It’s a fact that men are generally wary of smart outspoken and successful women. Is it wrong though? I don’t think so.

Yet this status has been greatly challenged today withthe wake of feminism and unfortunately, men are finding it hard to adopt. Recent studies in the UShave revealed some interesting facts about the preferences of men in smartsuccessful women. When asked, most claim they would date a smarter and moresuccessful woman.

First things first, aprenup; short of Prenuptial Agreement, is a written document that stipulateshow wealth, property and other things will be divided between a man and a womanin cas...
