Is sarcasm sign of a high intelligence or a sign of being an obnoxious person?

well let me say this i myself happen to have hemiplegia - Spastic - Cerebral - Palsy with Neurological - Neurological - Cognitive - CoExisting - intellectual impairments - & Disabilities. i figured i would tell you about my disability since it ties into the question i started dating when i turned 28 years old , & ever since i have started dating all i tend to come across is women who are just plan clueless on how to actually speak to a man or anyone for that matter so i will answer the Posted question by asking a question that will ultimately answer the posted question do you think it’s rude or Nasty or obnoxious or sarcastic when i attempt to chat with a woman because i happen to find her attractive , & i want to get to know her , and she realizes that i am disabled , & she just outright tells me that she doesn’t date a man that is disabled , ‘ when she learns what kind of work i did the woman then turns to me , & says Oh you don’t make enough money to take care of me , & this actually happens all the time. to be honest 1 woman i was talking to once she found out that i was Disabled , & she found out how much my monthly income was she actually told me that she couldn’t date me cause i was Disabled, & the 2 nd reason she gave was because she claimed that i couldn’t support her , & this kind of situation happens more often to a disabled man then you might think i have spoken to women who have explained to me that i was not on their level , & they had explained to me that they couldn’t date me because i couldn’t support them , & i didn’t make enough money to take care of them but in the same breath they asked me for money so that they could put Groceries in their refrigerator i have had women tell me that they would see me if i could put food in their refrigerator, &. lay their Electic , & Cell Bill so you tell me , & explain why women are like this , & i do know that not all women are like this but a vast majority think exactly this way , & to prove my point all you have to do is scroll through Social Media , & look at the Comments, & Actual posts , & conversations that women actually post on various social media applications so hopefully all the men , and women who read the Posted Question , & my actual personal written Example can help me with understanding why the majority but not all women seem to be very sarcastic , & entitled to be treated a certain way why do women seem to get a pass when it comes to being sarcastic, & why does society give them a pass even their fellow Gender? please someone explain

Depends on the type of sarcasm. If they're more creative with it like how Ryan Reynolds is then it could be an indicator of higher intelligence. But other than that, I'm not sure if we can link the two very closely. And also most people probably don't like sarcasm unless it's not directed towards any weaknesses they might have.

[AmandaYVR]

I think it's neither, particularly. It just indicates a certain bent to a personality. Certain types or aspects of sense of humour do correlate to intelligence, but sarcasm isn't one of them. I'd just call it a semi-dark (like, grey, not black) sense of humour. You're right, though--they can be obnoxious when they do it often or at inopportune times. They tend to think they're more clever than they are, sometimes.

[WhiteSandyBeach]

Since stupid people can't understand sarcasm, I'll let you be the judge of that.

Why are guys so shitty at simple math?

Smart guys loved this, and the tards hated me.

[dynamicyandere]

I’d say it’s independent from intelligence.


There are some very intelligent people who enjoy using sarcasm, wit, and satire to make great well-articulated points.


And there are also… Not-so-intelligent people who try to use sarcasm but their points are poorly executed and aren’t articulated well, yet they act smug and superior and arrogant.

[loveslongnails]

Only if it's done correctly! LOL Sarcasm is a very misused word however, in America. True sarcasm has the intention of cutting, being harmful and causing pain to it's receiver. It employs elements of humor, irony, mockery, and a fair amount of sardonic bitterness. Using the above and having it work properly isn't as easy as it sounds.

Often times people make facetious comments with a bit of cynicism mixed in, but that's not really sarcasm. If you can master the art of sarcasm, you're at least somewhat intelligent!!

[Still-alive]

Yeah ill say it depends on when its used. Like if we are already joking around or the situation isn’t so serious its fine and can be a sign of intelligence, but if its very serious it can be a bit tactless or obnoxious yeah. Gotta read the room first y’know lol. Im saying this as a guy who loves to joke around often.

[SweetSouthernGal]

High intelligence.

You have to BE intelligent to be capable of understanding authentic sarcasm. By authentic I mean the subtle backhanded insulting of European & British sarcasm not the nonsense - rude, ignorant, demeaning comments - Americans call sarcasm in desperation to seem smart.

[caring__1]

Sarcasm is an attempt to put oneself above others by pushing them down. That obviously isn't a sign of intelligence. Some people claim they have a sarcastic sense of humor, yet sarcasm is not humor, as someone is always hurt by what is said. Never legitimize sarcasm.

ROFL

[Evananswersquestions]

It depends sarcasm can be a very bug sign of ignorance but it definitely isn't a sign of intelligence. Saracsm in my mind is a technique best used for humor but sparingly because it is often a very contrarian point and can be considered teasing, which if continued can feel like moking or bullying.

[DaySpring]

I've been told sarcasm is a repelling personality trait and I'd have to agree with that.

[davado88]

id guess thats because saracastic people call you on your bullshit.
for example noone ever told you that you lied just now

[DaySpring]

@davado88 Just my opinion. All love.

[Grond21]

Neither. It could be one of those options, or it could be someone who is defensive, someone who feels insecure and unable to be vulnerable, someone who is backbiting, someone who appreciates dry humor, or any other number of things.

[Levin]

'tis the foundation of my English humour...

[Siri137]

High intelligence for sure. I use sarcasm a lot, so that has to be true.

[Robzei]

I mean I guess it is a mix of both, takes intelligence to be quick witted and know when to use sarcasm to full effect

[davado88]

everyone here heard the saying that sarcasm is the lowest form of humour.
and are trying to make a thing of it.
But thats absurd
I absolutely love sarcastic people theyre hirarious

[BLP11520]

A little of both actually cause they believe that they are superior to others

[davado88]

because they are

“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.”

”Brevity is the soul of wit.”

[Masterodd]

90% of the time it's a obnoxious person, but sometimes... they might be trying to see if you have a witty comeback just for fun. :)

[spartan55]

I couldn't live without it.

[Landofifireandice]

Sarcasm is not a trait of someone who is intelligence sarcasm is the sign of the untelligence the. People who lack intelligence

[Suckmydry]

I guess it depends on the specific instance.

[jahaims]

Those aren't mutually exclusive

[msc545]

Possibly both.

[AviatorTom]

Could be either, depends on the situation.
