Promiscuity and low iq

This question presupposes (incorrectly) that IQ and promiscuity can somehow be plotted on an X-Y axis grid. While this can and has been done, it hardly tells a story worth telling.

Almost all studies that I have seen do show a correlation between IQ scores in women and promiscuity. There is a general trend for women to drop off in promiscuity as they increase in to the higher range of (female) IQs. So, on average, women who have 130 IQs will report fewer lifetime sexual partners than those in the 90-120 range. There is also a slight dip in promiscuity in women who are just slightly below average in IQ.

But, you have to look at the other variables in the equation. In the upper bounds of IQ, you are dealing with people (women) who often have concomitant psychological disorders (mood disorders, high-functioning autism, etc.). That can lead to social issues like anxiety and avoidance. Hence, lower sexual partner count.

You also have to factor in religion and metaphysical belief. There tends to be a "valley effect" in this variable when compared to IQ. People (both men and women) tend to be more religious (and more devoutly so) as you approach the margins. Lower IQ individuals tend to be more religious than the moderately intelligent. But, in a seeming contradiction, high IQ individuals are also more religious than moderately intelligent people. Religiosity does affect promiscuity (more so in men than women, but still).

There are a number of other factors that can play in here - political views, education, ethnicity, so on and so forth.

It's not A->B->C on this one. But, I would generally employ the heuristic that girls of middling IQ are going to be the easiest.

As to prostitutes, you are going to have to deal with that on a case-by-case basis. Keep in mind, there are prostitutes who do not have sex outside of work. There are prostitutes who go on vacation to party spots and don't have sex (not even once) while they are there. There are prostitutes who retire and enter a female monk mode. So, they might be practically promiscuous but it is not their personal nature to be so. And, pros run the IQ spectrum from literally retarded to genius, so, again, hard to reach a conclusion.

So as a reproductive strategy, keeping into account the regression to the mean, one would do best to avoid prostitutes and promiscuous women, lest his children meet the same fate (if female).

I am just supposing here, that one of the traits of low iq in women is promiscuity.

Has somebody read anything to prove or disprove this?

I've read studies that show the opposite. Someone with higher IQ is able to rationalize it because of contraception etc. whereas a dumb girl is more likely to get ASD.

two of my plates have 131 iq and 126 iq respectively. I made them do the IQ test on queendom. I try to get every plate to do this + a dark triad test.

My IQ scores have ranged from 117 to 131.
I would not trust the results of any on line IQ test. You need to take a real IQ test like a Stanford-Binet, Otis-beta, Otis-gamma in a proctored setting. You also need to know the standard deviation of your particular test. Most tests have a standard deviation of 15 or 16 but that is not always the case.

And because of regression to the mean, even if they did reproduce, they did it with a "loser", which, if my theory is true, would mean that between the prostitute's low IQ and the man's, the son(s) are pretty much doomed.

The crux of the idea is that the stigma associated with prostitutes and promiscuous women has a root in practical reality, not only in religion or tradition. People despise these women because they are reproductive black holes, the same way people stay away with women with IQs of 150 because they are, for practical purposes, crazy.

Larry flynt used to comment that his magazine appealed to two types of people: blue collar workers and highly educated people. You can take highly educated as a proxy for high intelligence.

In my experience, highly intelligent women are more likely to be interested in kinkier sex. That's not the same thing as promiscuous, it's more qualitative factor than quantity.

I describe myself as a sapeosexual in my online profile.
Women who think they are intelligent eat that shit up. As an aside, I created my online profile as if it were a horoscope. There's a little bit in there for everyone.

Who actually honestly cares about IQ as it's the only way to measure a person. There's a lot more to life than that. Smart girls, dumb girls, average girls can all be sluts. The only thing you should be worried about is knocking that IQ down a few points from beating up that pussy so bad her she gets just a little brain damage or at least when she deals with you.

I don't: have my copy of The Bell Curve handy, but the CDC suggests there is a modest connection if you take education as a proxy for intelligence. However, given the statistics there will be plently of outliers.

Among females age 15-44, those with a bachelor degree are 5 times as likely to be a virgin as those without a high school diploma and roughly half as likely to have 15+ lifetime partners, and have slightly lower median lifetime n-counts. The median for a high school grad is 4.1 while it is 2.9 for a college grad.

Keep in mind that of those studied, about 1-in-6 were teenagers about half of whom were virgins and hand a median n-count of 1.4 and less than 1% had very high n-counts. That would tend to drag down the numbers for those with less education. Unfortunately, the numbers are not broken down by age AND education but the implication is that women in their late 20s and on are more likely to be promiscuous if they are high school dropbouts rather than college grads.

In terms of hookers, it's a mixed bag depending on what market they are in. Streetwalkers don't strike me as being all that smart. OTOH, dominatrixes don't actually have to fuck their clients. Porn star Asia Carrera is a Mensa member. I helped organize a buddy's stag and the hostess we hired was paying her way through med school.

