I am not saying that women should lower their standards or should marry or have sex with people they are not attracted to, I am not saying anyone should be forced to do anything. I am simply stating an objective fact that women generally do not select their partners based on intellectual level, nor do men by the way this is not a gendered issue.
Actually I would argue the opposite: women tend to overvalue intelligence. If a man has a sharp sense of humor and seems to be intelligent and perceptive they tend to be into that, even if that man has other (often glaring) issues.
The problem is the social and economic climate. All the really smart guys I know are either fucked up at this point, or have followed a white collar career path that will inevitably lead to sitting behind a computer ordering around a bunch of indians all day (they all do nowadays), which needless to say doesn't foster a great social life.
I'm willing to bet that if you were to do a survey of all these intelligent people, you'd find they suffer from mood disorders way more too, which means they're going to be less ambitious and more likely to isolate themselves.
Women are the least of the issue here, because their biology is exactly the same as its always been. It's the environment and the options people have for relating to each other that's inimical.
Also yes, IQ drop is probably more likely because of immigrants.
Women have slowed down their sexual selection this generation to be extra picky because of widespread porn sickness and Peter Pan syndrome among men. I think nature is healing.
If they were actually extra picky there wouldn't be so many more single mothers, with children from guys like Pat Tomlinson.
Your supposition is just as gay. Women are reproducing less because having families and children has become an absolute tribulation with a lot of cost and not a lot of physical benefit, and because app based dating is so pervasive.
When you've got no organic way to develop rapport between people and all you've got is what amounts to a dating resume, of course they're going to be picky, just like how it always works with resumes.
If we ignored apps (which is what most retard discourse fixates on), there's not much evidence that women are any more picky than they ever were.
