Why do you think intelligent people have the least sex?
There have been a lot of studies that demonstrate that intelligent people have less sexual partners, less friends and are more likely to die alone. The explanation often provided is that intelligent people engage in less high risk sexual behavior such as promiscuity, random hook-ups, partying etc. but I don't know if that's true, as intelligent people actually engage in more high risk behavior if it provides a novel experience. For example, the average heroin-addict has a much higher IQ than the average person.
I've heard a lot of theories: they over-think things, they are too full of themselves, they're no fun, etc. Someone even suggested highly intelligent people don't feel emotions as strongly and aren't as capable of showing love, which is an interesting take.
Why do you think intelligent people have a much more difficult time finding love than average people.

People are clamoring for sources: Here it is, unfortunately though it looks like you have to have a log in to read the full article. I'm going to go about seeing how to get one: ehbonline. org/article/S1090-5138(05)00061-9/fulltext

Also, if you say that the reason is "intelligent people have poor social skills", can you provide me with some information that supports that belief? Because that doesn't follow quite as naturally as a lot of people here are implying.
