*Updated - My wife's sister just told me that I am less intelligent than her husband.

[Saint Nick]

It must be true if you're this worked up about it? I'd take the advice of the first reply in this thread and 1) not care and 2) move on with my life.

 

[Jaskalas]

Preferably your wife would be pissed off and put her Sister in her place.

 

[sigurros81]

1. If you're a real man, why do you care. I mean, who gives a shit what the opinion of one chick is.

2. She sounds like a bitch to even bring that shit up, and if anything, she's probably saying that to get back at her sister in some way because women are caddy and competitive with each other, especially siblings.

3. She could very well be correct, consider killing yourself. God forbid there are smarter people than you out there.

"Well, he can't be more intelligent if he married you..."

 

[terry107]

Throw a solved Rubik's Cube in her face and yell, "Who's smart now bitch!"

Subtlety is overrated.

 

[edro]

What is his doctorate in?

If you are in any form of engineering, you are far more intelligent than any Doctorate of Arts degree holder.

The best real life advice is to tune her ignorant ass out, like everyone else in the family does . . . but that's no fun, so:

Every time she comes into the room, give a sudden start and complain loudly about the overbearing stale fish odor, followed closely by you saying, "Oh, HI, <insert her name here.>"

Force the issue. In front of everyone else, ask her pointedly if she feels good about getting drunk and making ignorant statements like, "You're not as smart as my husband." Press the point! But, do so in a vein of wide-eyed innocence. Keep asking her if she blames the alcohol or if she's just generally ignorant. Ask her what she plans to do about her social ignorance problem. Never let up. Never, I say, NEVER!

Spill whatever liquid you have in your possession all over her on every single occasion you get. Apologize each time with overbearing insistence, following her around and serio-comically begging her forgiveness, even as you spill more liquid on her.

Every time you meet, greet her faux enthusiastically but call her by the wrong name . . . a different wrong name each and every time, finally segueing into colorful ethnic names like LaKeesha and Esmerelda.

When others in the family attempt to remonstrate with you, tell them all it's just you being you!

 

[momeNt]

It was a statement made when she was drunk but I'm not one that excuses nonsense like this because of alcohol.

In vino, veritas. Huge bitch, but also hugely insecure with the fact that you must express a lot more innately masculine traits and just look more alpha than her husband. She resents this and tries to use her husbands doctorate to bring your alpha status down.

She's upset she's married to a limpdick beta and wants to fuck you.

You work out right? This would prove my assumption true.

 

[CPA]

slap the bitch

 

[Mr. Lennon]

OP needs to provide more details.

 

[Murloc]

you can't confront her now about it, it would make you look weak and prone to more verbal abuse because you've been mulling over it for days.
Some people are just assholes. Just ignore her like the family does, she's known for this right?
you don't need her approval.

next time, have a witty answer ready so she'll have to shut up, nothing offensive of course, maybe this way she'll see that you're intelligent and get some more respect (because when she said that, she probably meant it). If you can't, well.....

 

[Zebo]

How about never live up to anyones expectations only yours you have set for yourself. You won't worry about what ppl say. I've been called everything in the book and just flows off me like rain on a duck. Quack quack. I'm smart as duck at least.

 

[slayer202]

option one but substitute in the word wise and beautiful woman

You realize that if he does this eventually she will stab him with a fork at a family dinner.

 

[alkemyst]

I'd say you validated her belief with this post.

 

[Daverino]

I have a doctorate from Columbia too, so I find it hard to disagree with her. Life is cruel that way sometimes.

 

[SSSnail]

Fuck her

ITB? That's the only way.

 

[Lemon law]

Intelligence is subjective and is not proved by diplomas. Your brother in law may be able to do some things you can't, but on the other hand you probably can do a lot of things your brother in law can't.

As for me, I would just forget it, your brother in law may not be such a bad guy and find ways to help your brother in law as your best reward.

 

[mnewsham]

ITB? That's the only way.

obviously :sneaky:

 

[Kelvrick]

obviously :sneaky:

Then comment that its like a hot dog down a hallway?

 

[dust]

Tell her its better than riding the coattails of her husband and to make you a sandwich.

Certainly this! While she's at it, I want one too!

 

[Phokus]

Why in the hell are you even upset at this OP.

 

[Zargon]

Then comment that its like a hot dog down a hallway?

i prefer to use brat down a subway tunnel so not as to unsult the size of my weiner

atleast thats the reason I give for the analogy



OP: grow up and get the fuck over it, if you dont learn to now you have a long shitty road ahead


whats dudes phd in? I have an uncle who spent my brothers phd grad get together bragging that his kid has his phd too, and I asked him how a doctorate in musical performance compared to one in Chemical Engineering from MIT, and he STFU

being more clever would help, if he has some wimpy ass phd make fun of it, it will drive her nuts. my FIL has a doctorate in education and pimps that shit out, its fun to make snarky comments about it when he gets annoying

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

Don't argue with drunks.
