A woman's chances of marriage depend very much upon herself, upon her power of pleasing and charming.

Thousands and tens of thousands can never get married.

Now there are cases in which a woman can please too much.

Men become afraid of her.

They think, "She knows too much, I dare not be frank with her"-- or, "She is too beautiful, she never would accept a common person like me"-- or, "She is too formal and correct, she would never forgive a mistake, and I could never be happy with her." Not only is this possible, but it frequently happens.
