Smart women need to marry down to become mothers because there aren't enough smart men [tr]

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 couldn’t 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.

In short, be very wary of one who thinks themselves to be brilliant.

If'n ya can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullxxxx.

Whatever the reason. If you don’t want to do something, it doesn’t matter what the excuse is.

“There are - but they’re too smart to want to get married....”

Absolute truth. I was married for 26 years and would never, ever do it again. For men marriage has turned into involuntary servitude.

You hit the nail on the head. After years of observation I’ve come to the same conclusion.

More like “women buried in student loan debt for worthless degrees need to marry somebody who wasn’t dumb enough to bury themselves in student loan debt for a worthless degree to pay off their student loans for them.”

Fathers would be wise to discourage daughters from going for graduate degrees, or degrees in worthless subjects, and encourage them to marry before 25.

“there aren’t enough smart men “
That’s really stupid. There sure are. Women already choose brawn over brain. So, marcia, you’re wrong.

happening right now for my husband. Year 15 of indentured servitude youngest is 15 and a half and child support goes to 21 here.
Of course the same “children” get to vote (democrat) even though mom is getting “child” support payments for them.
Middle child is almost 20 and taking family vacations with no career in sight. Most likely she dropped out of Community College as well.

Don’t forget the parental alienation where Mom trash talks Dad if he dares to move on. It’s been almost 10 years since my husband has seen his children or heard hide nor hair from them after the phony child abuse reports.

Oh yeah Western men are definitely looking to get married to these “smarter women” not unlike my husband’s ex shrew.

"And when he's not a lawyer, engineer, etc. inside of 5 years (when she's watching all her "friends" husbands climb the ladder) she will leave him for lacking ambition.

Then he's in "baby jail" for 15 more years paying half of his modest salary while she earns six figures and marries another 6 figure maker. They are going on vacations, buying real estate, she's getting new boobs, etc."

Every once in a while it becomes so overwhelming for the man that he decides to end it all. The horrors of murder/suicides ensue. In divorce the only real winners are the lawyers and the courthouse minions.

Why do you see so many white women now going for black men?

I think it’s because in today’s society black men can be A-Type males, without anyone objecting. They can get away with a lot of misogynist behavior that white males can’t.

‘Smart’ is defined as?

No one knows. Is it the IQ test? The sheepskin on the wall? The balance in your bank account? I have no college degrees, dropped out of 11th grade, got a GED, yet I taught Computer programming in 7 programming languages in a 2 yr college for 9 years and was the IT director for a large company with 5k employees. I just considered myself good at what I did and still did some pretty dumb things (according to my wife of 50yrs).

>> “high maintenance” <<

My eldest son has had several ‘high maintenance’ women in his life. None had nor desired a PhD.

Fortunately, as a building contractor, his income is in the seven figure range.

If the woman doesn’t think she’s marrying down intelligence-wise, the man played his cards wrong.

“There are - but they’re too smart to want to get married...”

Agree. I told my boys to NEVER get near American Woman (The Guess Who, 1970), and they didn’t. Went overseas and came back with really great wives, from families that still value marriage.

I worked with a gal that has a PHD, she was one of the few PHD’s I have met that had common sense.

I enjoyed her very much and used to go out to breakfast and go hiking with her, but I always felt to low on the totem pole to ask her on a serious date.

My messy marital status may have contributed to the situation.

Now I am a freeborn old man!

Perhaps 20 years ago now, a female colleague who taught English and logic, having despaired of ever finding a match who matched her credentials, married a local locksmith with a successful small business, something a la Marty. Unlike the implication in the movie, their marriage lasted perhaps five years until they civilly divorced, but since both were Catholics they are unable to move on other than as celibates. How much the intellectual divide caused this, I cannot say, but I think it is reasonable to assume that it had some effect.
