Deceitful and despicable is one description that wronged wives could apply to their cheating husbands. Plain stupid is another. For scientists have concluded that men who sleep around are likely to have lower IQs. It is a finding likely to prove of interest to Cheryl Cole as she contemplates her errant partner Ashley's unfaithful ways.
Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist from the London School of Economics and Political Science, said the smarter a man is, the less likely he is to cheat on his partner. His theory is based on the assertion that through evolutionary history, men have always been 'mildly polygamous'. That has changed today, however, and Dr Kanazawa explained that entering a sexually exclusive relationship is an 'evolutionarily novel' development for them.
According to his theory, intelligent people are more likely to adopt what in evolutionary terms are new practices - to become 'more evolved'. Therefore, in the case of fidelity, men who cannot adapt and end up succumbing to temptation and cheating are likely to be more stupid. 'The theory predicts that more intelligent men are more likely to value sexual exclusivity than less intelligent men,' he explained.
According to his theory, the link between fidelity and intelligence does not apply to women because they have always been expected to be faithful to one mate - even in polygamous societies.

well good for the info. but according to the lito research i have done you will find most of profesors and the so called doctors cheat their wifes,they are the ones who have small houses and not one may be two and more, and they even build houses for these small houses and honga even cars. does it mean they are stupid?or have low iq?we do consider professors as people who are smatter.so what is ur comment ndugu?we can as well criticise him and come up with our own reasons that it is not necesarily people who are not smart to cheat but cheating envolves alot of issues.

patrick kusiga here.
Mr Kusiga, it doesnt mean that professors have higher IQ than the rest of us. IQ ( Intelligence Quotient) is a measure of relative intelligence determined by a standardised test. Then some standardised tests were done to these professors that gave them competitive edge on world of intelligensia than the rest of us. And these tests are not provided universally. For example, it doesnt mean that haya/tribesmen have more IQ simply and shallowilly because they fill university posts. These two tribes are more educated due to the fact that missionaries( who broght western education) preffered climatic condition of Kagera and Kilimanjaro. You will be suprised that some matumbi folks will measure with higher IQ if these tests will be applied to them as well.
ReplyDeletewhat do you think pat?
mzee wa tija i know.Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, [and] to overcome obstacles by taking thought. Although these individual differences can be substantial, they are never entirely consistent: a given person’s intellectual performance will vary on different occasions, in different domains, as judged by different criteria. Concepts of “intelligence” are attempts to clarify and organize this complex set of phenomena. Although considerable clarity has been achieved in some areas, no such conceptualization has yet answered all the important questions, and none commands universal assent. Indeed, when two dozen prominent theorists were recently asked to define intelligence, they gave two dozen, somewhat different, definitions.
ReplyDeleteback to our issue its not only people with low iq but there are a number of reasons why do people cheat.
if i may ask u why do people cheat?is it only because of low iq?AS scientistict indicated?
mdau hujacomment,what are ur views?umeulizwa swali
ReplyDeleteIt surely conflicts with the fact that King Solomon was the wisest man to ever inhabit this surface and he had many women but i think he wasnt cheating to anyone of them bcos they all wanted him even if its by sharing with others!
ReplyDeleteholela, why conflict? the issue here is cheating. King Solomon managed not to cheat. Hence his wisdom. Try 40 women and ensure you dont cheat them, then you wont be on this trap.
