think it's to make Nietzsche look pathetic, necessarily. The lie is also aggrandizing to her. ("This great philosopher was absolutely obssesed with me!")Iirc, Cecil Rhodes dealt with a similar problem where he had a female stalker that made up shit about being angaged to him and such.
