Hmm... Smarter than us... I dunno, I ranked #14 in my STATE for the graduation test, beating most of the "smart" people that I knew in my school. MY GPA was on average around 3.5.
As to defending myself... I already took out the captain of the football team at my school when I attended it, you don't have to be big or smart to knock the tar out of someone...
And I agree with Kerm, use of good grammar indicates some level of your intelligence, and looking back at your post, well, I think it speaks for itself.
And last but not least, a girlfriend. My occupation is not all that appealing to women right now, since there are no set hours, and no definite times to be able to spend with said woman, so they are not as apt to want me as the guy that will be home by 5.
I am also not a geek, I program calculators for a hobby, keeps me away from other bad things that I could be doing.
