This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff
Rochester, United States
Cultured
Today, I was telling my friends about a date I had recently that went badly, because the guy turned out to be a moron. I said the last straw was when I used the word "decipher" and was met with a blank stare. I was then met with more blank stares. FML

my friends and I have battles to see who can come up with the most words that start with a certain prefix, such as Trans.

I'm thinking you should choose smarter guys since you seem to have actual intelligence.

OP is intelligent because they know what 'decipher' means?

I am with OP. It is clear that not knowing what "decipher" means isn't the only reason the guy was a moron, but the last straw. Who wants to be with someone who doesn't read and you can't have a normal conversation with, without dumbing down your language? OP, you need smarter freinds!

41-- that is not necessarily a deal breaker. I dated a guy that was a genius when it came to science and math. He would be talking about all these theories he had, while I just politely smiled and nodded (I am smart, but I could not keep up with him). Meanwhile, I would have to define some words because he did not know the meaning. Or, the guy I am dating now is a first generation American. English was his second language. He doesn't have an accent and he speaks english fluently (you would not guess english is a second language), but there are some words that I have to define. I know he is just as intelligent as I, but I also know that him not knowing a word makes him any less intelligent. Maybe ops date has a reason.

Snob.

It doesn't mean OP is a snob. It means she is surrounded by people who don't know what a simple word as decipher means.

Don't ask me to be part of a diversion. I was never good at math.
