My boyfriend's like really smart. He's just one of those people who love to learn and soak up information like a sponge. We're both very different. I love math, he hates it. He loves philosophy, ethics, writing, i hate it.
But unlike me, even though he doesn't like math, he still soaks up the information. I hate philosophy, english, etc, and I just SUCK at it. My boyfriend is just ... really smart. And I'm jealous.
And he doesn't like to go to school unless it's a challenge. If the class is super easy, he'll slack and get a bad grade. But if the class challenges him to think, he'll work hard and excel. I'm opposite again. I like to learn only things that are in my interest. And, I like to take blow-off classes and just get the good easy grades. I die and stress out too much in hard classes.
Not only this, but he can do well in other things. Like sports, and music. ESPECIALLY sports and music. I suck at both too. T____T

Sometimes, I just feel STUPID talking to him. Haha, I know he doesn't mean to make me feel this way, but like I can't help it. In the back of my mind, I envy him, I really wish I was smart and soak up information like him. Blech ... Whenever we have intellectual arguments about like ... theories or something, I always lose. ==;;

So I don't need advice on how to handle it. lol.
I just wanted to know, if any other couples felt this way. x]

[Savageponies]

Hmm I think aslong as he doesn't put down your intellect then you should just be proud that you have such an intelligent boy ^___^ wonderful smart guys aren't always the easiest to come by~

[ny-sw / ny_sw.]

Hahaha. I hate feeling stupid, so I always avoid guys that are smarter than me.
I feel that way with a lot of my guy friends. like. this one kid intellectually-ninja-ed me into a lot of things, ahahaha. and I'd always lose.
It's good that he doesn't rub it in, ahaha. I haaaated having stupid boyfriends and having to tutor them all the time (I don't mind helping them out on occasion, but, seriously, every test?) so.. enjoy it, loll.

[AngelsWhisper]

He's really smart too, especially in math, but he hates writing. idk he's just good at almost everything: sports, school, socializing, you name it. But he skips school too much =( but he always have things turned around somehow. I don't know how he does it, but I sometimes get jealous^^; His calm intelligent inspires me though^^ which is why I feel a lot more motivated in school now xD

[xspringrollsx]

I say its a good thing, having different interests says you can learn from each other. You can teach him things he doesn't know and you could do the same thing? Instead of feeling stupid, I guess you could see it in a positive way and learn from it.

[meiming8]

I feel stupid all the time with my s/o! But then again, I couldn't be with someone who is less intelligent than I am, it's just a personal preference. Both my current boyfriend and my ex were top of their old schools. Even though I get upset sometimes because I feel like so dumb around him, it just makes me work harder to try to catch up!

[__laine]

Sometimes I do feel stupid around him. When we're talking about something, I gotta double check my sources in case it's wrong cuz I don't want to look dumb hahah. We're the same major too so we end up having the same classes... he studies for 2 days and I study for wayy longer and we both get the same grade D: But I did get a higher grade than him on a paper lol.

But I don't mind. I wouldn't want someone stupid.

[jaeka]

I feel kinda stupid when my boyfriend pulls out his report, and it's just A A A A A A .. haha. xD But I'm blessed with an intelligent guy, what all girls love. (: He teaches me things when I don't understand them and he doesn't really, brag about his intelligence. xD

[JiHye]

Hah, welcome to my world. My hubby is a philo/econ major and I'm an Eng Lit major who hates classics, which he likes, so he's always quoting things from Dante's Inferno or talking about some kind of super ego and whatnot...@_@ I like smart guys so this is a plus for me, but sometimes he does leave me in the dust.

[sixth.]

with my ex, i would always find myself feeling really, really stupid. he's in his final year of law school, honours grad, a tutor at university and all his assignments/exam results are close to perfect - but he can still go out every friday and saturday night to party. he always acted dumb, though.

[allineedx]

My ex used to make me feel really dumb haha. Him and I were complete opposites as well. I'm an artist, he was into chem and engineer. But he would always talk about his classes and complain when he got an A-. meanwhile, I'm a straight B student. It was so annoying because I felt like he was putting me down when he kept whining that he was "failing" with an A-. He knew he was super smart, afterall he went to a magnet school. He just liked to hear me say it.

