I want to introduce you to my friend, Bruce.
Bruce has always been one of those “career men”, so he was in his late twenties when he eventually got married. It wasn’t only his career holding him back from a life of wedded bliss, though. You see, Bruce is actually a really smart guy. Past experience had taught him that his intelligence would be a turn off to most women. They don’t want a man who challenges their opinions or who knows more about politics than they do, right? However, while on a boys night out, Bruce’s best friend once said something to him that was a bit of a revelation. He said “Bruce, there are women out there that are actually attracted to intelligent men. A woman like that would really appreciate you.” Bruce soon stopped “dumbing it down” for the ladies and although it probably meant he was on the shelf a bit longer than some men, it was worth it when he met his wife, Camilla.
