A phrase by Weininger that has stuck with me for years. Women's beauty is all external and metaphysical, not internal or personal. Which is why they cannot create but also they cannot understand great art. Women cannot produce something like this:
Or this:
Or this:
But worse of all, they cannot understand it. They cannot perceive the greatness that is inside a man's personality, the depths of feeling and purity that may reside inside a man's heart.
Part of the resentment men feel towards women is not so much that they only care about looks, which at any rate is not particularly blameworthy in itself and besides it is the same for men. It's this question of personality itself that is so frustrating, because women don't value personality at all. Between two Chads of equal physical attractiveness, she will still chose the one who is vile and boisterous over the Chad capable of the depths of feeling necessary to produce art like the above, because they are not capable of perceiving that inner greatness at all. It is a non-factor for them, which makes the "personality" meme not only hypocritical but also dangerous, because men, who are capable of understanding personality, might come to the delusion that women are actually capable of perceiving their inner beauty and will never understand how despite their genuine expression of virtue and personal greatness they will still be not only rejected by also abused by women time and time again, which can only lead to the dark resentment and excessive blowback that characterizes a forum like this, because it is not just such and such a man that women are scorning, but inner beauty or greatness itself.
