IQ and Marriage
In one study, 4 British universities measured the IQ of 900 11-year-olds and revisited them 40 years later to see how their lives had moved on.
They found that the brighter girls were less likely to find a man who wants to marry them, with their chances diminishing dramatically in direct proportion to their level of intelligence.
For each 16-point rise in their IQ, their marriage prospects fell by 40 per cent.
In contrast, boys' chances increased by 35 per cent with each 16-point rise.
aarrr... what say you?
(the scientific minds might want to search for the study here for the statistical fancies http://www.sciencedirect.com/ it is sth called childhood IQ and marriage by mid-life blahblahblah...)
