"Intelligent men may be more likely to remain faithful to their partners, due to their problem-solving and pattern-spotting abilities, a new study suggests. While not exactly the most romantic of sentiments, analysis has shown that the steadiest boyfriends are more likely to be able to unpick patterns in sequences of numbers and letters. The findings come from a new study conducted by Oakland University, which analysed 202 heterosexual men who had each been in a relationship for at least six months."
"Researchers found that men who had a particular strain of intelligence and scored higher on specific tests often led a healthier romantic life and expressed greater commitment to their partners. They were also found to be less likely to display jealousy, insult their partners and resort to mate-retention tactics, controlling behaviours that make it costly for a lover to leave the relationship."
A study at Oakland University analyzed 202 heterosexual men who had each been in a relationship for at least six months. Men who scored higher on tests measuring problem-solving and pattern-spotting—such as identifying patterns in sequences of numbers and letters—tended to lead healthier romantic lives and to express greater commitment to their partners. Higher scores correlated with fewer displays of jealousy, fewer insults, and reduced use of mate-retention tactics, which are controlling behaviors that increase the cost of leaving a relationship. These men were also less tempted by risk-taking behaviors.
