I actually once knew a guy who was super into eugenics and constantly talked about how only people with "superior intelligence" (Like him, obvs) should be able to procreate, and he also claimed to have a retardedly high IQ of like 170 or something

When I pointed out to him that he was a scrawny nerd who could barely lift his arms over his head who nobody could possibly look at and declare to have good genetics, worked in a job he hated, and was perpetually broke because it paid absolute poo poo money, he got really angry and started saying that I shouldn't just throw his argument out with these "ad-hominem attacks"

It owned, dunking on that guy was hilarious

I basically pointed out to him that he had an inherently self defeating argument because he declared that people with higher IQs were just better and should be selected for, then I pointed out that despite his reportedly immense IQ his life was lovely and he was an idiot. This got into him saying that that was just anecdotal, I was trying to attack him and not his point, a whole buncha stuff that I'm sure would've led to him hitting me if I weren't much bigger than him.

The dude was also kind of a racist. I got the feeling that he was basically just a pathetic moron who had never accomplished much of anything in his life, so he latched onto things that were inherent parts of him and that he'd never had to put any effort into(the "high IQ", being white)and doubled down on those being good things that mattered, while everything else like being a physically healthy or personally likable person were the worthless acts of fools.

The more I look back at this, the more I think perhaps I should've beaten him up, but such is life

My dad told me as a kid my high IQ didn't mean anything if I didn't actually do anything with it, which is harsh but also absolutely true. Perhaps more people should have had this gently but firmly explained to them as children?

I blame the school system and the whole setup around "gifted and talented" kids. It's entirely possible for some people to coast by doing jack poo poo and still get A's(and often get praised for it instead of having someone go 'maybe we should figure out another way to make sure they'll grow up into someone who can put effort into things'), and for those same people to hit a brick wall once they enter college and can't do that anymore. At that point they either get their poo poo together and figure out they need to work for things, or turn into sadsacks like Mr. "we should select for people like me, with my genius brains and super high IQ and no other redeeming qualities whatsoever".

I have some stupidly high IQ, like 140 or something(I got it tested by some clinic as a kid because my dad is the kinda person who wants to know that sort of thing, also hardcore bragging, not even humble, boi), but who gives a poo poo? I think it quickly becomes apparent that IQ doesn't necessarily mean much in the grand scheme of things. It's blatantly obvious that the only people who care are people who got arbitrarily high number on the "you're smart" test, then structured their lives around that because it meant, y'know, gently caress you mom I'm great actually. Being as smart as Einstein doesn't mean a god drat thing if you don't have the drive to work your entire life on scientific theories. It's way better to be a crazily driven, dedicated person than a genius, in my opinion.

Also, a teenager asking how to kiss is possibly the most adorable thing

Yeah, this. Of course, if you're good at learning and retaining information, that gives you some innate advantages. But as with everything in life, it's something that needs to be nurtured and developed. It's like how some people might have perfect pitch and a natural aptitude for music but it's still not going to mean anything if they don't also practice, and even then it's not like they're automatically going to be a rich celebrity.

Yeah it turns out being gifted for your age and having people build up your ego based on that can have some pretty catastrophic psychological results once you're an adult and nobody is impressed that you read at a college level, or whatever. Being smart for your age still means other people are going to catch up, and that's not a bad thing.

Online IQ test is ruining my [26M] polyamorous relationship [22F and 19F]

quote:

A little background: I am a Dom in a polyamorous relationship with two lovely young submissive women, whom we'll call "Sarah" [22F] and "Jane" [19F]. Jane and I have been living together for three years, and Sarah moved in with us in January of this year. Everything has been going quite well, but an issue has just arisen in our relationship that is making me very concerned.

Whilst perusing the web on Tuesday night, I discovered an online IQ test. I am aware that most online IQ tests are inaccurate, but, having studied psychology, I knew that this test used the exact same types of questions as a professional IQ test. I decided to play a little game with my subs. They are very into psychological domination and humiliation, and I thought it would be erotic to dominate them intellectually by outscoring them on the IQ test. While they are bright girls, I had no doubt that my IQ would be higher than theirs. I had them take the test, and Sarah scored 128; Jane, 134. I took the test after them. However, to my chagrin, I scored 112.

This was, understandably, humiliating. Sarah and Jane didn't say anything. We continued on as usual afterwards, but these results aroused many doubts in the back of my mind. As a Dom, I demand total submission from my girls, and it is my responsibility to control them; I cannot do this if they are able to outsmart me. I am sure Sarah and Jane know this too. Although they have not disobeyed or disrespected me outright, I am picking up on small aspects of their behaviour that show a loss of respect for me. I am afraid that this could kill their attraction to me.

I am asking for advice from /r/relationships because BDSMcommunity has been disrespectful to me in the past; input from both BDSM and vanilla perspectives is welcome. I would like to know a way to mend the damage this has caused to our relationship.

tl;dr: IQ test showed that my IQ is lower than my subs', compromising my position as a Dom.

Why does he need a high IQ to dom?

I’m pretty sure my IQ is higher than the rock but he could probably lock me up in his basement and have his way with me anyways.

Also 110ish is solid dunning Kruger territory since you’re definitely not dumb but not smart enough to realize you’re no genius either.

Yeah I mean also if you're actually domming and not just being an abusive rear end then you don't need to worry about being 'outsmarted' because everyone wants to be there. You talk things over and do things that are mutually pleasurable. If a scene doesn't work like you wanted (because you're a dumbass), you don't start to get paranoid that your girlfriends are plotting against you, because that'd be insane.

The fact he's so worried about this combined with the fact that he had a 16 year old living with him alone when he was 23 and has been 'domming' her since spells out what's going on pretty clearly, which doesn't detract from him hilariously being soooo convinced he's smarter than the 'bright girls' only to get trounced.

EDIT: You also don't prey on vulnerable teenagers if that wasn't clear. I mean that kind of stuff happens in the kink scene and denying it is just a way to pretend it doesn't happen, which is no good, but it sounds like he was getting extremely called out on it and ran away because he can't have his 'bright girls' learning poo poo's hosed. I hope they lock him in the basement and run.

If he had a higher IQ he'd know to dump them for a new crop of exploitable 16-year-olds, the only long-term plan for scumbags like him (other than indefinite jail time).

Hell, in most of the healthier-seeming BDSM relationships I've seen the submissive was almost invariably way smarter than their dom and everyone knew it. They're people who have trouble turning their brains off and want relief from paralyzing overanalysis; their dream match is someone that will listen to them and give them a simple answer back. It doesn't matter if the answers aren't always right, as long as they can both cope with mistakes. That's just life.

Meanwhile this chucklefuck is so insecure that he's melting down about an online IQ test and then wonders why it doesn't feel like his authority is being respected :thunk:
