Why do a lot of men have high IQs and low common sense?

I have very high common sense but only moderate IQ. I work in railways so strongly embedded common sense safety culture is a major factor in everything I do as a shiftworker for the last 33 years.

I scored very high in the NSW HSC when I did year 12 at high school in 1986 (could have got into any course at any university in Australia) but went to uni to do electrical engineering and burnt myself out by the 3rd year. I abandoned tertiary education to which I've never returned.

As I write about fairly often, socially I'm completely inept and I'm terrible with everything to do with sex/dating/intimacy/relationships plus I don't have or see any need to have friends and do not socialise with anyone from my work outside of work.
