Teens who are slightly dumber than average have the best chance of losing their virginity early, while those on the very high and very low ends of the intelligence spectrum have the worst chance. Thoughts?
[Please don't derail this with "b-b-b-but IQ doesn't tell you anything about intelligence!" *Yawn*...] |
This is bull. That was a woman's college btw. |

So what? Similar results were found at MIT, Princeton, and Harvard, and in a general adolescent population, as reported by the article.
I'm guessing you had sex at an early age? ;) |

| I don't think they "wait" per say. That would imply choice. They're just as horny as every other adolescent. They're just not cool/popular enough and/or too socially retarded to pick up when they're young. Some might develop an ability to socialise normally later in life; or find a social invalid of the opposite gender to mate with once they enter college - an environment with a higher concentration of brainy but socially underdeveloped individuals. |

Serious Question:
Who's to sasy that a Mathematician isn't simply intelligent in Mathematics but not Socially Intelligent (knowing how to behave in situations in order to get sex)?
I'm being dead serious with that question. It is valid because we have different types of intelligence and it could definitely be argued that some people could be extremely intelligent in one area and not in other. Like autistic children. |

Its actually quite funny when you think of it. The purpose of an animals life is to mate as frequently as possible in order to spread its genes to ensure success of its specie. So essentially those who get laid more (by whatever means) will essentialy be the most dominant (genetically from our species.) |
I do not know why so many people think this even though the evolved behavior of thousands of animal species directly contradicts it.
There are plenty of animals that will forego opportunities to reproduce, or even actively avoid intercourse with a willing partner. Those behaviors aren't flukes or aberrations; they occur across far too many species to reach any conclusion but that they have been selected for.
And that's precisely what we should expect. For a population of large, complex organisms remotely comparable to human beings, there are probably thousands of variables when it comes to timing of reproduction, ratios of organisms at different stages of maturity, population density, competition, availability of food and other resources, et cetera, all of which affect and in some cases limit the degree to which an organism's engaging in intercourse is likely to produce a net evolutionary benefit. |

| What if you lose your virginity to one sex early on but the other sex later on? Does it average out? |

In the end however it would definatley be more beneficial to focus on iq type intelligence rather then social intelligence if we want to be a more sophisticated and developed society. |
No. |

To be honest it's probably just the ones that try harder in school get further in university... and they're the ones who aren't getting laid.
From what I've seen, similar sortof people that have lower intelligence don't lose their virginity any earlier. Seems to be based a fair bit on personality. |

Idiocracy is wrong, though funny. Average IQ is actually increasing. That doesn't address the question of whether dumb people have sex earlier, though.
:p |
