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

I'm sorry. That's your fault for dealing with it. If he can't deal with you being smart, you probably shouldn't be with him.

If you're with someone who is offended that you're smarties than him, you deserve it for putting up with his bull shit. No sympathy at all, this is entirely my fault.

Next he'll be upset that you can bear children and he can't.

Stuff that! Work those smarts, girl and if he can't deal with it then you shouldn't change yourself.

You're only wasting your time with him if he can't accept you for who you are, over the stereotype associated with your hair color. Never let yourself be made less by anyone based on their perceptions.

But who's stereotyping? Where does it say OP's hair colour?

Smart is sexy. However, A Ms. "Know-it-all/ I told you so", might not be. Don't play dumb (it's not fair to him or you). Just don't under mind him with sass. It's all in the way you speak. (:

If you're pretending to be stupid to make him feel better then yeah, you're dumb.
