consider the idea that the bell curve for women is slightly narrower than for men. I believe this is true, at least for IQ, and probably for a number of other attributes. In a world of assortative mating, one implication of the difference in the width of the bell curves is that couples at the bottom will tend to have the woman be slightly smarter than the man, and couples at the top will tend to be the opposite.
