This is a blog that references 2 studies that rely on self reporting/participant opinion. In fact even the title has bias.
I feel like the design of experiment is not adequate to make such an assertion.
There are several ways to design experiments that would provide slightly more reliable data, for example by using existing couples as sample subjects (there is a reasonable assertion of attraction and a confirmed relationship). Or on the outlier end find people that fall over 1 standard deviation or more above the mean of their intelligence criteria and review their relationship status/history. Of course the criteria used to qualify intelligence will always leave room debate on the subject.
