Highly intelligent people at universities generally have less sex. A German study suggested academics are twice as often incels as other groups ([[Demographics#Germany]]). A study from MIT suggested incel rates vary considerably between different fields of study, being the highest for biology and the hard sciences, and lowest in humanities and art.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20050527112706/http://counterpoint.mit.edu/archives/Counterpoint_V21_I3_2001_Nov.pdf</ref> | |||
It is not clear whether this is due to high IQ behavior being unattractive or due to the prevalence of [[feminism]] and the fact that educated [[foid|foids]] are reluctant to date less educated men unless their earn substantially more (see [[hypergamy]]). | |||
One study suggested there is a sweet spot for attractiveness is of IQ is 120 and lower attractiveness above, which agrees with previously postulated hypothesis that too much of a desirable trait is detrimental, but it's not clear whether this reflects actual mating choices.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321640585</ref> The sweet spot being way above the mean demonstrates that intelligence is still under sexual selection. | |||
