The pictured woman is a rarity: a fertile woman that likes brains more than brawn. The point of my title is that when women are most likely to get pregnant, they fantasize about macho men, not so much about smart ones. Sleeping with either man at this time would determine if their baby is a football player or a chess champion. The football player beats the chess champ every time.
This was partially discussed in the November 21, 2010, blog post. Since then, Psychology Today published a new article in its July/August 2011 edition called "Intelligent Intercourse." Rosemary Hopcroft, a sociologist at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, says "Intelligence is negatively associated with sex frequency. It's a bit dismaying."
Yeah...
Not only that, but the higher education a person achieves, the fewer sexual partners they tend to have. For example, men with college degrees as half as likely to have had four or more partners in the past year than men with a high school education.Or they are less likely to admit it, says Anjani Chandra, a health scientist and demographer at the CDC.
Why this is true is hard to say. Carolyn Halpern, a professor at the UNC School of Public Health claims that teens at the top of the IQ charts tend to be virgins. She believes that the smart kids purposely abstain because they want to avoid negative consequences. Opportunity may also play a role, as the smart kids also are less likely to kiss. These intelligent teens are not ugly losers either, as the research factored in attractiveness, affability and personal grooming.
"Pursuing education takes up a lot of time," says Chandra.
