Name some literary dudes who had dumb wives.

just ask her out.

Dissatisfied with talking to your wife? Feeling like you can't have a deep and meaningful conversation with your girlfriend or something?

Scott. Zelda literally killed him

Socrates

She's driving me crazy.

I don't understand why I'm so fond of her if she's so dumb.

Why would Socrates pick dumb woman for a partner?

>I don't understand why I'm so fond of her if she's so dumb.
Is she really dumb? What's dumb about her?

>It is the example of the rider who wishes to become an expert horseman: "None of your soft-mouthed, docile animals for me," he says; "the horse for me to own must show some spirit" in the belief, no doubt, if he can manage such an animal, it will be easy enough to deal with every other horse besides. And that is just my case. I wish to deal with human beings, to associate with man in general; hence my choice of wife. I know full well, if I can tolerate her spirit, I can with ease attach myself to every human being else.

From Symposium

How do you know she was dumb?

What's NOT dumb about her.

How the hell should I know? You're the one trying to wet your dick in her.

Or are you saying all women are dumb

Kurt Gödel's wife Adele was described as "a dancer" by one biographer (that they met in a nightclub is corroborated by one link I just randomly looked up). It's probably uncharitable to straight-up say that she was dumb; the two seem to have been a fairly well-functioning couple. Instead, well, Gödel was, of course, Gödel, and Adele was simply an average woman.

>Gödel
Hahaha, holy shit. I'm just trying to picture Godel in a night club hitting on chicks

>Aelian also depicts her as a jealous shrew in his description of an episode in which she tramples underfoot a large and beautiful cake sent to Socrates by Alcibiades.
>An unconfirmed anecdote purports that Xanthippe was once so enraged with her husband that she took a chamber pot and poured it out over Socrates' head, which – according to the tale – the philosopher accepted with the allegory: “After thunder comes the rain.”
Sounds kind of dumb.

Imagine Rudolf Carnap trying to get laid

He pulled one and literally turned that ho into a housewife, so that says a lot for Kurt. She did dote on him and he trusted her (and no one else) to prepare his meals for him. He chose well, I think.

OTOH she was six years his senior, the union was predictably opposed by Kurt's parents, and Kurt had a cougar track record: he apparently went after at least one other who was ten years older. This intentional selection of an older woman may suggest a certain beta male low self-confidence. Another notable man of the era: Salvador Dali fell for Gala, also a decade his senior.

Gala was quite the roastie, a turbo-slut it seems. Still Dali went for her and immortalized her in several pictures.

Dali seems to have had a genuine attraction to older people in general, though.

Well at least me an Godel have one thing in common

James Joyce, I think.
If not Joyce, there is at least one truly great mind who had a wife like that.

>If not Joyce, there is at least one truly great mind who had a wife like that.
Is it mwee?

Kurt was probably the most chad autist of all time

I think it's pretty much a matter of record that Nora's intelligence was completely average. She supposedly hated the Penelope chapter of Ulysses, too, which amuses me.

Ah, the pic is from Joyce. Gotcha.

That's what happens when you marry based on fetishes.

>What's dumb about her?
Do you really have to ask? I mean we're talking about a woman who married OP. How intelligent could she realistically be?

You never really know since relationships aren't exactly based on rational decision making

Sounds kind of a bitch.

>tfw had cute gf who was a bit of a dummy
>fun and interesting either way
>she leaves me
>tfw have smoking hot gf now who is very smart
>wife material but kind of boring and sterile
>It's... not better
>might actually be much worse

I guess that means I'm a dummy too or at least want somebody who will accept everything I say as truth.

>tfw dating an uggo
Name some literary dudes who had ugly wifes

It's the whole that counts, my dude ;)

Simone de Beauvoir

all writers and philosphers are either fags or autistic virgins

Nietzsche said Socrates married ironically.

Is ironic marriage the next step for Veeky Forums autistic irony?
