Everyone is always calling me a genius, but I've learned that they apply the term too loosely, and thus I support much of this article's points. For example, when socializing with my colleagues a couple weeks ago, a very pretty girl asked me at the bar if I wanted a drink. I already had one in my hand, so I told her, "I already have one in my hand." My colleagues, as they often do, said to me after she walked away, "Good to point that out, genius." I will admit that it is very hard to be a genius, and I empathize with others in my same position.

- winter_blue 9y agoThat sounds more like they're making fun of you or mocking you for being an idiot and not realizing that a very pretty girl was interested in you. I will say I've a noticed a lot of book-smart people can be total idiots in social situations.

- MichaelGG 9y agoLike being at a conference and helping an attractive person with a problem on their laptop, and they say "we could take this up to my room so you can work better" and you reply "nah, the WiFi is better in the lobby"?
- hellofunk 9y agoAnd they reply, "Hm, good idea, I like it when people watch." And you reply, "Me too, I sometimes get a new client out of it." And their eyes widen, impressed, asking, "How many clients do you have?" And you reply, "In total? I've probably had a few hundred." And in shock they admit this is more than was even mentioned in the autobiography of Casanova himself, at which point you reply, "Casanova was in IT?!"
- bayonetz 9y ago@hellofunk is clearly having a deadpan laugh. @winter_blue either missed this or is a next level genius of the deadpan his/herself!
