Errr, yeah, Hal.
We prefer to be held in esteem for something of value, rather than considered a slab of meat.
Why in the world does that surprise you?
My IQ is 130+.
I'm not a member of MENSA or any other society because they hold no value to me.
I wouldn't advertise my IQ on a profile any more than I put my income. It's not pertinent.

I suppose it all depends on the context and your definition of intelligence. I can understand 'intelligence' being more preferable if you were among male piers that you respected but had no romantic interest in. IMO: Physical attraction is the dominant factor in the context of dating. I don't believe "Intelligence is sexy" all on its own. In fact I know it isn't because of the way people tend to ignore Internet dating profiles that don't have a photo. I agree completely with the sentiments expressed in this article:

I suppose it is open to interpretation but it seems that many people have assumed that not intelligent means dumb and not sexy means ugly.
