Let's put it this way, my intelligence certainly never hurt me with women. It attracts a different type of woman rather than those who were simply attracted to me because of looks or the fact that I was a pro fighter. I have no doubt that it was my being of a certain level of intellect that attracted my wife to me more so than anything else. That, & my sense of humor.
She's got an IQ in the 140s herself, so it was important to her to find someone that she could relate to on an intellectual, emotional & physical level. And fortunately, for me, the fact that I'm a couple of decades older than she is wasn't/isn't an issue for her.
