I'm now an official member of Mensa. In case you're wondering what that is, I'll explain. It's an international society for people whose IQ is in the top 2% of world population. It's non-political, free from racial and religious distinctions. It doesn't matter how old are you, where do you come from, what school did you go to, it's simply a society where you can enjoy each others company and participate in a wide range of social and cultural activities.
I was so ecstatic when I found out that I got in that I told everybody all about it. I was so proud of myself. But when I went to a meeting for new members, I was told that that's not a thing I should be proud of, because I was born with it, like with my height. On top of it, they said that when you're a man, the higher your IQ is, the greater the chance to get married (or just find a partner), but when you're a girl, the higher your IQ is, the chance of getting married is dramatically smaller. I was feeling pretty blue in that moment, and so was the rest of people there, so they decided to say something to cheer us up. They told us that some of Mensa members fell in love with other Mensa members, and one of the couples even got married and have a child now.
Honestly, I thought that everybody in Mensa looked like geeks or something like that. I never expected they would look normal. Some of them did look like geeks indeed, but there were pretty people as well. And there was one guy that I really liked. He was so hot, so I decided to join Mensa and hope to see him again, so that I could work my magic, knock him of his feet and make him my boyfriend (make my ex jealous)! :)

Wow! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNow I know why you have so specific state of mind (:
What happened with that guy you liked?
Thanks :) I never saw the guy again. I'm guessing that he just wasn't interested in joining the Mensa, and since we didn't get the chance to meet that day, that was it.
ReplyDeleteA shame.
ReplyDeleteNo regrets, there are surely plenty more ;)
So, how does it feel being in Mensa?
It's nice. The first thing old members tell new ones is that now we have proof we're not normal. :)
