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]]). Harder fields of study may have higher incel rates as they are more time consuming. | 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 at an IQ of 120 and with declining attractiveness above, which agrees with previously postulated hypothesis that too much of a desirable trait is detrimental.

==IQ and sexual success | |||
A study conducted by Halpern et. al (2000) that used a total sample of N = 11,696 adolescents from two longitudinal surveys of adolescent health and sexual behavior, measured the IQs of participants using a simple and equivalent measure of IQ—The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Revised (PPVT–R)—which has a correlation of .64 with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, indicating that the test is a good measure of general intelligence. | |||
Combining this measure with reports of sexual activity, sexual maturation, and mother's level of education, a statistical analysis of the data revealed that the most sexually successful individuals seem to be those with an IQ of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#/media/File:IQ_distribution.svg 70-110.] This IQ range consists of the borderline mentally impaired at the lower end (70, an IQ below this threshold is generally considered to constitute an intellectual disability) to somewhat above average (110) at the higher end. | |||
The peak was at the 75-90 IQ range for males, with these males being found to be the least likely to be virgins as adolescents. | |||
At the low end of the spectrum, an interesting trend emerges, as we see that low IQs affect male and female sexual activity differently. 46.7% of low IQ men were sexually active, while only 18.4% of low IQ women were. Thus low IQ men were 2.5x as likely as low IQ women to be sexually successful.<ref>Hapern CT, Joyner K, Udry JR, Suchindran C. 2000. ''Smart teens don't have sex (or kiss much either).''
