A Summary of Max Schulman's "Love Is a Fallacy"".

He was a freshman law student who is totally intelligent, keen, wise and clever. He is really proud of himself that he chooses what type of people he will be encountering. He chooses well the girl he will be marrying. Love between him and his wife doesn’t matter to him. Ha want an elegant and presentable girl. A girl who is somewhat like beautiful, at least has right proportion of the body and who is neat and clean is what he hopes for. But the most important aspect he wants is intelligence. He saw most of these standards to Polly. Polly is neat and clean. This girl is beautiful and has guts. She is not that sexy but has already the “ready for development” feature. She is gracious because she eats clean and neat. She stood like a real lady. But she is not intelligent. Although he likes girl who is compatible for a lawyer like he will be, and a girl who can take care of his children, he chooses Polly. According to him, it is better to change a beautiful but dumb girl into a smart one than to turn an ugly smart girl into a beautiful one. For Polly’s situation, it is easy for him to make Polly as intelligent as he is. But Polly is tied to other guy. That guy is his roommate in the university he is studying. His name is Petey. Petey, as what he describes, is a dumb and jitterbug. Even though they have the sane background, Petey is pretty different compared to him. Petey is quite emotional especially when he is searching for a raccoon coat he will be using for the swim. He couldn’t find one so he asked him. The said law student remembered that his dad had this kind of coat. After the conversation, he went to his dad and got the coat. He then came back to the university. He offered the coat to Petey but in one condition, Petey would let him date with Polly. Petey is aware that he and Polly are not lovers. He thinks of the deal wisely, until he realized to deal with him. He then has a date with Polly. He knows that Polly has no intellectual capabilities so he met with her and teach her some information particularly logic. Within 5 days, he taught Polly to be wise and clever when it comes to giving statements and concluding. After 5 days of teaching Polly, he then tested Poll’s brain if she really had learned. He made it somewhat like realistic to be able to determine Poll’s capabilities. At that that particular day, he was amazed by hearing the answers of Polly to her but there was a problem. Polly is taking it seriously and literally. Even though that he means of something else, Polly is considering it as a test. He wants to be with Polly, but Polly wants to be with Petey. He asked her why she chose Petey when he is so brilliant compared to Petey. Then Polly answered it by saying that Petey had a raccoon coat.
