As a child, I always tended toward intellectual pursuits. I loved learning, and so loved school. I was not very good at homework and tasks, but did very well when taking tests. When in Jr. High, I had a friend with whom I would philosophize and debate. He was particularly muscular and well built, but my feelings for him were purely platonic. I only tended to get romantic feelings for guys I didn't know well.
Anyway, this friend told me once that he had read that the smarter someone was, the more likely they were to be homosexual. I knew that we both considered ourselves quite intelligent, and was wondering if he was trying to come on to me. I didn't really give a response to him and he never brought it up again. I never thought of him as more than a friend, but have always been curious as to his meaning. It's possible that he figured out my orientation, and was letting me know that it was okay. But I never figured it out.
Since that time, I have never heard such a statistic relating intelligence and orientation. Has anyone else heard such a thing?
