Mensa Starts Dating Site Because Asking for IQ Scores on First Dates Wasn't Really Working

So, you're a member of Mensa and because you're a member of Mensa you probably have trouble finding people on your level to talk to. That makes dating hard. Talking to another person, of course, is an important part of the courtship process.

Finding mates with IQ scores in the 98th percentile is so hard these days. But, for Mensa members—with their memorized IQ scores—the dating pool just got a lot more selective. The egghead organization announced it's teaming up with Match.com to create Mensa Match. "American Mensa isn't just about encouraging adults to think," the promotional copy on the new venture reads, it's also apparently about encouraging them to make out.

"You're looking for someone in the same tribe as you," American Mensa Marketing Manager Victoria Liguez told ABC News. "You're asking, 'Do you value intelligence as much as I do?'" And do you have the test scores to prove it? Under the new tie-up Mensa members "are also invited to add branded badges to their 'normal' Match.com profiles to indicate their interest in superior intellects," according to ABC News. That should go over well.

Heh. My ex-husband met his new wife at Mensa meetings. I'm not sure he would now call marrying her a smart move.

I wish there were some legit IQ tests online, I've always wondered what mine was. 

[Ideologue]

I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member.

I'd guess around 145-150. That seems to be the average for people on the internet.

[Ideologue]

Spitballing, I'd say mine's around 95.

Good. Keep the big heads (non complimentary meaning) to themselves.

Why would you want a spouse who was as smart as you?

Yeah the internet is amazing, seems to have raised IQ's by around 40-50 points across the board.

I wouldn't be caught dead with Mensa membership.

[Malthus]

I'm still waiting for a dating site which categorizes me based on my LSAT score.

Women are my break from smartypants topics.
