Which evolutionary theory maintains that women naturally seek intelligence? And I don't know what Tinder results they were looking at, but for every "must keep up with me intellectually" I saw, there were about 50 "must be 6'4" (i like to wear heels)" comments.

Women (and men for that matter) seek intelligence/personality for relationships, but you don't go on Tinder for a relationship, it's a hookup site...

They often seek a compatible personality type. And for intelligent women, that often includes intelligent men. But I don't think your statement is accurate for that vast majority of the population.

Yeah? I know two couples who met on Tinder. (FWIW, second marriages)

Which is why women put the "not here for a hookup" disclaimer on their profile even more than their height requirements.
