Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My best guess is , they're more likely to try to learn how to please their partner . In reviewing information I've read about our presidents having above average IQ's , several of them had affairs . JFK , Roosevelt , Clinton , & Jefferson , just off the top of my head .

If they also have consciences, I agree. However, I don’t do men.
A woman of normal IQ could probably deceive me.
If that is true it is probably not directly related in high IQ. Most men with high IQs have careers in professional disciplines that require a lot of ...well, discipline.

I don't buy it. I've seen studies that suggest that high functioning, high IQ people (men & women) also have high libidos and are known to have difficulties with monogamy. I know it applies to me.

High libido has nothing to do with fidelity. I would suspect it would have more to do with low capacity for self control. Just guessing, of course.
@evidentialist No but they did find a slight correlation between intellect and libido.
@Wrytyr -- Cite the source, please. "They" bears little meaning.
@evidentialist All I have is this crap cell phone which is not conducive to extensive internet research. I read the article years ago so you can believe me or not. I don't care.
@Wrytyr -- It's not a matter of believing you. It is more a matter or determining the validity of the source. You read what you read. I merely want to know what you read so that I can read it for myself to understand how it was quantified, what parameters, restrictions, circumstances, and methods were employed in the research/study.
I don't see where any studies have been made relating to marital fidelity based on IQ, but maybe I've missed something. All I can say about it is that I have never cheated on my wife. So, there we have a sample of one -- which means zip.
