Topic	Why intelligent people are less likely to have sex
Zeus 08/19/18 4:21:15 PM #37:	streamofthesky posted... I've noticed that women tend to prefer to be the "smart" one in the relationship and don't like being proven wrong by their male partner, while as for guys, we're basically taught to just not quibble over stuff (the male ideal being "strong and silent" after all) and that "a happy wife is a happy life." Plus countless media portrayals of married couples where the guy is stupid (usually for comedic purposes) and the woman is sensible and smart, which doubtlessly has a social effect on us. positions self behind flame shield for the incoming barrage It's far more common to see high-performing men with low-performing women, although that largely comes down to a gender imbalance. (And, of course, a lot of people like partners who operate at roughly their level.) Additionally, if one partner were more likely to have an ego, it would almost certainly be the male since males tend to grow up competitive whereas women tend to grow up cooperative. The media portrayal is partly because liberals are more present in entertainment and also because it's an inversion of (and likely a reaction to) the "father knows best" trope prevalent throughout earlier decades. And, of course, it continues because tv is largely derivative. If something works, it gets copied. LinkPizza posted... TigerTycoon posted... Intelligent people are less likely to have reckless, unprotected sex as a form of entertainment. I think the article said less partners, though, right? They can still have the same amount of reckless unprotected sex. It will just be with less people... Dikitain posted... Well that's not true at all, just because you are done with school doesn't mean you stop learning and studying to advance in your job. I still spend about 2-4 hours a day studying just to keep up with modern programming trends and tools. People who don't do this end up being the "I'm stuck in a dead end job with no chance for career development" people. Yes, it's actually pretty important in a lot of careers to continue learning, especially in fields which can undergo major shifts in relatively short periods of time. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:907167571] in Why intell...
