People are sharing the moment the man they were dating was stupid, and I’m actually crying with laughter
We’ve asked members of the BuzzFeed community several times to share the dumbest thing someone they know has said. And many of them shared the dumbest things their boyfriends or husbands said, so here are the funniest:
1. “My first boyfriend thought women’s breasts swelled like men’s penises during sex.”

2. “We were talking about dinosaurs and he was surprised to hear that they were real. Then he asked me if they really breathed fire. He thought dinosaurs and dragons were the same thing.”

3. “I dated a guy who once asked me why I ‘use so much toilet paper’ when I come to his apartment. I asked him to elaborate on what that meant, and he wanted to know if I didn’t need to wipe every time and if I was vain. I had to inform him that women should wipe every time they pee.”

4. “An ex-boyfriend of mine, when we were together, looked deeply confused when I told him that a woman couldn’t get pregnant through oral sex. He was 27 or 28 at the time.”

6. “I was in the hospital, and my boyfriend at the time sent me a text with a picture of an ear of corn that he had just peeled and asked if it had gone bad because it was yellow. He thought it had turned yellow from cooking. He was 40!”

He took my hand away and said, ‘You don’t need that size.’ I was surprised that he was trying to tell me what kind of tampon I needed based on the size. The tampon size you get is based on the amount of your flow. I married her, and it was the biggest mistake of my life.”
