It is in Andrew Roberts' Napoleon: A Life.
Also:
>He steeled himself to embark on a social life for the first time, although he wasn't comfortable in the company of women. This might in part have been because of his looks; a woman who met him several times that spring called him "the thinnest and queerest being I ever met... so thin that he inspired pity". Another nicknamed him "Puss-in-boots". The socialite Laure d'Abrantes, who knew Napoleon at this time, though probably not as well as she later claimed in her bitchy memories, remember him "with a shabby round hat drawn over the collar of his grey greatcoat, without gloves because he used to say they were a useless luxury, with boots ill-made and ill-blackened, with his thinness and his sallow complexion."
>By July 12 he was trying to persuade himself that he was ovee Désirée [A girl who had rejected him], railling to Joseph against the effeminacy of men who were interested in women.
>On St. Helena he defined love as "the occupation if the idle man, the distraction of the warrior, the stumbling block of the sovereign", and told one of his entourage: "Love does not really exist. It's an artificial sentiment born of society".

It's almost as though Napoleon were plotting out his own life. The situation mirrors the one with Josephine when he was in Italy, and with Maria Luisa when he was in Elba. Both times he was cucked and left forlorn.

>Was Napoleon Actually Short?
>https://www.history.com/news/napoleon-complex-short
>One of the world’s most instantly recognizable cultural icons, Napoleon Bonaparte is usually depicted with one hand in his waistcoat—and short and aggressive. His supposedly small stature and fiery temper has inspired the term the Napoleon Complex, a popular belief that short men tend to compensate for their lack of height through domineering behavior and aggression.
>In fact, he was probably of average height. According to pre–metric system French measures, he was a diminutive 52. But the French inch (pouce) of the time was 2.7 cm, while the Imperial inch was shorter, at 2.54 cm. Three French sources—his valet Constant, General Gourgaud, and his personal physician Francesco Antommarchi—said that Napoleon's height was just over ‘5 pieds 2 pouces’ (5’2”). Applying the French measurements of the time, that equals around 1.69 meters, or just over 5’5”. So at 5’5” he was just an inch or so below the period’s average adult male height.

>"Mademoiselle Betsee," said the Emperor, "I tire of sugar-plums. I bet you a napoleon on the game. What will you put against it?"
>"I have no money," replied Betsy, a little shyly for her. "I have nothing worth a napoleon except—oh, yes—my little pagoda. Will that do?"
>The Emperor laughed. "Yes, that will do, and I will try to get it."
>So they began in merry spirits.
>"There, there," cried Betsy after a minute or two, "that isn't fair. You mustn't show your cards to Jane."
>"But this is such a good one." Napoleon's eye twinkled.
>"Well, it isn't fair," added Betsy with the excitement in her tone often observable in vivacious natures. As the cards were shuffled she repeated, "Remember, you mustn't look at your cards until they are all dealt."
>"But it seems so long to wait."
>"Then I won't play. You revoked on purpose."
>"Did I? Then I must hide my guilt;" and Napoleon mixed all the cards indiscriminately together, while Betsy tried to hold his hands to prevent further mischief, as she pointed out what he had done.
>Napoleon, amused by Betsy's indignation, laughed until the tears came.
>"Mees Betsy, Mees Betsy, I am surprised. I played so fair, and you have cheated so; you must pay me the forfeit, the pagoda."
>"No, Monsieur, you revoked."
>"Oh, but Mees Betsy, but you are méchante and a cheat. Ah, but I will keep you from going to the ball!"
>While they were playing Betsy had quite forgotten the pretty gown that she had laid carefully on the sofa. Now, all too late, she realized its danger, for the Emperor, suddenly turning toward the sofa, seized it, and before she could stop him ran out of the room with it, toward the Pavilion.
>Betsy in alarm quickly followed, but though she went fast, Napoleon went faster, and had locked himself in his room before she reached him.

>Poor Betsy! At night, after many wakeful hours, she cried herself to sleep. When morning came things did not seem so black. She felt sure that the Emperor would not do what he had no right to do, keep her pretty dress. He would surely send it back to her. But the morning wore away, and, contrary to his habit, Napoleon did not come near his neighbors of The Briars. Betsy sent several strongly appealing messages, but to them all came only one reply:
>"The Emperor is sleeping, and cannot be disturbed."
>So strong indeed was the dignity with which Napoleon had hedged himself, that even the daring Betsy did not venture to intrude upon him when he was resting.
>Afternoon came, and at last it was almost time to start for the valley. The family were to ride there on horseback, carrying their ball-dresses in tin cases, and they were to dress at the house of a friend. The horses were brought around, the black boys came up with the tin cases that held the dresses—the dresses of the rest of the party—but nothing of poor Betsy's. The little girl's cup was full to overflowing; she, the courageous, began to cry.
>She turned to one of the servants:
>"Has my dress been packed?"
>"Of course not; we didn't have it to pack."
>"Then I cannot go."
>Her tears had ceased. She was now too angry to cry longer.
>"I will go anyway," she said on second thought. "I will dance in my morning frock, and then you will all feel sorry, for I will tell every one how I have been treated."
>At this moment a figure was seen running down the lawn. It was Napoleon, and Betsy gave a scream of delight as she saw that in his arms he carried her dress.
>Her face brightened and she hastened to meet him.
>"Here, Mees Betsy," he cried; "I have brought your dress. I hope you are a good girl now, and that you will like the ball; and mind you dance with Gorgaud."
>"Yes, yes!" said Betsy, too happy to get her dress to oppose any suggestion, although General Gorgaud was no favorite of hers and she had a long-standing feud with him.
>"You will find your roses still fresh," said the Emperor. "I ordered them arranged and pulled out, in case any were crushed."
>To the little girl's delight, when she examined her gown she found that no harm had been done it, in spite of the rough treatment it had received at Napoleon's hands.
>"I wish you were going, sire," she said politely, as he walked beside the horses to the end of the bridle path.
>"Ah, balls are not for me," he replied, shaking his head.

