So I've been reading up on the correlations between intelligence and sex. Suffice to say, it's no fucking wonder I can't get laid.

http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2007/04/intercourse-and-intelligence.php

...It makes it not hurt as much anymore.

Anyone here have the same problem? Hello? Anyone?

God I feel sorry for the world...

-Dust

i don't want to read all of that...summary please. i'm guessing smart folk fuck less. but maybe it's vice versa

Yeah, smart folk fuck less. For no apparent reason. Most likely because testosterone kills off brain cells in the developing fetus, and acts as a neural inhibitor in the male brain.

I posted in an attempt to make other smart folk not feel so alone. :(

-Dust

baah . . .
who cares . . .

So that explains why I don't care about sex.

This will fuck up future generations to a ridiculous degree.

Maybe it's different for women...

If you can't get laid, you're not very smart at all.

I agree, that is to say, if you desperately want to get laid yet can't. All of the people I get along well with are the kind of people who are very bright and intellectual, not "zomg D&D and warcraft" people. They are the kind of people that are going to end up at Stanford, not their mother's basement. The kind of people that end up doing stuff with their life. Almost all of the ones I know are virgins. You know what I find funny though? They could all very easily lose their virginity if they were so inclined, and with an attractive person. They just don't want to, they have more important things going on. There is a huge difference between these people, and the losers(like the OP).

Son of a BITCH!

So what you are saying... Is because YOU can't get laid, its the rest of us who are retarted? That doesen't sound very smart. (I didn't read the article, I'm lazy, fuckin sue me)

I've always thought I was a little lacking in the testosterone department.

Pff, you made the wrong conclusion there.

To sum up the article:
The research tested high-school age adolescents, and showed that 50% of those with IQs 70-90, and 70% of those with IQs over 110 were virgins.

Now don't you think that those with lower IQs cared less about brain activity (learning etc.) because they were less successful in it, and spent more time getting social skills and thus had their aim of getting laid they worked for, while the others spent more time studying (something they're naturally good at) and had slightly different aims?

That's all there is to it; the deviation in % is not big enough to indicate that it's biologically harder for a smarter person to get laid.

So chill out, manage your time better to get more diverse stuff done during your day, join a gym, improve your social skills little by little, and at some point you'll find yourself with a shitload of money, good shape and health, amazing personality and lots of skills, and you'll be laying far better chicks than some of the "popular" kids that will be repairing the highway you drive your porsche on.

You're not smart.

Go away.

Also, above 110 IQ should not be considered 'smart'. According to the online Mensa test mine is 113, and I'm a fucking idiot.

Online IQ tests don't mean jack shit.

Online IQ tests don't mean jack shit.

The Mensa one is pretty accurate.

Hold it a sec...I'm a pretty smart bloke...And I can get laid pretty easily.

Did you get laid in high school?

well, according to the super scientific IQ test I just took in one of my classes, my IQ is 132. That is bullshit. I doubt that it really is that high at all. Fuck it. IQ is fucking worthless. Who gives a shit about how smart you are? No one. The only thing that matters is what you do with your intelligence. And if you waste your intelligence by finding excuses for not having sex, then yours is wasted.

Maybe (OP) you're just socially retarded?

IQ: 137
Last laid: July 18, 2006

There's a pretty simple reason for why most smart people have trouble getting any. The majority of the population has an IQ of 100-110. It has been shown that people with more than a 15 point difference in IQ tend to have difficulty relating to each other. So someone with an IQ of 125 or higher will have a hard time relating to most of the human population.

Potential solution: Find places populated by people in your IQ range.


In any event, I find statistical evidence that I'm unlikely to get much action throughout my entire fucking life to be extremely fucking depressing. I need a drink.

But it also said you are more likely to visit a prostitute, so cheer up mate.

This is such bullshit, and all you've done is provided YOURSELF with the excuse as to why you are so socially awkward. An explanation and chest thumping rolled all into one...."I'm too smart to be suave". Gimme a fuckin break.....

