Also, this is just plain wrong.
Some women are attracted to intellectual minds.
Some women are attracted to physical strength, some women are attracted to maternal instincts, so on and so forth.
The problem is this question is usually being asked by someone who thinks that responding to every factual statement with an inflammatory counterpoint qualifies as intelligence.
I was in my 20s, long before having children, and I was yelling at them like toddlers, too.
My friend at the time was plying and accidentally called a whole pack of blue Pikmin through a wall of fire, killing all of them, and he just paused the game and said, “I’m a bad father.”
Pikmin is a crash course in what it’s like to have dependents.
Even for Cyanide and Happiness, this is cursed.
Task failed successfully.
Faramir: “Father, I’m going to play Battleship.”
Denethor: “What the fuck is a battleship?”
Chakotay is like, “How the hell did we let you take over our land?”

"Surely no man has ever attained such happiness." - Kirok
The Enterprise finds a planet within the path of an asteroid that has evolved to almost exactly resemble the ancient Americas on Earth. Additionally, they find a nomadic people who resemble some of the Native American tribes. Only a strange obelisk of unknown design suggests that an advanced people had once been there. Opting to leave the natives alone and focus on the asteroid, Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and Doctor McCoy prepare to return to the ship. Upon contacting the Enterprise, Kirk accidentally activates an entrance hatch to the obelisk and falls in. Inside, he fumbles around and touches the advanced controls causing his memory to be wiped. Outside, Spock and McCoy, unable to locate the Captain, return to the ship in order to intercept the asteroid in time. Kirk is found by one of the nomadic natives and taken in. He is believed by the elders to be the fulfillment of an ancient prophesy that tells of a god who will appear to the people during a time of great need. As Spock and the crew use all of the Enterprise's strength to keep the asteroid from striking the planet and killing everyone on it, Kirk slowly believes he is the one the prophecy spoke of and begins a new life filled with a simplicity and peace he's never known before.

#57: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 2, episode 21 "Patterns of Force"
Written by John Meredyth Lucas, directed by Vincent McEveety.
Stardate unknown (2268)
"A man who holds that much power, even with the best intentions, just can't resist the urge to play god." - Doctor McCoy
The Federation has lost contact with Professor John Gill (David Brian), a cultural observer who was studying the Ekosian people of Ekos in a system they shared with the Zeon. The Enterprise is sent to reestablish contact with him. Upon arrival in the system, they are met with a nuclear missile launched at the ship from Ekos. But Ekos isn't suppose to have technology that advanced. Captain Kirk and Commander Spock beam down to the planet in disguise and are immediately met with the sight of a Zeon man being chased and beaten by a group of Ekosians dressed exactly as Nazi officers from Earth's 20th century. Seeing a news reel of how the Ekosians have unified the entire planet under a mission of an ethnic cleansing of all Zeons on Ekos and on their own homeworld, and how John Gill himself has been elevated to the position of the Fuhrer of this version of the Nazi Party, Kirk desperately tries to find a way to make contact with Gill to find out why he violated the Prime Directive and chose to recreate one of the darkest pages in Earth's history.
