I know what I posted seems superficial. But I would like to think the person who is going out with you finds you attractive. Why go out with someone who appears average to you??
She does find you attractive, or else she wouldn't be your gf. She might have been trying to say that while she finds you attractive (in my eyes you look good), she thinks that others would find you average, as you find yourself even.

Yeah right....then she'll dump him because he's a pussy...

and if she does he hasn't lost much! I think it better to be direct with people,that's the kind of offhand comment that can fester in somebody's mind for days, clearing the air has to be better than how he feels now.

Why? Because he was honest and communicated with her? What's wrong with him saying that her comment bothered him a little? Your testosterone soaked comment makes no sense. :p

Maybe but if someone is letting the fact that their GF/BF said they were average looking bother them then they probably have deeper issues they need to deal with. It's not like she said he was a pimple faced, butt ugly, monkey nosed, red assed, troll with B.O. that could kill an elephant.

We weren't there,we aren't privy t her voice tone or facial expression when she said it..the point is that it bothered him enough to post about it and post his pic, I think he needs to tell her how that made him feel.

Real men don't communicate they say "whatever biatch!" then go out drinking with their buds.

The whole thing seems silly and a bit whiny/needy to me. She obviously finds him attractive in some way or she wouldn't be with him in the first place. He needs, hell we all need, to stop over analyzing relationships and just enjoy the time he/we spend with his/our GF or BF.

You should have either pimp-slapped her or said "Yeah, I've heard that lots of people are average-looking." ;)

Definitely!!

If what she said has bothered you so much you should let her know. If you the roles had been reversed she probably would have gotten mad at you for saying it.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Guys fall in love with the women they are attacted to, while women become attracted to the men they are in love with ;)

That is true.

Also, I would rather someone loved me despite the way I looked rather than because of it. When you're older you'll still have what attracted her; if it was just the way you looked you'd lose that.

This is a classic. it also clearly shows the difference between men and women.

I posted something about objectifying women once and how men and women start off w/ basically different premises about physical appearence. You have to understand her statement in that context.

only recently have WHAT a man looks like become an issue w/ women and it's more cultural than it is natural. the natural inclination of women is to want to be around men that they feel comfortable around, not necessarily someone that is attractive.

men are basically the opposite. Women just don't find physical attractiveness as important as men do.

It's not like she said he was a pimple faced, butt ugly, monkey nosed, red assed, troll with B.O. that could kill an elephant.
That's what my girlfriend tells me, should I be worried?

Your mom is not your girlfriend.

Or your sister.

Although it might be your cousin, at least if you're luvya.