It all boils down to the fact you have "book" smarts, and "life" smarts. Very often people don't possess both. Academic knowledge has NOTHING to do with real life skills. The reason people fail at social interactions, is because they are focusing too much on THEMSELVES, rather than observing/listening to the person they are talking to. You are too worried about...."OMG, does my breath stink?" "Does she like this shirt?" "Am I being funny enough?" "Am I being too funny". Again you should be following closely the body language and discussion the other person is putting out....and quit worrying about how you are being interpretted by them.

The best communicators are the best LISTENERS. Hearing the other person out, and better understanding their needs/wants/fears. It doesn't matter if you can "relate" to the other person like Prom discusses above.....just as long as you can better gauge and predict that person's future mannerisms. And really and truly...if you ARE honestly smarter than them, AND listening to them....you should be able to use/exploit everything they are saying to YOUR advantage. Whether that is getting invited to a party, asking them out, or trying to get a blowjob....if you were as smart as you believe yourself to be, someone with less intellect SHOULD be putty in your hands. Just shut the fuck up and LISTEN to what they have to say......they'll open the doors for you and not make you "wonder" about anything.

This. THIS.

POST

This.

I'm very smart in both life and academics. My smarts have always been an advantage (except maybe when my brain said: "don't fuck her, she's got the yeast infection"). Being smarter means you can converse with people of all levels, not just the dumbasses. Being smart also means you can figure out why you're not getting laid and fix it so that you are getting laid.

Also, while a lot of my "dumb" friends (I went to a ghetto school, I've met a shitload of dumbasses) may have more sex then me, the girls they're sleeping around with are hideous, either physically or personality. I don't mean just stupid girls, but trailer trash that gets picked up too much, if you know what I mean.

I'd like to see a study on the quality of sexual partner versus intelligence, I think it needs to be taken into account.

My girlfriend at the moment, for example, is worth a whole lot more than any girl I've been with previously (sad truth). I'm saying this as objectively as I can, and I've always stood by this:

"QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY"

However, if you're not getting laid enough, lower your standards and get laid some. You don't have to hold out for a good girl, just drop your baggage when you start dating her.

That study only focused on teenagers from grades 7-12. Of course the smart ones weren't getting laid; they were all nerds.


edit: Lol at none of the art majors being virgins.

Almost all of the [smsrt people] I know are virgins. You know what I find funny though? They could all very easily lose their virginity if they were so inclined, and with an attractive person. They just don't want to, they have more important things going on. There is a huge difference between these people, and the losers(like the OP).

Describes me / my circle. Except my stupid friend... but you know, thats what we are saying, right?

This will fuck up future generations to a ridiculous degree.

Indubitably.

Our world is currently over run with asinine, irresponsible leeches, who have an obsession with reproduction. Unfortunately, these individuals seem to make up the immense majority of people who reproduce.

I am not like some people who claim the only resolution to this issue is by using violence, but it's a disturbing truth that our society is becoming increasingly moronic.

Dude, if you think you're not having sex because you're too smart, maybe having sex isn't your biggest problem right now.

Shift + F7

Lol, I'm quite smart and get laid too. I guess I win.

you guys don't get the point. it's not an excuse to explain why the OP doesn't get laid. it's talking about how people with higher IQs are less likely to be inclined to want to have sex, or a relationship.

i'll admit, quite willingly, to being a virgin. i also plan on being a virgin for quite some time. i honestly don't even see the point in pursuing girls at this time (i'm in 10th grade). the way i see it, there's 2 reasons for a relationship:
1. sex
2. life partner of some sort

as i'm not particularly interested in sex (also, it's not exactly safe, at least not around here; my school has a constant population of pregnant girls, and i REALLY don't need/want a kid), and it's a completely ridiculous idea to be pursuing life-long romantic relationships in high school, there's clearly other things my time would be better spent concentrating on.

also, people are all different. it's in the genes. there is always an exception to the rule.

i looked at the chart and read like 3 sentences, apparently since my iq is like 129 i'm 70.3% more likely to be a virgin... lmfao fortunately though for me i'm not, i just don't get laid very often anymore... (i HAD a girl... but she turned out to be a fucking retard, so i had to let her go...) then there was another one, and now i don't have a car let alone a license to buy alcohol.. soo..... bah if i was 21 getting laid would be almost infinitely easier...

Says the guy that probably just spent half an hour making that post sound smart.

