Why is it so difficult to find intelligent people to converse with? I do not believe I am smart enough to join MENSA, but apparently I'm still smart enough to not fit in with most people. I am highly attracted to intelligence. My brain YEARNS for mental stimulation....

@Exotic Eyez ...Im sorry I dont read too good. I could get thru reply. Good luck on your quest.

@Rock⭐ You basically insult me and don't even have an intelligent rebuttal to give in response. Good job at proving the exact points I made in my original post. 👍

@Exotic Eyez anytime! 😘

Of course no one cares about how smart I am, or how smart anyone else is. I'm just venting because I am tired of the lack of intellectual stimulation. I went into great detail about this to the man with the screen name Rock just 8 minutes ago. If you can scroll up and read what I said to him, otherwise I'd be repeating myself, and I don't want to copy and paste. Haha. Some of the things you've discussed in your response, such as you not really caring about intelligence so much for a romantic relationship, I addressed in my response to him above. I agree you cannot "force" intelligent conversation, much like you can't force physical attraction. I guess what I'm venting about is just finding people who have a baseline of above average intelligence that I COULD talk to about complex topics just as easily as I could talk about karaoke and the kinds of songs I like to sing. 🤷‍♀️This is not just an internet problem--it's a people problem.

@Exotic Eyez I'm just curious, but do you try to start these conversations yourself when talking to people?

@Caleb What do you mean? Are you asking me if I INITIATE conversations with people in general, or are you asking me if I initiate intelligent conversations with people??

@Exotic Eyez I'm asking if you initiate intelligent conversations with people since that's what we're discussing. Context matters.

@Exotic Eyez so I'm taking a lack of an answer as a no. You should probably reconsider your approach. If you want people to converse with you on a higher level than you need to be initiating those conversations. Intelligent people know not to talk over people's head so they don't actually initiate most of these conversations arbitrarily. The best way for someone to start them is usually to simply share a new piece of information then people can self-select to join that conversation. However if you're trying to actively find people for dating purposes you might just try starting them. Don't be surprised however those somebody has to ask what you're talking about. This doesn't mean they're unintelligent, perhaps just ignorant on the subject matter.

@Caleb What are you talking about "lack of an answer"?? I sent you a 5 paragraph response and answered your question specifically and then some. 🤷‍♀️

@Exotic Eyez you gave me a five paragraph answer about whether or not you initiate these conversations? I don't see it. The last thing from you asked me to clarify what I meant and I clarified it.

@Exotic Eyez Let's say you're asked on a date, that's them first. But you wait for them to bring up every topic. When I'm on a date, I appreciate my date having something to talk about

@Thomas Are you asking me a question or making a statement? I hope it's not a statement because at no point did I say or even imply in my post, or to any messages in this thread, that I'm a passive conversationalist.

Thank you for the advice. I agree with you. If romance, or any other connection is going to happen, it SHOULD happen organically; it cannot be forced. However, I disagree that the issue is not intellect, but only connection. I would venture to say that it is both. I am highly attracted to intelligence. I need physical attraction AND mental stimulation in order to have romantic interest in a person. Both must co-exist and there is no room for negotiation. Perhaps I worded my post poorly by asking "why is it so hard to FIND..?" I am not really searching that hard, if at all. I just find myself becoming extremely bored with the types of people that message me, or the types of men that will approach me (if I get approached at all). If a man messages me and his grammar, spelling and punctuation resembles that of a 3rd grader, it is a huge turn-off for me. I cannot help that I'm not attracted to stupidity. 🤷‍♀️ I am not trying to be rude or mean. I like what I like, much like anyone else likes what they like.

@Exotic Eyez your redefining here makes more sense, and to that this rebuttal. The vast majority of "intelligent" people cannot stand conversation. I'm no Einstein or anything, but I performed exceptionally well and graduated at 16, and was done with trade school by 18. The last thing I want to do, is talk to literally anyone. The only caveat being, when there is an emotional pull or a connection. Then, I'll talk about the underside of a rock and have a blast. If you want the good communication it takes a good connection, you would like them to be separate but the hard truth is they are one.

