Why the Smartest Women Often Have the Most Challenging Dating Lives

Familiar of the saying “you can’t have the best of both worlds”? Well, it apparently applies in many aspects of our lives, even when it comes to relationships and dating. If you try to think about all of the women you have known, with your friends included, you might notice there is always at least one of them who is not very lucky when it comes to love despite them being gorgeous, intelligent and well-rounded. The irony is that these are also the same exact reasons why they are having difficulty finding the love of their life.

Here are some of the reasons why these amazing qualities are keeping them from finally meeting their one, true love.

1. They are intimidating

There are women who seem like they are almost perfect because they have everything that any guy could ever wish for in a girl. However, because of this, many guys are also intimidated. They feel like they don’t know how to approach and handle these types of women, so no matter how much they like them, they’d rather look for some girls who don’t make them feel intimidated; those who can make them feel like they have more power over them.

2. They are very independent

Independent women are very sexy and attractive. However, this does not make some men comfortable because they desire to feel like they are badly needed. It means that being with a woman who is totally independent, someone who can handle everything in her life all alone, hurts a man’s pride and ego. This will later be a reason of his insecurity which could possibly lead to more problems in the relationship in the future.

3. They are extremely selective

Women who are smart, beautiful and talented have the tendency to be very choosy when it comes to the guys they date. That is simply because of one reason – they know their worth. So when a guy approaches them, they don’t easily say yes to an invitation especially if they know that the guy won’t be able to meet their standards. Even if they don’t think about it, there’s also a certain set of qualities that the smartest women are looking for in a guy. And no matter how many men approach them to court them, they won’t just decide to go out with one if they don’t like anyone of them.

4. They have other goals and priorities

The smartest women also take a long time before they finally get into a relationship because they are more goal-oriented. They know what their priorities are and they really stick to them. They are not easily carried away by their emotions, which means that even if they are already beginning to like somebody, they do not easily give in because their goals and dreams prevail. They are more focused with other things that matter to them than finding love. When they wake up in the morning, the first thing that comes to their mind is to chase their dreams, or pursue their passion, and improve their lives. Until they feel that they have already fulfilled this desire, then and only then will they give themselves a chance at love.

5. They are more mature compared to other women

Smart women have the tendency to think more maturely more than other women their age. This quality adds to their being more superior and intimidating. They don’t have time for gossips and other things that don’t make sense to them. They know that their worth is not based on how guys see them, how guys appreciate and like them. They know their worth because they know and believe in who they are and what they can offer. That is the reason why they can carry themselves well and they like themselves for who they are.

6. They know how much their love is worth

Smart women are very reserved when it comes to dating because they don’t easily give their love away to just anyone. They know that once they decide to share that love, they know that it will be given with all of their hearts, without holding anything back. That’s why they want to give it to the right person. As much as possible, they don’t want to make a mistake of giving their heart to the wrong one because for them, they only seldom fall in love, and might as well just make sure they give their love to someone who is worth it. Once an amazing woman finds the right guy, this really going to be considered lucky and at the same time, it could also be a challenge. Only strong men will be able to handle this kind of love from women.
