The smart woman's dilemma

Ever wonder why each new generation is dumber than the last one? Ever been told by your teacher that the students before us were much smarter? You probably didn’t believe them at the time, but recently I’ve discovered first hand that it’s true! People are becoming dumber, like really dumber, like an ocean of stupidy hitting your face square in the nose. and i'm not talking 10 years younger im talking 1,2,3 years younger.

Now if one were to take a Darwinian approach of this, it would hardly seem logical that each generation is dumber than the last…should’t stupid genes be sifting out the human gene pool?

Several theories have been proposed which I hope to refute during the course of this presentation.

1- TV and video games

2- Junk food

3- Sedentary lifestyle.

Those are the top reasons people put forth as the cause of the dumbing down of nations…but is it really as simple as that?

Id like to suggest an alternative reason.

The dilemma of the smart woman.

Like any normal woman, smart women tend to want to marry only men of equal or better qualities. I mean what woman would want to listen to a man whose obviously of much lower cognitive and intellectual capability then her? Religion and social norms dictate that the view of the man is the law of the house hold, and so if the man, due to lower intelligence, decides to invest all his life savings into "hello kitty ashtrays for men", the women has to listen to him…..the smart woman would divorce him. But of course that won’t do.

Unfortunately for the smart woman, smart men tend to prefer woman of much lower brain power, so as to completely control her, and due to the fact that she is easier to tame/break/mold. Why should the man bother himself to marry the smart woman in the first place? For him it’s just a hassle since she might contradict him or question him on everything he does that is stupid.

There’s also the problem that the plain sight smart women tend to be ambitious and career oriented which would make them seem less ideal to the man who wants a servant to do his laundry, or to be fair, at least someone to take care of the kids.

Then there’s the problem of the educated smart women who seeks the Phd…she would be far too old for thy average male in his late 30s, since no matter how old a man is, he still thinks he’s young enough to marry a girl in her early 20s.

So what happens to the smart woman?

Via natural selection, her genes are getting lost in the smart woman gene’s black hole. The stupid woman is getting hitched and procreating, diluting the smart Mans smart genes and furthering the stupid man’s stupid genes, thus progressively dumbing down the nations. and lets not forget that stupid people tend not to know when to stop having kids, while smart people take into consideration costs and education and thus limit the amount of kids they have.

So, are we doomed?

There still remains hope people! Our hope lies not in the plain sight smart woman genes, but in the hidden underachieving smart woman…you know the one who tries to woo men by acting dumb and ditzy, or maybe is too lazy to study thus she gets bad grades and doesn’t intimidate the males, or perhaps doesn’t want to be labeled a nerd and thinks its cool to get bad grades….this type of woman has no problem acting dumb when it suites her, while hiding the intelligence genes safely behind a veil of stupidity….

In conclusion acting cool and trying not to get labeled a nerd may hold the key to the future of humanity…