@Sully I stated in my last message that certain things need to co-exist in order to maintain my romantic interest. I do not think it's an all or none situation: connection OR communication. I agree it takes both for ME to be romantically interested in someone, but I have met people that I got along with that I didn't have a romantic connection with. You're a man, and typically, women talk a lot more than men do. Lol. Men don't talk as much as women do, even if they are average or below average intelligence. So, it doesn't surprise me that you don't want to talk to anyone most days. Honestly, I can sit in my apartment for DAYS and not see or talk to anyone. I chalked it up to more of a symptom of depression and not of intelligence...but maybe it's both. 🤷‍♀️ I have days when I want to be left alone. I don't want to see or talk to ANYBODY. I enjoy my peace and quiet. I cannot stand living in a noisy environment full of chaos. I can sit in a room with no music, no television playing...no noise and just THINK. I don't consider myself an introvert. Perhaps I lean more towards ambivert. I can be the life of the party. I am NOT shy. I can walk up to anybody and strike up a conversation. I can go out by myself and meet people and talk to them. That doesn't bother me at all. However, even if I go to karaoke and am surrounded by loud music all night, or loud music at a night club, when I return home for the night, I want PEACE AND QUIET!

@Exotic Eyez it's important to remember we are all emotional creatures. An emotional connection does not love make. A connection is required, that's non negotiable. What sort, that's up in the air depending on you, the other party and the environment. But if there's no connection there's no point. Also, gender plays exactly a 0% role in anyone's willingness to speak or socialize, if you want to be seen as intelligent it's important that what you say, actually is. I wish you luck but you are truly your own worst enemy by all visible metrics.

Intelligence can manifest itself in a number of ways. It can include all of the subjects you've described and many others. I'm speaking more along the lines of interacting with people who have a BASELINE of above average intelligence and can demonstrate their ability to think outside the box, be able to have an opinion for most topics, can elaborate what they say and not just give flat closed ended answers, have common sense and have the ability to use critical thinking skills. The topics in can vary in a conversation. The person should be able to discuss just about anything. I don't know all there is to know in this world. No one person knows EVERYTHING. But if the subject is one that most people have heard of or have some level of familiarity with, the person I'm chatting with should be able to dip deeper into the topic--not give only surface level answers. Does it make sense what I am saying?? Whatever another person and I discuss DOES NOT have to be a super complex topic such as astrophysics. We can talk about organic food, or places we have traveled to. I don't care. I just want them to be able to hold a meaningful conversation without it feeling like I'm pulling teeth to get them to talk. I hate having to do all of the heavy lifting in a conversation while the other person barely speaks. It's exhausting. 🤷‍♀️ Haha @ "natural selection." I thought that is what occurred when someone decides to try a new Tik Tok trend like eat a Tide pod and they expire....natural selection in action. 😂 All jokes aside though, you're right--I know it isn't feasible for EVERYONE to be intelligent, but I shouldn't consistently run into people that act like they need help just to tie their shoes either! 🤷‍♀️ Dating apps are not the problem. It's a worldwide problem. All of these people on the dating apps/sites are the same knuckleheads you'll run into out in public. People don't just log onto the Internet and their IQ magically drops 40 points! They were already dim before they got here! Just saying! 🤷‍♀️ P.S. I would say Boo is a hybrid of a dating app and an online chat room. I'm on several other sites in addition to Boo that are actual DATING sites and they don't have open forums where you can chat with both men and women locally, and/or from around the entire world.

