Myth: The smarter you are, the less likely you are to get girls and the more likely you are to be depressed/anxious

[brutal_blackpill]

I keep seeing this meme that these disorders are somehow because of how smart you are and that you take into account more risks behind social situations for example and thus become more anxious. There is also a myth that being smart somehow hampers you with girls. This is a complete and utter myth. Being smart helps you to get girls. Because higher IQ people tend to be more depressed and anxious, a lot of people think that being smart implies a higher likelihood of anxiety and depression.

Here's the misconception here: IQ DOES NOT = being good at controlling cognitive biases and thus does not equal being smart in the first place. It only means that you are good at finding patterns. Now, if you are great at finding patterns, it is good for solving puzzles and many other things that can help you succeed in a life dominated by jobs that require solving these puzzles, which is why IQ is a good predictor of success.

However, when it comes to controlling emotional and cognitive biases, IQ has no effect. There have been studies done that show that higher IQ people are less willing to change their mind. This is crucial for many of the idiots here who for example refuse to change their mind on how personality does actually matter and end up wasting decades jacking off to porn because they think they're not good looking enough to date women. Go outside. There are many people who are not chads dating good looking women. "The researchers also assessed intelligence. They found that people who scored more highly on the intelligence test showed just as much of the cognitive bias as the rest. They found no link between intelligence and myside bias." Source: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0963721413480174

What does this all mean? What this means is that depression and anxiety are fundamentally stupid and that you are not as smart as you think if you have either one of these. Just think about it. When is depression or anxiety ever rational? If you are in front of a woman and want to somehow date her, is it more advantageous for you to be confident or be anxious? It is smarter to be confident. If an anxious person like this scores a 150 on his IQ test, it doesn't change the fact that his actions are dumb when it comes to talking to women. Note that I'm not saying that anxiety or depression is in your control. It is often, if not always, not in your control anyways. I am simply responding to this idea that being anxious or depressed is a result of being "too smart". It is not since they are both fundamentally irrational.

This is true but being smart is the precursor to realizing you’re deficiencies and problems. The problem is that 90 IQ Chad never questions himself bc he simply isn’t smart enough to, while 125 IQ has an internal monologue that says “what if she thinks x, what if I’m not y). Chad just does shit without thinking

i think you have to be below 100 IQ to be a Chad honestly

Cope attractive people are actually more intelligent due to better development.

High IQ can lead to higher inhibition which is a negative for most people

Better development means higher IQ using that is another skill in itself. If both you and the chad started from zero and were tasked at mastering a certain skill The chad would be more capable of mastering it without outside influences telling him it's not cool to be smart.

it’s actually cool to be smart in school nowadays

Yes, but not smarter people. The whole point of this thread was to show that high IQ != smart. High IQ = good at solving puzzles that's it. It doesn't make you better at handling biases, and if anything, higher IQ people have even more biases and inaccurate judgements in social situations which is the reason why they have higher inhibitions. They are simply dumber when it comes to social situations.

Hey, in my school too, they weren't bright at all, but succeeded in life by getting jobs above their level of smartness.
One of the became a manager even though he was dumb as a rock. Another one because he was so good looking was chosen at various high-school events to give speeches, although the didn't really understand the meaning of all those words, he would read or memorize beforehand. He thought this would be a pretty nice career and through his connection became the official spokesperson for the police, appearing regularly on TV for various announcements.

yeah the brutalest blackpill came to me when some chad who didn’t know shit got picked when he interviewed just because he was GL, like literally he sat there in the group and gave two word answers and kept saying um, that’s when i realized looks above all

unironically this. Stupid people are way too caught up with the extrinsic value to life rather than the intrinsic, most of them are extremely extroverted because they need external stimuli to function, that's basically the premise of an attractive person's persona.
