No, not at all, I disagree.

Bollocks.

I'd rather stay single than have a relation with a "normal" woman. Boring, boring, boring. You might as well play Ludo instead of chess.

Just to comment on an extremely vital aspect of your post: if you want to get fancy with your ø's, the Danish spelling is København. However, the place has a perfectly valid English name, Copenhagen, which you should use when writing in English.

You write well, and I have nothing to complain about of what you write.

But, just a detail that doesn't look right in my Scandinavian eyes:

The capitol of Denmark is Copenhagen (in English) or Køpenhavn (in Danish). Don't use the ø where it doesn't belong.

But everything else that you write I read with most interest!

Normally I wouldn't, but having worked out how to get unicode characters I'm using them at the slightest excuse.

Perhaps you come from a long generation of exceptionally intelligent people. Average intelligence may be higher than the general average in your pedigree. Perhaps that is reflected as a different average for your family when it comes to attraction.
