A lovely and talented Canadian reader dear to me (she did my About picture) sent me a link to this incredible video of a 24 year old Ukrainian woman making on-the-fly sand paintings in time with symphony music.
She started doing these paintings a year ago on the beach. One of her 20 second paintings is worth more than all the postmodern sludge of the past 30 years.
The matter is settled. Russian and Ukrainian women have been genetically selected for exquisite beauty above and beyond the call of duty.

Part of what makes it remarkable is her beauty, but not in the sense you might expect.
Making simple, beautiful things (and no, twee hipster finch-and-tree-branch collages in brown and light blue, and Youtube noise-fuck splatter paintings don’t count) is lost on most pretty young women (especially in America, I would venture) because they are so convinced that they are the center of the universe they’re incapable of simple grace or gestures of beauty. They don’t give a fuck. Of the young pretty women from certain striver social classes that DO try hard in life are generally not creating beauty; they are gaming the college grading system, snagging coveted internships, or writing snappy blogs as they troll for book deals.

I immediately said “Ok. So… it’s not my business but (smiling) WHY THE HELL DON’T YOU GET IN??”

There’s a particular eastern european chick that just gets to me. Her voice sounds like a bird’s song… her little giggle and smile when you make solid eye contact stops my heart. Here’s my problem. She’s really hard to read. We’ve been bantering for a while now and finally it just came over me and I decided that I couldn’t stand it anymore. I know I’m attractive enough, projected a fun enough personality with big-time social proof, and confidently projected enough about me to set any hypergamic gina tingle off. I swear she’s flirting back but now I’m not so sure.
Usually the smile with eye contact like that is a solid IOI, so I got her # and time&place for a date, but then she not only flaked on me…. her excuse sounded lame. So I took it as a polite “no”.
I see her a couple times a week and haven’t asked her out since. The first couple weeks after she flaked she seemed to avoid me and even seemed to make an annoyed facial expression at me once… but then she warmed up again. I swear she’s flirting hard at me again. I’m usually quite good at reading women but I’m not sure if this is a cultural thing and she’s just being friendly or what. On one hand I think she’s just not interested…. on the other hand I wonder if she was in a complicated romantic situation (she just got out of a serious LTR) a couple months ago and decided to flake then and now that situation has resolved.

“would basically ensure that my kids will never have a three-digit IQ score.”
Assortative mating dictates that one’s spouse in unlikely to be more than ~12 IQ points lower. At a certain point (20 pts. or so difference?) communication is going to be very difficult.
Another depressing fact for high IQ males —
Average IQ of women is 4 pts. lower, with a smaller SD (14.)
Hence, the average woman has an IQ of 98. A woman 1.5 SD above the mean has an IQ of 119.
That’s 93.3 percentile.
So if you have an IQ of 131, the pool of suitable spouses is reduced to roughly 6.7% of the population.
And it gets worse the higher you climb, obviously.
High IQ males often have the following options:
a) Marry someone of suitable intelligence, with less than desirable physical traits (overweight, unattractive.)
b) Marry someone attractive but incompatible intellectually. Tantamount to being lonely in your marriage.
c) Stay single, dumb down temporarily to bag babes, repeat as needed.
I wonder if Roissy’s alpha philosophy is more precisely a high IQ alpha philosophy? If my calculations are correct, finding a suitable partner becomes very difficult for very high IQ men.
In other words it’s an adaptation by high IQ males.

a. She is quite pretty
b. She has talent
c. She is essentially a storyteller (and storytellers always captivate us)

Total absense of sluttery here.
The artist conservative worldview is also shown in another story about a child who grows to be a famous artist but forgets about his old peasant parents until it is too late. VERY old fashioned.
Now when you have a beautiful girl from a small town, center stage presenting in a very beautiful way her stories inbued with the old fasioned morality of her peasant grandparents (woman love your man and your family, man fight for the fatherland, honor your parents etc) … no stardom, no big slutty smiles, no career nonsense…. well it’s quite easy to fall in love.

My IQ is 152 (adulthood deviation scale) and most of the women I’ve dated have been 125-140. I can’t speak for actual geniuses (165+) but, for me, IQ 125 is enough. It might make it hard to discuss whether lambda-calculus or the Turing machine is a better representation of computation, but we’re essentially equal when it comes to any non-technical arena of discussion. I’d much rather marry a woman at 125 with incredible musical or artistic talent, than a biglaw man-girl at 140.
What sucks for a man of 150+ IQ is not the lack of suitable women, but that it intimidates the shit out of people– it’s like being 7 feet tall– and the assumption in SWPL culture that intelligence requires social ineptitude starts you off on a terrible footing. People, if they’re not comfortable with you, are waiting for you to fuck up socially. Among American white girls, even those with 135+ IQs are more responsive to smiling, sub-120 IQ douchebags than to genuinely intelligent men.
To the extent that I use “game” at all, it’s to hide my “gifted” status. I’d never want to be a smiling douchebag, but I try to learn what I can from that type of man.

