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 of over a year and I were discussing how neither of us is the other's usual "type". I explained that I usually go for insular asshole types and then asked him what made me different from his usual choices. He said "Oh, well, I usually go for the attractive ones." FML

Nice dude

Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He's smart, attractive, and has a steady job. Imagine my surprise when he accepted. Then imagine my surprise when he followed up with, "Hah, just kidding. You're fucking BORING!" FML

Clever mate. Admit all you wanted is him to say you are nice smart etc etc too. Well it is obvious he is clever, what a witty response!

the girlfriend's self-deprecating act is annoying, but the boyfriend's comeback was an asshole thing to say whether he was joking or not.

I'm sure he was just teasing you. A lot of guys seem to get annoyed when girls are insecure like that. At least that's how my bf is.
