The main drawback to having a high IQ is that you tend to struggle to do the kinds of things mankind has been doing for thousands of years. Things like finding a mate, raising children, and [i]socializing[/i].

@Theyitis this is total and prejudicial balderdash!
Theyitis · 36-40, M
@Yulianna Are you being serious? I definitely read that somewhere. Also, I have an exceptionally high IQ and am not offended by it.
@Theyitis I don’t believe that for a minute.

@NoGamesTolerated @Yulianna Okay then, why don’t you tell me what is the main drawback to having a high IQ? Or are they all just better than the rest of us, we should grovel at their feet?
@Theyitis hahaha oh heck no!!!!!!

@Theyitis oh dear...

well, i have definitely read somewhere that the world is flat, but i don't believe it for a moment. your critical anaysis of data seems just a little underdeveloped.

[quote] I have an exceptionally high IQ[/quote]

excellent, i have no reason not to believe you...

but, if that was the case, why would you write

it simply doesn't make sense.

@Theyitis I have read it too
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@Jenny1234 i'm afraid that the fact that two people have read something does absolutely nothing to establish orreinforce its veracity.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Yulianna why is this upsetting you so much?
@Jenny1234 I don’t think she’s upset. I think she’s curious as to why people believe what they do.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@NoGamesTolerated maybe you’re right but I feel like she’s upset
@Jenny1234 Ok..
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@Jenny1234 🤗 i am not at all upset, and maybe that's the problem here. maybe i should be upset at all this prejudicial nonsense about people with high IQs, posted by people who clearly know no better.

but no, i tried to explain to you how... oh fuck it, i am just wasting my time here.

@NoGamesTolerated
@Yulianna I’m understanding you very well. And I agree!!!
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@NoGamesTolerated 🤗 thank you, it is so frustrating...
@Yulianna Don’t be frustrated. I totally agree with what you’ve said here!
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Yulianna it’s just a discussion. Everyone had their own opinion. You shouldn’t let other people’s difference of opinion frustrate you

@Yulianna are you saying also that not all gay men dress fashionably?

And also that all lesbians play softball is inaccurate?

Next thing you’ll tell me is that “blondes have more fun” is balderdash
Theyitis · 36-40, M
@Yulianna I don’t remember anymore where I read it, but it was written by a professional. So is it your position then that there are no drawbacks to having a high IQ?
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@Theyitis not at all, there are positives and negatives in almost every condition of life.
Theyitis · 36-40, M
@Yulianna Okay, if the things I listed are not some of the drawbacks to having a high IQ, then what [i]are[/i] some negatives of having a high IQ?
@JoeyFoxx WHAT? BLONDES DO **NOT** HAVE **MORE** FUN?!

My entire world has just come crashing down...

@Theyitis If you have a exceptionally high IQ....god help the human race. But I digress you do give hope because you will not breed. Thank God.
Theyitis · 36-40, M
@KiwiBird Wow, that was rude.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@Theyitis that's antipodeans for you, blunt to the point of rudeness, always tell the truth...
