Actually, I think that intelligence of a certain type is a factor in choice of a mate, in kind of a roundabout way: through sense of humor. Having a sense of humor and being to entertain does attract sexual partners. And having a sense of humor, I think, depends on being able to make very clever connections between unrelated things. This hypothesis needs to be tested. I think there is a correlation between intelligence and sense of humor, but I don't know how strong it is.
