A message for men, what Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes about intelligent girls

I have heard many men say that they want an "intelligent woman" in their life. 
I would encourage them to think well. 
Girls and intelligent women make their own decisions,
have their own desires and set boundaries. 
You will never be the center of her life because she revolves around them. 
An intelligent woman will not allow you to manipulate or blackmail her. 
​She is responsible for her actions.

Intelligent girls doubt, analyze, debate, displease, progress. 
These women had a life before you appeared in their lives,
and will continue to have it even when you leave their lives. 
Such women report, do not ask permission. 
They are not looking for a leader to follow, a father who solved their life, or a child to save themselves by guiding them. 
They do not want to follow you, nor are they willing to show the right way to others.
Intelligent girls know that living without violence is a right, not a luxury or a privilege. 
They express nervousness, sadness, pleasure and fear in the same way,
because they know that fear does not make them look weak, nor does nervousness make them look "masculine". 
These two emotions, but also the others, all together, make it look humane and that's enough.

An intelligent woman is free because she has fought for her freedom. 
But she is not a victim, she is a survivor. 
Do not try to limit her, because she will know how to escape. 
An intelligent woman knows that her value does not lie in the physical aspect. 
​Think twice before judging her age, height, weight or sexual behavior because this is emotional violence and she understands it.
So before you say you want an "intelligent woman" in your life, ask yourself if you are really ready to be a part of her life.
