This Woman Makes Men Take an IQ Test on First Dates

Candice Kloss, who is pictured above, has high standards for romance. If a man wants to date her, he needs to deliver the intellectual goods.

The Sun reports that Kloss has an IQ of 136, which puts her within the top 2% of the population. Her favorite topic is behavioral economics, but she's willing to talk about a wide variety of subjects.

Kloss works as a model, which leads some men to underestimate her intelligence. So as a screening tool, she gives a written IQ test on first dates. Candidates must score at least above average and prove through conversation to "be exceptionally smart in at least one subject."

Jeff Bezos. Elon Musk. Bill Gates. Candice Kloss. The great minds of our generation. She's got that classic, Molecular Biology, Come-hither stare.

I've found that people who disclose, or even care about, their IQ scores are not as smart as they think they are. Nothing good will come of it. You can tell how intellectual someone is just by talking to them, if that's what makes you happy.

If I ever produced a video this funny, you can guarantee that I would promote my own website on it.

But even though my own children mispronounced words in the same funny way, I wouldn't put them on the internet doing it. They grow up too fast.

This is from an established mommyblogger with a good-sized following. I entertained the idea that this story is probably embellished and/or exaggerated, but probably has a grain of truth. And even if it is totally fake, I wouldn't care much, because it's still funny.

Anyway, she posted a followup in which she invites parents to share the odd names their kids give to toys, and has over 100 comments.

Counter example:

Equally "offensive" but a lot harder to argue that it's fake. And not a hint of an agenda.
The "video" from this post is just pictures with a funny caption and then saying they were made up by a child. And promoting a website.

- It is promotion for a website (as was the first comment here curiously).

- "Designed" to cause a stir, go viral (or hope to), get attention.

- Video is trivially easy to make (but offers no proof whatsoever that it is real).

- Kids don't do that kind of thing, not to that extent.

- Unverifiable.

The whole thing just rubs me the wrong way, what can I say.
(But you're right that I just think this is fake, I am not 100% certain.)
