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.
