I don't know if theres a momentum in an intelligence quotient. There certainly isn't in an individual. Brilliant children rarely go on to do impressive things. Further more, people tend to be driven by passion to achieve, not brilliance so the rising and falling rates would more than likely be cyclical within the races while the whole of the Human Race moves forward.

And I doubt that people mate along IQ lines. Between beauty, height, money, and build its almost impossible to say people look beyond that to establish themselves with someone who is intellectually symmetrical.

So a guy who led communist china, which is more capitalist than ever before, is the reason the Chinese are the superior race...Am I hearing this correctly?

I'm sorta neutral right now, but I have to say, I don't like women I think are dumber than me (or men I think are dumber than me either). If I can't have a legitimately engaging discussion with someone, then any attraction is short lived. Sorry dumb women, go try Chris Humphries.

I'd rather be with someone who was kinder than the average and of average intelligence than the other way round.

Being really smart is not as important as just not being an idiot.

Eh, kindness is great, but if I feel like I've got to talk down to someone to avoid making them feel dumb, then, no matter how nice they are or how much I like them as a person, I'm probably going to lose interest sexually. Of course really nice people are sort of hard to find, so I might just not have found the right nice person.

If you have to talk down to someone, then that person is probably an idiot. And it doesn't take that much intelligence to not be an idiot.

So dumb women don't sexually turn you on?
