Smart women need to marry down to become mothers because there aren't enough smart men [tr]

Intelligent women should consider marrying less clever men if they want to start a family, according to researchers.

There are simply not enough brainy men to go round – so women may need to widen their search, warned the author of a report that found a growing number of professional women were freezing their eggs because they couldn’t find ‘Mr Right’.

‘There are fewer educated men in the world for educated women to partner with,’ said Marcia Inhorn, professor of anthropology at Yale University.

‘So if women want to find a partner with whom they can have children, they need a more expansive notion of who is Mr Right.

Not very precise how smart, intelligent, and educated are treated as synonyms. This is all about women with credentials want a man with a similar credential. In today's world a college degree is no indication of intelligence or smarts.

if women want to find a partner

That's the key word right now. So many, female and male, do not want to get married.

In a lot of cases, ‘education’ seems to brainwash the smarts right out of one.

More like “women buried in student loan debt for worthless degrees need to marry somebody who wasn’t dumb enough to bury themselves in student loan debt for a worthless degree to pay off their student loans for them.”

Maybe the smart men are smart enough to recognize a losing proposition when they see one.

I have found only a handful of women that were smart, capable, and not raving emotional lunatics.

Not really, I think they are dumb for not wanting to get married

They have zero risk and all of the rewards

It works out great, if it doesn’t you get half of his stuff

Maybe the institutions of higher learning ought to discriminate against men less. But that would take abandonment of Marxism, oh dear.

And oh yes: what is better, an “educated” man who frets in a feminized fashion when the car breaks down or a skilled man who can fix the problem at the side of the road?

Well said.

Exactly. It’s a conundrum for smart young men.

Well, it worked for my wife.

Women want to marry men who make more money than they do.

Feminism is a cancer in every way. Women today (if they have been "properly educated") have incorrect thinking on almost every topic. Massive brainwashing which almost guarantees that they will be unhappy victims in life. I think that's the whole purpose of making women "properly educated".

Totally old-fashioned sexist thinking on my part, but I think women are happy if they marry a strong man and focus on home life and raising children. Of course they can choose other paths, but their chance of happiness diminishes as they strive more and more to take the man's role and abandon motherhood, which is their role.

Plenty of smart men out there. That is why you can’t find them. They are smart.

At the extreme right of the bell curve, there is an overabundance of men compared to women. The population of Fields Award winners isn’t exactly a ladies’ club. But she conflates education (and, most likely, social status) with intelligence.

In today's world a college degree is no indication of intelligence or smarts.

In reality, it never was.

In the past a college education was more an indicator of a wealthy family.

Today it may even be contraindicative of intelligence and education (particularly if it is a liberal arts degree).
