Social skills, eh? Hm. I don’t know about that.

They got one for finding someone of the same honesty level?

My wife and I both qualify for MENSA due to test scores in the past. We met on the personals on Craigslist and it didn’t cost us a dime.

Above average intelligence, say 130 or so I can understand, these are bright people who are still sufficiently anchored in the day to day to perceive the world as the world perceives them. Get much beyond 160 or so and “cerebral” is about the best you can do for an adjective. It’s the rare human being who has an extremely high IQ, is athletic, sociable to the point of a winning personality, sexually attractive, etc., the stereotype has a factual basis.

Braniacs? People who eat a lot of fiber? (Pretty sure that should be brainiacs)

Nonsense. The last thing I want in a woman is someone who overthinks everything the way I do. Besides, I’m looking for somebody who wants me for my body and not just my mind.

Really smart people aren’t interested in sex. This site is bogus.

I’m guessing it’s going to be packed with liberals who think that going to expensive colleges and smoking pot with outright Marxists makes them smart.

I went to a Mensa meeting once. Never so bored in my life. The single men in there just stayed on their side of the room, like a 6th grade dance.

To get them to talk was like pulling teeth. Very nice guys, but they just didn’t talk.

Dating is so difficult, I hate it too.

Common sense is important to me.

I actually joined Mensa (umpty-odd years ago!) to meet smart men. I found that the majority were the geekiest of geeks but there were a few keepers, and because of the 2 to 1 ratio of men to women in Mensa, it was kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.

(Oh, and it worked! I met my Mr. Fauxvert at a Mensa party. I’ve held onto him for a couple of decades now. ;)

Mensa meat market.

How many Mensans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None - they already have enough dim bulbs.

There are stereotypes about very smart people—they’re dull, they’re ugly, they dress badly, they’re socially awkward and sexually incompetent, they have no common sense, they’re boring, etc. etc. I had the great good fortune to work with some very gifted intellects, and while there were a few who conformed to the stereotypes, most of them did not. There were many who were funny, charming, handsome or beautiful, talented in several fields, athletic, or good value at a party.

I’m in that category, and I am a complete loser. I don’t know what they can get out of such a small, and not very appealing, group, quite frankly. Unless it is a pay site. And if it is a pay site, it costs significantly more money to join.

Years ago I got an invite to join Mensa. I met with them to find out more and found that I couldn’t breath in the atmosphere of “smug” that was there.
