If they scare that easy, what would they do when faced with something dangerous?

When I was still looking, I discovered that Mr. Wrong frequently revealed himself within minutes. "Hey, have you read all these books?" is a reliable sign that he should be given the old heave-ho after one -- count 'em, one -- cup of coffee. If he flinches when you make a joke, or intervenes to halt an intellectual conversation -- "It's getting heavy in here! How about them Jays!" -- the smart woman knows what to do. And she does it because she knows that, however cute he is, sooner or later you have to talk.

If intelligent women have so much trouble finding men, why do so many of them go through life trailing a long line of old boyfriends? I suspect that it's not the men; it's the women having trouble figuring out what they really want in life.
