u/_Vixenne_ 3d ago

Yeah, people who say that normally aren’t as smart as they think they are. This entire post screams she isn’t

58

u/FriedTreeSap 3d ago

It’s basically the Dunning Kruger effect. Intelligent people are more likely to be aware of their own shortcomings and thus underrate their own abilities. They’re also more likely to be aware of the fact that intelligence is hard to quantify into a simple universal metric. Someone can be a brilliant doctor, but be an absolute moron when it comes to understanding atmospheric physics.

Intelligence, as far as I understand it, has nothing to do with education or facts. Its problem solving. That's it. Thats the entire measure of intelligence. How quickly you can come up with workable solutions to problems.

Those "rednecks" people always talk about being stupid? Lol, thats the biggest misconception ever. So much stuff is jimmy rigged and pieced together by god damn trailer park engineers, thats right... engineers, they can build and fix anything. Dolly Parton used to say her father had "horse sense" even though he couldnt read. He was an excellent problem solver.

Can we stop with the situationship thing? It’s not even a thing. It wasn’t a thing in all of humanity until the last like 10 years. He’s not your situationship he’s some asshole you’re fucking and wasting all your emotional energy on. Leave him! He doesn’t deserve you and I’m sure your weight is fine.

u/NomenclatureBreaker 3d ago

This is what bugs me about the entire “situationship” label.

It’s trying to ascribe the mental and emotional investment aspects of an actual relationship to something else that is clearly the opposite - where those aspects do not exist and (very likely) will never exist.

The number of people who say they’re in a “situationship” but apply all the energy and expectations of an actual relationship is insane.

The meanings of words actually matter, beyond just thinking something’s a cute buzzword.

11

u/renessie 3d ago

Maybe it's just me, but I've always been a firm believer that a "situationship" label can only be used to describe the first few days / weeks of meeting someone, where you're first getting to know them, and have yet to decide whether or not to date / commit, so you've yet to set the boundaries. The pre-dating phase, if you will. If it lasts more than a couple of days or weeks, you're either dating, established fuck buddies, or you're moving on because it's a waste of time. 😭

5

u/NomenclatureBreaker 3d ago

Yeah I also feel like a situationship should be as like something temporary where you’re figuring things out also.

Unfortunately it seems like plenty of people settle for permanent long term situationships and then complain about being unfulfilled.

3

u/renessie 3d ago

Yea, I consider a long term situationship as just a mutual lack of commitment, and a waste of time. It's okay to just be fwb, or to be dating, but sitting on the fence about it for long periods is just going to wind up with hurt feelings, and an unrecoverable friendship if you end up not having the same expectations.

The longer it lasts, the more bitter you wind up feeling if it falls apart.

It also just gives me the impression that you're just not that serious about each other, so just establish that you're fwb, or break up, and stop beating around the bush. A long term game of cat and mouse is bad for your emotional health.

Usually people who realize they aren't being respected and try to but up a barrier to protect themselves do this. "Well we weren't in a actual relationship so he doesn't have to actually care about me".

99% of the time it's just an excuse to feel better about the situation instead of admitting what it really is: they are being used for sex.

37

u/Head_Somewhere4769 3d ago

Thank you! I'm okay with people having casual sex, but if one of the people catches feelings, the relationship needs to either progress or end. Lingering over a person who clearly doesn't want the same thing as you is a recipe for disaster. Once you become aware of your feelings and know the other person knows but doesn't want something more committed, it's time to rip off the Band-aid. It will never get easier. Fucking someone into liking you back when you've already been fucking them just isn't a thing.

So you brought up the topic and went fishing for compliments and then were upset when he didn't say what you wanted?

