Summary

This quote highlights a societal observation that often emphasizes the pairing of intelligent men with women who are considered less intelligent. It points out a perceived imbalance in relationships, suggesting that intelligent women tend to be with equally or more intelligent partners. The quote may imply a gender bias where women are believed to prioritize intellect more than men when choosing a partner. However, it is essential to note that this statement generalizes and oversimplifies relationships, as intelligence is not the sole determinant of compatibility or successful relationships.
