Intelligence and Loneliness

[cuddle striker]

3d sex toys? so print schematics for 3d printers, huh. must be an interesting job.

I've dated dumb, smart, brilliant, foolish.

the one you end up with long term is the one that'll put up with your shit, the one that you laugh with. not the engineer or the janitor, because outside of work you're not your job.

I've also met some incredibly intelligent janitors and many very stupid engineers.

I mean, don't go seeking someone with down's syndrome, and don't think you're going to catch a rising star and ride it. But in general, it's all the other things that matter.

But you're never alone when you develop a narcissistic personality aka god complex. If humans create meaning then you can imagine that everything you do is the most important aspect of existence and it's perfectly okay and no one can stop you or be condescending to you. Therefore the power has shifted to you and the suffering of being alone goes away. Instead of being jealous of what you don't have, you create a situation where you feel that everyone should want to emulate every detail of your personality and if they don't think that then they are fucking r e t a r d e d because you know in your heart that every single person on this planet has no fucking clue why they do the things that they do and therefore no matter how elegant their appearance is, it is all an illusion and that in reality everyone is on the same field of intelligence. It's very important to see yourself as already being the ultimate being because the alternative is feeling that you are stupid and that is not true. Everything is an illusion and all you are doing is paralyzing yourself by thinking like that. So let your dreams tell your brain that they already exist as you. You don't need anything and you don't need to explain yourself to anybody and if nobody understands you and denies to connect with you, then nobody is worth your interaction. They are complete shit like the insects you kill everyday. People can be aggressive and disagree with you and it's okay but never let them pull you down. It's better for them to wound you physically then for them to make you think you are not a "good person" and that you're "doing the wrong thing" If you allow that, you are being tricked. It's possible to be open to new information without having to destroy your ego. Your intelligence will be alienating and you should make that a source of strength.

Don't let ANYONE stop you from being who you are.

EDIT: You can't say r e t a r d e d on here? lol

so I am this pretty nerdy guy, my looks just yell of nerdiness, and I took a walk outside my house for the first time in like 4 years, so when I got out of my house my neighbours started ogling at me and wondering why I was outside. I could tell by their inferior eyes that they sensed my great intellect already then, so I went to the store feeling all confident that I could hit up one of the clerks, but I couldn't. so now I am home all alone again
Fuck women

Hope this is a joke. Most people are so self absorbed and/or addicted to smartphones their thoughts about you are pretty neutral.

A-U-T-I-S-M, what does it mean?
Silence, and friends unseen!
A few brains as well: that is autism!

It's probably not true, but if your profile pic is a pick of you, maybe they think you're the offspring of Harrison Ford and a 1980s female East German Cold War athlete.

Are you sure you didn't sparkle like a certain vampire too? I have an ex-gf that would move to meet you if that's the case.

Spoiler

I'm teasing.

I just turned down another guy today becuase he believed in jesus christ. What the hell. I can't believe that idiots still roam this earth and that there are no men around with any sense.

I'm not sure whether to be proud of this or not, but although I don't believe in God I once was on a date with a girl who did and it was very important to her, so I invented an entirely new Christian-based cosmology on the fly to explain that maybe i do really believe in God and therefore she should totally bone me.

I'm not advocating changing who you are for someone you like, that's just terrible self-esteem. I was impressed though because later after the fact, I reviewed my own improv and discovered I had indeed created some very interesting theodicical questions I had never considered before about the nature of God being a lying trickster.

For the record, she and I never went anywhere. But yes I am aware of three irony of making shit up on the fly and then accidentally discovering I may actually believe in a God who does things the same way.

I really haven't seen this trend in my professional life... except among the aspies. Aspies really aren't that smart, they're just obsessive, so they learn one or two things to the exclusion of all else. It makes them seem smarter than they really are - assuming they pick something useful, like physics, or pharmacology, and not the history of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Most of the professionals I work with are in the legal, medical, and psychology professions. They're all very smart people, and most are married, or at least in a stable relationship. In my age group most of them have kids. However, because they're smart they tend to be choosier with their mates. Truly smart people don't make dumb decisions very often.
If you're a professional, you don't jump onto the first dick you see. You figure out what kind of dick you want to jump onto, then work towards it.

Its kind of a good thing i don't have agirl friend because what if she had a foot fetish and made me tickle her feet and lick her toes. and then give her massages on the soles of her feet and then smell her socks. i don't know if i could do that because i don't have a foot fetish

anyone else in this thread listen to muse

 

[DuckSucker]

Yeah, is it truly intelligent to think that you're alone because you're just too smart? I think being smart would realize that bitterness is leading you to find convenient excuses for why you are alone rather than acknowledge the real, possibly inconvenient, truth.

Its not just an inconvenient truth if youre an ugly, unfuckable, unlikeable, unlovable, unredeemable, unfuckable loser. That's like go ahead and pull the trigger territory. Bitterness is the easier pill to swallow I guess.

I do think 99% people take relationships and shit for granted, though. But that's to a degree, just some general human condition shit.

lol i'm an idiot and i still cant get any roastie pussy, wym?

Has anyone else noticed a corrilation between level of intellegence and likelyhood of said person not being in a relationship? It seems like smart people never are able to find true love and dumb people who listen to top 40 and are generally dumbass as all hell are able to fuck whenever they want to. Why is this? Is there something inherent in intelligence that makes it so that people aren't willing to find you sexually or even emotionally attractive?

This thought came to me as i was listening to the fantastic record by indie legend Weezer known as "Pinkerton" in which a Harvard Graduate student can't find love, only cheap prostitutes and underaged japanese girls. This really got me thinking as to why someone as intellegent as River Cuomo (lead singer of weezer) wasn't able to find true love, despite being of high intellegence.

What are your thoughts, kiwis?

Various studies have made connections between High Intelligence and Depression

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/h...ss-iq-study-findings-depression-a8005801.html

Many famous intelligent people have died alone, or a virgin. Such as Nikola Tesla and Sir Isaac Newton.

Another study found Intelligent people are happier alone

Firstly, their findings showed that people who lived in more densely populated areas were less satisfied with their life in general, compared to those who live in less populated areas. The second finding that the psychologists discovered was that the more social a person is with their close friends, the greater they said their happiness was. But there was an exception. These correlations were diminished or even reversed when the results of intelligent people were analyzed. In other words – when smart people spend time with their friends, it makes them less happy.

https://www.learning-mind.com/why-smart-people-are-better-off-alone/

One theory is that highly intelligent people prefer time on personal projects rather than socializing. While another suggestion is that Highly Intelligent people find small-talk in social situations pointless, and that their nuanced arguments and viewpoints aren't even comprehended by their friends, making them feel more alone. I would guess this would only be exacerbated in a relationship. How are you supposed to talk about anything if you don't feel understood by your own partner?
