Males, how important is a female’s intelligence to you?

[Harald Meller]

Actually I never fell in love with a woman unless she was a psychopath to some extent. And my intuition and instincts never deceived me. Out of thousands of women, I always with some unmistakable inner instinct, found exactly the one who was an abnormal psychopath. And this choice of mine has always been an accurate diagnosis: if I liked the woman, no matter how normal she looked and seemed at first, very soon she appeared as an obvious psychopath.

Not sure if you understand what a psychopath is.

Psychopaths tend to have above average intelligence.

But indeed psychopaths tend to attract each other.

There were many famous couples of psychopathic serial killers.

smart and astute are not the same thing btw, the kind of smart women i want are the ones that know basic things about life and are religious.

[RandomGuy20]

Around average I guess.
I find maternal instincts and street-smarts more important/attractive.

I can hardly see myself with a girl with a 2 digits IQ but outside of that I don't care.

Judging by what you wrote, I definitely better understand what a psychopath is.

Commoners and home cooks brought up on movies and books about genius psychopaths and serial killers really believe (like you do) that "psychopaths tend to have above average intelligence".

But in reality most psychopaths have below average mental abilities, and the vast majority of psychopaths are well below average mental abilities.

I don't see how female intelligence is not important. It's important even for the "misogynist" members here, regardless of what they say. Offspring's intelligence is 50% inherited from the biological mom.
To be fair only 1-2 said it's not important but I don't remember it well. I don't wanna go through the whole thread.

If I didn't date smarter females than me, I would have a very small market

I wish the question had not been biased (gender). I don't think women give high weight to intelligence when it comes to mating (especially westerners nowdays) either.

Tricky thing, women usually declare politically correct and a bold statement is something rare and more typical of confident/fiery women from the west.

Around average I guess.

+and in the opposite gender too.

Only a psychopath would say that to deceive us.

Not at all. There are psychopaths who never lie and deceive. I may be one of them.
