Yes, yes. That's why he constantly has friends, is invited onto numerous teams, and dates scads of amazingly attractive women.
This hasn't been true since the early 70's. Writers tend to hide it well, equating bad luck and life circumstances with lack of social skills. But really, he's like the most respected hero in the MU. Even Cap, though potentially more inspiring, is way more polarizing and socially inept in various situations.

Beast looks like an Orangutan Catman and still picks up babes.
And he does get invited to join teams
Hank creates amazing gadgets on the fly.

He never said beast doesn't, but that those things prove that Peter does have social skills.
And Spidey invents crazy gadgets too, post some of beast feats or at least cite issues so we can compare.
I'm actually curious in what gets shown on both sides.
Hank's smarter. Probably Him, reed, pym, tchalla, stark, banner, amadeus and probably one of the x-club would be among the top 10 heroic minds in earth mu (barring the villains of course cause dr. doom will shit over half on the list). Pete's great but he hasn't matched any of them yet.
However Peter's financial troubles, heroic career oversaturating his daily routines, jobs, etc should also be factored in. He has potential but he has never been able to reach his peak yet.
That's all seem to be changing now that the myriad of inventions he seemed to be pouring out (including parker particles lol).

Well that might be true, some femme's who have been smithen by him seemed to have some background deeling with oddities like brand....or they fancy bestiality.
Pete has social skills but his uncle-guilt issues prevent him from taking it easy for a prolonged moment of time and concentrating on getting some piece of ***. Heck doesn't even have to try some times and gets sexual tension 90% of the time from his co-female supporting cast.

IMO the only thing keeping Parker from mentioned with the likes of Stark & company is his lack of resources. If he had regular access to the equipment Stark & Reed have he'd be right up there.
If you give Hank & Pete access to the same resources, I say Pete wins the battle of the brains.
