Some people call them stupid and prefer "intelligent" women.

I find them cute.

Intelligent but with a child-like sense of wonder = perfect.

Naive, maybe, depending on how you define that. If you mean wonder-filled and not fixated on how we "should" do things, absolutely. If you mean social obliviousness, sure, I sure as hell am and we'd understand each-other. If you mean ignorance, I'm not really interested in a "dumb" partner.

(of a person or action) showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment.

So by many would be considered dumb for lacking wisdom aka knowledge.

Like trusting people when they say they'll do something or taking people st their word, or just not knowing stuff. Thinking everyone is an nice and kind as yourself.

She's so naive she believes everything she reads.

Being naive generally means not to think enough. Naive persons often show a certain ignorance or simplicity when thinking about a problem. This could be due to lack of experience, information or ability to make judgments.

Although Oxford people refer being naive as Foolish or unsophisticated, naive are those who follow their heart and not just their mind.Naive are those simpleton people who are genuine and do not manipulate the things.Naive refers to innocent persons who are natural and are unaffected by the earthly values

A person who despite overwhelming blantent evidence is oblivious to whats going on in his/ her surroundings

I naively state the oblivious sometimes, also say stupid things.

It can be entertaining for some people, others call me stupid.

Sly, my IQ was in the 99th percentile when I was 11. It's at least above average now.

A few people have thought that I'm stupid, just because I may come out with the wrong words or not be able to speak from fear. I may not get some things (especially social cues) and it makes me appear naive sometimes.

Screw those people who think you're stupid. They're judgemental. Being naive doesn't make one stupid.

Your definition is mostly accurate, though.

At this point, I wonder if there's anything that can be meaningfully called intelligence other than street smarts.