The other thing about statistics is that you can have a strong correlation between two traits, but at the extremes the correlation breaks down. Basketball players tend to be tall, but the best players are not the tallest. Back when UFC had no weight classes, MMA fighters tended to be big guys, but the best fighters were not the biggest.

Similarly, girls with lower IQ tend to be more promiscuous, but the most promiscuous are not the dumbest and vice versa.

It's a strange correlation for the dumbest and smartest to be more religious considering that the tails of the Bell Curve mostly vote Democrat. Plus, liberal chicks are notoriously more slutty than conservatives. It's well known that self-proclaimed atheists, as a group, have higher IQs than, say, Baptists or Evangelicals. I'd like to see the studies that suggest that high IQ individuals tend to be more religious.

I'll be the first to admit it, outliers contradict general trends. But the general trends, as described by you, confirm my theory.

So yes, Asia Carrera is a Mensa member, and Traci Lords went into normal acting, but they are the exceptions in a mass of basic, alienated, rough girls whose only achievement in life was not to have become fat, and save for heavy makeup, are total butterfaces or one notch up from that.

So, as far as single men are concerned, mega-sluts, sluts and prostitutes are to be avoided, for objective genetic reasons that go beyond religion or cultural conditioning. That's the idea, and so far it's not been disproven.

Life outcomes for many (but not all) highly promiscuous women tend to be bleak (to me). I agree with you on that. As far as practical reality vs. tradition vs. religion, NN Taleb has been arguing for the past few years that they are functionally the same thing. Inherited tradition and religious revelation are considered approaches to reality. I agree with his stance on this. And, yes, looking at it from almost every known position in culture, society, and religion, across time and geography, most groups develop an, at least, aversion to rewarding female promiscuity. There is good reason for that, and I think you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. The issue is that we are talking about our perception of her reproductive fitness. And we are speaking about it in an academic way (or, at least, I am), as opposed to a street-level view. It may simply be that a girl with a 90 IQ doesn't process that having three different kids with three different (loser) fathers is failure on her part. It may become even foggier when you add in social (media) and government (monetary) support that either ameliorate some of the negative effects or actually encourage such behavior.

So, while I do agree that there is a perceivable, base nature, negative response to female promiscuity in both men and women, and I also agree that (ceteris paribus) IQ can have an effect on promiscuity, I don't know that it is a leading variable "in the current year".

I may have been less than precise in that statement. It is not as if church pews are packed with Mensa members. And the effect has always been explained (where I have read in to it) as that "valley effect". It isn't that the highly intelligent are more religious, it is that the median IQ types are less religious than anyone else. The leading hypothesis I have seen on this relates to "some education fallacies" but that is way too obscure to get in to here.

Of course, there are a number of studies that attempt to state (straight out) that atheists score much higher on IQ tests than the religious. I've seen studies that were arguing about standard deviation differences. But, I have always found backing and methodology issues with such studies. I am willing to admit that there is mixed data, but in the social sciences that is par for the course. I would link to some population studies, but since they have my name on them, that is not going to happen.

I just love self-reported IQ scores. They seem to average around 130, 2 standard deviations above the general population in the states. The percentage of claimed genius-level IQs are simply staggering given how few people score that high.

Not accusing the respondents of giving misinformation as those with average or below average scores are obviously more reluctant to divulge them.

It's because of the bullshit online IQ scores. According to the one I took I'm a 138, but I a few people I know who took the same one who arent that bright scored a 120ish, so I'm pretty sure their all nonsense.

Agreed ^ I would believe that a forum like this brings a good amount of high IQ men though because intelligent people are more likely to be into the self improvement/social psychology discussed here.

Yes, you hot the nail on the head. "In the current year", genetic dead ends are subsidized by the state and various institutions to such a level that curves are flattened, trends don't last and you can almost not infer anything from anything any more.

It is also true that:

1 For the FIRST time in world history, the lifestyle of such a large amount of genetically unfit people is artificially brought up, by the way of subsidies, to that of people with a regular IQ of 100. That is distorting society to a level that the regular laws of ethics and morals do not really matter any more. Being religious has become something akin to bowing to lightning. We are left with a set of laws that must be enforced by police, with violence. Nobody believes any more in the general good of society or such things.

Take for example a single mom, with three children, no job. Any time in history, she would live to the ripe age of 30, and her children would be slaves or criminals. That would strongly suggest to women to not become single moms.

We are effectively living in a society where fundamental laws are subverted, kind of waking up and the law of gravity is suspended. How long can it last?

2 For the first time in history, such a large amount of money is extracted from taxpayers to go directly into the pockets of people just taking it to survive, a crude and direct transfer of wealth, and for the first time in history, when the extracting of money gets to a level where it is not politically bearable before revolts start, the money is just printed. Any and every time that has happened, a revolution started, with dire consequences for the people that took part in the plundering (the single moms etc.). How long can it last?

