Is high intelligence actually better?


Or could stupider people actually at times be at an advantage? Okay, So a friend I tend to think of as being rather smart was telling about a friend of a friend. His other buddy apparently has above average IQ possibly over 130, which is considered superior. My IQ is over 130 also. Okay, now it gets fun lol, so this man who's being talked about now it's been guessed may be around 100 give or take. I think average IQ is around 105. And my buddy who's telling me this is single and not been laid in years. His buddy is on his second divorce and isn't much of a ladies man at all now. Which means probably hasn't had any sex partner in some time. Me, while I'm single but don't get it nearly as often as I have in the past. Years ago, there were times I bedded maybe 5 different woman in a month lol. My friends (some of them) looked up to and admired my ability to score women then. But about this Mr 100 IQ or lower, well he's probably banged 200 or more different woman and he isn't yet 30 And apparently many are even rather hot women he's been with. Maybe I need to come across as a whole lot more stupid lol. Come on tell me what you think or know please!!!

I used to value intelligence above all other attributes. But as I got older I found that one's character was far more important. Virtues like courage, honesty, loyalty, integrity, and honor are qualities that are much more valuable than intelligence.
Intelligence with a broken moral compass is a net negative.
