We tend to meet mates via social connections
We tend to meet mates via social connections. So, we marry friends of friends.
We tend to connect best with people who are 1 to 1.5 standard deviations from us in IQ.
A man with an IQ of 140 has very few men and even fewer women that are within 2 standard deviations of him.
His social network is smaller than a person with an IQ of 100.
His dating pool is tiny.
It is exponentially worse if he has a higher IQ.
