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

Real men don't communicate they say "whatever biatch!" then go out drinking with their buds.
;)
LOL, sad but true. I don't know if i'd say real men do it, but a lot of guys do.

 

Quit whining, Clocker. Whining makes you ugly. You should be grateful that your gf at least said you were average looking because that's a compliment. If I saw you, I would probably say you were ugly. So, go make dinner for your gf and thank her for being nice to you, for she may have rescued you from the truth. :Q LOL! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to sound sassy. I just wanted to pull your legs a bit.

But seriously, my motto is: be as candid as possible. She was being honest with you, although I have not seen your pic (as your link isn't working). To be average looking is actually a good thing when you think of how many ugly people we have in this world.

Hey, she probably bothered to tell you the average looking statement because she thought that it was not nice of you to say that the pet was average looking.

Okay, another good thing: You actually get to know that your gf sees beyond your appearance and found something in you that was worth it. Besides, who's to say that she isn't average looking too? ;)

I have to admit, I too would be a bit upset by the comment.

One of my good female friends is madly in love with her man; so much that they're planning on getting married next year. Over lunch she told me he was "average looking". I've never met this man, so I can't provide any comments to the contrary.

Personally, I've never been with a woman that I didn't feel was beautiful. Relative to society's aesthetic standards, I can acknowledge that the women I've been with were probably not universally beautiful (although it pains me to do so).

I also have to admit that I find beautiful aesthetic qualities in most women, and very rarely acknowledge any as being "average" or less than "average".

It's a proven fact that women care very little about the appearance of the male counterpart. They look for other characteristics such intelligence, personality, spirituality, and your net worth.

That's what my girlfriend tells me, should I be worried?

Your mom is not your girlfriend.

Or your sister.
It really doesn't matter, they all tell me the same thing.

I think everybody here including the original poster has completely missed what's going on here. I could be wrong, but I'd bet by bippy that what happened was that your girlfriend, Clocker, was giving you a message. Ever hear the expression, "Judge not that you be not judged"? Well if you have you're not practicing it, apparently. People are nervous around judgmental people because they don't like being treated casually and compared like meat in a butcher shop. You judges those dogs callously and without heart and your girlfriend saw herself under your microscope. Oh, it's not that critical people don't flock together like vultures to make community fun of others, it's happening to you right in this thread. that's why you're so anxious to bail out of it. You're over it right. Hehe. I don't think so. Your girlfriend may be a lot more sensitive than you are. She may have seen great beauty in those dogs and found your observation of how they measure up shallow and cold and potentially applicable to her. You needed a wake-up call.

Since people have such a hard time knowing what they feel, her message was relayed unconsciously. In turn you may actually prefer to think of yourself as average looking than judgmental. Time to stop and try to analyze your behavior. Maybe you will want to talk about those dogs again with her and see if she finds something about you intimidating. Her own poor self image may make her oversensitive to any type of exposure to physical criticism, even of a nearby dog.

And don't forget that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That means ugly is too. If you really look deep into this you will discover that all the beauty you will ever see is not out there, but what out there stimulates within. And all the ugliness there is, is just our own too.

"Oh my beloved, wherever I look it, appears to be thou."


One big problem with people is that they are incapable of handling a critical remark,

Uh-oh! It appears that someone isn't reading, really! *[Gently tapping Moonbeam:]* Look this direction: "Hey, she probably bothered to tell you the average looking statement because she thought that it was not nice of you to say that the pet was average looking."

*Ahem!* ;)

Hehe, luvly, and to think I tried to read the women even more carefully since I figured the chances higher there. I remember every thing in your post but that and the next line. I failed, but I don't read too good anyway. Hehe. I think you are right. I find it a bit shocking too to think so few pick up on that, I would have thought, obvious inference.

I can only aspire to be average looking. I scare children.
I am, most probably, the least attractive human being on the planet.

But, you don't see me whining about it. Oh wait.
