If your partners feel intellectually inferior, you're either picking the wrong partners or acting in a way that makes them feel insecure about their intelligence.
NT average intelligence is higher than overall average intelligence, but not by much - the exact number depends on the study but the ones I've seen show an average 10-20 points higher than the overall population average, which is a difference you are unlikely to notice in person, even disregarding individual variation (which is critical). And you are certainly not limited to a partner with an IQ of 100. There are lots of smart women around, NT or not - maybe you're looking in the wrong places.
There are very, very few people who are so smart that they can't relate to a person of average intelligence, although there are quite a few people who can't relate with people at all and try very hard to convince themselves that it's due to a massive intellect, even going to the extent of making others feel stupid (consciously or subconsciously). There are also quite a few men who seem to prefer dating less intelligent women, for whatever reason. If you choose an intelligent and confident partner like yourself, and respect her opinions and intelligence, you're unlikely to find that she's intimidated by your gigantic NT brain.
