Local highly-observant man Gavin Wells recently started to sincerely wish he was dumb enough to experience genuine happiness, multiple friends confirmed.
I knew someone like this. Bless her, dumb as a brick but a happy little silly goose, never seen her without a smile on her face.
We never made fun of her, and was always nice to hang out with in a group. She didn’t get a lot of the things going on in movies so we’d bave to explain, but never detracted to the fun.
Wish being dumb was more often like that. Instead most dumb people I know are hateful and vitriolic towards things they don’t understand (which is almost everything) making everybody else miserable.
I try surrounding myself with as many intelligent people as I can, those that don’t rage against things they don’t understand (which is also almost everything).
Same, I also know a girl like this. Maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed but she’s lovely and I wouldn’t change her for anything. Intelligence isn’t the only positive attribute a person can have. Kindness and generosity are massively important!
I used to hang out with a different kind of dumb person. He would watch a movie he didn’t understand but thought he did. Once i “flirted” for him with his ex girlfriend over text, because he wanted her back, but most of the time had no idea what she was talking about. She said she saw him today and he had a new haircut. I texted back: yeah they grew over my head (it’s a saying in german that means something is getting too much, but it also is a hair pun.) she laughed and i gave his phone back. He read it and didn’t understand it. Even if I explained it to him, he just didn’t understand what might be funny. So he texted her back: he also shaved his pubes.
God bless his soul.
Making a clever joke, and then following it up with a completely juvenile joke or dumb observation is also a valid strategy. Shows you can be smart but not aloof.

She was smart enough to not let the things she doesn’t understand drag her down. In reality, there’s not one single intelligence.

LMAO, I thought that was funny.
I guess this means I am also a dumb one.
