None of my intelligent (130+ IQ) friends talk to women regularly. They only interface with the opposite gender selectively and rarely e.g. at a business event or doctor’s appointment, but almost never spontaneously in their own time. This has been a long term consistent observation, but today confirmation came. A new meta-analysis showed time talking to women per day decreases exponentially with lower IQ, with drop off to near 0 minutes at 145+. Talking to women is mostly appealing as a way to fill an otherwise vacant mind that has no interesting thoughts and minimal goal-directed behavior. Intelligent people find stimulation from thinking about problems and doing things, not from marinading in vaguely pleasant gossip like a soggy potato sitting in oil in a dirty oven tray