Ok, you raise an important point. How does the girl know about my “7 foot tall” IQ? She doesn’t. She doesn’t know if it’s 140 or 150 or 180. She knows it’s a fair reach higher than hers, and a lot of women find this very intimidating. If you are “too smart”, from a girl’s perspective, you become a “brain in a jar”, not a sexual creature.
Most women I’m going to be dating are in the 125-140 IQ range– not dumb by any stretch of the imagination. On the contrary, they’re pretty well used to being the smarter person in every relationship they’ve had. That’s strike one against a guy like me, right off the bat.
Women’s notorious “hypergamy”, for the record, applies to social status but not intelligence. If anything, when choosing among men of equal social status, women prefer to be slightly hypogamous when it comes to raw intelligence, because of the (slight) negative correlation between IQ and “masculinity” in men. This is why unabashed slutbags gravitate toward real estate money– money without brains.

“You appear to be assuming an inverse correlation between intelligence and attractiveness/fitness.”
For attractiveness, this is ridiculous, unless you consider anyone under a 9 “unattractive”.
Obviously, there are no studies on women whom we classify here as (let’s say 7.5/8 and above) and have an IQ 2 SD above the mean. But basic probability and experience dictates their numbers are not huge.
“As for “overweight” … um, what strange planet are you from, where all the smart chicks are fat?”
All the smart chicks aren’t fat. I don’t think all the smart chicks are necessarily much more skinny than chicks of average IQ.
I speak from the planet of personal experience. Go to any DC bar where these smart chicks supposedly hang out, and I will be vindicated. Beautiful AND fit and smart is just rare.
And if you say, oh, not all of them go to bars, well, in my experience those are pretty rare for house parties as well.
I’m not saying they DON’T EXIST, my point is, their numbers ARE relatively small to be problematic. And we haven’t even begun to discuss personality.

“Among American white girls, even those with 135+ IQs are more responsive to smiling, sub-120 IQ douchebags than to genuinely intelligent men.”
Yeah, no shit. They’ll go gina tingly over their “Tom Cruise smile”, fuck the shit out of them for a month, then start complaining they’re dumb. Which brings us to game:
“To the extent that I use “game” at all, it’s to hide my “gifted” status. I’d never want to be a smiling douchebag, but I try to learn what I can from that type of man.”
Exactly. And that brings us to #3 on my list of options. In marriage, that kind of hiding has to be virtually permanent, as people have to be comfortable being themselves.

Yes, lets look at Langan’s case. Despite his stratospheric raw intelligence, the man has never done anything particularly worthwhile with it. He’s just one guy in a long line of idiosyncratic thinkers with theories of life, universe and everything.
It doesn’t take a super high IQ to think abstract philosophical thoughts. And philosophy is a relatively fruitless endeavor. It’s basically handwaving easily turning into dogmae without constant input from science and experience in general.
Where ultra-high raw intelligence really makes a difference is the handling of complexity. Langan’s abilities would probably have maximum impact in the field of mathematics.

@justin – I think it’s “tyomnaya noch'”, a well-known and sentimental song popular in the Soviet Union during WWII. Sort of the “Lily Marlene” of the USSR, something the soldiers would sing or listen to to remind themselves of their homes and girlfriends.
having lived in that part of the world, this kind of art (the skill of this particular performer and the unusual medium of sand notwithstanding) is the fairly standard kind of kitsch you see on every street corner. the Soviet-style sentimentality and nostalgia fairly typical these days as well.

That’s a completely different topic than what we’ve been discussing. Obviously super high IQ doesn’t guarantee fame, fortune or professional recognition. The point I was making is that, yeah, for high IQ males there’s likely a price to pay when it comes to marriage.
How many well-known pick-up gurus are dunces? That’s a pretty high-IQ kind of business. Mystery has pioneered a whole glossary of PU terms. Ross Jeffries is no dummy, and neither is Gunwitch (despite the redneck trappings.)

IQ is correlated with your ability to solve culture specific puzzles- cleverness.
Intelligence is the ability to see beyond the puzzles, and I have mentioned that fact more than a few times in my replies.
So called high IQ persons are often stupid, dogmatic and short-sighted. There is a reason that experts fail to predict the course of events.. they think they know.

This doesn’t make any sense. I had never seen a typical visuospatial IQ subtest before I took one recently. Exactly how did my “culture” prepare me to take one? Either it’s “cleverness” or it’s “culture” — pick one.
“Intelligence is the ability to see beyond the puzzles, and I have mentioned that fact more than a few times in my replies.”
That’s very nice, but by all known measures great “intelligence” (and by the way, great talent in almost any field) require a threshold IQ considerably above average.
“So called high IQ persons are often stupid, dogmatic and short-sighted. There is a reason that experts fail to predict the course of events.. they think they know.”
“Predicting the course of events” in a stochastic process is quite difficult. And even high IQ people have psychological blindspots. Experts are paid to confidently pretend they know what’s going to happen, which is hardly a given in complex system.

“g” correlates with nature but it does not account for nurture. “g” measures skill sub-units .. pattern recognition, classification and grouping and some amount of organizational skill … The highly skilled practitioners in any human endeavor are a combination of nature and nurture …. I am unsure if there is a more domain general way to capture the notion of “intelligence”. .. a way to assess one’s meta cognitive ability in conjunction with raw skills.
As far as mate selection and “g” .. a high mating success should imply higher “g” ..by way of higher social success .. and so studies looking for correlation will find it .. however i believe this is a correlation and not a causation. Thus “g” can at best be only a weak predictor.

When you live in the desert, each raindrop is a miracle.
Americans tend to ignore the role social skill/dominance plays in their perception of female beauty because they live in a culture of rude women. Russians tend not to downplay this, because it’s normal for women to be polite and feminine.
I don’t think the fawning is pathetic. It’s a good sign that some guys in the States still have the ability to categorize women, even if they’re not conscious of how.
This is the kind of post I like to see. I hope to see more. Guys need to know what a real woman who takes care of herself and is using her head for more than a hat rack, looks like. She might not be a 10, but you could look into those eyes for the rest of her life and not give a damn.

In Langan’s case it is his own fault to a degree anybody can be blamed of being an underachiever. Langan is working on stuff like mathematical proof of the existence of God and works with some foundation for intelligent design, for chrissake! Useless religio-philosophical bollocks, at best harmless scholastic nitpicking and at worst stiffling unscientific dogmatism if allowed to influence public education curricula. If the likes of Langan took up trying to prove hard-to-prove mathematical theorems or developing new mathematical theories, one could say their high IQs would’ve been put to good use.

I’m married to a woman whose overall level of intelligence is reasonably close to mine (I don’t know which one of us has more raw ability) but whose interests are very different from mine. That’s no problem. Wives are for sex, love, and family formation.

Why can’t both explanations can have merit? That Slavs were already somewhat prettier than average and the decimation of over 25% of their male population increased average prettiness even more?

the Czech republic didn’t suffer much losses, wasn’t particularly oppressed during the war so, by the Hitler/Stalin theory of female beauty, Czechs must be noticeably uglier than Russians. to ask this is to answer it.
also, England lost a huge part of its young male population in WW1 and yet no one in the XXth century commented about the beauty of english women, even when they were thin. Germany bled as much as Russia in both wars, lost as much men (in %) as Russia, is much richer yet the general consensus, including Germany and Russia, is that Russiangirls are more beautiful.

What world do you live in, where IQ is not directly correlated with objective attractiveness? I see the point at the very high end of either scale (i.e. on average, super-hotties are not super-geniuses, and vice-versa), but, in general the two are directly correlated.
In fact, even if it wasn’t devastatingly obvious, I’d still hypothesize as such, simply because both intelligence and physical attractiveness are indicators of fitness.

Normal. My point is that it is not necessarily such a big problem as some people make it out to be that you and your woman have different hobbies and interests. It can be, of course, if one is much into traveling and the other is a homebody. But consider how normal it was considered only a few decades ago that men and women have separate social spheres where members of each sex engage in their favorite activities.
Most of the everyday stuff involved in running a home or being in a relationship is not nuclear physics. I just don’t see how even a large IQ differential can be harmful if the overall maturity levels and values and life goals of the partners are similar enough.

I told why the WW2 theory of Russian beauty is false and idiotic; now I will tell you why it is nerdy, therefore idiotic. Because even if a nerdy idea is true, being nerdy turns it into instantaneous social shaming (i.e. HBD)
Nerds over-analyze stuff, wonder about causality where it is unnecessary, they lack awareness about wider implications of what they say and once they deem something “cool” (and coolness for a nerd is not necessarily, say, cool…) they turn it into an idée fix and forget any other contrary evidence
So Russia and EE have beautiful women. I say Italy/Spain/France beat them and Italian/Spanish/Portuguese descended people in Latin America constitute the most beautiful people on Earth*. I don´t care if Russians/Slavs got beautiful because they ate horse shit until the XXth century, it suffices that they are beautiful now. Wondering about why your erection came is a mark of nerdish indecision and propensity to overanalyze. Also, WW2 includes the holocaust, Operation Keelhaul, the rape of Nanking, Nuclear bombs, the incineration of some of the finest cities on Earth.
Only some nerdish weirdo could come up with WW2 in a talk with women. Lack of awareness about wider implications of what you say and bringing up nerdish topics when coolness is necessary is nerdism by definition. Nerdism, and modern Universities are a case study of that, think it is cool to say that WW2 caused Slavic beauty yet forget that the second world war, as the name itself says, wasn´t exactly the first war fought between human beings, so they need to explain why wars fought between ugly peoples do not improve the beauty of the next generations
