type takes most of his love out in dreaming. He is as
impractical about his affections as about all else and often nothing but
hopes come of it. Next to the Osseous he marries less frequently than
any other type.
Head and Heart in the Clouds
The Cerebral often remains single because he can not come down to
earth long enough to propose, or if he does he is so gentle and timid
about it the girl is afraid to trust her life to him.
Timidity His Curse
Timidity costs the Cerebral man most of the good things he could
otherwise get out of life. He is almost afraid to fall in love, afraid
to speak after he does and afraid to face the hostile world with two
lives on his hands.
Women Like Him
The average woman likes the Cerebral type of man but seldom loves or
adores him. His helplessness appeals to her motherly sympathy.
Can Not Buffet the World
But women are afraid to marry the extreme type even when the feeling
he prompts is more than mere protectiveness. They know he can not buffet
the world for them and their offspring.
So, even when they love him best they usually marry the fat salesman,
the Muscular worker who always has a good job, the Thoracic promoter
who promises luxury, or the Osseous man who won't take "No" for an
answer.
Always Leap Year for Him.
When this type of man does marry it is often due as much to her
proposal as his. He is especially aided in his courtship if "she"
happens to be a quick-spoken Thoracic, a straight-from-the-shoulder
Muscular, or one of those determined Osseous girls.
The Much-Loved Cerebral Woman
The Cerebral woman is more fortunate in achieving marriage than the
Cerebral man. The impracticality which so seriously handicaps him, since
the husband is supposed to support the family, is not quite so much of a
handicap to her.
Men who love her at all, love her for her tenderness, conscientiousness
and delicacy and deem it a pleasure to work for her, and she is one type
of woman who usually appreciates it.
The Cerebral's Weaknesses
The tendency to dream his life away instead of doing tangible things
that assist in the progress of the family is the greatest marital
handicap of the Cerebral type.
Inability to make money results directly from this, and since money is
so important in the rearing and educating of children, those who can not
get it are bound to face hardship and disillusionment.
The Saddest Sight
The most pathetic sight to be
