Hah!

According to this, there are twice as many men as women on the brightest 2% of the population.

Not so fast, though, hoss. It also says there are twice as many men as women in the least intelligent 2%.

How to explain this?
One theory holds that men seek to boost their intelligence, to make themselves
more attractive to females, while women’s chances of reproducing depend less
on their perceived intelligence.
That theory of course is poppycock. Men's motivation for boosting intelligence is not to make themselves more attractive to women. How many books have you read for the express purpose of being more attractive to the opposite sex, eh? These science nerds, sometimes I dont know what planet theyre on. Men dont boost their intelligence to be more attractive. Everyone knows that in order to achieve that, you boost your physique.

Why do men seek to boost their intelligence then? For its own sake, hoss. For its own sake. Now hand me that beer.

didn't you notice? its a good time to be a geek. women are flocking to guys who know their way around a computer. trust me.

To illustrate, as a rebuttal to your thesis, I offer as Exhibit A our colleagues from the head office.

But be that as it may, geeks didnt become geeks to attract women. They did it for its own sake. The women, if ever there indeed are some who would tolerate unkempt hair and clothes worn for weeks at a time, are a bonus.