Haha! Your first paragraph was humorous. What I found particularly amusing (but also sad) was when you said "their brains (were) overwhelmed by pure awe and too much information they couldn't really comprehend...." Lol! 🤣 Yeah, I might have to do some active research to find groups, online forums, etc. that are enticing to individuals with above average intelligence. Meeting people who are above average in intelligence is arduous enough as it is. But to find individuals who are both intelligent AND physically attractive?? I might as well go on a dummy mission for a pot of gold at the end of the dang rainbow! 😬 🌈

Pretty much. Or the "new songs" that I connect with live 1,000s of miles away. 🙄

Touché, my fellow Aries brother. 👍 Reasonably attractive, reasonably intelligent, in decent physical shape and the ability to hold a conversation shouldn't be a hard ask, but it sure feels like it is these days. 😕

Right. I think many people are misunderstanding my post. I am not saying the topics in every conversation has to be complex (which I thought I thoroughly explained that in my initial post by stating the conversation DOES NOT have to be about quantum physics or anything else scientific). My complaint is that many people lack the ability to hold a meaningful conversation about ANYTHING. We could be talking about how society has changed from the 1800s until now, how things are mass produced with lower quality materials, but we are charged a premium price, how the dating world is in shambles compared to previous generations, or talk about organic food versus conventional food, or how modern horror movies are lousy compared to the silver screen era horror films....I mean, it DOES NOT matter TOO MUCH what the subject is (it matters a little) as much as it matter if that person is able to expound upon ANY topic in that discussion in a meaningful way and actually have an opinion. Does that make sense what I am saying?? It's becoming frustrating with some of the responses I am receiving in this thread with people telling me that maybe the topics I choose are not topics other people are interested in, or how a conversation is a 2 way street, and I can't hold a conversation on my end, maybe that is the problem, or asking me if I initiate "intelligent conversations" with other people. They are missing the point I'm trying to make: why is it hard to find people who can hold a conversation PERIOD?? Yes, shallow topics about beer, cartoons, weed and Tik Tok trends will lose my interest if the person doesn't have anything to share with ne about those topics that isn't something I already know or how much they like those things. Those same topics can be MADE ro be interesting if the person gives a more in-depth history behind it. For instance, if they talk about beer, maybe they could explain when beer first came into existence and how it used to be made back in the day. I'm just throwing some random example out there. Beer doesn’t pique my curiosity, but I'm just saying if a person is GOING to talk about it, at least make it interesting. 🤣 Lol!

@Exotic Eyez Yes it makes a lot of sense to what your saying. Thanks for the inspiration to wanting to learn how to hold and have better conversations by having profound knowledge of the Topic being asked other than speaking about what's already generally known. Keeps it more interesting. That's the start of holding a conversation having more knowledge, wisdom, understanding of the topics being spoked for whatevers being said. Lol I wrote a whole totally different reply from this one which I felt was more well said B4 😆 I left the window came back and everything I wrote in response to this was gone had to rewrite it.🤦😆

@Mr.Kool68 Haha, no worries. That happened to me last night when I sent my last response to a guy named Sully in this chat thread. 😀 I had written 3 or 4 paragraphs and when I clicked out of the chat screen to research something I was telling him about, when I clicked back to the chat thread, everything I had written was GONE!!! 😲 I make it a habit of copying my long messages after I write them JUST IN CASE something happens, but I didn't do that last night because I only clicked out of the screen for less than a minute, and I didn't know all of my text would be deleted. 😬 Yeah, I am not saying the mundane topics that interest the general public are necessarily topics I want to explore, BUT IF a person is going to bring them up into the conversation, they should at least make it interesting. I honestly just think the problem is that most people are not able to hold a conversation. I am not sure if it has ALWAYS been this way, but I need mental stimulation, otherwise I will become bored and disengage from that dialogue. 🤷‍♀️ I just don't think there are THAT many intelligent people to begin with which may be another reason why I struggle to find someone who can mentally stimulate me. I'm not THAT smart, yet at the same time, I'm not THAT stupid to be able to communicate at the level that MOST people operate at. I grow tired of having to speak in layman's terms or "dumb things down." I want to be able to express myself fully without holding back. 🤷‍♀️

