His philosophy is only popular due to losers with no self esteem.

Schopenhauer had no problems getting ladies, better than most philosophers actually. They just annoyed him that way.

He's like the exact opposite of Nietzsche.

Nietzsche was a loser who made a philosophy all about being great.
Schopenhauer was a Chad who's philosophy was /r9k/ as fuck.

Stop deluding yourself, reddit white knight.

Daily reminder that Schopenhauer wrote "The Art of Shitposting"

You're on the right track. Now you just need to accept that all humans and human contributions are ultimately meaningless, and you'll be set.

Can you make a compelling argument in favour of life? Can you prove that death is bad?

This is proves how shallow and underage your mentality is. I'm not a chad but I was also never without a girlfriend for more than a few months, and nevertheless I can appreaciate the philosophy of Schopenhauer (as well as the Buddha and the Stoics), which by no means is reducible to hurr durr no gf. Why don't you try getting a girlfriend yourself and see if that exhaust all human desires. If anything your post proves that you have never had a girlfriend.

Perhaps on a deeper level it does mean no gf if you take women as the representation of the earth from which schopenhauer and many other philosophers attempt to fly away from.

But fly as high as you can, all will always return to the earth.
