Well, that statement's a little broad since some philosophers have surely been happily married. But I do think there's a pattern there. Philosophy is effectively a mental illness, as far as mass culture should be concerned. And lifelong illnesses often make us unlovable or uninterested in what most people take for granted.

You could add Nietzsche and perhaps Kierkegaard to the list, too.