@Exotic Eyez Lol yup that's exactly what happened to me. I went out to research something came back in less than 20 seconds cause I know it erases my written paragraphs when I leave the window hoping it didn't do it and Bam yup it did it. Lol Same thought as you I said to my self I'm a start copying my written paragraphs now. It's funny you said not mundane topics cause thats the last sentence I was gone put in my last response before I sent it lol. If a person gone speak about topics I'm not interested in I could at least have something positive and profound about it. It may not have been that way all the time, I believe it's the program of the mind from society, especially with the electronics devices we have it's distracting and it may be causing some cognitive functions. Gotta research that one. Lol It's also funny you say that many people not intelligent cause I thought that to myself before from conversations with people that human beings not that smart as we think we are 😆 But at the same time we are kinda from what we capable of doing naturally and the technology created. I be wanting to go deeper into who we are, why we here, what's our purpose etc you know and we just programmed in this society loop 🤦🙄😵‍💫🙃🤣

@Mr.Kool68 I made it a habit to copy my larger sized messages a long time ago. That idea didn't occur to me only last night. Lol. I started copying my messages 5+ years ago after being on the Plenty of Fish dating app and becoming frustrated at times when I would write numerous paragraphs of text, click the send button, and the message wouldn't go through! 🙄🤦‍♀️ Technology might be ONE segment of why there are many people who lack communication skills, but I don't think that is the reason overall. I think there is just a larger population of people that are below average in intelligence. It IS possible that there has always been a larger portion of people who are below average in intelligence, but I have become more hyper aware of it the older I get. 🤷‍♀️ Or maybe they aren't BELOW average in intelligence...maybe many people are RIGHT on the border of average intelligence and retardation. 🤷‍♀️ I am not saying that to be mean, but it is based on my real life observations. I have easily had OVER 10,000 online conversations over the years and countless public conversations in a variety of social settings (school, work, social gatherings, etc.) and it cannot be merely bad luck that I repeatedly encounter so many stupid people. 🤷‍♀️ I believe the primary I encounter so many idiotic people is BECAUSE our society is just saturated with them. 🤷‍♀️ That IS true that most of us are not as smart as we hink we are. I sometimes feel like I'm becoming more dumb than I used to be. I don't know if that is a result of depression hijacking my brain, which has caused a significant decline in my cognitive abilities OR if it is because I'm surrounded by so many stupid people that their stupidity is rubbing off of me! 😟 Perhaps it's a combination of factors: severe depression, environmental toxins, Chem trails, chemicals they add to foods, plus being bombarded by stupidity day in and day out. 🤷‍♀️🤣 ORRRRR....I am suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect and I think I'm more competent than I actually am! 🥴 P.S. Think about what you wrote in the sentence in your next to last paragraph, "....capable of doing naturally and the technology created." You DO realize that all of the technology created are created by people with super high levels of intelligence, right??!! I don't think even a person with an average IQ would have the mental capacity to know how to build a Smartphone from complete scratch with no prototype to follow. 🤷‍♀️

@Exotic Eyez Lol. A part of me said copy and paste before i leave the chat because of experiences I had but sometimes it don't do it so I thought maybe I'll get away with it but na now it's for sure to do forever now 😆. Not retardation 🤣 But Yeah I agree with you not being technology overall just lacking of the will to learn I think At the same time though like you said and it's a fact that the results of depression, stress, environmental toxins, foods we eat, lack of exercise, smoking, drinking etc also plays a part in cognitive disfunctions. They say we become like the people we around so being bombarded by stupidity day in and day out has its role in us being stupid too 🤷😵‍💫🤣 Yeah I am aware of the technology created by people are from people of super high intelligence which was from the ancient civilizations of the past. It just been copied or created for the fact that one gram of DNA could store 700 tb of data so we have tons information in our dna that could be unlocked and that's where ideas probably come from so we have that ability of creation within us as well.

