Reply #37: The Kama Sutra set the standard for [View All]

choosing a mate. :) While it made for fun reading, I still found it silly.

I agree with the poster that called this study nonsense, because intelligence isn't just about I.Q. (a questionable standard to measure true intelligence, if you ask me)or how long one spent in college. The key, I think, to finding lasting happiness with a mate is to respect all their assets rather than think more or less of them for what they don't have, i.e. a seemingly high I.Q.

I don't know about you, but I have known highly intelligent people who were real ditzes and completely socially inept. Maybe they are confusing I.Q. intelligence with social intelligence, the latter which probably has more to do with how successful a person is in finding a mate.
