Mensa AG - Page 2

I've worked with doctors who were geniuses - at first they seem like snobs but once you get to know them and they open up to you they are usually very lonely people who devote themselves to their work. If they are married they are usually rather disconnected from their spouse/family. You must work with them for years and years before they start to open up and be familiar and friendly.

Marp does NOT deserve the rudeness she is getting from some.

Just sayin'

So from what I've read here the intellectually gifted, Mensa member-type individuals are arrogant, rude, and boring snobs? I hate to break the news, but after reading some of these posts, they sure don't have the market cornered.

I've posted here for quite a while and what was insinuated about Marp was not only wrong, but downright mean and nasty. She is owed an apology, but trust me, I won't hold my breath.

Nothing new with that.

There are numerous people on this forum that take any and every opportunity possible to denigrate and insult intelligent people.

They seem to have no idea what it says about them.

Hi @Noel7,

It really hurts me and makes me sad to see these kinds of mean-spirited comments.

Where would we be in the world without these really smart and gifted individuals?

I think of people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and the amazing technology that they created, for example.

Look what we can all do/use now, thanks to them.

How odd--I was just thinking of the AG I went to years ago, suddenly, on Friday. Hadn't thought about it in years and then you post this.

The AG can be fun--you meet people and at least at the one I went to, you can play games, if that's your thing. A large group such as San Diego probably would get some interesting sessions and speakers. The one I went to was in Boston. I wouldn't say it was the most interesting meeting I've ever attended but it was fun. We actually had more fun in our RG's every summer.

Look at the program and see if anything appeals. They are good places to meet people. I met my husband at a weekly Mensa games night. It would have been our 20th anniversary Leap Day, but he's passed on. Lots of people in our group got married--and are still married. Nice.

LOL.

I have now cruised through this thread twice. There was nothing whatever in the OP to warrant these responses. I see a lot of jealousy and inferiority complexes, and the "old history carryover/payback" thing going on.

It all says a whopping lot about those who spew it, none of it complimentary.

But I'm sure they'll carry on to spew another day, another topic, another victim.

It's like the Fight Club. The first rule is, you don't mention it.

And boring? Mmm. I had a good time meeting some well-known writers and I married my delightful husband. Not boring. He was a stage comedian (and a barista!) at the time.

Some people WERE boring, and some were the World's Most Intelligent UnderAchievers (I think there was a special interest group for that.) As in ANY group, there are people you like, and people you don't. One can't generalize.