@Mr.Kool68 You sound like more of an optimist. I'm a pessimist. I'm also a realistic. I'm a pessimistic realist. 🤣 You are grasping at something, anything, to explain the stupidity epidemic amongst us. Think about it....these highly intellectual people who design technology that I don't think I could ever come close to being able to conjure with my brain, are exposed to the SAME environmental toxins, food toxins, same stressors, and some of them probably don't exercise and engage in other poor lifestyle habits such as drinking, smoking, etc. So why are they STILL so much smarter than the rest of us?? All of these issues CAN play a role in cognitive decline (I am almost certain severe depression has wreaked havoc on my brain over time), but that doesn't explain why there is a disproportionate population of stupid people versus smart people. Lol. Okay, so how can I get away from the stupidity then?? Live off grid?? 🤣🤣 You think people from ancient civilizations had the prototypes for Smartphones?? You say our modern technology is a copy of technology from thousands of years ago. I agree to an extent, but we have acquired technology that previous generations could have never fathomed. Yes, I think I read in the book for my Information Technology class this semester that the human brain has the potential to store about 100 million GB of information, which is enough to fill the entire Library of Congress. 🤔 Don't quote me on that just yet though because I'll need to double check my figures to be absolutely certain. I do remember the book using the Library of Congress as a reference. 😄

@Exotic Eyez na I'm optimist to a certain extent like my own individual gaining purposes. I understand the power of the mind and our ability to create our own reality. I truly don't see a change of this generation behavior though. I think people to programmed on this society. I'm not of this world 🤣 but I do understand that I gotta get with the program of life the way things are or I won't live up to the standards of this programmed planet lol.🙄😆 Pessimistic is a Capricorn trait and Im definitely a Pess 😆 but Im just willing to fix them negative personality traits I have. I guess I'm a little bit of both. Lol The reason why they know more is because they have the time to be more analytical than us. We enslaved from a small group of people and not everyone have the same purpose or beliefs they have we just following they rules. If we had the time and freedom to be us we would bring all sorts of creative things new inventions etc cause it's embedded within us and they know it. That's why they putting all this stuff out to keep us distracted of our full potential They just wanna be in control. It some sort of species with a controlling agenda behind the veil I think it's deeper than we know. Living off grid would be Really nice 😄😁 Yeah our body can store 13.5 billion years of data. Ironically that's how old the universe is. We literally have all the information stored in our body from the beginning of time until this very moment inside of us. So when people say the universe is inside you it's not a figure of speech Due to the law thermodynamics Recited words from a scientist name Billy Carson So yeah I believe they could fathom the technology we have now. Scientist still don't even know how the pyramids was built to this day. They haven't decoded that info yet. I personally believe a lot of ancestors

Yes it makes a lot of sense what your saying. Not everyone mind program is compatible or have the extensive knowledge in conversations that could have you like wow I never knew that Ive learned something new today 😄 I gotta admit though I have to expand my knowledge as well. Well alot of us do lol I know this a late response but I didn't see the reply of the previous until the next day. I thought you erase or blocked me like this dude is the perfect example of what I described. See how pessimistic I am 🤣

@Mr.Kool68 Haha, I very rarely block people except under extreme provocation. I get blocked left and right all the time though. 😀 I don't think one day goes by that I don't offend at least ONE person. 🙄I can't stand how sensitive people in society have become. There are some legitimate things to take offense over, but I have had people block, and/or unmatch me, and/or report me simply because they disagreed with my opinion or because I wrote in my bio that I will only date a Christian man. In fact, on POF last summer, I received hate mail from a man telling me, "Christians are l0sers..." while continuing to insult me and just be unnecessarily rude. And for what?? All because HE READ my POF bio where I wrote that I'm a Christian. Really?? 🤨 If he doesn't like what he read in my bio, then he can easily move onto another profile. This same dude continued to call me names and insult me before he ultimately told me to "go party with Jesus" followed by an "lmao" and then ended with an "F off and go D ie." Then he blocked me! 😲 He didn't just block me though, he ALSO reported me to POF, and they (POF) temporarily removed my profile from the app. Seriously??!! This man messaged ME with hate mail, cursed at me, belittled me, basically harrassed me, but to tell me to go D IE?? That is sooo evil! I have never said that to anyone! 🤨 The biggest slap in the face is that said numerous mean things to me, but POF takes HIS side and removed MY profile! 🤨 I don't think these online sites do a thorough investigation before they remove people's profiles just because another person reported them. Just because you disagree with my world view or opinion is not grounds to block and/or report. If that were the case, I'd be blocking and reporting people every single day. I don't act like a big baby just because I don't agree with someone's opinion. 🙄 Well, you did have some grammatical errors in your messages, including your newest one. But I wouldn't block you for that. I also chose not to be pedantic about your errors, which took a lot of willpower because I'm a stickler for grammar, spelling and punctuation. 🙂

