My girlfriend and I get along quite well and I love her more than anything in the world, but oftentimes I can't help but feel like shit because i'm inferior at almost everything. As a start, she's more attractive than I am. I'd say she's a 7-8 while it seems like I'm a 6 at best.
It doesn't help that she's also smarter and I get frustrated whenever she often beats me in competitive games that require mental proficiency like scrabble and chess. This tends to get really frustrating for me, because it seems like I've reached the limits of myself as a person.
I understand that I should stop complaining because she really does love me anyway, even if I'm like this, but it doesn't make me feel any less shitty about myself.

Use that shitty feeling to motivate yourself to practice at these things.
Learn chess theory. Opening strategy. Practicing one thing will make you better at others. It's all brain food. It takes time but you'll get smarter.
Besides taking games and shit seriously is boring as fuck. It's more fun to just mess around when you play games and have a good time.

If you want to really have fun with chess play a variant of it called Fischer 960 with her.
Also there are other things than chess that are brain food.
Math, logic puzzles, reasoning, 3D spatial reasoning.
Dentists take a test Called DAT. On the DAT there is a section called the perception test. Get good at that kinda stuff as well.
If you don't put work into these things you'll never get Better. It's hard
