Uninteresting hobbies and professions are not what's truly at fault here. As the article suggests, people with higher IQs probably spend much more time realizing their ambition than they do trying to have sex. And it doesn't really matter how smart you are -- if you aren't a practiced socializer, you're going to have trouble competing with people who are.

Also, it seems that intelligent people place quite a high value on, well, intelligence. I doubt most people working on startups, research, ground-breaking products, etc want a mate who doesn't understand or care for any of it.
