Why you should flee like the plague from that intelligent and intense man who seems so attractive to you (and, we warn you, will make you suffer) There are few things as harmful in the sentimental panorama as the figure of the tormented genius. The idea of a couple formed by a complicated man with a woman who understands him and takes care of him only perpetuates the myth that a man with problems can be'rescued' by a woman.
We live in a society of double standards, which judges men and women differently for similar behaviors.
