In that case, I would ask him for a cite to this being done. I think
he's sometime deluded, you see....

Because he made it up out of the whole cloth? I note he doesn't give
a cite for this claim.

He doesn't. That's why he asks it. Or is he really convinced that
scoring well on an IQ test will get one laid and that scoring poorly
keeps one from getting laid?

Hell, if that were true I'd be dead of exhaustion by now and he'd be a
virgin until the day he dies. Unfortunately for me, it just doesn't
seem to work out like he claims above.

As well all know, IQ size doesn't matter....
