Women's chance for marriage drops as their IQ rises

That's what a recent British study found. Read about it at these sites: Times Online and Yahoo News. Seriously--read the the Times story at least.

Sometimes I wonder if our society's need to make men and women exactly the same has made us want to reinforce stereotypes even more. Men know they want a woman who is different from a man, but they don't know what that means anymore, so they are drawn to subservient women or ultra-feminine women who make the distinction between the sexes seem clearer. Just throwing that out there as a possibility.

So, are women drawn to more manly men? Maybe, maybe not. Personally, I'm drawn to men like the guy who was on "That Seventies Show" whose real name is Topher Grace. Now that, my friends, is the most un-manly name in the world.

How sad. But it's definitely true. That's why I don't mind making myself appear stupid--it works. Not too stupid...then I'd just get bored. Maybe that's it--the guys are worried we'll soon tire of them if they aren't a million times smarter than us (And since there's no one out there even ten times smarter than me, I guess I'll go dateless for the rest of my life...just kidding--at least about the ten times smarter than me part!)
