Monogamy And Intelligence - 1
In a previous entry I already mentioned the importance of finding a mindmate on the same level of intelligence as myself. Because I do not want to dumb down, nor do I want someone to dumb down based upon the delusion, that he is superior, because he cannot understand me. I am looking for a relationship of two intellectually equal partners.
But there is also another aspect. I am looking for a man, whose intelligence is sufficient to enable him to be absolutely monogamous.

"Why you'd be stupid to cheat on your wife: Unfaithful men have lower IQs, say scientists"

Some quotes:
"Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist from the London School of Economics and Political Science, said the smarter a man is, the less likely he is to cheat on his partner."
"Dr Kanazawa explained that entering a sexually exclusive relationship is an 'evolutionarily novel' development for them.
According to his theory, intelligent people are more likely to adopt what in evolutionary terms are new practices - to become 'more evolved'.
Therefore, in the case of fidelity, men who cannot adapt and end up succumbing to temptation and cheating are likely to be more stupid."
"Analysing the American National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, he found young adults who regarded themselves as 'very liberal' had an average IQ of 106, while those who saw themselves as 'very conservative' had an average IQ of 95."
"Similarly, those who identified themselves as 'not at all religious' had an average IQ of 103, while those who saw themselves as 'very religious' had an average IQ of 97"
