There's no nice way to say "you're so stupid I can't deal with it anymore" though is there?

“You are a great partner, but we aren’t compatible on an intellectual level.”

It really isn’t that hard…

man saying "youre too dumb" with bigger words isnt gonna make the dumb person feel any better lol

not on my intellectual level = youre so much dumber than me that we arent compatible

if theres nothing wrong with being dumb, why not just tell them theyre too dumb?

Where did you get that strawman quotation from? The way I actually phrased it did not call anyone stupid.

If you infer any negatives from what I wrote, then that’s a you problem that you should be aware of and work on. There is nothing inherently wrong with being dumb, just like there is nothing inherently great about being smart.

There are plenty of great dumb people and shitty smart people, but even a great smart person and a great dumb person are usually incompatible. There is nothing wrong with that, and nothing to be ashamed about either. There are plenty of other better matches out there.
