"...likely to marry ceterus paribus than women who do not exhibit those traits."

Gee, does knowing Latin make you smarter than someone who doesn't know Latin? Are you in the camp of Teresa Heinz who is of a belief that the more languages you speak, the smarter you are? (Which would make Mrs. Heinz one smart cookie?)

Is English so imprecise and limited that you can't express your thoughts in English? Or are you just trying to telegraph something about your own character traits?

That was Latin? Neat!

Seriously, one of the things I found most attractive about my husband was that he never uttered the phrase, "You're just tryin' to make me feel dumb by using big words."

I don't know if it's a generalized reality or if it's just me, but IMHO women like men who are more intelligent and successful than they are.
