"It simply takes too long to evaluate intelligence...". True. But even if intelligence is evaluated, it might not be in the interest of the female to go with the most intelligent mate.

What she prioritizes will be a combination of wealth, smartness, and other factors that will make her happy and her offspring "fitter", obviously often in a subconscious way.

Btw, I agree with all you are saying. I just thought I should support it, since even evaluating that someone is intelligent in our definition does not necessarily make them a good mate in the evolutionary sense.