Actually, it was over three hours.

i'm smart, i know this because older, smart people tell me, and i'm not a virgin.
I'm also in highschool, and from what i see and understand you have to be part of something( a sport , group,club) to meet the girls and get laid. Now, what if the smart people (who claim they are smart) just join one or two of those clubs and i will garantee you you'll get some.
Also i lost my train of thought, but this is Ok.
So OP join a club where you can talk to girls.

Im one of the smartest people ive ever met, somtimes i cant get enough from my girlfriend sometimes i can take it or leave it.
Having brains enough for you mind to be on something besides pussy for 2 minutes is what i put it down to.

Im one of the smartest people ive ever met

Shit, me too!

I think Prometheus summed it up for me--there's just a difficulty relating to people outside of 15 IQ points of yourself. When you're up there on higher levels, other people just don't seem to cut it... There's a mental dismissal that snaps within my head that says to a potential mate: "Wow, you just really aren't that smart, are you?"

I also like how half of you jump to the immediate conclusion that I'm a fat virgin who lives in a basement and can't get laid. It isn't san issue of me being overweight and pasty. Instead I turn down most advances in favor of the quality over quantity bit... I just happen to have ridiculously high standards. To spell that out: a partner must be within 15 IQ points. Yes, it's fucked up but that makes it look like I can count out 90% of the female population right there.

In addition to that post I made, there's a similar sex/IQ bell curve for females indicating something other than just a testosterone issue. Most likely, and this is what I would look at for myself as well as some of my intelligent female friends, it's just hard to relate to someone when you spend so much time inside your own head. And when you do find that one person it's stupidly difficult to make a move counting on the lack of experience you've had before.

So, YES, quality not quantity. But the other difficulty is the fact that statistically, those of the higher IQ will not have nearly as much sex as those slightly to the left of the curve. It's just something that has to be dealt with.

But you know, for some reason I think I'll wear my lack of sex with pride. Stupid and happy or smart and frustrated? Well, I can deal with the frustration...

You can't fix stupid.

a partner must be within 15 IQ points.

So you plan on taking everyone of your potential girlfriends to a pyschologist and make them take an IQ test before becoming her boyfriend?

It's pretty obvious when you meet someone if they are going to be intelligent enough for you or not. But I do hope you were being "funny".

No, it's not obvious. Take me as an example.

Most people(Including my teacher) see me as 'highly intelligent' based on my pretty damn good verbal skills. But in reality I'm a fucking moron - Who just so happened to be a good talker.

Did you get laid in high school?

Yes...Yes I did.

So you plan on taking everyone of your potential girlfriends to a pyschologist and make them take an IQ test before becoming her boyfriend?

Absolutely THIS!

I would love to know how the hell you people can determine someone's intellect so quick out of the box? ESPECIALLY considering many of you supposed "braniacs" are usually so scared/embarrassed/awkward in having a simple conversation without falling all over yourselves.......how are you able to determine all of that? Do you have some kind of formula?

Most importantly, exactly HOW do you measure intelligence? Just by IQ? I'm sure I don't need to tell all of you "smart" people that the only thing IQ is indicative of is someone's intellect POTENTIAL. And someone with an IQ of 160 with multiple degrees from Harvard can still be a bum living under a bridge.....along with being a virgin at 50.




"QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY"



So, YES, quality not quantity

Wrong, wrong, wrong......just plain WRONG! None of you ever heard of practice makes perfect? When Tiger Woods won his first major, did he stop going to the driving range thinking......"Hey I did real good on that one, I can just keep on keepin on and will still be succesfull"????? Whether you are trying to pick up a chick, or find her g-spot....having a multitude of experiences makes you a better/smarter boyfriend or lover. Because if you are with that "quality" girl that is a perfect 10 and break-up after several years, what exactly has that ONE girl taught you about all the others? Absolutely NOTHING, because every woman is unique. Whereas if you have a pool of women that you've experienced you have a better cross section to analyze, and can now make a SMARTER prediction on what may or may not work on the next girl.

