Well, other than the 15% discount on my Geico auto policy, I don't find many uses for my Mensa membership. An IQ is just a number and my freak talent is taking tests... Go ahead & join, it doesn't hurt anything. Please don't expect any great social networking, though. Think about it: one 6' tall redheaded former model standing amidst foot shufflers at two Mensa meetings. Yes, I gave it two chances, because I try not to make the same mistake three times.

I qualified for admission, but after discussing it with a member of the *ahem* local (60 miles away) chapter, I decided it didn’t sound interesting enough to supplant time with my family. (Heh. I just remembered my nic says roughly the same thing. Guess I mean it!) ;-)

I'm a member of Mensa, although I've been completely inactive for more than a decade. From what I've seen, Mensa is nothing more than a self-indulgent, self-perpetuating ego boost for intellectual snobs. I have nothing in common with them and don't have anything to do with them. As Max Arliss said in the previous answer, IQ is just a number. It's a random "blessing". Just because I wear a size 11 shoe doesn't mean I want to join a club for people who wear a size 11 shoe!

I've been a member of Mensa for the past 30 years or so, and I have met both my former and my current husband through the club. I used to be very active, but since moving to this area, I don't find that I have as much in common with the members as I did in my previous locations. Hubby and I both used to be officers in the club and very active at both the local and the National level, but we have found other interests in the last few years.

The only Mensa member I've ever met was a guy my mother dated once. He was one strange dude and really made me uncomfortable. So I've never had much desire to join.
