Why Your Sex Life Is A No-Brainer

Over thinking your sex life can find you sleeping alone.

Do you consider yourself one super smart lady? Do you lie awake at night analyzing your brilliance? Do you spend those same nights alone? And although you're intelligent, you can't figure out why? Well, it turns out there's a scientific explanation (whoa, calm down there, smarty-pants) to it all. Well, kinda. It may not be so much scientific, but it does explain why you're not getting laid.

1. You spent too much time reading your biology books, rather than your biological needs growing up. In other words, while others were having sex in the high school parking lot, you were discovering the formula for nuclear energy.

2. You feel entitled. You're used to hard work equaling reward. But, just because you received the Noble Peace Prize and a Pulitzer, doesn't mean people necessarily wanna have sex with you.

3. You've been pegged a "smarty." That means, you're sexual self may not be fully realized. It's hard to catch a fish without bait. That spiffy analogy was just for you, literary ones.

4. You have a hard time switching on your lizard brain. Ever wonder how after numbing some brain cells with a couple strong drinks, you're ultra smooth with the opposite sex? That's because you're not over-thinking everything. Let's face it, you’re not even thinking at all. You're reacting to hormones and Mother Nature.

5. You're too smart for love. Finding friends that are smart enough to tackle your impressive noggin is a feat. Finding similar qualities in a date seem altogether impossible. Instead, concentrate not so much on data retention, rather, on differences. The most intriguing people are those you can learn from. Hey, learning is something you're good at, remember?
