Why smarties have less sex

Basically, higher IQ is correlated with less sex for men unless the guy uses his intelligence to make a lot of $. But, in that case, money becomes the attractor, not the intelligence itself.
I have said many times before that Game is some combination of looks, money, status, and persona (social skills).
You're correct that money is the attractor and not intelligence. Look at some high IQ STEM guys, especially Engineers and Programmers. These guys are not getting laid much even with their money because in a lot of cases, their social skills still stink despite making $150,000-$200,000/year. Due to social skill deficiencies, a nerdy STEM guy might need to make close to $500,000/year to have enough money to use money as the attractor to compensate for the social skills.
A mid to upper level business manager making in the $150,000-$250,000/year range can use money as an attractor because his social skills are more likely to be at least adequate.
Bill Gates had to use high income and Microsoft CEO status to get a date with a mediocre at best looking careerist female with an MBA from a prestigious private university.
The 6'0"+, tanned, muscular guy at the Cancun/Daytona Beach Spring Break foam party gets more pusssy than most $125,000+/year white collar business managers.
