She was smart enough to not let the things she doesn’t understand drag her down. In reality, there’s not one single intelligence.

I used to hang out with a different kind of dumb person. He would watch a movie he didn’t understand but thought he did. Once i “flirted” for him with his ex girlfriend over text, because he wanted her back, but most of the time had no idea what she was talking about. She said she saw him today and he had a new haircut. I texted back: yeah they grew over my head (it’s a saying in german that means something is getting too much, but it also is a hair pun.) she laughed and i gave his phone back. He read it and didn’t understand it. Even if I explained it to him, he just didn’t understand what might be funny. So he texted her back: he also shaved his pubes. God bless his soul.

LMAO, I thought that was funny.
I guess this means I am also a dumb one.

Making a clever joke, and then following it up with a completely juvenile joke or dumb observation is also a valid strategy. Shows you can be smart but not aloof.
