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

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

FYL because you have to act that way with him. YDI for staying with him. Dump him and go with someone who actually likes you for who you are, not for what they want you to be,

And you're doing this, why?? Find someone more mature. You shouldn't be making yourself look dumb to nurture a fragile ego.

**** him. If he can't deal with you being smarter than him he's just a jackass, and maybe you need to find someone else to who that certain factor doesn't matter.

I agree with every other comment here, if he can't accept you for who you are then he's not worth it

Well, more like a circle inside another circle. It's not like that's the ONLY type of guy you don't want to date.

You are not doing yourself any favors, and you will resent him soon enough. So do yourself a favor and ditch him now. You can do so much better.

Why date someone who expects u to be dumb & how long do you think you can keep up the act?

Why are you with him? If you have to pretend to be someone you're not to be with this guy then you are with the wrong person.

Why be with someone that you have to dumb yourself down? Why not be with someone who challenges you?
