This is your regular reminder that if you are the smartest person in the room, go find another room. You are not going to run out of people or rooms.

@evacide looking, but it's sometimes hard when you have extra requirements, like people not being a complete bag of dicks.

Or boring, jeebuz, can I hang with the class clowns instead of the overly-proud-to-be-accepted-into-Mensa set?

@aes Maybe you should reconsider your ideas about what counts as "smart."

@evacide @aes

Along the lines of Mensa, I had an ex girlfriend who was, truly, very intelligent. Super smart.

Whenever she met someone, within five minutes she would ask them if they had a master’s degree, because, you know, she did (if they did, she’d ask if it was in CS because that’s much harder to get than one in the humanities…)

At some point I realized that just because someone ticks all the boxes on the “what am I looking for in a partner” doesn’t mean you should be with them…

@rk @evacide @aes coincidentally, mentioning Mensa is one of the quickest ways to get me to leave a room.
