Third of young women would swap IQ for larger breasts

First point, studies have shown men are more likely to choose a nice butt with no boobs to big boobs and no ass.
Second, they can improve the shape of the breast and both augmentation and reduction surgeries involve reshaping the breast (beyond making it bigger and smaller)
Third, can we please avoid "womens with big boobs are stoopid!!". It's not true and offensive.

I agree on all three points.  Especially #1 and most especialy #3. My wife is gifted in both regions, and she's one of the smartest people I know.

That said, for women to trade IQ for bigger boobs is just equal time.  Men have been losing IQ because of big boobs for most of history.

Not when they're banging the pool boy.



Girls, you're welcome.

Quoted for the frakking truth, indeed.

and this ceases to be a good thing if women become to stupid to take advantage of it.

I can't believe you like money too. We should hang out.

Just when you think APS is beginning to bore. . . . . bang, outta nowhere we're discussing boobs and brains.

I can't recall the sage, but it went something like this:
"You marry your first wife 'for better or worse,' you marry your second wife for 'better,' period."



The men in the photo are demonstrating the usual Mexican/S American pattern of successful men marrying themselves Anglo/Euro descent trophy wives.  These guys are 90%-100% of European descent.  If they were more mestizo or nearly all amerind, the drive to dump mestizo wife #1 for anglo trophy wife #2 would be even greater.  Photos of the top end of Mexican society all looks like this...until some squat amerind dude gets some juice and upends the societal apple cart.  Then, he dumps mestizo wife #1 and starts the cycle over again...

It's been done many times before with just one photo.

should I recognize that person?

High IQ is almost a trap. You go through life expecting things should be easier, because you're "smart", or people notice and also tell you you're "smart", however your intelligence only really seems to help you with parlor tricks, trivia, or other minutiae that never helps you get farther in the real world, save maybe being wittier in a discussion forum such as this one.

The other thing high IQ seems to be good for is cataloging and being ever aware of exactly how you're failing at life as compared to lower IQ but more "driven" people.

Or you get bothered by things you notice that others don't.

I will hazard a guess he is rich.

[Monkeyleg]

Nah. I think they're from a tight-knit Greek family, and that's his granddaughter. Greek grandfathers always grab granddaughters' tushes as a sign of respect.

That guy's too damn ugly to be Greek. Gotta be English.

Six weeks after their romantic Roman wedding, it appears the honeymoon still isn't over for Formula One
boss Flavio Briatore and his new wife Elisabetta Gregoraci.
The couple wed in a 12th century basilica in the Italian capital on June 14th after a two-year courtship.
Elisabetta is just the latest in a list of famous beauties to date the racing tycoon.
Flavio previously dated Naomi Campbell, Adriana Volpe and Heidi Klum, with whom he fathered a daughter Leni, now four.

I thought IQ was just a measure of potential.  I don't think I have ever taken an IQ test thought people always said I had a lot of potential.  The older you get, the more insulting that seems. 

I have learned the hard way that if you don't like what you are doing, you won't likely be successful no matter how smart you are.

Ol' Flavio makes Aristotle Onassis, Fred Thompson and Clint Eastwood look like rank amateurs when it comes to dating  young women.

Sheesh. That guy is just 8 months older than I am.

So there is hope for you yet.

Amen to that.

People with much less IQ, but better organizational skills, motivation, and people skills always get farther in life. And they seem happier too. I'd gladly give up 20 IQ points for the chance to be 99th percentile in the other areas.
