Down in Klugetown, they don't celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve like Equestria does. The residents of Klugetown don't do anything like the ponies do. And if you were someone who would call yourself a friend of ponies, you'd have a tough time making it in Klugetown, a place where a friend is a liability to one's health and fortune. Living in Klugetown required one to be smart, and it's not smart to have friends. Only stupid creatures have friends in Klugetown, which is when they start hoping they're lucky, because they have an uphill battle to stay afloat.
Whoever said it was better to be lucky than smart might have been on to something. Because a pony like her, you only meet that kind when you're lucky and stupid. And if you're smart, you'll realize it'll never happen and you should stop thinking about it.
But you didn't meet her and fall in love because you were smart.
