Got that right. . .play with them, fine, but never marry dumb.

The article has it wrong by placing the alleged drop in marriage for "smart" women. The simple reason may be these women don't want to get married as they went to school we indoctrinated in the ways of feminism and look at marriage as oppression. They bought into the Nike/Reebok "I-am-woman-hear-me-roar" and marriage is not a smart career move. This is the feminist thought process regarding marriage and is wrong. Many smart women choose to get married and choose to have a life and a family. The ones "at the top" are few and the costs for anyone reaching those heights pay a high toll personally. Not just women.

Exactly. Some "smart" women have different priorities, and getting married and/or having children isn't one of them.

I think you hit it on the head, many women on high IQ have been fed and tow the feminista line unfortunatly. Of course this isn;t the whole picture but I think it is a big part of it. I think it also affects high IQ men too. Then again, we have to define what "Brainy" and "Intelligence" means. There are such things as "book smarts" and "street smarts" as well. All I know is I would love to have a woman to love me for who I am and to be a conservative. B-)
