Truly smart , academically focused men are. For one there’s the lifetime of conversations you’ll be having with your spouse, for two think of the children. Smart men (and women) would like to have smart children for many of the same reasons- interactions, child going to their alma mater, pride. Pro athletes and actors marry models and actresses. Academics sect a mate in graduate school. |
+1 This has nothing to do with race. Personally I would stick with a good looking millionaire husband than run off with a dorky looking billionaire. Jeff is a downgrade for her. Patrick looks very cute. After you have a few millions, which Patrick presumably has, do the billions matter? |

there's no reason to believe that this new woman isn't intelligent. she may not be as academically accomplished as the first wife but that doesn't mean she's not smart. case in point: i have an ivy degree from one of the good ivies, and, sure, an plenty smart. but my husband - a college dropout - is actually the genius of the family. |
| Men Mary for looks or there is divorce |
educational achievement is highly correlated with IQ. your husband might an exception or might be something you are telling yourself. i don't care. but the relationship is strong and well documented. |
No the correlation is between wealth and educational achievement. This is well documented. |
This is partially true. I went to an Ivy and the majority of the succesful guys married very beautiful women from UC/UMC backgrounds but no intelligence power houses. All have college degrees but not top 10 and none of them have impressive career. Most men would pick a gorgeous woman good in bed from UF making $100K over a Princeton MD at GS making $2 million and working day and night. |
this one is well documented also and is very high (.80). eg. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289606000171 |
omg you have been harping on this forever. the truth is that most women are married, including many unattractive women. a vast majority of men is not facing the option of "gorgeous woman good in bed from UF making $100K over a Princeton MD at GS making $2 million". conversely, most women are not facing the option of marrying a billionaire or a millionaire. and anecdotally, a lot of gorgeous women have disastrous love lives and many a plain jane happy lasting marriage. which is impossible according to your stupid theory. |
Yes, this is very well documented. Also, people seem to gloss over the fact that more intelligent people generally earn more. More intelligent people also generally have more intelligent kids. |
yes, they also live longer, are less likely to get into accidents etc. there are plenty of reasons why evolution would select for that preference in both genders. and in fact both genders report looking for intelligent partners. btw, i went to a highly selective HS (similar to tj) and every single woman from my class is married. also, no divorces. |
Probably actress that was in an amazon commercial or got a series picked up by amazon. |
| I don’t think anyone is harping on looks in terms of the regular criticisms on women’s looks. This is a completely different monster all together and you can’t ignore the elephant in the room. Lauren has a breast implant in her lips, that is f*n weird looking. |
