>>11706447You're missing the point. How do you prove to a potential mate that you are intelligent? Preferably without going out of your way, for example such as saying "I solved a problem you never knew existed." Write out math in front of people? Nice clothes, a nice car, and good grooming are proofs of both success and social intelligence, which again, is part of overall intelligence, which is what actually matters. Why exactly, do you think, are those intelligent, gifted people pleasant to be around in the first place?
It's "nice" to surround oneself with people of lower standing or attractiveness. We're not talking about that. Talking about marriage or sex, the one thing everyone can agree is attractive, all other factors the same, is someone of higher social standing.