[to.dance]

Haha, I was in the exact same position as you, but with one of my big crushes~
He was the English type while I was more of the science & maths freak..
& I sat next to him in English.. gosh I felt so stupid and inferior to him
Haha but we both accepted our different areas.. I made him feel stupid in maths & science
I felt so stupid I thought I didn't have a chance with him and never told him I liked him

[Swtess]

Yep I know how you feel. My bf is not only intelligent, he's very articulate as well; which is something I lack terribly. So you can imagine when we have any kind of fights. He pulls his logic, I pull whatever tidbits right out of my ass for the sake of 'winning.' Sigh....at least more of the time the arguments are just for fun

Wow, my boyfriend sounds exactly like yours, especially the part about being good math, sports, and socializing.
I do feel dumber in comparison but we do try to help each other in things the other is weaker at, for example, he helps
me with math/science related work, and I correct his english/grammar lol

[evans]

sometimes i wish my boyfriend were more like yours, i mean he is intelligent and all, but he just prefers not to go find out more about stuff and that sometimes ends up with me always telling him something like 'eh you know blablablablabla' or if i start talking about something, then he'll sometimes go 'i totally have no idea what you are talking about.' quite sad though i love him anyways. but yeah, you can learn from your guy too! and you'll find that you know more things than you'll know if you weren't together with him? i mean for me it's much more interesting if i have a guy who can challenge me mentally and debate with me on issues. (:

i think its great that he doesn't put you down too !

[HaplessChild]

It happens sometimes but then for all of his book smarts sometimes there are just things that require experience that I have and he doesn't. We balance that out fairly well. That and when I need the boost I just whoop tail in Tetris and I feel fine again.

[Meenuh]

No.. can't say i've ever felt that way before. I'm more into philosophy and what not but I absolutely hate math. I'm positive he's better at math than I am but we don't really have any conversations regarding math anyways. Lol. Well, except maybe when I need to caculate something in my head i'll give him this look like "help me?". Haha. Ugh. I don't know how I am so horrible at math.. it's mind boggling. Could be the fact that I never payed attention in class and english has always been an easy subject for me.

I think a lot of the times I make him feel kind of .. for lack of a better word, dumb. He'll use words that aren't supposed to be used. They sound EXACTLY like the word he meant to use so i'll correct him. This happens pretty often but I think it's cute.

[_Kelly]

YES. I FEEL THIS WAY ALSO. Personally, I don't think I'm stupid, maybe a bit dumb sometimes, because i don't have much knowledge about everything unlike my boyfriend who somehow knows things that he doesn't need to know. I go to school and i do good in classes, that's because i think my teachers are easy-graders, i am not smart, okay? I'm not good with words, sentences, vocabulary, etc. Math isn't my thing, Science gives me a headache, the only thing I'm DECENT in is probably Social Studies, U.S Govt. stuff. I can't handle money things; economic-wise. I'm undecisive. My boyfriend hasn't been in school for awhile, he's not stupid he's just lazy and doesn't wake up for classes; i know that's not a smart decision, but you know, he's like one of those that are naturally smart. He took his GED recently and got accepted to a good college. He has a WAY better SAT score than me, and somehow LEARNS things quick. While i have been in school, getting education, and do poorly on my SATs.

He's there to correct me on my grammar and vocabulary, he's like my personal dictionary. When i use to talk to him on AIM, i had to have dictionary.com ready and open, in case he uses a big word. He helps me and teaches me, I've learned so much from him, he tries to not make me feel dumb sometimes, and i'm okay with it.

[-_-]

My SO is a lot smarter than me. When had classes together, we would always compare scores and since he was an overachiever who always aimed for the perfect score, I felt dumb in comparison to him. But that was before we got together..what's nice is that doesn't have an ego about it.. he's very humble and downplays his intelligence. Overall his intelligence is something I love so much about him. He also comes in handy when I need to know something but can't look it up. Hehe.

[The Pink Panda]

I think my bf and I are quite evenly matched in this respect, which is nice because I like talking to someone who can actually follow my train of thought.
