The curse of the high IQ is that statistically you wont find a lot in common with the average Joe. Too bad just deal with it. Get married and raise children. Go to church. Spend time in your local library. Volunteer at a local CSA (community supported agriculture). Take long walks. Go hiking. Ride a mountain bike in the woods. Go to the gym and lift weights. But dont spend your life online and staring at computer screens.

Why not? This is a very dogmatic take on how to spend ones time. People enjoy different things, if you enjoy spending time behind a screen, go for it.
I don't enjoy my time online, I just dread change more than I dread living a dull life
I don't see a problem with spending time in front of a screen, and would much rather do that than do pretty much anything you mentioned.

Some things, like spending time in nature are nice once in a while, but there's no nature near where I live, and even if there was I'm often not in the mood to go.