Simple math to make my point. You've finally dated this ONE "quality" girl, and on date 2 you bring up your massive Bionicle collection. She has brothers, has been exposed to them for years and also loves Bionicles. Hurray, it worked! A couple months into the relationship you are fucking her doggie style, and after inserting a finger up her ass she hits a mind blowing orgasm. Hurray, it worked! Now you 2 breakup, and you may want to go back to what was a "success" in your last relationship as a guidebook for the next one. So was that one "quality" girl, automatically indicative to what the next girl you try to pick up going to like??? Not necessarily......and if you had a past with a QUANTITY of women, you could better assess and analyze your tactics for the next one. (3 out of 20 liked my Bionicle convo....better not use that because the success ratio isn't so good. 7 out of 9 loved the finger in the ass during doggie, yeah I'll try that again)

So in essence, even if you are NOT looking for the love of your life or settling down, you can still be gaining life experiences ....*GASP* "knowledge" about the opposite sex that WILL make you a better potential mate for when you do find the right one. Or you can hold on dearly to empty cliches and rhetoric like "quality not quantity" and still be that bumbling awkward guy you've always been.

When I read the title to the thread this is exactly what I thought the discussion was going to be about. Probably would make for a great thread some day....."Who is better in bed, imbeciles or geniuses?". Instead this thing is just the nerd herd trying to validate their awkwardness and lack of experience, and pat each other on the back because some how their FAILURES are a pseudo symbol of "intelligence".

there is no correlation between iq an how much sex you get
its managing your book smarts with social smarts.

im mostly an ap student. an know alot of other smart people...an we all get laid.

hell theres this kid thats nerdy as hell. smart as hell. ugly ass hell. an he is like the king of nerdy chicks.

i dont know if there blowing him but hes got them in his palm

It's at least in my top 5.

No, it's not obvious. Take me as an example.

IQ is a rough measure of intelligence, at best. The 15 point thing is just a general rule.

I've know several extremely smart people (far smarter than me, even) who were very social and could get along with anyone. A couple of them were even major pimps/pimpettes who could get as much action as they wanted. By far though, the majority smart people I've known are socially maladjusted freaks.

Your teachers were pretty retarded then. I can spot a car salesman from an intellectual, apparently they can not.

One of the smartest people you say, yet you fail to use proper grammar and sentence structure. I pity the fool.

I set standardized test records and I get laid, often. Face it, you're not smart, plus you can't get laid. You just suck at living.

Or, as has been mentioned, you don't care.

I used to not care, then I got laid.

Awesome.

this.

What's really fun is getting high test scores and rubbing it in the "smart" kids faces when they ask everyone for an ego boost. I just love it how their face drops and they have to say "good job" and I get say it too, only in a false, patronizing kind of way.

I got the highest reading comprehension scores in my school my freshman year of high school, on some standardized test the government gave out. They basically plotted out the score you got and the appropriate level of schooling you should have for that score, and I got a score that was literally off the charts, going above the level of a college graduate. So I take it that meant I was reading at a grad student level when I was just out of middle school.

But yeah, I used to get laid, I don't know what happened, about why I don't anymore. I'll probably just make like the article said I am likely to, and hire a prostitute.

Wait, reading comprehension in high school? Wtf. Isn't it supposed to be more of a primary school thing?

Wait, reading comprehension in high school? Wtf. Isn't it supposed to be more of a primary school thing?

It was a one time thing, probably because it was the very first year that high school was open, they wanted to rank it's students according to other schools in the area. You know, so they can tell which schools need special attention.

Yeah, this is the best. I especially liked sleeping everyday in the college courses my high school offered and then annihilating everyone on the tests and finals. I just don't see why people care about shit.

Your teachers were pretty retarded then. I can spot a car salesman from an intellectual, apparently they can not.

Not in the sense of a 'leader'/salesman kind of speaker.

I have a good vocabulary and all of my Danish teachers saw me as an unusually good/bright writer, one of my earliest teachers went as far as calling me a literature genius back when I was like 9 or 10.

Still, my memory and logic/reasoning skills are far from above average - Therefore I score around average on an IQ test, which makes me an idiot.

IQ:136.

I read the article and it sounds half right. It says criminality peaks at the 70-90 IQ range, I must be a rare breed. I don't need to brag about getting laid, most people have at the age of 20.

On the other hand, every whore I've met and known are dumber than fucking rocks. So much so that I'm angered at thier stupidity.
