My wife and I are both qualified to join MENSA but we’ve heard it’s a weird nerd prom.

Did the mensa thing back in collage to impress a girl.
They make you pay $$$ to hang with them, ahh, no.
The really smart people I know would not be caught dead on mensa membership rolls.
IQ is kind of meaningless compared to work ethic/motivation.

[Mensa] “it’s a weird nerd prom.”

LOL! And so true. Lapsed Mensan here. At Mensa gatherings I was always the only conservative in the room.

I qualified and joined Mensa, and you’re right... pretty weird. I went to only one meeting, never renewed my annual membership, but I kept the membership card. LOL!

MENSA is WAY more socially “normal”, and less nerdy, than INTERTEL, let me assure you!
