Winning in the IQ department is one of the least benefitial victories to get compared to other like height, face and even dick size for a simple reason: nobody can see your IQ.
When I was in high school, I remember exams were turbo easy for me, barely studied for them and destroyed them all without breaking a sweat. But nobody admired me for it, and some people even thought I studied hard because, in their reality, they and their friends had to study hard to pass.
I remember I did a particularly easy math test (math was the easiest subject for me because I didn't need to study data, just understand the process) and finished in no time, I took a book out of my bag and started to read. The teacher got mad and scolded me because I was "disrespecting" the rest of the class with that action. And I was confused because I didn't even think about flexing, just wanted to read because I was done with the test and I wasn't going to wait by watching at the ceiling.
I was not good with social skills and I was not good at sports either, which are arguably the 2 most important skills to have in high school; but I was good at the only thing barely anobdy cared about: easily getting good marks.
Maybe it was because I didn't struggle with it, but other people didn't struggle doing sports or being very social yet I never heard anyone tell to them something along the lines of: "you are making the other kids feel bad". Flexing physical superiority = good, flexing intellectual superiority = bad.
Even now, you might be reading this thread and you might be thinking: woah, what a pompous guy. That's exactly what I mean.
