@aclius are you up for it
Is intelligence important to you for making a friend?
-
@Zen00 weird flex but okay
-
Intelligence to act normal when its needed is important, I guess.
-
I mean have you seen Dumb and Dumber? lol
-
@Zen00 is that what u view important as friendship to you? Lol
-
@Chicken-meat If you have friends then No๐
-
@Zen00 Having a dog is a good example of friendship per se. Doggys have lightning fast thinking, and maybe that's all you need. They know what they want, they know what makes them smile (dogs smile, though, don't they? They do, though, don't they?), and intelligence doesn't much enter in to it.
For example, I could make a very elaborate, wordy joke about a certain politician* being a bellend, citing party dynamics and the history of British politics, and say it to my pal, who is non-political, but he'd still laugh because A. He'd find my emotions funny and B. It's plain to see the guy in question is a bellend.

I doubt you have a low IQ constructing a sentence like that, aFtEr AlL u did say u have good grammar and is well read. Unless u really tried very hard overtime to make it look as perfect as possible
I wrote the above over the course of two hours, like in 'Life of Brain' with the two Roman centurions shouting at him to get his verbs right. Even this sentence now is taking upside of half-and-hour, and this bit right now is taking at least ten minutes, and I tried to remember how spell 'minutes' and that took, ironically, a minute, and, in turn, I was so pleased with using the word 'ironically' correctly and cleverly in a sentence that I'm now full of hubris and that can only mean trouble for Mankind.
-
@RealHuman how does that answer my question? Im asking if intelligence is an important factor for u in making friends, or well an important value in the friends u have made so far.
-
@Chicken-meat yeah
-
@Chicken-meat
Intelligent people have less friend, coz more u become intelligent u become more selective .. So intelligence is not important but "sense of humour" or "sarcasm" xD -
@Chicken-meat Ofc it is...I can't go around making every lame idiot my friend :shrug:
-
@DarkIce69 lel but how about a good hearted "idiot" intelligence is good for conversation and reliability depending on what ur doing, But I believe a friend that is there in need no matter what people is perceived as "dumb or smart" is emotionally smart in my books of a friend indeed.
-
I mean, not really. as long as they're smart enough to know how to be a decent human being, i'd be up for it.
then again, intelligence isn't everything.

Yeah, that's kind of what I mean by purity. As long as things are kept real, free from the artificial, then a friendship will be built

imo being yourself is more important irrespective of people's views. Life is life, short or long, using it how you want is more important then some persons views of you.........
-
@sup That ain't attitude..it's just a choice u know...I like intellectual peepz more so I make them my frnds..that's all.otherwise, no offense to the less intellectual ones.
-
I think to a certain extent yes, it becomes infuriating to talk to someone who is constantly ignorant, but it really depends on the persons' disposition as well. People who are smart and have a bad disposition are unlikely to have a lot of friends. People who aren't smart but always think they know everything are likely to have the same result. For me personally, as long as someone is making the effort to understand even if they don't really understand I'm okay being their friend as long as we are just talking intelligence wise.

Thats actually a very good answer
