Brainy women face handicap in marriage stakes: British survey

Sun Jan 2, 3:43 PM ET


LONDON (AFP) - A high IQ is a hindrance for women wanting to get married while it is an asset for men, according to a study by four British universities published in The Sunday Times newspaper.


The study found the likelihood of marriage increased by 35 percent for boys for each 16-point increase in IQ.


But for girls, there is a 40-percent drop for each 16-point rise, according to the survey by the universities of Aberdeen, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow.


The study is based on the IQs of 900 men and women between their 10th and 40th birthdays.


"Women in their late 30s who have gone for careers after the first flush of university and who are among the brightest of their generation are finding that men are just not interesting enough," said psychologist and professor at Nottingham University Paul Brown in The Sunday Times.


Claire Rayner, writer and broadcaster, said in the article that intelligent men often prefered a less brainy partner.


"A chap with a high IQ is going to get a demanding job that is going to take up a lot of his energy and time. In many ways he wants a woman who is an old-fashioned wife and looks after the home, a copy of his mum in a way."

There is no way in hell I would have married a dense woman.

(he says in hindsight, pretending he never dated any braindamaged hotties)

You can have that O'Connor trollop. I'll take RBG anyday, baybee.

That's the thing. If you're a gentile, as well uncircumcised, I would bet women like Bader Ginsburg would find you quite alluring. Because, being Jewish, they probably have dated almost exclusively Jewish man, so the novelty of (as Opa has put it) an uncut schlong might be reason enough to fuck. You just don't find many (any?) uncircumsized hasidim and other chosen males.

Unfortunately, I was separated from my turtleneck some 28 years ago.

What da hell...? No wonder I'm having problems!!

What? I am most attracted to women who are smarter than me. I want a wife who is interesting and I can learn from.

Slow women can't figure out how to get me out of the ludicrous situations I've ensconced myself in numerous times over the years.

I'd be dead if I'd married a dimbulb.

The article isn't saying that it is hard for intelligent women to get men.

It is saying that it is hard for them to get men they want to marry.


Time to lower your standards, ladies.

[sarcasm]Nein. Feminazism uber alles, pig-fucker male oppressors![/sarcasm]

I'm confused -- what exactly is the problem with uncircumcised men? And how does that impact a woman's level of intelligence?

I don't think they did that study right. Maybe those women are smart enough not to want to get married.

You're actually right, D Chalk. At least, for me it is. While it would be great to have a special someone to call your own for the rest of your life, that whole marriage thing scares me.

The two sides of my wife:

Ding!

The thing that most attracted me to my wife (and still does) is her intelligence. That, and her 40-Cs.

my wife is intelligent, for a girl

Don't act like you want to forget all those good times.

Unfortunately, I had a knack for dating the PSYCHOTIC braindamaged hotties. Would have preferred slightly better adjusted ditzoids.

If only OPA! were ten years older, and in possession of a vagina....

Errmm....

Ummm...

No?
