Try to guess the adjective in this quote of A. Chekhov:
quote:
The more .......... a man, the less fortunate he is.

Let me hug & kiss you...

As a hint more quotes of him:

If you fear loneliness, then don’t get married.

How unbearable at times are people who are happy, people for whom everything works out.

I’ve noticed that people who get married cease to be curious.

Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.

Nothing lulls and inebriates like money; when you have a lot, the world seems a better place than it actually is.

What a delight it is to respect people!

When a thinking person attains adulthood and develops a mature consciousness, he reluctantly feels himself in a trap from which there is no exit.

When you’re thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean—that’s faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two—that’s science.

If you wish women to love you, be original; I know a man who wore fur boots summer and winter, and women fell in love with him.

Sounds like A. Chekhov needs to allow himself to be hugged and kissed.

Based on his marriage quotes, I'm going with: fur-booted

Wrong answer, TG!
Tomorrow I'll report about your stupidity to your parents. Just obliged.

PS
But, Jeff, in fact your answer was very original and funny (I must admit it!).

OK my friends; this is it:

The more cultured a man, the less fortunate he is.
