Are women instinctively attracted to intelligence?

Is there a biological instinct that makes women aroused by intelligent men? (Or vice versa?)

Hypothetical, data-lacking arguments for:
>Obviously helps survival
>Obviously helps resource gathering
>You could argue that a lot of men who survived in the past had to be intelligent at least to an extent
>Aggressive men got into fights and lived for less time

Hypothetical, data-lacking arguments against:
>Most of human history was in some form of war and battle and thus the instinct to breed strong violent men is greater than intelligent men
>You could argue that intelligent men were less impulsive and violent and because of that were the betas/omegas of their society as aggressive men displaced them
>Even if aggressive men lived less long they had time to reproduce with more than enough women

I'm not making this thread because "H-hold me /sci/" by the way, I'm just interested.
