Nevertheless, it seems clear there is a general link between a high-IQ and a delayed sexual onset in both sexes. It is not entirely certain why this is the case, despite the numerous advantages associated with a high IQ, however many factors are conceivable: | Nevertheless, it seems clear there is a general link between a high-IQ and a delayed sexual onset in both sexes.

*'''Alienation/mismatch of high IQ tasks''': Modern highly specialized high IQ behavior (especially computer work and engineering) may be sexually unattractive being | *'''Alienation/mismatch of high IQ tasks''': Modern highly specialized high IQ behavior (especially computer work and engineering) may be sexually unattractive being evolutionarily novel ([[mismatchcel|mismatch hypothesis]]) unrelated to communal life, and unrelated to naturally attractive behaviors like dancing, singing, humor and demonstration of physical strength. Though as there does not seem to be any major association between broad athletic ability and IQ, it is unlikely that this would be reflective on any physical inferiority on the behalf of intelligent people in general, but perhaps more of a reflection of the social roles high-IQ people would be drawn to in modern society.<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23267402.1937.10761836</ref><ref>https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Those-%60Dumb-Jocks%27-Are-at-It-Again%3A-A-Comparison-of-Whitley/456151e51aa3d96e4d62c18275bc00b171a6e885</ref> | ||
*'''Hard sciences''': Harder fields of study may have more incels as they are more evolutionary novel. They are also more time consuming and competitive, reducing time for socializing and hence for sex. Harder courses also tend to have fewer women in them. | *'''Hard sciences''': Harder fields of study may have more incels as they are more evolutionary novel.

*'''Feminism''': The prevalence of [[feminism]] in academia may be shaming male academics to be impotent [[nice guy]]s. The fact that women in Western countries are now substantially more educated than men (especially younger women) indicates that modern academia is not strongly selecting for intelligence but other traits, such as conscientiousness and agreeableness, and that particularly masculine men may be excluded by the academe. So the predominant ideology is likely also reflective of the demographics and traits of the people that are groomed for academia by the modern education system and society as a whole. Intelligent people may also be more likely to be able to correctly discern what ideology is currently dominant in society, and as Western countries are very liberal and very feminist (in historical terms), it is likely that more intelligent people in general therefore tend to conform themselves more to feminist attitudes. | *'''Feminism''': The prevalence of [[feminism]] in academia may be shaming male academics to be impotent [[nice guy]]s.
