I'm a hetero male, and I'd really prefer my partner be "about the same intelligence" as myself. I wouldn't prefer a partner who I felt was significantly smarter OR significantly 'dumber' than I am. That just wouldn't be a very good fit. You forgot "the same" as one of your options. And honestly, I really do think that most people (whether straight gay, man or woman) generally want a partner of compatible (i. e. similar) intelligence.

I wouldn't want them under or highly above. Just around the same would be good. I have a high IQ while choosing to keep a low EQ so often my thoughts are in conflict with most people.
So Ideally I would want the same. A person with high EQ I often can't stand, a person with average IQ also so.
It's all about personality more than smartness but reasonably speaking a person with the same mindset as me will probably fall under same conditions of EQ and IQ. Though the wonders of life could prove me wrong.

As the other person so far said a comparable intelligence is likely best.

I would absolutely love having a significantly smarter partner myself though. It is difficult enough to find someone attractive, who yiu click socially with, in the right age group, goals, phase of life and so on without having to also account for intelligence. But if I had the choice I'd make her a little sharper than I am.

About the same. I'm fairly intelligent but I'm not sure I could handle a woman who is clearly more intelligent than I am. Such women are rare.

[MementoMori777]

If I say smarter that would be pretty sad considering I don't recall having a partner

[MementoMori777]

Nevermind, I read that wrong oof, I'd say she should match my intelligence, not like it really matters to me tho

[Arik_jade]

Partner to be chosen based on emotions and not on intelligence. But I will be happy if my partner is intelligent than me.

A dumb girl means more trouble in life. She should be smart and not selfish or insidious. The two things are different.

[CloudMassacre]

It’s interesting that everyone (at this point in time) has picked Smarter.

[Adogdog]

It don't really matter I don't guess. I would love her either way.
