A man who correctly guesses a woman`s age may be smart, but he's not very bright.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Guessing a woman's age may showcase intelligence, but the act itself lacks wisdom as it can lead to uncomfortable situations.
This quote by Lucille Ball humorously highlights the social faux pas of guessing a woman's age. While it may show a certain cleverness to make an accurate guess, the underlying implication is that such knowledge can be detrimental to oneβs social intelligence, as it's often considered impolite or intrusive to inquire or speculate about a woman's age.
