I disagree. High IQ, makes good looks irrelevant. Look at Einstein, Hawking, Franklin, and a myriad of other historical figures that advanced our society far more than anyone who looks like Brad Pitt or Scarlett Johansson. Looks will benefit people with low and average IQ’s or slightly better, but doesn’t make much of a difference in those with exceptional IQs.
High IQ is relevant for advancing society via scientific discovery or any number of tangible contributions to human life.
Historically, high IQ has been irrelevant for men if not coupled with the ability to support a family and completely irrelevant (and frequently viewed as a negative) for women who have historically been judged on beauty and in some instances (dowries) how much money she brought into the marriage. Marriage was much more of a business deal in the past. Survival for women and gaining offspring for men.
I would guess that High IQ today is still irrelevant if it’s the ONLY asset one has to offer. A person with a High IQ only may solve the problem of cold fusion, but is unlikely to be successful at finding a mate unless they also have other desirable traits.
What things can young women give to young men who left the basement? Not much except sex. Why has liberation super charged female materialism? It is not like people starving on the streets yet female materialism is off the charts compared to older generations. To score with females a man must engage in materialistic pursuits, not for survival but to collect "credits" to impress females, to engage in materialistic pursuits men must destroy the world more and more. That is not a winning reproduction strategy speaking of our specie as a whole.
Materialism, such as?
We seem to ignore the fact that 57.1% of women work while 69.1% of men work.
That the average income of both single men and single women are about the same.
People tend to marry withing their own socioeconomic group
married men out earn unmarried men.
Why is all that ignored and you try to push some agenda that young women are unemployed, broke and dependent and are only attracted to young men loaded with money that can buy them stuff.
So besides earning an income, a young women spends twice the time caring for a mans children and twice the time on housework, cooking, etc. than men do.

Maybe because without the all women are gold diggers out to get men assumption men unable to find mates may have to accept there are qualities other than income they lack?
In other words, maybe it’s easier to blame an entire gender than admit it might be you.

The highest IQ person I have ever met, (male) well into the twilight zone level of intelligent, complete with PHD in chemistry and pharmacology is stick thin and definitely lacks more than basic human relation ability.
Interestingly the 2nd highest I knew ( a female PHD prof during college) was female, social, married and had very high human relations ability. Married to an army colonel.
Knew both many years ago. Have not met people in the same upper tiny fraction since.
Why is it that 90% of the time, women end up marrying men who make more money than them?
More women than men go into fields with lower pay.
Single men and single and married women are at the same general pay scale. Married men make more than all of them.
After marriage women are 90% more likely to go part time, quit work, or find a more flexible lower paying job because they are the ones who care for the kids, taking them to and from school/daycare, taking them to dr. appts, staying home with them when they are sick, etc.
The modern laws are such that if man gets divorced, he is doomed for the rest of his life, providing half or more of his earning forever for ex-spouse. Basically, it's a one-time shot. I wonder how anybody is still risky enough to get married here.
Actually you are terribly wrong about modern divorce laws. Maybe want to educate yourself a bit. Easy to do these days.
