Today, most high-IQ women are selected out by the educational system, and sent off to high-paying jobs in finance and consulting, where they age out and end up single, childless career women in their thirties and then forties.
This is, obviously, dysgenic. The women with the best genes are having the fewest children, often zero.
How about if the High IQ women — let’s just put the cutoff at 130, which is two standard deviations from the mean and represents the Top 2.5% in raw intelligence — should, in principle, have at least four children.
You know who you are. I have known some of these High IQ girls, and they know they are brainy. I had one friend who went to Tokyo University, which is sort of like Japan’s version of Harvard, if Harvard was competitive. “You must have studied a lot in high school,” I said, making innocent small talk. “No, not really,” she replied. She just sort of drifted in. High IQ — in this case, probably 160+.
160 IQ is four standard deviations above the mean of 100 — statistically, in the 99.994% percentile, or occurring in about 1:50,000.
Those are some valuable genes. She should have at least six children, just on general principles.
And, she should marry a man much like her. Not, perhaps, IQ 160+ — that is very rare — but at least 130, which is not too uncommon, in certain circles.
Unfortunately, women like this tend to be very much defined by their braininess, and consequently do not pay much attention to beauty and appearance, which they, like the Ancient Philosophers (which they read, for fun, because that’s what High IQ girls do), tend to dismiss as trivial and irrelevant.
Yes, it is trivial, but not quite irrelevant. You can be High IQ and also A Babe. So, why not?
That’s called Winning. So, do it.
The actress Sharon Stone has a recorded IQ of 158.
British mathematician Ruth Lawrence had a recorded IQ of 175. If she just devoted 2% of her energy to vain beauty, then she could have been a Mathematician Babe with a 175 IQ. Which is, obviously, fun. She graduated from Oxford at age 13 (graduated not enrolled), and then … became a mother of four.
Cindy Crawford is not only a Babe; for two decades, Babedom was defined as: to what degree do you resemble Cindy Crawford? Her measured IQ is 154.
Yes, you can just … do that.
Marilyn Vos Savant supposedly has the highest IQ ever recorded, of 228, according to Guinness Book. Personally, I kind of doubt it — she might just be a “media creation,” i.e., an actress. Very high IQ girls like that are rarely satisfied with a simple newspaper column, even a popular one. Although, she also had two children, and perhaps was smart enough not to waste her time with careerist nonsense.
Pictures of her are rare, but here she is on David Letterman in 1986, Age 40.
Plus, these women also tend to be well educated, and from better families, for the simple reason that their parents are probably also higher-IQ, and probably have higher incomes and more education as a result.
Basically, these women should marry their brothers, collectively speaking — the brothers of other women like them. Probably, they are also higher-IQ themselves, and probably make more money, enough to maintain a single-income household easily; if not, perhaps, luxuriously.
So, brainy girls: Get Married Young, to a man who is much like yourself, or much like your brothers. Have a lot of children — I would say a minimum of Four, if you have an IQ over 130. Educate them well, which probably means homeschooling. If you like, you can have a career after Age 50, when the kids are out of the house. Since you don’t actually have to make money if you don’t want to, it can be the kind of thing that is also fun. Also, you can Be A Babe, and also a Sex Goddess, which is not really that hard, so why not?
