Well I'm no expert but a lot of really smart people lack social skills. For any number of reasons they can't relate to the masses. This causes problems when it comes to making, having or keeping friends and relationships. They are often seen as arrogant which keeps people at a distance. They may have the knowledge for a great job but that doesn't mean they will be able to hold that job, or if they do then they will possibly be so involved with work that they just lessen their ability to socialize even more.
Stupid people do get ridicule but also compassion from people who are patient and want to help. They probably have better social skills because of more interactions on a daily basis. They may seem like more fun to be around because they won't have such high expectations for others and because they don't over think things, which can be maddening at times.
I'm sure someone will be able to explain this better, but I think they can both have it equally difficult or equally easier but for different reasons.
Sad but true. I kinda like people who are considered not so attractive...maybe because I'm stupid? They usually have something about them that many conventionally good looking people lack...like brains. I also think social awkwardness is kinda cute. I consider myself a bit of a socially inept idiot but that's quite alright with me. I enjoy being a corny doofus. Well there's my story. More than you bargained for, eh. My bad.
I grew up the stereo typical dumb blond,and by dumb I don't mean I was unable to speak,and the blond was largely due to bleach.Being slow witted I had to learn to compensate.On my first day of any class I would scope out the students and sit by the ones who seemed to have the greatest mastery on the subject.So social skills become a necessity when one is unable to figure things out for themselves.
You must have some brains. Enough to do what you did. I don't think too many people would even realize that they needed to compensate like you did. Well done.
Who has it harder, smart people or stupid people?

I think you described it really well.:) I agree completely.
This + a lot of smart people lack in the looks department which makes it extra hard to date.
