Did you read the rest of that segment? Most kids who do have higher IQs are shown to lack in social skills, though it isn't because of their intelligence alone.


And while IQ tends to stay stable throughout your whole life, it can decrease sharply and not because of damage to the head or a mental disease. Having children is shown to decrease it, because most of your life is spent taking care of the child(ren), or at least a lot of the first 5 years of his/her life. You don't get a whole lot of time to renew yourself, read a large novel, or undertake a huge project, save at work. But you get my point.

P.S You got it backwards. There is no proof that high IQ means you look good. And high IQ is usually inversely proportional to social skills. Usually. Almost all intelligent kids I have seen have been labeled as geeks or nerds, and did not look really 'hot' or 'sexy', as you claim.
