One advantage of having an intelligent wife is she can easily and cheerfully homeschool the kids right through HS.
Well I certainly think that is advantageous. But that might require a 110 IQ. Someone with a 135 IQ might feel less satisfied with being a schoolteacher.
My point is that when you get in to the really high IQ range, there are relatively few women there and I think that is a phenomenon that deserves some investigation. It is noticeable. Possibly estrogen is a factor.
I mean low IQ moms are terrible moms. They acciddentally kill their kids through stupidity and neglect constantly. But there might be some sort of trade off at medium and high IQ ranges between having a devoted homebody to raise your kids and having super high IQ kids with a woman that would rather pursue her phd than raise them.
Yeah, I don't disagree. There is a sweet spot. Most very high IQ people are socially retarded and would be cold, distant, reptilian parents.
Its interesting, there seem to be a lot of trade offs with intellect. I mean look at blacks, they are great fucking dancers. They are basically neurologically wired for break dancing and not at all for math.
