Food for thought...



Problems for young women (and men) these days. This is one of the not so many reasons to count your blessings for being older and not have to worry about this sort of thing.

Written by Boris Johnson, British MP, on the Telegraph:

"Since the emergence of our species, it has been a brutally sexist feature of romance that women on the whole — and I stress on the whole — will want to mate/procreate with men who are either on a par with themselves, or their superior, in socio-economic and intellectual attainment. A recent study shows that if a man's IQ rises by 16 points, his chances of marrying increase by 35 per cent; if a woman's IQ rises by 16 points, her chances of getting hitched decline by the same amount."
