Agree, your humor does not match. I would have come back at you with another quip and enjoy light hearted back and forth. Now you know that she does not. So you will act accordingly. I am curious as to where you each are from. With my northeast friends we can banter back and forth, light heartedly. It has been my experience generally that people from other regions don’t appreciate sarcasm and that type of banter so it doesn’t happen with them.

That’s the thing though, she usually gives it back to me.

How is essentially calling someone stupid a joke?
Even without her reaction it wasn’t even funny.

For her to react the way she did - may signal that you and her may be a bit incompatible.

Well technically she didn’t ask but I started laughing and said “woah , don’t say that about yourself”

Wow life gave you lemons and you went ahead and squeezed them in your eyes.

Here's how to fix things:

"Babe, I want to apologize for my joke the other day. I was an idiot. You're one of the smartest people I've ever met, which is why I thought it would be funny to joke about you reading those. I'm the dumb one, I even said print publications when you said you were watching the news, how stupid is that. I don't think you're an airhead, and I'm sorry I implied that you were calling yourself an airhead. Thank you for telling me this bothered you. I promise I will not make jokes at your expense in the future, but if I do screw up, please let me know". AND THEN DONT MAKE THOSE JOKES AGAIN. Seriously, it's not cute or funny to make fun of people once you're over the age of, like, 5.

Bonus: you'll get some fantastic makeup sex within a couple days, guaranteed.

In short, she doesn’t have very good girl game and that won’t change any time soon. I would end it if it were me because I personally don’t think the schoolmarmy, stick-up-the-butt attitude is attractive.

So, because OP insinuated that she’s an idiot his girlfriend should just laugh along, otherwise she’s “uptight”.

Women who have backbones = uptight. Got it.

People have lost their ability to communicate. Prior pp was right, men tease women they like. It doesn’t mean he really thought that’s what she was doing. In fact he most likely thought the exact opposite.

In your shoes op, I’d take it as a red flag. A relationship without humor is challenging.

We know men tease women they like. That doesn’t mean we have to find humor in teasing that comes across as insulting.

I replied with, “oh what news? TMZ, National inquirer, Star magazine?” and I started laughing. She paused, and said, “you must think I’m an airhead or not particularly bright for you to assume I read such low brow things as my source of news. I don’t appreciate it and don’t do that again”. In my defense I know she is into celebrity gossip. Heck, she’ll even ask me once in awhile if I want to hear the gossip of the day.

I think she was being petty. Thoughts?
