A '''genetic dead end''' is someone who will never pass on their genes; applies to various [[nonsexual]] people. '''GDE''' is an abbreviation of "genetic dead end". It basically refers to someone who will never breed and pass on their genes; hence a dead end (stoppage) of one's genes. The GDE usually comes to their position after interacting with an alpha male. This alpha male kicks him out of the herd or flock, and he's too meek to reenter another one. The GDE's circumstance is sometimes reached because the females of his species are able to detect that he has low quality genes. In ethology-related forums, GDE's are described usually as male animals, since [[hypergamy]] is rife in the animal kingdom too. | A '''genetic dead end''' is someone who will never pass on their genes; applies to various [[nonsexual]] people.

Among humans, males are [[reproductive success|twice as likely]] to becomes GDE's than females. | Among humans, males are [[reproductive success|twice as likely]] to becomes GDE's than females. The 2 most common reasons for becoming a GDE among females are exclusive homosexuality, and high [[IQ]]. Analyses of the | ||
National Child Development Study show that more intelligent men and women express | |||
preference to remain childless early in their reproductive careers, but only more intelligent | |||
women (not more intelligent men) are more likely to remain childless by the end of their | |||
reproductive careers. Controlling for education and earnings does not at all attenuate the | |||
association between childhood general intelligence and lifetime childlessness among | |||
women. One-standard-deviation increase in childhood general intelligence (15 IQ points) | |||
decreases women’s odds of parenthood by 21–25%. Because women have a greater impact | |||
on the average intelligence of future generations, the dysgenic fertility among women is | |||
predicted to lead to a decline in the average intelligence of the population in advanced | |||
industrial nations. <ref>https://personal.lse.ac.uk/kanazawa/pdfs/SSR2014.pdf</ref> | |||
