“The saddest thing for a girl to do is dumb herself down for a guy.”
— Emma Watson
Simplified Meaning:
When a girl pretends to be less smart than she really is just to please a boy, it's a very sad situation. Imagine there's a girl who loves reading and is very good at solving puzzles. She meets a boy who doesn't like books and isn't interested in thinking deeply. If she starts pretending she doesn't enjoy reading and stops solving puzzles, just so the boy likes her more, she's not being true to herself. Instead of being happy, she might feel empty and frustrated because she's hiding who she really is. It's important for everyone to be themselves and not change for anyone else. People should like each other for who they really are, not for pretending to be someone they're not.
