[quote=CA renter][quote=zk]Being of high intellect is, really, almost worthless by itself. It’s rarely what determines how far you get in life financially. It’s more likely to hinder than help socially. Chicks don’t necessarily dig it. What’s it good for? Inventing stuff, maybe. I don’t know. Not much.
Hard work will get you more than intelligence. Social skills will get you a hundred times more in life than intelligence.[/quote]
Absolutely agree with this.[/quote]
It’s been my experience that women, and people in general, like cleverness and wit, which can come when you add social skills to intellect. People don’t like to be made to feel stupid or inferior, which was something I didn’t understand as a cocky teenager. Using your brains to create something interesting is attractive, but constantly using it to show everyone how smart you are is not (One of my wife’s friend’s husband is pretty awful in this regard).
Intelligence is like a generator. On it’s own it isn’t especially useful, but it can certainly be harnessed for useful application.
