I think it is more of a thing like James says--emotional quotient (EQ), than just IQ for the desire of being with someone...

I hate to say it, but the Brits are rather entrenched in their Victorian traditions of dating, although they themselves rarely practice... Otherwise, how could "Bridget Jones" be written?

I think they often compete with the free love displayed by the Scandinavians, French, Spainairds and the Italians... It is okay to have a lover, and a spouse... But don't gloat on that too much...

If anything the Americans are more hung up on this than the Brits themselves...

There are reasons why societies want both men and women highly educated... Just look at how it is done in Japan, China and other well to do Pacific Rim countries... Then just make a correlation to the oppression of women in 3rd world nations and the care of their children... Ignorant with low IQ women has strong implications of the poverty of children...

I have yet to see high IQ and intelligent women have their children suffer and not have a spouse in the mix...

The bimbo thing is a Pornucopia Hollywood fantasy... Only in the movies does a dumbo woman get a good man...
