We killed it? Your question, frankly, indicates that you are an elitist with little respect for accomplishments of others outside of academic success. You say “People need to get smarter.” I say that some people are inherently smarter than others or are born into an environoment where academic success is encouraged more and therefore perform at higher standards. I’m not about to suggest that people are only smart because they work hard, because frankly, I know plenty of people who work extremely hard in high school, yet do not perform as well as other more gifted students. My high school is extremely diverse and has some of the lowest test scores in the county, and I still find that I fit in just fine and get along very well with my peers.

My advice for your dating and friend problems? Drop your attitude. I don’t think your community is the issue. Be modest, humble, and appreciate the accomplishments and efforts others put in to whatever activities they partake in. I doubt you will find a better dating life outside of some of the more elitist and pretentious universities, which I feel MIT is not.
