Th-Th-Th-Thread time! Today's subject: Smart women.
I do not actually interact much with American members of Mensa but due to some strange circumstances I have found myself in an unofficial Mensa Discord server administered by two young ladies.

I do not actually interact much with American members of Mensa but due to some strange circumstances I have found myself in an unofficial Mensa Discord server administered by two young ladies.
I have made some observations.
Mensa is like 4:1 male in its gender ratio and seems even more skewed in online spaces. I have VERY little experience with young super high IQ women.
The two ladies in this Discord server, both 20-somethings, had a couple of interesting things in common:

In the span of a few lines of small talk in the general room I learned the following:
1. Both of them dated MUCH older men - one a man in his 70's, the other a man in his 50's
2. Both of them, totally unprompted, revealed explicit details of their sex lives with these older men

My mind is always seeking patterns. This event brought to mind another exchange I had recently on Twitter with a very intelligent young women. Out of respect I shan't say who. She has a decent following, is a respected scientist, and is in a polyamorous marriage to an older man.
This scientist woman deleted a tweet I had responded to because she thought I was alluding to an insulting meme about women's brains being "hamsters." We had a polite DM exchange wherein she said the following:
Note again the cavalier totally unsolicited details of her sex life. Like, this wasn't even remotely relevant to what we were talking about lol.
Perhaps becoming Catholic has made be a bit of prude. Perhaps living in Japan has disconnected me from western sex culture...

No Japanese girl would EVER talk like this with male strangers - not unless she were drunk and surrounded by close friends.
Yet the two Mensa ladies told me how older men used their tongues and "toys" on them and a scientist made known to me her standards for one night stands.

I could not help but combine these three cases in my mind.
Why is it that young high IQ western women:
1. Date way older men?
2. Are extremely open and provocative about their sexual proclivities?

The second characteristic I think is a consequence of feminism - this masculinization of women. Predictably it manifests in a caricatured form.
Men ARE more open about their sexual conquests but not to this degree. A group of men meeting for the first time don't talk like this.

I mean it would be super cringe if a guy joined a group of men in a Discord chat and immediately was like, "Yeah I got this 19 year old piece of ass that sucks like a pro!"
Women, trying to act like men, often over-compensate.

There's also an impertinence to female vulgarity around sex - a kind of DARING someone to call them out.
The double standard is cute too. If an old man in this mixed company had started bragging about his sexual exploits with young girls it would not have been received well.

The second trait - the proclivity to date older men - is also interesting. It's actually quite rational for young smart women to do this. Older men are usually higher status, wealthier, more stable, able to mentor them and support their careers through networking, etc.
I suspect also these women like that older men can "put them in their place." Perhaps they are seeking a male authority figure. Maybe it's daddy issues.
Older guys won't put up with their bullshit. Chicks dig that. Makes them feel feminine and submissive.

Considering this, I think I understand why female IQ tends to cluster around the mean. In my observation very high IQ women tend to be neurotic and high maintenance.
Humility is attractive in women and intelligence makes humility very hard. I know this from experience.

I pray that I only have sons. My fear is that God has a sense of humor. I have not always...treated women reverently...
An intelligent daughter would be a fitting punishment. Sparring night and day with a female version of myself is basically my definition of hell.

As per custom ending thread with some music!
This song basically sums up my feelings about humans these days.
