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

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.

Why stay with someone when you have to pretend to be someone you're not? Just a thought...

You deserve better, but staying with someone like that makes you stupid in some respects.

You sound weird. 1) Why give up on educating your boyfriend 2) Why pretend you're wrong? Do you have no self respect? My boyfriend is close to being a genius, and at the beginning of our relationship he often insisted on being right on close to everything (he wasn't a very social person). At some point I surpassed him in biology and he only had it at a high school level. He would often turn things around so it should seem that we were at least both right. I decided to discuss this matter with him and explained that I dislike what he's doing and that he should accept that he can't know everything - else I would have a hard time being with him. He changed and doesn't act like a bad looser anymore. Sometimes it DEFINITELY IS good to try to change people, you know :)

Good for you! Not only have you made your relationship a lot stronger, you've taught your boyfriend an important lifelong lesson!

Never hide the real you to suit someone else. So what if you possess intelligence and he doesn't? If you've got it, flaunt it.

You need a new boyfriend. He doesn't really care about you if he isn't mature enough to accept your intelligence.

Why would you do something like that? Now that in itself is dumb. I mean if your boyfriend is going to act like that because you are smarter than him then yeah there is definitely something wrong there but you are allowing and enabling that behavior. Shoot I look for smart women. And if they are smarter than me then shoot I'm very happy cause that means I can learn from them as well as them learning from me. Relationships are supposed to be about making each other better right?

That fact that you do this just to have a bf proves you really are that stupid.
