I'm struggling to remember if you have ever defined any chick as "Hott".  :hmm:

A plethora.

Colour me corrected, then.  :)

I'd be curious to see what my IQ is.  Might be an interesting conversation point, if I score high.

Everyone scores high though. Based on conversation at least.

Though I did know a girl who once told me her IQ was 74.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I'm not saying she is brilliant, but she is a college grad and holds down a professional job.

Our computer science teacher in junior high used to blab on about how she scored low on an IQ test as if it invalidated the concept of a measured IQ.  Thing is, though she was well-trained on computer stuff she otherwise came across as a bit dim.

I don't get the hate for Mensa.  There is nothing snobby about it, it's just a club where you can discuss things with other intelligent people, and take a break from Languish.

:lol:

Yes, it is snobby. At least, every person I've ever known (which has been far too many) who was a regular at Mensa meetings was an absolute intellectual snob who felt the need to tell everyone around them that they were in Mensa and how smart they were.

Oh... right.... to you that's the norm... nevermind. Carry on. :)

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

FWIW, I qualified for Mensa in college, but never sent in the cash for the membership. I thought it was rather stupid then, and my opinion has never really gone up much for it.

I've read that 2/3 of Mensa's members are male.  That might pose some demographic challenges for a dating site.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Probably a much more balanced ratio than most dating sites. :P

So, instead of clueless guys emailing pics of their dicks, we can look forward to clueless folks of both sexes emailing scans of their brains?  ;)

I took some IQ tests back when I was in the mental ward.  They were just a number.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The first sentence is probably not one you want to start a dating profile with.  :hmm:
