Study Finds Women Find Smart Men More Appealing
ITWire reports that a scientific study has found that women find smart and creative men more appealing.
Its authors—Mark D. Prokosch, Richard G. Coss, Joanna E. Scheib, and Shelley A. Blozis, from the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis-state in the abstract to their paper that, "Selecting a more intelligent mate often provides women with better access to resources and parental investment for offspring."
However, humans may have also evolved so that women look for intelligence in men in order to produce children that are physically superior-and, thus, use intelligence as a way to unconsciously determine the overall quality of her mate.
The California researchers studied the role of male intelligence with respect to the short-term and long-term preferences of women.
The study even found that for both short-flings and for marriage women prefered smart and creative guys. New Scientist says it is time for nerds to rejoice. The past couple decades have been good for geeks when it comes to wages so this could have something to do with women wanting smart, creative men. Or, they may have just had some smart women who took part in the study because seriously who doesn't want a smart and creative date?

Less Sex. More Internet
Reuters reports that a new study has found that some people are giving up a social life and some of their sex life to spend time on the Internet. 20% of those surveyed said they "spend less time having sex because they are online."
More than a quarter of respondents -- or 28 percent -- admitted spending less time socializing face-to-face with peers because of the amount of time they spend online.
It also found that 20 percent said they spend less time having sex because they are online.
Cell phones won out over television in a question asking which device people couldn't go without but the Internet trumped all, regarded as the most necessary.
"It is taking away from offline activities, among them having sex, socializing face-to-face, watching TV and reading newspapers and magazines. It cuts into that share," said Mack.
"I don't suppose their partners are too pleased about it."
Mack said a clear trend to emerge from the survey was the increasing need for mobility with people no longer satisfied with just broadband access from home and wanting hand-held devices like iPhones and BlackBerrys.
There are women and men out there who are upset with a spouse for spending too much time on the Internet. There are also bound to be situations where lifestyles are changing and people are chosing this new information lifestyle over the older one.
