Why women with high IQ are unlucky in their personal lives

Erich Maria Remarque, a famous German writer, often addressed the theme of love in his works. He talked to many intelligent and talented women who complained of failures in their personal lives, blaming their intelligence. They felt that men preferred beauty to intelligence.

So why do erudite women sometimes have bad luck in love? Two quotes from Remarque's novels about love will help us to understand this question. Kouber writes about this.

"Love requires conscious naivety."

People in love often resemble children: they are carefree, sincere, joyful, and open. Unfortunately, many intelligent people do not know how to turn off their intellect and allow themselves to feel emotions without unnecessary analysis. Their attempts to rationally evaluate feelings, measure them with logic, and label each emotion contradict the very essence of love, which is spontaneous and somewhat crazy.

Because of the internal conflict between feelings and logic, smart women often face misunderstandings and problems. It is difficult for them to accept a partner with all his or her shortcomings, they are too critical of minor offenses and set high standards for relationships. Life seems to be making fun of them, throwing them partners who do not meet their expectations. This should be a lesson for intelligent women: learn to accept people as they are.

"Never resort to complicated moves if the same thing can be achieved in simpler ways."

Smart people are prone to pattern thinking. Their actions and deeds are based on the principles of "must," "right," and "should." However, such patterns no longer work in the modern world. By giving yourself and your loved ones more freedom, you can make your relationships harmonious and fulfilling. Smart women should not complicate their lives with artificially created problems. Simplicity and sincerity are the keys to happy and long-lasting relationships.

To summarize:

Intelligence is definitely a valuable trait, but it should not interfere with sincere emotions and the ability to accept people as they are. By learning to give free rein to their feelings and not complicate their lives with artificial problems, intelligent women will be able to find true love and build happy relationships.
