    Some of us need the validation because we can’t do well in sports. Is every athlete a fool for paying to participate and compete in their sport? Mensa actually had a lot of special interest groups and it filters out people who don’t want to have intelligent conversation.

      I don’t play sports and I’m not in MENSA and I somehow manage to have intelligent conversation. And non intelligent conversations cause I’m not a snob

      Hobby groups are a thing that exist outside of MENSA… And you don’t have to pay for them to talk to you 😱

        they’re usually extremely unfocused open registration instances established to attract folks who, charitably, have been tricked by Reddit and other social media into thinking their posts don’t have to be funny or interesting
