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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Get a smarter boyfriend who respects you, you idiot

Don't insult yourself like that, OP. If your boyfriend gets upset when you are being nothing more than yourself, it's time to tell him to get over it or else you'll be looking for someone else who actually respects you.

I used to do this. Until I realized that I'm a genius, unlike you peasants.

I don't know why but dumb bimbos are a turn on to me, also to be a bimbo you gotta be hot, otherwise you'd just be a smart ugly woman, or an ugly smart woman, I forget.

Obviously you're not that smart if you think this is a good idea and a relationship worth staying in. I'm guessing dumbing yourself down is not much of an act. That or you have no self respect. YDI for being dumb enough to do this. Any time you pretend to be someone you're not, the relationship will fail.

One of my exes used to say he was smarter than me. And he was a dumbass! If anything he's just insulting your intelligence! And if you play along with it. So are you! :-/ x
