    Men who marry intelligent women are less likely to develop dementia later in life, according to mental health experts.

    Professor of mental health in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, Lawrence Whalley, discussed this groundbreaking discovery at the Oxford Literary Festival Thursday in a talk titled “Dementia: How Can We Protect Ourselves?”[​IMG]

    “The thing a boy is never told he needs to do if he wants to live a longer life – but what he should do – is marry an intelligent woman,” Whalley said, according to TV3. “There is no better buffer than intelligence.”

    According to the Oxford Literary Festival website, dementia affects nearly 35 million people worldwide, with 7.7 million new cases each year. But Whalley and others have determined through a series of studies that keeping the brain active with intellectual stimulation can help to ward off the symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

    That makes the marriage market nearly insignificant.

    Are the intelligent filipinas going to marry the average expat? I thought we married them because they are pretty and they married us because they ain't so smart. :laugh:
