Suddenly it explains why I can't get any.

My personal favorite quote out of the whole article:

Religiousness correlates with lower IQ, and as HS shows in the same post, intelligent people were also more likely to say that premarital sex was not immoral

Zing.

correlation.

black people are criminals.

It's definitely correlation, like any study, but they do propose a lot of explanations in the article.

Personally, I think it's a self esteem thing. People who are smarter tend to have a higher self esteem (I'm assuming), so they don't feel as much need to prove their worth to themselves or to others. That's just my opinion on the matter, though.

I dont think religious people have low self esteem

[Furious]

I dont think religious people have low self esteem

Huh?  All I see is:

Religion = Lower IQ

Or were you riding off of iago's comment?

Isn't this just stating the obvious? Guys who are intelligent are more likely to be nerds, and therefore less likely to get any female contact whatsoever? Certainly explains why Newby still has his v-card.

You say that, but look at the stereotypical nerdy one: Computer Science. It's one of the degrees where people are least likely to be virgins.

He's just saying that to make himself sound cooler. We all know iago's still a virgin too.

Pretty much, but the evidence/research (if you can call it that) behind it was a good read.

No, the link didn't work before. But yeah, that's hilariously fake. Hah! You wish.

The graph is right in the middle of the linked article. You can't pick and choose which parts of the article you believe, which is what you seem to be doing...
