Welp, I got dumped again…

I have been dating a really smart girl for the past few weeks. She’s like one of those people that can figure out a 15% tip without using a calculator and understands how ships made of steel can still float.
I found myself trying to say smart things or do stuff that smart people do which more often than not backfired. It really started to make me feel bad about myself. I put so much pressure on myself to overcompensate in other areas that I was “unable to perform” Saturday night if you know what I mean. Sure, I may have drank too much but that’s no excuse. I’ve been able to deliver in much worse condition in the past.
Anyhow, this got me to thinking. There might be some unintended consequences of Clemson raising its academic standards. We don’t need our football stars worrying about impressing dates with algebra or reading novels like The Great Gatsby instead of just watching the movies. The staff should be organizing mixers with schools like Tri-County, Anderson or SWU. Heck, I would even be OK with our players dating girls that attend schools like Georgia or USC to make them feel better about themselves.
The last thing we need is a player getting dumped in the middle of the season because some girl says she is afraid going out on four dates with him made her feel dumber, hypothetically of course.

I have it on good authority that Dabo and the staff read TigerNet, so hopefully I’m helping the team by raising awareness of the pitfalls of dating smart women.

Just be yourself. If she doesn't like you the way you are then you surely don't want to spend the rest of your life with her.

Wow, sounds like you're really struggling to keep up with this girl's brainpower. Don't worry though, you're not alone. I once tried to impress a smart girl by reciting the digits of pi, but it turns out she was more interested in a different type of pie...
She's now with Betty Gaines, a girl she said she knew well and sometimes hated...
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Just forget all that, and give me the number if you can find it.
So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show...I've overcome the blow, learned to take it well, only wish my words could just convince myself that it just wasn't real.
But that's not the way it feels...

A girl's perspective for you. I never dumped a guy for trying too hard to impress me. Don't lose your confidence. That's the biggest turn off. I never dumped a guy for not being as smart as me, few are, lol! I never dumped a guy for underperforming, once, lol! Get back on your sadle. Buckle up. Just be your charming self and the right girl who appreciates you for who you are will come along.

Your overcompensation is a weakness. Instead focus more on The Great Gatsby.

Most girls who date football players are not dating them for their brain.

Always surround yourself with people who are smarter than you are. Especially in business. However, in dating and marriage it does not matter and has no bearing on your success. Every woman thus far created is going to boss you around and tell you what to do for the rest of your life, whether she is a Rhodes Scholar or a Fence Post. It is who they are and what they do.

Hey man just a bit of advice if you’re not completely lying about everything for comedy.
I can realize when one of my friends, no disrespect to him but I have always been smarter and we know it, he’s done a lot of things that just came off weird and too confrontational that may have been him trying to appear on the same level when around me.
I can tell when he or someone does this. They may prop themselves up by telling a little fib, or debate over something they only have an opinion on and try to back it up. It just comes across as you caring too much about what they think, and it will make them feel like you’re sucking up to them. No one wants to be sucked up to, even if you’re smart.
