Family: Proud dad

Proud dad

By Sandra - 21/01/2021 11:01

Today, my husband, who is proud of his 155 IQ, is depressed our son is becoming a typical football jock with an IQ only just into the triple digits. He even thinks I must have had an affair, because no way could someone as smart as him have produced such a blockhead with tattoos. FML

Today, my 11-year-old son and I took an IQ test for a laugh. To be honest, I've often suspected that I may have some form of mental retardation, but I didn't expect to get a score of 79, while he got one of 114. FML

Today, my son is smarter than average, almost genius level, and he has now reached an age where not only does he question me at every turn, he actually out-argues me 90% of the time and I can’t do anything about it because technically he’s right and I’m wrong. FML

Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

My type of dude

Today, I realized I have a type: a man who is highly intelligent to begin with, but then either decides to apply his IQ exclusively to theoretical thinking and not real life, or who purposely dulls his wits to the point where you can hardly even have a conversation any more. FML

Today, I witnessed my husband swat a coffee bean over and over again, all the while mistaking it for a fly. I then figured he probably has a lower IQ than I do, which wouldn't be so bad if mine wasn't a few points away from minor retardation. FML

Today, my husband is sulking because our daughter's first boyfriend is a rugby-playing giant he can’t scare away with the standard father's threat of a good beating unless he treats our daughter well. I married a real idiot manchild. FML

Pride and joy

By Unproud daddy moment - 19/03/2021 16:00 - United Kingdom

Today, my wife refuses to admit our 13-year-old son has no chance in hell of getting into college. He never got more than an E or an F on his exams, routinely misspells his own name, can't remember our address and I just watched him spend 10 minutes looking for his lost hat which, by the way, was on his head.

Today, we got the IQ test results back, which show our daughter is on the high end of the genius scale. This confirms what my wife and I have long feared: our 6-year-old is FAR smarter than we are. No wonder she wins all the arguments we have. FML

Today, at my engagement party, I overheard my future father-in-law saying he was happy his son was marrying "the dumb, pretty one" because all the "smart ones" he dated at university were "nerds with small tits." FML

#1 Dad of the day

Today, according to my husband, our son is at the difficult age where he can finally speak fluent English, but is still too childishly dumb to say anything interesting, intelligent or frankly worth listening to at all. There are times I wish I was a divorced single mum. FML

For an IQ of 155, your husband doesn't sound very smart lol. Just goes to show IQ doesn't mean shit

I'd re-check his IQ score. If he thinks tattoos are hereditary, he's a dumb-ass!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that's NOT his IQ, which makes me think he's not a super high IQ in general for making that up. He'd be one of the smartest on earth, considering Mensa is 132 or higher and is the top 2%. Steven Hawking has an IQ of 160. Plus, IQ isn't a great way to measure intelligence anyway, which most with really high IQs acknowledge.

This. MENSA are a joke, for starters, and everyone learns differently, and retains knowledge differently. I took their entry test a few years ago, and my IQ was measured at 187. I am certainly not that intelligent, but considering the test doesn't cover everything a human can learn, it's a pretty crappy method for measuring someone's intelligence.

The MENSA test depends on you thinking *the same way* as the test-taker. It's not a measure of intelligence; it's a measure of sameness.

Tell him to kick rocks. this is just another rendition of shitty father can't relate to his child so hes disappointed in them. does he have a good relationship with his dad? he smart apparently so ask him to do some research on how to be a good father or at the very least a decent human being.
