Beloved, I read your story, and I don't see how it contradicts my question. I have a similar story myself, but I'm not going to post it here.

The problem here is stereotyping. People tend to assume that a person can't simultaneously have high intelligence and social skills. The two qualities are independent of one another, and it is definitely true, probability-wise, that it is more likely for a person to have one refined than both. However, it does not rule out the possibility that a person can possess both.

Detail and explanation-wise .. Froz and eos summed it up (thanks - I suck at this). When I replied, the key thing I was countering was the statement/implication that it's non-existent. Although I think I did a decent job of proving that it does exist. Take note of the time lines, though. Elementary to highschool it's less acceptable. Beyond that, it starts to get better as people mature up. Each age range has a different level of maturity, which is where Eos' explanation comes in. There's so many factors that determine the outcome of a relationship. It doesn't necessarily have to be you, acting all smartass & purposely showing off because sometimes it's just people taking something the wrong way. Then one thing after another, it just snowballs into an avalanche. Which, in my case, would be more true. But for your sake, I think I will retract a sentence with bad wording. You're right that it's not socially unacceptable - which makes me a hypocrite. The proper statement would be that it's mostly socially unacceptable.
