All the smart men that I know including the one that I look at in the mirror when I get up in the morning have their feet solldly planted in the nineteenth century. This is a problem because most women have their feet planted in the last half of the twentieth century as well as the century that we are all presently living in. This transcends the red state, blue state thingy. Smart men looking for women who have not progressed are going to have follow the telemarketers and look to outsource from Asia.

I was on an interview panel to select a department head. One of the candidates was a brilliant young man who promptly told us how brilliant he was. He spoke seven languages. He also mentioned that when he married his Russian wife, he spoke no Russian. My mind immediately said: "mail order bride." I concluded he didn't have the social skills to find an American wife and that this would make him a lousy Department Head.

Good assumption.

Smart person. Horrible with people.

I would agree with your assumption if she spoke no English. However, if she spoke, English, it could have just been one of those things where the guy met and fell in love with a Russian woman in America.
