"Research Links High Sex Drive To High IQ, But Brainiacs Still Have Less Sex Than Everyone Else"

Don't be afraid of different people, they can be smart and beautiful as well

Im not afraid of other races, its just that I'm indifferent towards lets say female gypsies, niggers, arabs, all kinds of in between and so on. Its just how I'm. In fact my favorite type visually is a standard blonde preferably not too fat girl..

Yeah...... A couple people on the forum know about it but it's not something I advertise. My husband is pretty bright too.

From the view of my own marriage, my husband and I are often too busy with other (and more interesting) things to have sex. Which is fine with both of us really. Either he or me, or both of us together, are always studying something and our interests keep us busy.

I think specifically of one young lady from my Mensa group..... We have monthly get-togethers where they invite some guest speakers to talk about interesting things for a few hours. One young lady, who is 22, was running around the place in her with her cellphone (whilst this guest speaker is speaking!!) busy playing Pokemon-Go. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes. Here is this guy talking about whatever (can't remember what) and she's running in and out of the place with her phone giggling her head off. I could imagine a 10 year-old doing something like that, not a 22 year-old at a fucking Mensa meeting.

Haha! I think i know what you mean.. My friend is exactly like this sometimes. He kinda realizes it, but there's nothing to stop him

If the person has good moral values and knows how to respect other people it should be all safe..

Hehe! You can never be 100% safe! Especially when it comes to random events like genetics.

I think the study is missing the most obvious reason why it's likely.

Smart Hobbies: Computers, lab work, reading, learning.

Average/Dumb Hobbies: Sports, "hanging out", shopping, bars.

The hardest thing for intelligent people is the fact that most intelligent people's hobbies just aren't as social.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

It's not difficult being social. It's knowing basic social cues and avoiding topics you know upsets people. It's incredibly boring.

Really smart people should know how to balance their hobbies. A family friend is 38-year-old, a docent in maths in a prestigious university, and had been a professional basketball player in his early 20s, before he had an injury.

That is a fallacy. You can't say clever people like this and stupid people like that. Personality and interest has little to do with IQ.

Look at this forum. Anthropology and genetics could be considered "intelligent" topics, yet there are some people here I wouldn't trust to make me a cup of tea for fear it would strain their intellect too much. Then I have another Mensa friend, highly intelligent, who lives for trance parties, pops hallucinogenics every second night and chugs down 20 liters of beer over the course of a weekend.

You get highly social people who are extremely intelligent, and you get highly unsocial people who are as dumb as dogshit.

It varies from person to person.

I used to be the life of the party until I became... or changed... or morphed into what I am today. There was nothing more interesting than getting to know people, what interested them, what makes them tick... After a couple years I started hearing the same stories in the pubs over and over again. There is always the guy whose wife is giving him hell, there is always the guy who has apparently made millions only to be screwed over in a terrible business deal, the guy who tells everyone he's a pilot (when in reality he's an estate agent). It's the same sob story every time, just different people telling it. That's when I called bullshit. I don't need to waste my time sitting somewhere and know exactly what story you are going to lay out in front of me before you even start talking.

These days I prefer my own company.

[Insuperable]

And you?

I do not know, but I have high sex drive. Halp.
