@houseoftolstoy @ButtWorldsMan It's ideal to find as high an IQ in a female as possible for the possibility of intelligent children, yes. Males are smarter than females on average, but I don't see how that is relevant to this discussion. If she has extremely intelligent parents or grandparents but turned out to be only average or even slightly below, but she has other factors such as a history of good immunity or she comes with connections to a family business, lower intelligence might be okay.
@DoubleD @ButtWorldsMan It is relevant as some men will think just because they are smarter than women on average that being selective on a woman's intelligence is not important. I don't mean she has to be a genius or "on your level," but rather that she should at least have some intellectual competence if you are seeking a wife. Average would still qualify.
@houseoftolstoy @ButtWorldsMan Then they are in error in their thinking.
@houseoftolstoy @ButtWorldsMan As with so many things, the factors at play when selecting a female for reproduction are numerous.
