Small college towns obviously have higher-than-average-intelligence women, but often without the big city snobby attitude.
Cities with the smartest girls?

Yes, Thai women are routinely acknowledged as the most intelligent girls on the planet.
The masseuse I go to can't keep her lies straight. She forgets which lies she told last time and gets confused regularly.
"I study how cut hair 6 months in Thailand. But forget how, so work massage."
I have boyfriend, he pay everything. I ask money he send." A week later: "I work 7 days a week, no money."
"I want nice guy." 2 minutes later. "I need bad boy, nice guy boring."
It's great entertainment.

I used to say that I wanted a smart girl, but now that I've been with a few smoking hot girls, I will take the 8-9 any day over a smart girl. Sure, conversation is totally different, but the hot girl is a whole lot more fun of a ride
NQ is what truly matters.
Nasty Quotient.
Nast nasty girls who like it dirty. That's the stuff I remember later. Not looks, not conversation, not love. Nastiness.

I would say that in practice the average guy tends to hook up with a girl (long term) with a slightly lower IQ than himself. This makes sense since guys are said to have a slightly higher average IQ's than girls. So it's just assortive mating. Not that most guys consciously care about a girls IQ one way or the other. We care about girls being hot, and some other personal characteristics that are not really dependent on intelligence. But things typically work out were like is matched to like in terms of IQ and many other things. The invisible hand of the relationship market if you will.
For guys who really do have a very high IQ things get much more complicated since the higher you go the fewer women there are with that IQ. At ultra high IQ level I think the ratio is 1000's of men to 1 woman. i.e. Women's IQ distribution curve is more compressed, men's a bit flatter with more guys very high (or very low) compared to women. Incidentally Harvard's ex-president, Summers, got into massive trouble for pointing this out. In fact it's the reason he is "ex"-president.
So, an ultra high IQ guy has almost zero chance of even meeting a girl at his level, unless they specifically meet through a high IQ society. But even here the problem is that very high IQ is not cost-free. There are negative personal effects - from around 145 I think. But this is for men. Women experience major psychological adjustment trouble at a lower level. There's an interesting, if rather long winded article discussing this, amongst other things, here:

JNF. Let's say you wanted to have kids at some point. To give your kids a chance intellectually doesn't the mom need to have done brains? Some smarts you are just born with. I get you can read and study a bunch but natural smarts is a good start. Just curious what your thoughts are. Thanks.
One day I'll have to go look carefully at those studies which say intelligence in the mother is critical to the child's. I have a feeling that it's full of massaged numbers like other feminist-influenced studies. It's only anecdotal but I simply do not see this correlation in my extended family. My dad's side of the family have high IQs, both he and I are over 140. My mum, bless her and her amazing cooking, is a few standard deviations below us. All the kids in the family that have high IQs appear to inherit that from the father. The women - even high IQ ones - who marry dumber (but rich lol) men have much dumber kids. Smart dad + dumb mum always seem to produce smart kids.
OTOH, the mother's health has a much bigger effect on the child's health. I'd worry more about that than intelligence.
^^^^This.
The men on my father's side have married women with 115 or below IQ and their sons have been 130 or above.

FWIW, little girls score higher on standardized tests ("they're smarter") than little boys.
...and then puberty hits.
boys/men score higher for the rest of their lives...

Where are people going to have their IQ tested?
A lot of numbers are being thrown around so I'm wondering if people are using some random website.

Websites, paper tests, correlate your SAT or GRE scores.
I got tested in my first year at uni when Mensa was recruiting among high achieving students. Didn't want to be a member though, thought it was rather wanky.

This.
I'm sure that an obese mensa member will have a smaller chance of producing an above-average intelligence child compared to a normal IQ and normal weight woman.

My friend's sister is in fact an obese Mensa member, who is married to a doctor and has produced a few fat kids. Despite her high IQ (highest among her siblings), she has close to zero curiosity and is a bore. You wouldn't be able to tell that she has high IQ, with her constantly going on the BS detox diet and lame lazy exercise regime to lose weight with bugger all success. Her kids seem to do ok at school but nothing outstanding, and they're already fucked for life with the terrible diet and lifestyle habits they've got from their mother.

but its like soon as I cum... I come to my senses."
i live with a girl that is a bonafide hottie. not just that i think she is hot, but everywhere we go people tell me how gorgeous she is.
that being said, after three years, i can barely muster the strength to fuck her. she comes on to me hard and strong and i am uninterested.
i will, however, happily bang the 6's and 7's i have on rotation. the desire is intense and the sex is hot.
my point is saying this, is that a girl's hotness seems to have little correlation with long term attractiveness.

A hot girl who is completely retarded and annoying ceases to be hot. I know a girl like this. Very good looking, but the bitch is a retard. Like a bumbling fucking idiot who is always quoting LMFAO and Kesha. "Hey party rockers!! WHOOOOO!!" "Don't be a square bear!" "Sorry for party rockin!"
She would come into the bar I worked at, order a drink, and try to walk away without paying with a stupid ass grin on her face that she thought was cute. I never gave her free drinks, but the old bartender did so she tried with me also.
I can't even stand to look at her face she's so fucking stupid and annoying.
I could care less if a girl is "smart", but I can't hang with a complete moron no matter how hot she is.

I am curious about this. Is there any evidence of any hereditary traits, not just IQ, that are more dependent on either the mother or the father?
If this is the case it would have quite a far reaching impact on the way we view genetics and human biology.
As for some high IQ people not being intellectually curious. There's no guarantee someone with a high IQ will be useful, interesting or the like. While high IQ is undoubtedly a requirement for achievement in many fields it's not anywhere close to sufficient. If only this were the case. The world would move forward at an accelerated pace.

BKK definitely has some dumb girls. It also has the dumbest expats. Fat, middle aged white guys who come here and fuck around lower Sukhumvit with Isaan girls and hookers, then complain about the quality of girls. It's madness.
Well bad hussar's earlier post should assuage some fears, if there are 1000 super smart guys for every 1 super smart girl, and this is all occurring randomly then I'd say the chances of having a smart son if the man is smart is great.