@Exotic Eyez @Exotic Eyez Lol. I never felt a way about the thought of being blocked just to throw that in there but yeah some people don't have self control and get mad over the simplest things.😄 Wow people just be crazy with the insults. SMH. I've been in that situation before where I got blocked from a opinion made. Thanks for not being so pedantic about my errors. Ill take that as a liking, a compliment toward me 😁🥰 I might be getting Somewhere 👀😍🤣

@Mr.Kool68 I've already had 2 men insult me today in another chat thread. It's the post a man wrote yesterday asking if it is okay to start a conversation with a "How are you?" question. I said that it's not. I can't stand that question. I've posted my opinion dozens of times to different people in that chat thread. Two men have insulted me in that thread. The first guy is named Joey and the second guy is named Kevin. Joey sent a message saying that no man of status has ever tried to s leep with me and I should stop flattering myself because I am a 4 or 5 on my best day, and then ended his insult by calling me an "old woman." The 2nd man, Kevin, told me that profiles like mine are the reason why men choose to stay single, and that it is full of negativity of things that I don't want, and full of "red flags." When I responded to defend myself, he said, "TLDR" and said all I did was talk about myself which is "textbook narcissism ." How would he even know all i did was talk about myself if he didn't even read everything I wrote?? 🤷‍♀️ These are prime examples of the types of knuckleheads I have to deal with online. Both of these men went out of their way to insult me, and for what?? Because they read my bio and didn't like what I had to say?? 🤷‍♀️

Oh no--please don't hate your intelligence! 😟 People like me appreciate it!

Hi, Barrett. I cannot say that I know a whole lot about astronomy, but I'm open to learning more about it. 🙂 The extent of my astronomical knowledge would be when I get excited when I hear and/or read about there being a solar and/or lunar eclipse, super moon, blood moon, etc.

Your nerdy response actually made me smile. 🙂 I don't even know what Gaussian distribution is, but the mere fact that you used terminology I am NOT familiar with and nested it within a message responding to my dilemma to struggling to find individuals who can hold a meaningful conversation, has piqued my interest enough to compel me to do further research on that subject. 🙂 I need a man to be on level intellectually at minimum. I think I would prefer if the man were smarter than me. 🤷‍♀️ Not too huge of an IQ disparity though. For instance, if my IQ was 120 and his IQ was 160+. It's possible it could work, but if he is that super smart, I might across as very dim to that man. 🤣

I noticed you're working on your graduate degree in Physics. I think that is fascinating. 😀 I am a Computer Science major so I am required to take physics classes at some point.

@Exotic Eyez good for you! Always learning and self development, especially in this modern era of advanced internet, technology and AI boosting, it's not that hard to do so 😁

@Exotic Eyez of course.. Physics is one of the fundamental/essential roots or building blocks for every branch of study in natural science.. the other one is math😁

