A few tips on how to act in a way to pretend to be more intelligent than you really are:
Wear glasses. They add around 10 IQ points. Try to be bald. It makes people think your ideas just burst out of your head dragging the hair with them. In a discussion, pretend to listen and understand other people's points of view. I know it's hard, particularly with women but do not be afraid of sentences such as: "Amazing! She wore the same shoes that night too. Wow!" At every opportunity claim to have read something in a book. For example, "It's interesting, [interlocutor's name], because I remember a similar point of view in Plato's masterpiece Timaeus." (Let's face it, no-one alive has read Timaeus, so whatever you say others will believe you.) Pretend to be have a side-interest in some cultural activity like music, writing, etc. No-one will ever ask you to play, say, the harp, but you can claim it as a relaxing hobby. If someone actually asks you to play the harp, excuse yourself due to an annoying tendinitis from too much practise. Develop your communication skills. Learn how to write properly and how to speak to an audience. In other words, do not behave like Mike Tyson or a rap star. Do not claim to be descendant from aliens. Avoid sentences such as: "I don't give a shit what you think. My parents back in Andromeda never told me I needed glasses."
