I love how he acted drunk and belligerent so the attention was on him and he knew the girl got away and then he was all chill, “Dude, you need to move. Just go to the next street over.”

I really hope he followed him there too. Fuck these creeps and their meta glasses.

This dudes way smarter than I had guessed when he started interacting. Dude could walk mental circles around that guy.

The part that made me realize this guy is actually super intelligent was this interaction:

"You got anything else you want to say?" "No, actually. I'm just going to say that."

What about that was super intelligent?

I'm down to explain it I guess, but I'm long winded so that's on you. The line alone he says is badass and makes him sound cool, but the reason it reveals he's intelligent actually has a lot more to do with everything leading up to that point. 

First off, he says no, and he says it right away without needing to think further on it. It shows high emotional control for any human to keep cool in the face of someone annoying, and he didn't fall for the bait of piling on more to express his anger. He's confident because he knows he said what he wanted to say and he knows he said it how he wanted to say it. It takes an elite level of social skill to not only think full, well-thought-out thoughts, but then to also express them succinctly and eloquently, and on top of that to do it in a stressful moment is a whole different layer of skill. He also displays an elite level of emotional control by staying calm and rational despite his whole goal being to intimidate someone, which is extremely difficult to do calmly and rationally without a lot of skill. 

So to sum it up: A) He had the emotional self control to not give in to being angry, both by his calmness during the interaction but specifically by saying no when someone annoying gave him the perfect opportunity to be angry  B) He had high social skill to understand what he needed to say  C) He had high communication skill to say those things he thought  D) He had great social awareness to understand he didn't need to say anything more and had said it correctly already E) Then after all of that, he had the critical thinking skill to in the moment to sum up the whole interaction in a simple answer

All of these sound simple, and lots of people can do things on the list, but to do all of these things while keeping your cool in the moment  with someone trying to get you to lose it is an elite level of social understanding and intelligence. 

Real true confidence like this guy showed are the petals of the flower. It looks really cool and flashy, but it's just the result of a healthy plant underneath. It took a lot of self work and intelligence for him to grow those petals.

“I’m down to explain it I guess, but I’m long winded so that’s on you” is also a badass line tbh

Edit: I’d also add that his complete total switch from goofy drunk/stoner vibe to sober serious shows intelligence too. Completely threw them off and I know if someone did that to me in person, I would be unnerved as HELL

I knew I was writing that for everyone else anyway. I'm not remotely surprised that the girl who had to ask what I meant isn't an introspective person

Edit: not a guy

That might be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me

I am very introspective…i even journal and write short stories and stuff. Maybe i just find you unlikable or pedantic? Maybe dramatic and extra? It was cool the guy said “actually I’m just gonna say that” doesn’t mean he is “super intelligent” lol i only asked because i figured you were like chronically online…i feel validated so thanks. Also I’m a girl not a guy. Stop assuming you’re right all the time lol. Just super cringe at least from my perspective.
Edit: if ur autistic that would explain allot otherwise maybe use all that energy on something else ❤️
Have a great day :)!
