Did it take into account that most teens with high IQ's looked like this?
If one did not adapt, it was their fault.
Anecdote? I was straight A student who was popular. I have regular sex life. So how come I am out of the statistics?
Why should one be friends with somebody they feel threatened by? Friends are people you find comfortable and fun to hang out with. Positive emotions not negative ones. Most people avoid negative feelings, it is common psychology.
Again, either ditch the majority or join both sides - majority and minority although you have to bear the consequences of having a smaller social circle. Lots of girls tend to be in the majority.

Look at some movie about unpopular smart kids.
Intelligent socially well-off person has no problems with popularity.
Exactly one of my points. Many intelligent people fit such stereotype. Not exactly, but up to some point. And the reason behind the low success with opposite sex is not because of their intelligence, but other reasons.
If someone thinks such person does not get women because of his intelligence, this shows some real lack of social understanding.

You won't take this wrong if you mean what you say about sex being an interesting
topic of discussion. I think you have never found a guy that can give you multiple orgasms
all night long or else you might think differently about sex. You'll never know until you've
experienced that.
Please keep on topic of discussion... for thread and discussion continuity.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And have a Nice Day.
I am on topic just have to read between the lines. Trying to explain the relationship
between intelligence and experience. Oh and I will have a nice day thank you
very much.
en.wikipedia.org...
Intelligence is a term describing a property of the mind including related abilities, such as the capacities for abstract thought, understanding, communication, reasoning, learning, learning from past experiences, planning, and problem solving.

Actually, I do seem to recall a study that the higher the IQ the less likely of producing a child.. Although there is a correlation with cultural bias (one that I admit I have experienced), it also seems to have to do with preference.
this study concerns academically intelligent folks, but I am curious about the other type (s) of intelligence out there. How could they factor into this? What do you think?
Intelligence: capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
Intelligence isn't always about how much information you can retain
Intelligence: capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
You are probably aware of what I mean but I thought I would put it out there anyway!

I think it's hilariously telling that you are citing a picture from a movie, as proof of something, ever.

I am a female with an IQ of 118 and no children, I am 29.
It is my own choice entirely but I face a lot of pressure from society at times. People think you are weird if you are a woman that does not plan to have a family.
I have never been inclined towards having children but as time has gone on these feelings have gotton stronger.
I an traumatised by this world and I will protect them from that by not bringing them here. It wouldn't just be the outside world I would be protecting them from, it would not be fair for them to be brought up by a mother that has lost faith in humanity.
I will follow with a list of things I am afraid of when I think about children.
Bullies and the place I would go if I ever found them.
Peer pressure to be materialistic, wasteful and flippant towards fasion and gadgets. I nor the taxpayer can afford that.
Disease and my coping skills if the child or I became ill. I would be hypochondriac on behalf of my children.
Lack of support from family. My mother is bedbound and would not be able to help. I would not trust the father to stick around. We could not survive on benefits if he left as the benefits system is at breaking point.
My diet and lifestyle point toward an early death.
I think the pdfile scandle is far more vast than we could ever imagine.
Schools are overcrowded. Doctors and dentists are at breaking point.
To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?
We are on the wrong side of the industrial peak. We may even be in a second economy by the time they grew up.
War, and all that goes with it.
University costs. Lack of Jobs.
Corruption and evil.
Weather and climate uncertainty.
Looters, rioters and survivalists (after an event). Oh, and the event itself.
Bad influences inside and outside school.
False education and misinformation.
Mostly though I fear that I will pass on my fears to my children. The alternatives would to be mollycoddling or doublethink. That would be just as bad.