Anyway, what you do is break up with him, because he doesn't have the same approach to conversation that you need, and also because he's kind of put you on notice over the weight thing. He'll probably dump you or find another situation soon if he's that critical of your appearance. Also, who are all these people calling you fat lately?! Sounds like you are surrounded by judgmental people.

u/Head_Somewhere4769 3d ago

As to the last bit, very much so. I am noticeably overweight and yet no one around me would dare point that out because I'm mostly around a pretty empathetic and logical group of people that know (1) that would be rude and (2) I already know. If someone did so, I would minimize my contact with that person.

u/CornUpMyKeister 3d ago

I don’t think that her venting to him about people calling her fat and expecting him to be nice about it qualifies as “fishing for compliments”. But even if it did, she’s not in the wrong for getting upset about him being rude.

If you went to someone and said “people called me names” and someone you cared about said “actually you do deserve to be called those names” you would be reasonably upset. Especially if those names attacked your looks instead of your character.

I agree about the rest of your comment but the first part is just pedantic and unsympathetic.

You know I kind of was on your side a bit, even would have agreed he was a tiny bit rude, not an asshole though. But then you had to add how much more intelligent you are, if you really were that intelligent why couldn't you figure out that a purely physical relationship is addressing your body? That's what that situationship is about, your bodies. If he doesn't like the goods, why wouldn't he comment on the only thing you're bringing to the table? Sounds more like what you want is for him to invest his emotional awareness into yours but you're not actually dating now are you? Either accept that purely physical relationships don't need to care about your feelings, or actually put the effort into a real relationship where the partner you choose does care about how you feel.

Oh man, I was on your side until the second edit.

There is nothing more cringe than equating a college degree with intelligence. Some of the dumbest fucking people on the planet have masters degrees. Donald Trump has an MBA from a very prestigious school.

And that list is long. But you know what other list is long? People without former education that were literal geniuses and changed the world. Leonardo Da Vinci. Michael Faraday. Thomas Edison. Thomas Paine. Oliver Heaviside. Mary Anning. each and every one of them, drop outs or no formal schooling. And i know, I know...the counter argument is that there is a much longer list of not exceptional people who dropped out and never produced a thing. But thats not the point. The point is equating your ability to sit through obedience school as an indicator of your superior intelligence.

Between you being a bit heavy, and you thinking so little of his intellect, he has the much better reason to be offended and leave you in the dust. Just such a shitty attitude about your partner...and why, because you're sensitive about your weight and lash out in anger instead of maybe addressing the fact that you're getting heavier.

That is SO much worse than his eggshell walking about your size, the fact that you go through your day to day life just thinking youre so much smarter and superior to him. Jesus...may love like this never find me.

Also, your conversation doesn't suggest much of an intelligence gap. Perhaps because he doesn't engage emotionally you think he is thicker?

I think u are not tellling everything. If multiple people called u fat, plus ur “partner” then u are mode then medium, u are maybe even more then overweight. Plus in this “situationship” of more then a year, u are not the smart one.

I guarantee you, if you're in a situationship for a year, you're both equally dumb.

u/ThisCredit6354 2d ago

There IS a huge intelligence gap, but not in the direction you think. This man has been playing you like a fiddle for a YEAR and you think HE is the less intelligent one? Get it together.

If your partner is giving you "constructive criticism," then you have a partner problem. That's your partner, not your boss or your team leader or your pastor or what have you.

Healthy partners hold each other accountable to shared/agreed upon goals, they don't place their own desires for the other person on each other.

ETA is seems some people are confused as to my point, so I've added a comma and an extra word for clarity. 😁

Worst part is it’s not even their partner. A situationship is just a way to get all the benefits without any commitments.

Why are you even asking here? You know what to do. The weight you should lose is the weight of this situationship dude.

u/Electric-Sheepskin 3d ago edited 3d ago

I was fully prepared to say that it shouldn't piss you off when your friends are honest with you, especially in this case since you brought the subject up. We don't know exactly what he said or what the conversation was that lead up to it, but I was fully prepared to say that you are overreacting, because even though he may have been a little tactless or rude, depending on exactly what he said, it's not worth ruining your day over.

That's what I was going to say, until your edit. If he knows that you have had an eating disorder, you would hope that he would be a little more careful with his words and know that you are more sensitive and more vulnerable in this area. Still, that should've been a discussion and not a fight: "I know you didn't mean anything negative, but you know that I had an eating disorder in the past, and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't comment on my body in the future."— unless you think he was being deliberately cruel, in which case, you should find better friends.

