Summary "Quéda que as Mulheres Têm para os Tolos" by Victor Hénaux is a concise treatise addressing the enduring phenomenon of women's attraction to foolish men, written during the early 19th century. This reflective work contemplates the nature of love, examining the psychological tendencies that lead women to prefer the superficial charms of fools over the deeper qualities found in more thoughtful men. The book likely explores themes of attraction and love's complexities, using a mix of philosophical musings and societal observations. In this treatise, Hénaux discusses the historical thread of women's attraction to foolishness, illustrating how notable figures throughout history were often overshadowed by less intellectually gifted rivals for affection. He contrasts the approach of intelligent men, who exhibit insecurity and self-doubt in romantic pursuits, with that of fools, who possess an unearned confidence that often leads them to success in love. The author suggests that while intelligent men dwell on their perceived shortcomings, fools thrive on an invincible self-assurance which attracts women effortlessly. Ultimately, Hénaux makes a case for the perplexing dynamics of romance, asserting that the traits women often find appealing are not those of wisdom or virtue, but rather the attributes of foolishness and bravado.
