This is actually a different argument than saying "more intelligence is inherently better". I think that's something most women would say about men, but it doesn't really work the other way around.

For men, the correlary would probably be partner count. Women tend to want a man of similar or slightly-higher partner count. So, it's a compatibility factor, rather than an absolute good.

An absolute good for men would be income. More money is usually better.

An absolute good for women would be beauty. More beauty is usually better.
