Many nerds may have reluctantly conformed their signalling to something more appropriate.

From my OKC profile (written prior to seeing this comment, and actually the starting point for the quoted conversation with Katja):

I'm working with the Singularity Institute for AI, a non-profit dedicated to promoting clear and critical thinking about the far future and humanity's place in it.

You want your next girl to be more intelligent than you? Interesting. I'm curious as to where this preference comes from.

more intelligent is mostly playful challenging. I want my next gf to be at least roughly on my level intellectually for essentially the same reason that a skilled dancer might prefer to date someone else who can dance well: it's one more way for us to have fun together =)
