That's politically correct. And it also helps to save your marriage - flatter the missus every chance you get!

Oh yeah? A woman as smart as my wife can see though flattery with instant and unmitigated clarity.

There's no point in trying to manipulate or obfuscate. One of her classic statements is: "You fooled your mother, but you don't fool me." She's right.

On the other hand, surround yourself with brilliant people, and it's like having a telescope or a microscope or a computer or something all the time. You can see further and know more.

Not only that, but what is the love of a woman, if it results from flattery--or any other kind of dishonesty or trickery? No, the only love worth having is the love for you--not some illusion that you conjure up--the love for you, with all your falts, all your imperfections, your insecurities exposed for her to see--and she still loves you--and you love her. That's love.

But also--and maybe best of all!--nothing turns me on--in any other way, including sexually--than intelligence. No. There is one thing--love!
