Cluster B personality disorder:

Antisocial personality disorder – check;
Borderline personality disorder – maybe
Histronic personality disorder – check
Narcissistic personality disorder – check

Neuroticism is thought to be a spandrel, which is a non-adaptive by product of some other characteristic, in this case of adaptive intelligence arising from intuition problem solving versus more standard sensory problem solving.

“This overblown anxiety thus needed to be buffered via intelligently creative, but largely fictitious and arbitrary notions of cultural meaning and personal value. Since highly religious or supernatural conceptions of the world provide “cosmic” personal significance and literal immortality, they are deemed to offer the most efficient buffers against death anxiety and neuroticism.”

As an avowed athiest that hates all forms of religion and the self modulating regulation buffers that help to regulate such thought processes, I’d speculate that he is increasingly unable to regulate his behaviour or control his neurosis.

Neuroticism is positively correlated with IQ in population groups, but not necessarily in individuals. He is undoubtably high IQ, probably high 140’s to 150’s maybe even low 160s (IQ becomes increasingly meaningless and hard to measure beyond 3 standard deviations), however this would present a further problem for him as again one of the modulating controls over behaviour is having someone capable to share issues with in order to “talk out” neurosis, ie a life partner.

In modern society mate selection is increasingly done on a peer basis. In older times men married dumb blondes (who were actually just homely, and often intelligent women, whose focus was on family), while smart women married dumber men in order to achieve their life goals through manipulating them and having them act as their proxies within the patriarchy.

Now-a-days peer marriage or assortive mating is much more the outcome, problem is in the shape of the IQ bell curve. So while on average male and female IQ is the same, the bell curve for men is much flatter, meaning there is a 5% – 15% variance in the standard deviation of IQ between the sexes. This may not sound like a lot but it makes a significant difference in terms of available mate selection on an assortive basis the further out the curve you go (in both directions) – i.e. finding someone you can relate to.

So while there is generally a 1:1 match at around 100, for an IQ of 115 there are 1.07 men for every woman, (same for an IQ of 85). As the cut off rises (or falls) the ratio becomes more extreme, at 125 the ration is around 1.2 men for 1 woman, at 145 there are 1.6 men to 1 woman, at higher again it is about 2 men for every woman.

So what is the mate selection opportunities for a highly Neurotic high intelligent male? Quite simply no intelligent woman is going to bother with him, even if they can relate to him they know that the lack of stability through his neurosis would be too extreme to qualify him as a potential mate.

Firstly such a woman would have double the selection of available men as a woman with an IQ of 100. Secondly if she too were highly neurotic herself, then she’d know that she would be better off taking the old fashion approach and marry a dumber but more stable male who could provide the stability in her life compensate for her own in regards to starting a family. The best he could ever hope for is an equally broken low IQ ‘wine aunt’.

Quite simply he is broken, and as an increasingly fat, balding middle age goblin plagued with neurosis and defective personality disorders, is unlikely to ever successfully achieve one of the basic measurements of success in life – partner, kids, etc. Deep down he probably knows this, which is probably amplifying his neurosis as life passes him by eg “I just want to tell you I hate myself”.

Men high in neurosis generally tend to die earlier and alone in life, which would be a shame, because I hope that cunt lives a long, long time.
