I have an idea for a company:

A dating website that makes you take an IQ test.

[Anonymous No.15600102]

not going to be profitable unless you sell that data, and people won't provide data unless they know you won't sell. besides IQ tests through a screen are a joke.

So you plan on convincing smart people on wasting money. There is a reason why Tindr and similar focus on the looks.

[Anonymous No.15600146]

The reason why tinder is successful is because its simple and easy. If they have to take an iq test to just join why even bother.

I would think a better idea would be a dating site that is like a job interview in which you submit a resume to the "employer" and they call you in for a "interview"

I don't understand what you are implying. Why would it be racist? Everyone has an equal opportunity to pass the IQ test.

[Anonymous No.15601408]

Anyone with a decent IQ knows online dating is shit

You get better results literally walking up to women in public and asking them out cold

[Anonymous No.15601443]

>>15601393
Your model would be better if it used IQ to rank order people and give them sorted matches instead of as a barrier to entry which will impact user numbers.

Also your implicit assumption that smart people want other smart people is unfounded. You could find just as much market utility trying to sell a tool that lets you choose what level of intelligence you're interested in.

Refine your concept and come back. You'll get torn apart trying to sell this to anyone.

Nope. Would unironically make more sense to have a dating website that costs men $10k to join, but hotties get in for free.

/thread. Good post. I'm introverted, but it doesnt necessarily mean I want to date only introverts. Better idea OP would be to make some sort of test like meyer briggs with a few curveballs scattered about that ask Wonderlic-like questions. But I dont want to think any harder on how you could use that and for what purpose unless you were a freaking data miner company

educated women want educated men, its a boundary line thats a bigger go/no-go than money. there are quite a few articles written about the shortage of educated men because of how skewed colleges are now.

It's used as a proxy for intelligence, child. The fact that modern universities don't actually select for the absolute most intelligent people is beside the point.

[Anonymous No.15601845]

Absolutely not. I'm an accounting major (CPA now) and I saw quite a lot of idiots in college. In fact, they might be dumber than average people who dont accrue $80k in debt to become a sociology phD

Fucking retard. Have you even been to college recently you dumb fucking boomer? Educated means thinking Marx's response to capitalism and the dumbest postmodern concept ever created (intersectionalism) have merit. Walk on home boy

Das Kapital is a better instruction manual than it is a critique, so yes, Marx does have merit.

Is Das Kapital the book where he thinks socialism is the solution to what at the historical time was wagies getting rekt by companies buying militias to shoot protesters? Did you say it was better at being an instruction manual, or did you just write unclearly there? If my first question is true though, dumb. Marx was qn illuminati puppet and probably evil

[Anonymous No.15602069]

would be cool but you'd be cutting out the majority of the market. anyone who gets their feefees hurt by realizing they're stupid aren't going to use it.

"Educated" is proxy word for earning more money and having a higher status job.

Women are hypergamic, they don't seek equals they seek men who are superior, on a higher branch of the tree, they would rather grow old and childless than selling down which is why feminism is the deathrow for a society.

[Anonymous No.15602109]

>>15602065
Das Kapital is pretty much exclusively Marx ripping on capitalism. It wasn't a prescriptive book.

and yes, its better as an instruction manual because it highlights the features of capitalism that he thought were problematic glitches. he then goes on to describe how to exploit those features to generate wealth. ahead of its time, really.

That's nice, now that you've established demand how does the supply side of the equation look like?

This shouldn't need to be spoonfed. Identifying demand doesn't indicate existing supply. Just because women want educated men doesn't mean educated men put any bearing on how educated a women is. Women just assume this is how men think because they themselves are hypergamously wired.

Also a woman's preference for an educated mate is inversely related to her mathematical ability - so have fun squaring that circle.

Ah, well if thats how the book was structured then, fine (notwithstanding he wasnt "ahead of his time", just an illuminati puppet). Still doesnt change the fact that "educated' women seek out "educated" men is some sort of legit study, or that the impossibly hard filter of graduating in psychology means that someone is more likely to have a higher IQ than a dropout that knows the sunk cost fallacy. Some college educated women just want dope men that are powerful, cool, and supreme gentlemen, your guardian article and """studies""" notwithstanding.

[Anonymous No.15602203]

>>15602165
>how does the supply side of the equation look like

pretty short because many colleges are approaching 60/40 splits in the female to male population.

[Anonymous No.15602242]

>>15602203
exactly, so there's more educated women with a preference for educated men,

at the same time there are less educated men to pick from, and those that are educated do not weigh intelligence as a significant mating factor.

[Anonymous No.15602249]

>>15602178
i think you take secondary education for granted and highly underestimate how dumb the average person is. graduating from a legit 4 year institution (no trade schools or fly-by-night colleges) puts you in the top %30 of the country. while you find it a trivial thing, most don't.

[Anonymous No.15602259]

>>15602242
i didn't think how men weighed intelligence in a mate was important to the conversation. its understood that men have different priorities.