>"But you promised, and your room is splendid for it, and it wouldn't be any fun without you."
>Seeing that resistance was useless, the Emperor at last consented to play. He began by binding his fine white handkerchief over Betsy's eyes.
>"Can you see?"
>"I cannot see you."
>But Betsy, although she spoke truly in saying that she could not see the Emperor, could yet detect a glimmer of light. Napoleon waved his hands before her eyes, and the shadows and rush of air made her start.

What a character Napoleon was! He seemed enlightened, a man with clear ideas, determined, and adorned with enough energy to immediately put into practice what he deemed useful or necessary. His life was the solemn march of a demigod, from battle to battle and from victory to victory. It would not be unfair to say of him that he suffered from an everlasting enlightenment that made him shine in the eyes of the world as had never been seen in the past and may not be seen in the future.

Extraordinary in everything, even in excess, Napoleon is a character who cannot be compared with others because he is unique. Due to his temperament, opinions, aptitudes, imagination and ethics, he seems made of a rare matter different from that of his fellow citizens and peers ... We recognize in him the late brother of a Dante and a Michelangelo by the similarity of their visions, the intensity, internal logic and depth of his thinking, and for the superhuman quality of his perceptions. His genius is of the same type and of the same size, he is one of the three most exalted characters of the Italian Renaissance, with the only difference that the previous two used paper and marble as materials, and Napoleon, sensitive and resigned matter. of men of flesh and blood.

For the French he was the best ruler in their long history. He triumphed gloriously on the outside, but also on the inside he established or re-established all the French institutions as they exist to this day. Of course, many of his ideas were anticipated by the Revolution and the Directory, but if his predecessors anticipated them, he carried them out. The great French legal monuments, the codes that served as a model for the whole world (not Anglo-Saxon) were Napoleonic. The hierarchy of public officials - from prefect down -, of the courts, universities and schools, was also his. The great "careers" of French public life - the army, civil administration, education, justice - retain in the world the form that Napoleon gave them. Napoleon brought stability and prosperity to all except the quarter of a million French who did not return from his wars, and even to his relatives he brought glory. Undoubtedly the English considered themselves freedom fighters in the face of tyranny; but in 1815 most of them were probably poorer and worse off than in 1800, while the social and economic situation of the majority of the French was much better, since no one, except the still despised day laborers, had lost the substantial benefits economics of the Revolution.

She was a salty bitch. Louise said so because she traveled to Tilsit to beg Napoleon not to take Magdeburg from them. Napoleon replied only "Wow, the queen of Prussia does know how to cry" and "Do you think I have extended my borders all the way here to see your pretty eyes?". That's what the pic portrays
And even so she continued to approach him in Tilsit while the treaties were signed to ask for Magdeburg. unsuccessfully

She arrived without invitation hindering the negociations directly to shout, cry and sob to Napoleon for that city.
After that scene at a dinner celebrating the negotiations, Napoleon offered her a rose on the table, she told him that she accepted it but only if the rose came with Magdeburg, he replied 'Ma'am, I am the one who gives you a rose, not you to me '.

i feel the idea that women are the natural selecters may be exaggerated. i think without their men, family, and society providing them a guideline, they turn to cavewomen in the same way a pig turns into boar when out in the wild.

Some do some don't. It really depends how they're brought up because women are attracted to men who resemble their father. It's no surprise women with daddy issues are the worst, or the ones who grew up in bad homes. That aside I think a lot of the responsibility lays on men who don't know what they're doing. The fact that you meet so many men who aren't in tune with their emotions, don't know how to consistently romance for life, or sense how women feel, and know how to gently get through that is proof enough that most men simply lack knowledge. There's so many successful men who are incredible business men, but they just turn into straight simp idiots around women. They think women are won over with material, wealth, or lookism which couldn't be further from the truth. Those things help but at the end of the day if you're bad at the things that actually matter in maintaining a relationship with a woman then it will not matter and she will either end up resenting you, leaving, or both.
