Comment on Why Are Nerds Unpopular, An Alternative To PG's Essayparent

>So are you saying that that's not actually the case, that smart people aren't disproportionately unpopular?

That's been my experience.

Not to say there were no unpopular smart kids, but I never noticed a higher percentage than dumb kids. Though even then most of the smart people I knew who were unpopular globally were popular locally (that is within what ever group they ran with).