3 The cultural revolution of 1968 that started the idea that social impossibilities become possibilities, like living a single mom lifestyle or being overtly homosexual, is being contradicted and demonstrated false by a constellation of blogs, videos and so on, and this is being done with increased cultural sophistication. The left has such a large cultural gap compared to the (alt) right that they must appeal DIRECTLY to welfare leeches and DIRECTLY in terms of drawing blood from the system - no more ideals, dreams, etc. How long can it last?

So yes, "in the current year", curves are smoothed out, and the living is easy. But I believe we are in a "morals bubble", and when it pops, it will be such a large reset, that it will stay in history books.

people who are attracted to the roosh v forum will definitely be higher IQ than the average population.

have to bypass social conditioning, realize that you need to surround yourself with like minds, realize that strategy trumps going off pure emotion in social interaction etc.

Also High IQ people tend to cluster because can relate better to each other so makes sense that we'd cluster in one spot to discuss ideas.

Though yes, what you suggest is often true. Eg) a Swedish study on drivers 80% of people rated themselves as above average drivers which is statistically negligible.

Also, when people lie they don't inflate by that much. People lie 'a little'. eg) if someone is 117 IQ they'll say they're 120. Lieing more than that creates too much cognitive dissonance. [Image: smile.gif]

"people who are attracted to the roosh v forum will definitely be higher IQ than the average population"

I have no doubts about that. I just think most overestimate the degree. I'd estimate it as less than a standard deviation. Something along the lines of 105-110. Less than 1 in 400 people score higher than 145; roughly 1 in 50 score 130 or higher. Individuals who test so highly are simply too rare to comprise such a high percentage of forum participants.

I suspect your typical RVF member is above average but IQ is not everything. I attended a left coast law school. I clock in at 138, my buddy (now an ER doctor) was 143 and my other friend - 5th in our class - was probably at about 150. Given the median LSAT scores the average student was about 130. However, they were mostly a bunch of idiots: brain dead leftist NPCs.

In my experience low IQ girls are typically more sexually irresponsible and have poor impulse control and choice making. High IQ girls, on the other hand, are more likely to be sexually sophisticated and have lots of "deviant" fantasies. Some times I'm still shocked by the stuff I hear from high IQ girls.

There are just way too many confounding variables to get anything meaningful from IQ alone.

Girls with lower IQs tend to be from poorer families. Their parents often are unable to monitor them and this makes them more likely to be in situations where sex is likely. Very few girls from wealthy families have sex early. There is a snowball effect to having sex earlier and age of first intercourse is an extremely powerful predictor of promiscuity. Women who lose their virginity before age 15 have more lifetime partners, higher amounts of unprotected sex, etc.

Girls with higher IQs tend to be from wealthier families who are able to monitor them. They are more likely to have a parent who does not have to work and will be present with them. They are likely to go to schools with better monitoring and lower risk peers. So, it's much more likely they will have sex later on in life which lowers a lot of other risk factors and lowers total partner count.

Keep in mind that most people are not as promiscuous as you might think. Roughly 40% of people have had four or fewer partners in their lifetime. As much as this forum rants and raves about hypergamy and all women being sluts etc, the actual number of partners for women has been on the decline and the current generation of women are the least promiscuous in over sixty years. Most of the thinking around promiscuity is outdated-- the 18-26 year olds of today are not the same as the ones of ten years ago. Especially given the rise of the helicopter parent, the improvement in monitoring technology (cellphones), and the decrease of unmonitored time resulting from the decline of car culture. All of these things give rise to a less promiscuous generation and means getting the bang is going to become more challenging.

More useful predictors of promiscuity:

1. Drinking. Heavy Episodic Drinking. As Roosh said, alcohol is basically sex fuel. The more a girl drinks, the more likely she is to engage in promiscuous behavior. If you meet a girl and she's drunk, odds are that's a normal thing for her.
2. Tattoos. Duh.
3. Feminist / anti-slut-shame posts on social media. Though they usually phrase these as if they are defending "someone else", the thing is, non-sluts don't care about what sluts do and aren't even thinking about it.
4. Depression. Sarcasm and pessimism are good indicators of depression. Depression is highly correlated with promiscuity in young women.
5. Low Waist to Hip Ratio. Women with lower WHRs have more casual sex. "Females in our sample with low WHR reported sex at earlier ages, more sex partners, more EPCs, and more times having been EPC partners. These findings extend those of Mikach and Bailey (1999) who found that women with low WHRs have more casual sex."
6. Parents are Divorced. "In addition to an increased likelihood of being sexually active, girls from divorced families are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, to have more frequent sexual intercourse, and to have more sexual partners"
7. Had Sex Early. Already discussed above. "For women the strongest predictors of sexual promiscuity were marital status and age at first intercourse."
8. No Church Attendance or Religion.
9. Post Graduate Education.
10. many male friends/coworkers.
11. Unpatriotic behavior/ideals.
12. Pro-homosexuality.

I got lazy but there are good studies backing up all of the above. While 7 might be hard to find out, some of the others are really easy.
