@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.
@Chicken-meat said in Is intelligence important to you for making a friend?:
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.
