Relax and don't try so hard. My husband was 42 when we met and we had both already been through marriages with incompatible mates. It's when we weren't looking for someone that we found each other. Concentrate on making friends and let nature take it's course. If the right person comes along, you'll know it. Just don't get too caught up in the 'perfect' person, compatibility is more complicated than a list of personality traits.
How ARE you going to verify that I am a genius?
How can you even become sure that I am NOT one?
Wasn't planning on taking the time one way or the other. Besides, you've done a pretty good job all by yourself of helping us all to form an OPINION about you. I don't believe anyone here is looking for proof - because we don't put a lot of stock in all of this B.S. to begin with.

Comments, S.W.A.P., not tasks, comments.
(BTW, thx to Lola for the anagram! )
I have realized, however, that I like a good debate more than I thought; & my hat is off to you for that.

You can't just ask me to scan in an IQ test. That can be forged too easily. Even if Mensa had a members list, how could I prove to you that I was the member I claim to be?
I don't believe in IQ tests, so scanning one in is moot. When I asked if you were a member of Mensa, I wasn't "requiring" proof - I would have taken your word for it. Where I began doubting you was when you stated you are not in the Prometheus Society either. Your reasons for not being a member just don't convince me. Don't worry about proof either way - I'm not asking for it. You aren't on trial here! I just choose not to believe you.

Its not like there's something you can do that proves I'm not a genius, either. Geniuses aren't perfect, so lack of perfection doesn't prove it. Geniuses make mistakes like anyone else - so even if I do something that is a mistake, that doesn't prove I am not a genius. Most geniuses aren't good at everything so even if you ask me to do something I can't do, that doesn't prove I am not a genius.
The only way to be sure is to see for yourself. If you don't think you can tell the difference between a genius and normal person, I suppose you could ask me to point out the differences.
But if you do that, don't scream that I am bragging when I answer you, okay?
Again - stuff I really just don't have the inclination to bother with. YOU are the one who has made these claims; I simply questioned some of your opinions & beliefs with some of my own. Notice I did not use the word FACTS. You can preach 6 ways to Sunday regarding your genius, intelligence, smarts...whatever --- thus far it has not changed my mind. If anything, I believe that your continued posts are compounding the general concensus that, genius or not, you are as mixed up as the rest of us. We all got our quirks & for that, you'd think you could just ACCEPT your genius lot in life and get on with living.
The same way Joe Schmoe accepts his diabetes; or Suzi Q accepts her dwarfism; or how I accept my Sjogren's & inability to have children.
You have missed the mark by being obsessed with anyone here (or out there in the real world too?) not understanding your plight. I don't waste time anymore explaining why I don't have kids. It doesn't matter to me anymore & it never mattered to others! And Joe Schmoe isn't gonna waste his air crying to the world about his condition either - do you see a pattern here?!? For the love of Christmas, recite the Serenity Prayer already!!!
YOU are choosing to be lonely because you are choosing to believe you can only be compatible with someone in your league. Please. Get some in-depth counseling. And not from your pal the genius shrink. Get it from a person who interacts with everyone - not just "your kind".
Name one instance where I attempted to CONVINCE anyone of my genius.
There have been none.
I did not do that.

If you say so.
She_Was, my curiosity is why you care so much about what unattached online entities think of you. You spend so much time typing up your long-winded, grandiose posts - which are so monotonous now that I only read every 3-4 lines of them because much of what you type now is just sing-song, a bunch of garbled mish-mosh. You have set yourself up for the response you have received here, I see you have a knack for it. I actually feel a bit sorry for you, you seem to have some issues with socializing - which is your own doing, you seem to be so bent on setting yourself apart. You do not allow yourself room for anyone to empathize with you due to your robotic and unnatural state of mind. Act a little more human and the pendulum will swing in a different direction.

Ok, this is what you guys don't seem to get. People with an extremely high IQ tend to have social issues. They don't get how to communicate in quite the same way as everyone else. Think of an autistic savant type person. Granted, that is an extreme example, but it illustrates the mentality of the highly intelligent personality. I'm not quite a genius, but I have had those issues somewhat myself. When I am in a work mode I tend to be very brusque and abrupt, I forget things like social niceties. My husband is often described as being arrogant and unfeeling when he is simply talking how he feels comfortable. He uses big words and is very technical because that is how he thinks, not because he is trying to show off. That is just who he is and other people don't get that. I can see this is as being even more of an issue with someone with a higher genius IQ. So maybe instead of criticizing this person, you could try to see things from how they see it.

No can do. That path to my understanding was jilted a few posts ago. Result of a lesser IQ. She'll have to understand that.
