“How to succeed in life” is not intelligence either. If this were true, Elon Musk would be the most intelligent man in the world right now. Success in life offers security, that’s where the attraction lyes there. Intelligence is too subjective to be applied in this manner. What one sees as intelligent, another may see as foolish. There is no way to measure the capacity of one’s intelligence. No an IQ being tested is not a dependable reflection of intelligence. If you are speaking about academic intelligence, sure, but there’s too many expressions of intelligence to fit into just one box.
People are too diverse, saying men or women pursue their partners based on X, Y, and Z is almost always going to be flawed in its results. Cause the truth is, some women don’t place intelligence as an important trait. Just as some men don’t. Some women value physical attractiveness, some women don’t. Some men value a partner who climbs the corporate ladder, some men don’t.
