IQ is no indicator of success in any area of life. It's a rush to find out you're in the top whatever percent... But in reality it bears few tangible gifts. not to mention unless professionally administered(even then) iq tests are meaningless and mostly fake. none, NONE, of those online tests are realĀ They serve no real purpose even when professionally administered. You have to pass tests no matter what area of life you want to access. IQ grants no admission. Even Mensa is more than just the number.

On the IQ thing, it still amazes me how many people actually know (or claim to know) their IQ. I don't know what mine is, and don't ever recall having any sort of IQ test.

130 IQ here, but I downplay it. Like you say, it's not an all giving gift of happiness and success at all, quite the opposite.

Maybe I phrased that wrong. If we were to judge my IQ based on say education for example, not a lot of evidence towards a 130 IQ would be shown in either my work or based on reports. I just didn't put effort in at the time due to feeling like there was little point but it was there in terms or other skills and qualities that I have. Something I look back on and regret is not showing my worth when I should have.
But, ho-hum. That's the way the cripple crumbles.

Perhaps, depends how young 'really young' is.
Anyway, enough about me, let's hope Ghost is paying attention.

At least we know what it would look like if Faulkner and a can of alphabet soup had a love child... Proofreading is your friend!

Never took an IQ test, kind of curious now. Though if GRE scores are any indication, I'm pretty dumb.

Oh, pshaw! Dumb, you? Best uncle in the world? Oh, p'shaw.
Still, IQ's aren't everything. It's the person, not the paper.

According to the obviously very accurate Facebook IQ test, I give Einstein a run for his money.
Also, I'm guessing that Ghost is already off the market after this stellar thread. Turn down the bitterness!

In Ghost's defense, he uses voice software rather than typing.
I think I was clear about how people meet others here. I don't think anyone bashed him about wanting to meet someone, just his method.
He's not new. He's been around for three years.
As far the "it's not a dating site" reminders, there IS a PD sister site FOR dating: Wheelerconnect. PD is still primarily a discussion site.
Do people meet here? Of course. Is that the primary purpose? No.

PD is kinda like college imo, officially it isn't for partying, but most go for the parties.

Oh yeah..... I forgot about the patronizing...... Like when someone tries to post something of the slight interest, and they get bombed with links from previous threads..... it's like saying: Hey!, look, you can post but the way we'd like you to post..... Or, in this case, he can try to hook up but the way you approve hooking up? Guys have tried to hook me up in public spaces, or here with the dreaded freaky PM's, and I just laugh about them and let them be....... but that's the difference between some of us..... I believe in tolerance and leaving people be.......and thinking out of my ass, like I'm doing right now every once in a while. Yup
