Well, I've done my part . . . < g >
Hey that looks like my granddaughter. She has a free PhD ride in physics. She would like to get married and have children. What kind of a guy should she hope for?
That makes me grateful I never went to college, if that's even a smidge bit true! :)
Laz may have an existential truism here.
As I stated, conservatives are generally not into eugenics. I personally disagree, however.
These data, if correctly reported, don't indicate a swing to some kind of radical feminism among smart European women. They indicate, rather, the opposite -- the tenacity of some of the most unreconstructed human inclinations DESPITE politics.
I'm referring to the universely observed variance in the partner-status preference and aversion of men and women.
Few men insist upon a woman of equal status, and many men would refuse a woman of higher status. By constrast, virtually no women would refuse a man of higher status, and many would refuse any man of lesser status.
Back when most high status people were men, due to job and education discrimination and preferences, the math penciled out fine for the few high status women there were. Now that high status is divided nearly equally, the math and the pschology are in a fatal collision.

I always liked the phrase "educated idiots" myself. :)
True. And that is also when these fools realize the biological clock has run out. Then it is booze and/or Prozac waiting for death.
My teen daughter tests in the top 2% of the population on intelligence. She swears up and down that she'll never marry. I'll believe that when I see it. IOW, I give her 10 years, and I'll be shelling out cash for a wedding - instead of graduate school tuition.
Mandatory education laws, as well, along with the welfare state (especially social security) and the high taxes needed to pay for it.
Even in third world countries such as India, the middle class tends to have small families because they want their kids to study and go to school rather than work. The poor send their children to work at an early age and provide little or no education. The children are economic assets.
I didn't say BAD intelligence. I actually believe that women have a superior form of intelligence in many ways. Except of course that that shoe obsession thing. What the hell is it with the shoes?

He's also an MD like my mother. I deviated from the family tradition and got a PhD in engineering :)
Wow *lol*
"not interested enough"?
enough? So career women are good for "recreation" but not for marriage.
"I love intelligent women. I just wish they were more interested in me!"
I could have any woman I please, I just don't please any : 0 )
Britney Spears, eh? I know the name and the fame, but so many of these faces look exactly like so many other faces--and however old she may be now (a whole 22?) she looks like she's barely out of junior high in that photo.
