I'm sorry, but I have to disagree wit this part. I fail to see how saying you are doing "well" makes you appear more intelligent than saying you are doing "good". That comes off as a bit pompous.
The only context I can think of where 'well' fits better than 'good' would be in making the statement 'You (seem to be)/(look like you are) doing well." But you could put 'pretty good' in place of 'well'.
Depending on how you word your sentence, 'good' can be just as proper as 'fine' or 'well'.
