It’s a Good News/Bad News Thing

And there’s this interpretation:

Teen boys who want sex out of teen girls have to spend a lot of time in sports, fights, clubs, signalling their attractiveness. Teen girls who want sex just have to say “yes,” and the sex itself takes little time, especially given that teenage boys are the partners.

I am of course maintaining a dignified silence on the subject.

No such thing as a girl who can’t get laid.

Oik, that comment is the epitome of the “humble brag.” I salute you! [Insert one of those smiley internet things here.]

>No such thing as a girl who can’t get laid.< you have a low opinion of males;)

“…only 56% of Princeton undergraduates have had intercourse”
Even fewer of them with another person. Ba-dum.
Anyway, correlation is not causation. Maybe sex makes you stupid. Or inclined to studio art, which might be one of those distinctions without a difference (cf. Franklin Einspruch’s injunction to artists in the previous post).
As for the folks with an IQ below 70, either they haven’t figured the technique out yet, or they’re taking Margaret Sanger to heart.

All the hot teenage girls were dating twenty year olds with cars.
One of the official babes of my sixth form earned umpteen cool points on account of her once being collected from school by an older boyfriend with a motorbike. At the time it seemed terribly mysterious and impressive.

Back in the day the secret to getting laid as an adolescent male was to be based near a teaching hospital.
Student Nurses! Yay!
Incidentally, what age range was adolescent defined as for the purposes of the study?* There are a lot of people around who will attest that, despite my being well into my seventh decade, I am still behaving like an adolescent. (Of high IQ.)
*What? Read the report? After our host has done such an excellent job of distilling the essence for us?

You’d expect a subject based on mathematics i.e computer science to score “higher”…
Must be teaching CSS more than predicate calculus, and more thinking more about worth than Wirth.

Maybe explains why I didn’t get sex in uni ’til I married a fat Welsh school teacher – health warning – do not do this.

you have a low opinion of males;)
Pretty sure you can always find someone desperate enough for a one-night stand with anything obviously lacking a Y chromosome. Might take awhile but the Bell Curve says that kind of desperation exists at the very low end of the desperation scale.

It’s a BAD news thing; in the long run, demographics is all. Declining average IQ over time…

I and two other acne-riddled peers decided to form a band for this very reason when we were about 14.
I did once take a Roland TR-606 drum machine to school and put it through the PA in the assembly hall. A handful of boys got quite excited and someone started breakdancing. I don’t remember any girls being impressed.

I wasn’t actually trying to woo schoolgirls at the time, you understand, but I will venture that a cheap and tinny drum machine probably isn’t your best bet. It even came with a silver vinyl satchel, a sort of electro man-bag.
Chase me, ladies. Chase me.

I and two other acne-riddled peers decided to form a band for this very reason when we were about 14. We battered out barely recognisable Ramones covers in a school music room for a good few months before we were forced to pedal back from the initial aim of hordes of groupies to the more conservative aim of at least one girl not laughing at us.
Not really the smartest choice of band.
“Of their early output, Johnny Ramone commented: “I basically tried to play normal stuff. We didn’t sing about surfing or cars or girls because we didn’t surf, didn’t have cars and didn’t have girlfriends. So we wrote about sniffing glue and the boredom of suburbia.””
