Great minds can easily get laid you fool

A great mind would at least acquire the services of a prostitute.

Here is the full quote: “To be alone is the fate of all great minds—a fate deplored at times, but still always chosen as the less grievous of two evils.”

Judging that you don't have a choice to be in your predicament, you are not alone because you have a great mind, but because there's something off-putting about you. Consider putting work into yourself to acquire charm and confidence.

I'm a virgin too. The reason is simple: women. If women were to desire men like me, then I would have a wife. How do we do this; the way is this: culture change. Women desiring who they desire is nurtured, simple. Everyone go on Twitter to Tumblr dressed as women and proclaim "virgin boys, manchildren too, these are the best suitors for women such as me."

Cope. Women desire your bones. Chads are genetic, not cultural.

I meant objectively. If by "great minds" he didn't mean literal geniuses then I wouldn't count. Genius means different things to some people, for whatever reason.

It states that being a great mind means being alone. Fine. However, it does not state that being alone means being a great mind.

This is basic logic.

Same here. It seems that most people do not like being alone while a select few enjoy it. Why is this? Is it a matter of intelligence? Social conditioning? Personality? Creativity?

Here's another nugget from Shopie on the same topic.

"Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them."

All you have is comforting excuses. There are clinical retards, for example, people with down syndrome, who fuck, get married, have kids, are in love etc. You don't REALLY WANT what you say you want. You enjoy the idea. You're too afraid to try. If you ACTUALLY wanted to, you could find a girlfriend, someone you love, perhaps a one night fling tonight, but you wont, you know you won't, I know you won't, everyone knows you won't. Why not try?