@Vitor✌️ Shen Haha, for sure. 😀 I like science though. Even as a child I found science intriguing. I used to watch science shows on TV as a child. 😬 I've also been semi-obsessed with not just true crime series and/or documentaries, but forensic science in particular. I've been watching forensic science series for years now. Have you ever watched an episode of the Forensic Files? Since you're a physics major, I presume you have excellent math skills? Reading, writing and spelling are areas I excel in. Advanced math? Not so much. 😬 I have to take Calculus, which I'm not looking forward to, but maybe it is because the math teachers I had in school didn't fully explain things, or maybe I just had horrible study skills and didn't thoroughly read the material. 🤷‍♀️ I took Algebra 2 my senior year of high school and when I would ask the teacher for help with a problem, he would reply, "Okay, well let's pull out the graphing calculator! 😀" I would think to myself, "I don't want to use the freaking graphing calculator! I want to learn how to do the math problem from scratch!! 🤨"

@Vitor✌️ Shen I hope I didn't offend you by calling your initial response "nerdy." I actually liked the response you gave. I can come across as "nerdy" myself at times. So, I was not using "nerdy" in a derogatory at all. Individuals with your type of brain are the ones I desire to converse with. 🙂

@Exotic Eyez Don't worry. I cannot be offended easily since I respect any kind of opinions, views, the big picture is more important here. Yes, I sometimes watch documentaries including forensic science.. I am average in math and in general better in physics type of person.

In relation to what specifically? I feel a huge decline in my own cognitive abilities, yet despite that, I still seem to be light years ahead of most of the people I chat with online and in public. 🤷‍♀️ The way I interpret your question is you asking about a person's ability to be perceptive to acquiring new knowledge versus a person who thinks they know everything and refuse to accept any other beliefs or ideas outside of their own, thus, "rigid." That is why I am asking what you mean specifically by those questions because they can be open to interpretation. I would rather you tell me what you mean instead of me ASSUME or GUESS at what you mean.

@Exotic Eyez I used to speak like this to my therapist. It's quite amusing isn't it? Having all this knowledge yet unable to do anything useful with it. You're brain is shooting electricity all through your brain making your thoughts, reflexes, and actions a fraction faster than normal humans. My advice use that focus to learn more. Forget about these lack of conversations with people who can't understand your perception right now and use this time to learn more. Eventually your mind will tire it's self out through overload of knowledge. The question was simple, yet you over thought it. Those are signs of a Nerodivergent on the spectrum. That's all the energy I'm willing to put into this conversation. Have a good day. 🙂

@Randy I am not "neurodivergent" or "on the spectrum." I have never been diagnosed with Asperger's or any other developmental disability." Neurodivergent" seems to be a word that is getting tossed around way too often these days just like the words "narcissism" and "crazy." Yes, to YOU it was a simple question. I just asked for clarification so I wouldn't ASSUME what you meant by those questions. Intelligence is also understanding that there is A LOT that you DON'T know. I don't assume I know EVERYTHING. I have been told by people that I have a tendency to overanalyze sometimes. I agree that I do. I don't overanalyze EVERYTHING though, but I've met people who do. Although there are many people "on the spectrum" (presumably ASD) that are ALSO highly intelligent, being analytical isn't a trait of people only on the spectrum either. Overthinking things can also be a sign of Intelligence. I've met many people who are highly intelligent that will ovethink seemingly simple things. My father was highly intelligent. My mom isn't too shabby either, although she has certain issues that undermine her Intelligence that will make her sometimes APPEAR to be stupid (such as her delusions of grandeur). The only thing I've been diagnosed with neurologically is Major Depressive Disorder. I've watched countless videos on autism, Asperger's, etc. and read articles about it. Almost none of the traits that are I've seen, read or heard about apply to me. You have a good day/night also.

Men are more into s*x???!!! Get outta here!!!! 😲😲😲😲🤣🤣🤣🤣 Do you think that you're sharing a new revelation that I was unaware of?? 🤷‍♀️ It's common knowledge (or should be) that men have an extremely strong primal drive for s*x. While it is true men have a need for s*x and women more along the lines of protection and security, those things should not be a person's ONLY focus in a romantic endeavor. Unless the only thing you seek are flings and meaningless rendezvous, you're going to need more than those qualities in order to sustain a long-term relationship.

The shrinking of pie you have no idea how fast I can eat 😜
