I, like a great many /. faithful, was an awkward, geeky child. I do not know if this was due to all the D & D and late night BBS sessions, but that certainly did not help. I can tell you that my friends who were attractive enough to draw hot girls at the 11-13 year range had a tendency to stop showing up at our Friday night pizzafests and Boy Scout weekends because they had what we can loosely term a life. Others clued in through time for various reasons - I was a decent guitar player and when people started to figure that out (~16 years old) I started to get invited to parties that actually had girls at them. Suddenly, I wasn't coding C64's and perfecting my Eddie Van Halen solos with my free time - I had discovered girls and what they were for. As awesome as this was, it wasn't contributing to my IQ near as much as my previous activities and it (they) took a lot of my time. So smart kids have less sex? This should read "Kids who can get sex automatically dumb down because it's pretty much all they think about".
