I've been thinking about this since posting my standard "it's about consent" post. You don't really get to choose who you love. I've fallen for very, very smart women and women with shall we say attractive and endearing attributes other than a very high IQ. Having a long and in depth debate about the benefits and drawbacks of a two-state solution in Israel or exploring evolutionary biology in primates isn't necessary for the trust, respect, attraction, affection, equality, patience and forgiveness involved in a healthy and happy relationship.
I dunno, considering that there are so many different incarnations of the broad term "mentally retarded", and each person really is unique. I don't think I could give a definitive answer to the question.
