There's nothing like getting things off your chest

I understand a little what you mean because I have had people act immaturely by ignoring me, but for different reason because they did the running. So I understand where you're coming from, and its not nice.

I've not been a member here long, so have only had a quick dekko at the start of this thread and at the end.
Well !!!!!!
Um.
I'm not easily impressed by perceived intelligence, nor do I instantly dismiss anyone with apparently one brain cell...cuz til you get to know someone you never really know....even then you don't always....
I went out with a guy for 5 yrs and found out he was cheating with a lady who packed carrots in a factory and was illiterate as well.
HIS pathetic excuse was that he felt intimidated by my intelligence and secretly despised me because I was a member of mensa.
Now, I actually was envious of *his* intelligence cuz he was a computer software creating expert and I used to feel quite inferior to him at times!!
I would rather go for Emotional Intelligence every time!!
I dont blame musegirl getting peeed orrfff no wonder she feels insulted, and I too will miss her posts if she stays off here awhile.

Ooops i've just re-read what i wrote and it sounds as if I am being derogatory about the lady he was cheating with. I didn't mean it like that, I was just explaining the difference in 'perceived intelligence' - and I;ve been told the lady in question was actually a rather nice person (who didnt know he was with me at the time).

yeah, nice people pack carrots too ya know.......

It doesn't pay to come across as too intelligent. As much as people desire it, when they're confronted by it they can find it intimidating. Come to think of it you can apply that to most qualities.

I'm not a complete minger (or so I've been told), but I've certainly not got to the stage where I'm hiring a PA to go through my inbox. I can only assume thats because I'm just coherent enough to be repellent.

I done got to thick myself up.

Yeah I was trying to say in a rambling way that it doesn't really matter what a person's ruddy IQ is as long as you get on well and share the same sense of humor/interests/ideals etc. I dont think it should figure in our profiles surely? I often find so-called high IQ people up their own bottoms, I mean lets face it and be less PC here and call a spade a shovel - you see and hear people drone on about how clever they are, but have you ever met someone who rubbed your nose in it that they only got one brain cell?! I bet not. As long as a person knows how many beans make five, and I click with them, thats good enough for me!

As an aside...."share the same sense of humor/interests/ideals etc" --- based on that premise alone, one of my bestest ever friends had down syndrome.

Ok, I have edited my post for the last time--


Now I shall see meself out the door...


Cheers!

I will miss you all and see you after the shit storm clears!!

When people first meet me, I get the impression the think I should grunt instead of talk. Then when we get in a convo they realise I am fairly intelligent. I think that can be fairly off-putting....to men anyway. Some women seem to have the attitude, 'oh look the chimp can talk'

Perhaps you could change that to *some* women.......and I feel sad if that's the only kind you've met lately......

His excuses were ALL compliments so I hope you can see now how weird and unacceptable this is for me. It just didn't add up.. which AGAIN smashes the whole, "I am straightforward and honest" description. JUST SAY WHAT YOU MEAN!!! If you think me a dawg just say it but don't IM me for weeks and days on end and then piss off like your mad at me.

Darkhorse wins again. Absolutely spot on with that little lot.
