I Saw a Man Struggle to Buy an iPhone X for His Girlfriend—Are Women Really Smarter?

I witnessed a man bargaining for an iPhone X at a market store. The price was above his budget and he looked unhappy. I told him to save for two more weeks. He said he was buying it for his girlfriend. He was still using an iPhone 8 and refused to sell it because he loved it and all his files were on it. His girlfriend used a Tecno phone with a broken screen and asked him to get the iPhone X instead of fixing the Tecno. He had saved ₦100,000 and hoped she would send the rest. When I suggested he call her for the balance, he laughed shyly. It made me wonder: are men too afraid to say no? Are women smarter because they won’t stay where they don’t benefit?
