The Smarter A Woman Is, The Difficult It Is For For Her To Find The Right Man

There is an adage that reads; “The smarter a woman is, the difficult it is for her to find the right man”. Such an old saying was brought back to memories as I spotted it on the WhatsApp Status of a brother. Many men believe smarter women do not get their right companions because they always try to prove themselves right in every situation. A socialite recognized as Guiam Wainwright shared his views on the topic via Quora as follows; “Speaking as a reasonably successful man – at 33, I’ve founded/sold a few businesses, am a chief in my particular field, am not (I hope!) unattractive, and my net worth is definitely over the million marks that people seem to obsess about.

Seat belt entanglement is one of the 5 Ways Kids Can Get Hurt When Inside A Car. As we’ve stated before, kids easily get bored and will always reach out to the nearest thing to them to play with.
