Based on my experience in an unhappy marriage, I have to say that
the concern with finding somebody with a matching IQ is justified.
My ex-wife was substantially less intelligent than I am, and felt
very insecure about it.  She was certainly a good person, at least
in most respects, but the fact that I could do intellectual tasks
that she couldn't became a major source of friction.  Ever since
the divorce I have made it a point to date women with approximately
matching IQ.  In general this means finding women who excell me in
the same number of areas as I excell them, since intelligence takes
so many different forms.  This type of selection policy has worked
out quite well for me.  Interestingly, I meet the most intelligent
women in outdoor sports settings rather than at the University.
If you're looking for intelligent people I suggest the local chapter
of the Sierra Club or your local mountaineering organization.
