It may seem a little convenient coming from a group of highly educated researchers.

But scientists now say that geeks make much better romantic partners than any muscle-bound meathead.

In a new study, researchers from Oakland University claim that smart males have better relationship results and are less likely to be abusive towards their partners.

And, in good news for geeks, the researchers even claim that smarter males are less most likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction.

The scientists checked the intelligence of guys in heterosexual relationships and then surveyed them for a range of different positive or negative relationship traits.

They found that cognitive skills which support impulse control, analytical, and thinking about effects all contribute to much healthier relationships.

On the other hand, males with lower intelligence are more vulnerable to insulting their partners, sexual browbeating, managing behaviour, and erectile dysfunction.

Most worryingly, the information recommends that men with lower general intelligence are most likely to have crazed tendencies.

Higher levels of intelligence are connected with a series of positive outcomes varying from greater average earnings to increased life span.

Additionally, more recent research study has actually shown that some particular cognitive abilities like problem-solving help partners browse potential difficulties within their relationships.

However, Dr Gavin Vance and his associates at Oakland University claim that there has actually been much less research into how general intelligence affects relationship outcomes.

General intelligence, unlike your educational level or particular skills, refers to a mixed set of cognitive abilities including working memory, spatial reasoning, and quantitative reasoning.

To discover more, the researchers recruited 202 guys who had actually remained in heterosexual relationships for a minimum of 6 months.

The males were designated a series of jobs to test their problem-solving and abstract thinking capabilities.

They were then provided questionnaires to determine aspects of their relationships ranging from the frequency of negative behaviours to relationship investment and complete satisfaction.

These tests revealed that basic intelligence was significantly associated with more positive behaviours and less unfavorable behaviours in romantic relationships.

The study found that males who scored poorly on tests for basic intelligence were more likely to experience impotence and to display negative behaviour towards their partner (stock image)
