Intelligent women should consider marrying less clever men if they want to start a family, according to researchers.
There are simply not enough brainy men to go round so women may need to widen their search, warned the author of a report that found a growing number of professional women were freezing their eggs because they couldnt find Mr Right.
There are fewer educated men in the world for educated women to partner with, said Marcia Inhorn, professor of anthropology at Yale University.
So if women want to find a partner with whom they can have children, they need a more expansive notion of who is Mr Right.

The women married into my family just care about $$$.
Like Willem Dafoe in To Live and Die in LA?

Ping for your interest Megan dear.
Exactly!
Like the PhD in Social Work that thinks she’s better educated than a guy with a BS in Physics...
I’m female and I agree with you. Feminism has led a lot of women down the wrong path and literally destroyed lives and nuclear families.
Well gee. If you bias university admissions towards wamen what did you expect?
You just described my stepson and his girlfriend perfectly. :)
There arent enough manly men thats for sure.
“Let us put men and women together, see which one is smarter,
Some say men, but I say no, women got the men like a puppet show.
It ain’t me it’s the people that say, men are leading women astray,
I say, it’s the women today, smarter than the men in every way,”
I think the songwriter got it right.
I have found that people in general, male and female, who represents and touts themselves as intelligent routinely over-estimate their intellectual capability. The truly intelligent person has a good appreciation for what they DON’T know and the result is a demeanor indicating reasonable humility. In short, be very wary of one who thinks themselves to be brilliant.
Another consequence of affirmative action allowing more women into colleges than men.
Intelligent women should consider marrying less clever men if they want to start a family, according to researchers.
The female of the species have always had the upper hand in relationships.
The female wants to find a good provider and protector to have children with.
100 years of WOMEN’S LIBERATION will not change 50,000 years of human evolution.
“Intelligent” women, code name for college educated career women, who gave up their prime child bearing years to pursue a career are hearing the ticking of their biological clock getting louder, and discovering that men have different requirements for a mate.
First clue women, it is not a dried up man hating spinster and their 30 cats.
The irony is that while a man in his 40s and 50s (and is good looking and wealthy) can marry a 20 year old. A woman in her 40s and 50s (and is good looking and wealthy) can’t.
Sucks to be “liberated” doesn’t it.
PIAPS? Pompous in a Pant Suit?
Not sure there is one.
Exactly
Why buy the cow when your getting the milk for free?
Thank you!
I agree with one of our fellow FReepers that hideous amounts of student loan debt are also a major factor here. Most women who graduate college can’t afford to take any time out for a family because they’ve got massive amounts of debt to retire.
And you don’t need to “marry down” because a man doesn’t have a degree. A degree is not indicative of a man’s intelligence or his capability as a provider. Quite the contrary, really.
A man with a Ph.D. will have a mountain of debt to pay off but a man with a good trade, like a plumber, electrician, or a contractor will be earning as much as $450,000 a year in some places and he’s not paying off student loans!
When my daughters come of age and start looking for a husband you can believe me when I say that anyone with massive debts is NOT going to be welcome around here!
You've got to be smarter than the animal your hunting.
Nothing makes me happier in this world than spending time with my dogs.
Three things I never want to hear during my lifetime-
1. You don’t spend enough time with me.
2. All you do is spend time with your dogs.
3. I’m leaving, and I’m taking the dogs with me.
Pass on marriage, mkay.
That is exactly why we won’t know when Artificial Intelligence becomes sentient.
The first wise thing it will do is hide its intelligence!