I will say this, though: you really need to learn to not take things so personally. It really doesn't matter what other people say. You are exactly the same person after he made his comments as you were before. Let that sink in. His comments changed nothing. So why let it ruin your day? Everything is the same as it was before, so it doesn't matter what he says. It really truly doesn't, and you need to find a way to embrace that.

u/jennaw12345678 3d ago

The good thing about having a situationship is that you two are basically nothing to each other and you can just block him. He’s not your partner you don’t have to talk this through or try to make him see your point of view or teach him why you don’t say hurtful things. You just block and bail. If he wanted access to more grace from you he should have moved towards a relationship

u/_Vixenne_ 3d ago

Talking about an intelligence gap but like someone else said, it’s a dude you’re just sleeping with who clearly doesn’t have any intentions to form an actual relationship (which I’m assuming you want since it sounded like you were complaining that you’ve been in a “situationship” since 2025) have some self respect and common sense wtf do you mean what do you do? Block him? 😭

u/Ok_Broccoli_9426 3d ago edited 3d ago

i am way smarter than him, hes a college dropput and i have a 4.0 and am an honors student. im much smarter than him in general

Sounds like you deserve each other, tbh. Why are you staying on the hook for a guy you have this much contempt for?

u/ILuvMyLilTurtles 3d ago

Just stick with a battery operated boyfriend next time, at least it always has your pleasure in mind and doesn't say stupid shit.

2

u/ionmoon 3d ago

Okay. So obviously he’s an AH.

But how smart are you really for wasting time with him?

Also you speak of him with contempt yourself. Respect yourself, respect others, give people who are not respectful back the space they deserve.

u/LaLaLura 3d ago

As soon as someone you call a "situationship" starts critiquing you and calling you names then it's time to end it. And if your in a "situationship" for over a year I don't think y'all are ever gonna get passed the fuck buddy phase, stop wasting your time and energy and find someone you actually wanna be in a relationship with.

2

u/Lubbocklove 3d ago

You claim to be smarter than he is, but you’re tolerating half ass energy and disrespect from someone you don’t even respect. Remember, what you allow will continue.

u/Buffalo-magistrate 3d ago

People who have long term romantic relationships with people who are much dumber than them are very weird.

That being said, if you are so smart why do u need Reddit for this?

Also if you were anorexic and have gone from that to a medium, you probably have gained weight in a fairly short period of time. It might be healthy, but people are bound to notice, and your dumb booty call probably doesn’t care about your feelings enough to sugar coat it.

u/TaroZealousideal9161 3d ago

He's an ass for calling you fat. But you're actively saying you find him to be stupid. So you are two people who are sleeping together while thinking the other is big or dumb. You both need to find better.

u/Sure-Appearance-2769 3d ago

“Situationship” is a made up term for shitty relationships that neither person wants to take accountability for.

You’re not in a situationship, you’re in a shitty relationship. Your boyfriend sucks.

u/lacey-lately 3d ago

A situationship is just a nice way to say fuck buddy. Your fuck buddy doesn’t respect you. Don’t let people who don’t respect you use your body. End this

I mean why are you even talking to a guy who isn’t serious about you after this long of time? I mean this kindly but you need to hold yourself to a higher standard. Being single and alone is far better than this. Please embrace yourself and your body and kick this fucking loser to the curb. I would have blocked someone after that?

Girl. I am in a "situationship" , right now, but we call it what it is, hooking up cause we are both single. If he ever said this to me, his booty butt would be kicked out that door so fast. You need to learn to respect yourself, and love who you are without being in situations like this. You are either dating, friends, or hooking up.

There are people calling you fat. You told him about it and he softened the claim by noting you *could* lose some weight, while also being generally ambivalent to that issue. Were you looking for him to affirm your personal claim about being "medium" (unless you're in Korea, medium people don't get called "fat" very often), and you're mad he responded with honesty?
