I think it is well-known, which of course makes it true<g>, that women want to marry "up", men who are taller, stronger, smarter, etc.. I am not good at statistics, but wouldn't that mean that there would be a selection bias towards the more intelligent side of the bell curve? One statistic I have seen is that intelligent people tend to have more stable marriages, the divorce rate is much lower the higher the IQ. But I think what the gentlemen were talking about is the fact that during one's youth, the sexiest babes go for the gorillas, aka athletes. Now, whether the gentlemen would want to marry same sexiest babes is another question entirely. I would suggest that these babes are also athletic themselves, which is why they appear so sexually attractive, just as the athletic men are sexually attractive. Athletes, and athletic or active people, just have nicer bodies, better muscle tone, lower percentage of body fat, nicer skin color from better circulation. And intellectuals have a tendency to be sedentary. In my experience, intellectuals love to screw, and are very good at it. I can't say the same thing for jocks, but my sample is smaller.
