But My Ex Boyfriend’s / Husband’s New Girlfriend Is So Stupid!!

Astrology in real life

This occurred to me, disturbing things sometimes do. But I’m coming out with this because it’s the answer to an age old question intelligent women ask.

They break up with a man and by some hook or crook find out the man’s new woman is stupid. This is very common. It is happening to a friend of mine now and it has happened to me too.

I had one of my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend contact me when they broke up. I responded trying to help her out while still respecting his privacy and what I found out was she was just not that bright.

Even assuming she was inordinately attractive, it was almost painful for me trying to imagine him talking to her. I figured he must have been out of his gourd trying to put up with this woman, she just didn’t have the chops to match his. I pictured him with a headache trying to cope with being in a room with her and that was the end of that.

But then today it hit me, it’s like FISHING! If it is really important to you to have someone you can converse with and you find that, you hold on to it. But if you are primarily a fisherman then you let that fish go and catch another one, see what it’s like.

I hope this helps all you brainy women who have been dogged by this question. I think it is worth a trip to the tip jar, LOL!

My ex’s gf has a master’s degree, but I still think she’s stupid.

Why?

Because she’s 20 years older than I was when I fell for his bag of tricks, but she’s still making the same dumb moves I did, plus some new ones of her own.

fucking catch and release… I don’t fish anymore, tho I love it. everyone I know does catch and release. I want to eat the damned fish. my grandad was a prime fisherman. he either cooked them up or brought them home and put them in his pond, fed them all year, then relocated them in extreme backwoods streams that had gone fallow due to fires/whatnot. you’d get arrested now for doing that.

ANYway, this fish HATES catch and release relationships.

I like to look at it as karma…”You dumped me, and NOW look what you have to put up with…” LOL But, I totally see your point! Makes sense…

If an ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend called me re. the ex, I’d hang up. You’d have to be stupid to phone me and ask me for advice on an ex, ha ha

But why would the catch and release only happen to these women? And why would the fishermen always go after a smart one first and a dumb one second? (Is there a part of the pattern that I just don’t know about?)

fisherman don’t fish for a particular, individual fish. they catch what bites.

maybe they’re fishing for trout and if they catch a perch they immediately throw it back, but they’re not looking for a trout named Juliet: they’ll take Jennifer, Joan, or Jamie just as readily.

furiana – I think it’s random. In the case of the man I referenced, he would have definitely wanted a woman as smart as possible but even more important she be attractive.

So in this case, he picked who he picked and got what he got but I am sure he was dyin’ because she was like 10% as smart as he was, LOL.

The thing here is the sport and variety. I met all his standards as did the one before me and maybe some other too but the guys wants to fish, see? So the quality of the fish he catches is only important in the near term. Take your picture with it and then go back out in the boat!

My boyfriend’s OLD girlfriend is stupid. Then again, I have Mercury in Aquarius in the 8th, so…I say that about a lot of people. I’m bad. :/

I remember an old boyfriend’s ex…she thought I was stupid. I actually kind of was, must mostly rendered useless by the fact I was intimidated.
But…I think she was kind of a dimbulb herself. That whole crowd just watched TV and smoked pot all day…thought my interests were ridiculous.

I think they go for the opposite of what they had before, for a change. For example, one of my exes after dumping me fuckbuddied my friend who was a domestic goddess.

Or alternately, the guy decides he wants to be “in charge” of the relationship or be the one with the most brains.

ah, variety. that makes total sense. it looks good on a hunter’s trophy wall, as well. don’t want too many matching heads. people would think he can’t bring down anything! he’s got to have all different kinds of dear, elk, antelope… watch out for bear though; they’ll GITcha.

OH! I almost for GOT. MY ex-husband’s new wife has her Facebook status set as “Mrs. So-and-so, the best wife he ever had”.

Considering how he divorced me, I have to giggle. HARD. She’s in for a rough ride.

Also, I was wrong – it was MYSPACE, not FACEBOOK.

She’s 20, now. He’s 30. They have two kids. He’s pretty much NOT changed at all since the day -I- married him, when he was 21 and I was 20, myself.

luci, that’s hilarious. i was just thinking about this kind of thing the other day after i saw some pics on facebook involving an ex i dated for a looooong time. he and his buddies are still hanging out with 21 yr old girls doing the kind of stuff we did when we were 21 (also about 10 yrs ago). and i think, man i dodged a bullet there!

Well, when he left, I was devastated. But he still can’t keep a job and he’s still exactly the same and hasn’t changed. Except now he’s got two kids.

I feel sorry for him. Glad I got away, no matter how the whole divorce played out. :/

I think sometimes we feel stupid for having fallen for Mr. Whoever in the first place that when he meets someone new, we project our own sense of stupidity onto her.

That’s a good point, notatirem.

In my case I was just bored. The gal wrote me long flowery things that made me leave my body. She was less stupid than just not his type.

I also did not feel stupid for falling for him. I’d was happy with him a long time and would have married him. I don’t regret a minute of time I spent with him which is what I told her.

She wrote to see if he was back with me, see. She thought he had gone back to me and I thought it decent to email her back to reassure her he had not… and also that if he did contact me, I was not interested in re-engaging.

This just seemed like something one woman ought to do for another. If I did not answer, she’d be writhing around thinking about him back with me and that just was not real.

Truth be told, I think that most men are actually threatened by intelligent women. Stupid men are threatened because, well, duh, a woman smarter than they are, the horror- and intelligent men are threatened by the possibility that a woman could be smarter than they are. Dating dumb women is primarily an ego boost for them, but unfortunately, the poor dumb woman doesn’t realize that most of the time. So hearing about you, she actually believes she is just as intelligent as you are. I’ve only ever had that experience one time, dealing with a boyfriend’s dumb ex-girlfriend, but that was plenty.
