From inception, women are slightly intelligent than men.
Marrying a woman smarter than you are makes her know
how to do things and help you out!

My reasons is cos you cant start going around looking for a woman thats smarter than you to marry, except you have all the time in the world to do that, why must she be smarter than you in the first place, so if you meet a girl who is smart enough, do the needful

Where are the SMART ones?

Have u guys seen Gone Girl? U don't want to get on the wrong side of a woman smarter than u are

pro's

Its coming from a FATHER - He knows better

Scientifically, tz been proven offspring stem their smart-ability from their Mommas gene

She helps u take better decisions

She wouldn't be shallow minded. As in ephemeral things won't freak her out... etc


possible con's

She knows how to treat your f*ck up when you try to go beyond your boundaries

she could be rather dominating a times which might not go well wt u hence result into feuds

etc

most women are smarter than men, not speaking of book smarts here and neither am i referring to sex.

Females are intuitively smarter than males while males confuse cognitive smartness with the intuitive one. Cognitive smartness works well for general money and national matters, but when it comes to interpersonal interaction and relation, you cant beat a woman for smartness. Generally speaking, with few exceptions here and there.

If men did not have the type of forgetfulness women experience after childbirth, in their everyday lives, they would run from women and even sex.

take ur dad's advice if you want less stress and more fun in your home
