Sounds to me as though perhaps the best strategy would be looking for
women who are not insecure about their intelligence, rather than
women of exactly the same intelligence level, altho intelligent women
are probably disproportionately represented in this category.

Also, it sounds as tho you're "policy" is actually finding women who
are well rounded (in their pursuits also :-), who one would expect to
be more interesting.
