Honestly, I can think of maybe one or two whose IQs were average by your definition. Maybe it's just the circles I run in.

But he was right, many people with 140+ or super high IQ really are socially awkward.

If you have an above average IQ, I'd also think you are more than capable of realizing IQ averages by career is a pretty bad way of looking at it.

Approaching, or not , has nothing to do with anything. This could be a husband and wife couple, or two strangers in a bar. This could be a fifth date or a fifth anniversary date.

As far as knowing what it looked like, people will become wiser about it, especially if men are using the scripts suggested to them.
Does 84 mean you were born in 1984, or are 84 years old ?

It all just sounds like rationalization for stupid behavior on the guy's part. He was acting weird or artificial with his "seduction" tricks and she got defensive, so he tells himself that he didn't pass her test like it's all her fault.
Believe it or not, it does occur.

How does PUA apply to married couples.

Successful marriage is not based on weird game playing. Are you married?

Neither to your second question.

Now, I in no way subscribe to this way of thinking. It's shallow and narrow and at least partially meant to be humorous. BUT I do think it has some value. Because people who think this way exist and because its interesting to get a glimpse of the world through their eyes. Or maybe just for a laugh and insight into how to avoid these folks.

Anyway. Here are the quizzes, Cosmo honor code style,

Men: Dating Market Value Test For Men « Chateau Heartiste

Women: Dating Market Value Test For Women « Chateau Heartiste

So folks, how do you measure up in this world?
For some reason, the site reminds me of acne infomercials where the person hardly has any acne, and they attempt to sell their product by making it seem like it's the end of the world if someone has a zit, and you must buy their product to make your life better.

Psychology 101- put a person down, make them feel worthless so they can buy your product.

I guess people try to market their business in some way, even if it's absurd/stupid/unethical just like crooked business people who know how to target most at people's weaknesses, but their products aren't even legit and probably doesn't work any better.

Marketing scheme. No one's perfect, and if people were 100% polished, I find them boring.

you generally do the same things to keep a woman as you would to attract a woman initially.

I'm confused. How in the world do you know if your chin is "big, your jaw is "long" your lips are "plump" or your eyes are big or small? According to what? What a weird test lol.

Play weird games?

I've looked at a few of the PUA sites. There might be a few kernels of helpful information here and there. Much of it is really nonsense, especially the sort of stuff that paints women with a narrow brush.
