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

If he acts like a woman dump his ass. You don't have to dumb yourself down just to make him feel good.

Why pretend to be something your not just to help his ego?

I'm afraid that makes you dumb, dear. Ditch that dodo

I agree with everyone else about dumping him. Don't bother acting stupid-- act your actual intelligence, whatever it may be. You'll probably have a much better time either alone or with someone who appreciates your actual qualities. I, personally, am put off by dumb, airheaded girls, and would much rather be with someone who is intelligent and rational. (I've never been in a relationship, and probably never will be, so this is hypothetical.) I really do hope you are as intelligent as you say.

If you are in fact smarter than him, show it by DUMPING HIM! Any intelligence you have over him is nullified by your still being with him and putting up with his bruised ego.

No, you are a dumb bimbo. You'd have to be to sit there and complain about how a guy treats you and still stay with him. No one feels sorry for you.
