Something that I've found through my observations and first hand experiences is that whenever you are on a more extreme side of a given spectrum you tend to have issues/difficulty with that on the opposite side.
Some examples
- Athletes that are very explosive (sprinters, weightlifters, throwers, etc.) will not at all be competitive in endurance sports (distance running, swimming, cycling, etc.).
- People that work a lot and have a lot of financial success more often than not lack a social life. On the opposite spectrum, people that party a lot and live a care free life generally do not do well financially.
- People that are very artistic and creative are often not all that gifted when it comes to analytical type intelligence (math, science, etc.).
From my observations, men that are very intelligent tend to be "in their head" a lot and overthink/overanalyze things far too often. Men like this you can often find in the hard sciences (physics, chemistry), engineering or computer related work. If you've ever met men like this they tend to be quite awkward to say the least. Something else to consider is that many of these types of men would quite honestly be classified as being somewhere on the autistic spectrum. I wouldn't be quite surprised if men that are at a very high level in these fields more often than not have Asperger's. Disregarding social skills, I guarantee you what these men find interesting or exciting would be seen by women as boring or even weird. There's a reason why men like this are often single and struggle with women, none of it has to do with the way they look.
