Today, I yet again had to pretend to be a dumb bimbo so that my boyfriend wouldn't get upset over the fact that, in some cases, I might be smarter than him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while arm wrestling with my boyfriend, I had to pretend he beat me. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend refer to me as a “pretty but dumb chick” because I like horror movies and comedies over his boring pseudo intellectual dramas. I literally have two degrees and I'm working on a third, while he has neither, yet he thinks he’s smarter than me because of movies. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted to subtly encouraging me to do stupid things because he finds my "bimbo moments" hilarious. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were in bed and I asked him why he was with me. His answer was, "Well, the last girl I dated was really smart and she always made me feel dumb, so I decided to switch things up a bit. You make me feel like a genius, babe." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML
Today, after a tiff with my boyfriend, I said to him, "You could at least PRETEND to love me sometimes." He responded with, "I do pretend to love you!" FML
Today, while talking to my boyfriend, he got upset and accused me of making up words to make him feel stupid. All because I used the word "vapid." FML
Today, I told my crush I liked him. Instead of rejecting me or telling me that he might have felt similar, he decided to pretend to be dumb and clueless and just kept asking who my crush was. I found out later that he knew all along but he just wanted to ragebait me. FML
Today, I was trying to convince my boyfriend that I am NOT a dumb blonde. After screaming at the top of my lungs, I tripped over a bin and hit my head on a wall. FML
Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

Why degrade yourself OP? Intelligence is sexy.

Tell him to just deal with it, don't pretend to be dumb.

YDI for actually doing that. That's just a bit embarrassing.

Maybe she is a bimbo and actually not that smart for staying with him and putting herself in that position.

You shouldn't ever have to change yourself to be with a man you should be loved and adored for exactly whom you are

Is your boyfriend 7 years old?

Why are you changing who you are just to be with a guy? YDI for being controlled.

He should be proud to have a smart girl. Isn't that what guys like?

Some guys like girls who aren't threatening to them in any way. They have to be less intelligent than him, make less money, be less emotionally stable, and have fewer future prospects before he feels comfortable being with her. The only reason he IS with her is because she's an ego booster. To all the guys like that (and you don't know who you are, because your narcissism has blinded you), stop thinking life is a story and you're the main character, or at least get with the times and realize it's the 21st Century.

Dump him and find someone who can appreciate you for who you are, including your intelligence.

I think it's time your boyfriend grows up and stops getting upset over something so petty.

Again? That shouldn't have happened in the first place. Boyfriend needs to grow up and realize that having a smart girlfriend is a good thing asap. Smart is the new (and improved) sexy. As long as it's not the "I told you so" every other sentence variety.

I say ditch him. If he's too insecure to be with an intelligent person, then his loss. You shouldn't have to sacrifice for him.

My friend called me a ditsy blonde, and when I showed him I'm actually smart and it's an act he got pissed at me. Same with me beating him in video games.
