>>19380825Even for intelligent people in relationships, they tend to have bad experiences.
>abstractionabstraction falls very very far outside of physical attraction. It is not behavior that is rewarded. Unfortunately, intelligent people tend to love abstraction and abstract concepts. They love studying about obscure domains. This makes it hard to connect in relationships because it's like trying to pair bond an alien with a regular human. Most people who think or are intelligent are like minds that own a body, while most people are bodies, they don't even think half the time, they just feel and experience and act on impulse. Most people just aren't spending the insane time intelligent people spend on thinking and abstract concepts and yapping in fucking 4chan about relationships, especially women. The majority of these regular people view connecting as physical intimacy. Touching each other and "having fun", going out to eat together, that's their definition of intimacy. Intelligent people crave a mental intimacy, like a merging of two databases - where they share what their thinking and have been thinking of, and compare it with what someone else has been thinking.
Women just cannot be bothered with what an intelligent person has been thinking about, there's no connection. They'd rather go ride a motorcycle and cuddle to a movie. Try bringing up a calabi yau manifold to any chick and watch her eyes glaze over. Intelligent people in relationships enter this dilemma where they want to spend their time reading Schopenhauer and programming, and the chick wants to wake up and go to the mall. This ends up with a relationship where the chick feels like they're dating a spy who's always doing something in complete isolation with headphones on. and it typically ends after that. And then they find some James bond type (impulsive, reckless, violent) and get with him because he stimulates them.
