Have not encountered any study that says "all geniuses have low EQs". Besides, EQ is such a vague term - what does it really mean? Philosophically - and psychologicaly - it remains to be a very vague, unmeasured and highly controversial topic.
Why do we overrate genius? It's called Status Anxiety. We overrate others to compensate for our lack. In Singaporean lingo, it's kiasu-ism or kiasu-ness.
We overrate and underestimate others because of Status Anxiety.
In fact, the question "is everyuone ultimately equal?" also a sign of this anxiety: At the bottom of this question is the idea that "yeah, I am far worse than/better than/as good as the others..."
We are what we want to be.
Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.
Read the book Status Anxiety by Alain de Boton for more information. Highly enlightening.

Geniuses have LESSer IQ's??? You don't know the meaning of the word genius, do you? BTW: There are many women that find a higher intellect EROTIC. And no, we aren't "equal" as that implies being exactly the same - we are of "equivalent potential value". Geniuses do get the ladies - Einstein was a womanizer. So much for your statement!

The word genius is very over-used these days. Most people who are supposedly genius are not.
