Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is play stupid.

There are multiple intelligences and some of them aren't always very noticeable upon first meeting something.

Don't worry about being called "pretentious". The term is basically used ironically at this point in Millienial culture.

I mean... I went on a date with a girl that worked in abnormal neuroscience but had little to no social intelligence. She preferred working with cadavers.

Attraction, I think, is based on some reciprocity of emotional intelligence as well. Unless you're a sociopath. You're probably not a sociopath.

Personally I think it's attractive. Hopefully it is not thrown in a person's face.

Also remember that there is a big difference between being intelligent and being a know it all.

Intelligence isn't off putting...Boasting is.

Be u ....... the world will adjust ......

if all in the world do as you say, who shall be left to adjust?
