Yes, maybe provably so intelligent but why so overwhelmingly stupid ?!
I know exactly what you mean by snobbery and elitism.
I dated a Jewish girl in college for a while. I came from a family with means but her dad and mom still looked down on me. They were always nice to me but gave off unwelcome clues I was not welcome to marry their daughter. She was given strict orders, marry Jewish or she would be cut off.
She was going through a divorce and mid life crises a few years back and contacted me on FB if I was available, was I happy and asked if I was open to rekindle the relationship.
A clue resides in Isaiah 5:21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Many "high IQ" people disregard Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
This will offend many, but I'd be very hesitant to marry a divorcee. Second marriages have even higher odds of ending in divorce than do first marriages.
These days men, especially men with assets, have to be careful about marriage.
I suppose that’s supposed to be a compliment.
Can't say as I blame you. My first and only husband was a divorcee. He was a philanderer, and I divorced him back in 1979. A few years after the divorce, he married a third time. One two sons who are in their 50's have no idea where he is, and none of us care to know. I raised my kids alone, and never married again, and at 74, I'm grateful each day that I never did. I love my privacy, and my solitude.
My current wife and I have been married nearly twenty years. We had both been recently divorced when we met. My time with her has been the best twenty years of my life. I think everyone is entitled to one marriage mistake. Twice-divorced is a whole different situation, though.
Whatever the averages, individual cases may vary.
IQ is nice. Mine is....VERY high...but it is what you do with it that counts. Even more important is knowing Jesus as your Savior. Beyond that common sense just can’t be measured. It’s not about the numbers....never has been. Numbers are there to impress other people.

A very solid observation.
They have big genetic issues with cancer and other diseases. If you think you are in that bloodline you need to watch for cancer and take advantage of free cancer genetic tests when available...like BRCA. I cant remember the hoops you have to jump through but they go to the head of the line.
Also pancreatic cancer.
I don’t think Charles Murray is Jewish and he came up with similar numbers.
There is even a gene panel for you of some known diseases

Second marriage now going on 48 years next week. Son, an Iraq combat soldier, federal police officer and our daughter worked for DHS/DOJ against organised crime, as I did, in part. She spent time working legal cases for disabled children. Wife worked for a Republican VP/White House Admin.
Being a People of the Books, reading and education have always been at the top of the list. Our granddaughter learned Japanese before she was 14. Also learned Hebrew.
Our family on my father’s side were Russian
n immigrants (early fleers of the coming pogroms). Included a roofer, paint store, then all of us since 1938 in the wholesale plumbing business at some time. I installed my own water-heater and it lasted leakfree for over 23 years.
We had at least six college degrees amongst us earned while working in various white and blue-collar jobs. Average family IQ was at minimum 140 with an uncle at 180 - doctor and a world famous art collector/critic.
As Tevia might have said in “The Fiddler on the Roof”, Tradition and Education!! And hard work are the secrets of life.
You are never too young or too old to stop learning no matter what your race, religion, or ethnic/national origins.
God gave us all a brain. He left it up to us as to what to do with it.

What are we chopped liver now?
A number of years ago when my Mother was still alive, I gave her an Ancestry.com account for Xmas one year, she was really into Genealogy.
When Ancestry started doing DNA testing, I had a close friend try it and was please with the results, so I had my DNA tested thru Ancestry....
I was always told that my ancestry was British and Spanish, when I got the results of the DNA testing I was surprised to say the least....
I was 50% British, but the 2nd strongest DNA trait was Ashkenazi Jew from Eastern Europe.
My mother did not believe it and sent off to have her DNA tested, her results came back 50% Ashkenazi Jew, the ancestry could have only come from her Father who passed away when she was a teenager, he immigrated to the USA before WW I, his name was Michael Thompson, hardly a Eastern European Jewish name, she knew he was adopted but we have no information on his birth...so he must have been a 100% Ashkenazi Jew.....
And You’re right, I have always been friendly with Jews
That’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing your story.
Absolutely not, never implied that.
And? You can’t leave us hanging like that. Not that it really matters in the whole scheme of things.
