Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were out shopping. As he was trying on shirts, I told him that the particular shirt he was wearing looked ugly. He turned around, sighed, and said "You think? Well, your face is ugly, but you don't see me complaining about it." He was serious. FML

Today, my boyfriend compared me to an unattractive actress. When I said it was sort of messed up to say that to me since she's not pretty, he said, "She's not as bad as you." FML

Today, I was hanging out with my boyfriend. Everything seemed to be going well, when all of a sudden he turned to look at me with a pensive and thoughtful expression. I expected him to say something important, but instead he just said, "I was wondering, how does it feel to be fat?" FML

Don't fish for compliments.

I don't see the problem here. He admitted that he likes you all the time, even at your lowest. Even though you think you look bad, either he doesn't or it doesn't matter to him. Either way, you win.

Maybe he suffers from coprophilia, and it was actually a compliment. Or not. :/

@ 22 I thought that was fishing for other people to sleep with. My mistake.

She wasn't necessarily fishing for compliments. Sometimes girls genuinely do feel really bad about their appearance and I think it's unfair that they often can't confide in people about it because they immediately get accused of "fishing for compliments".

So she can't even confide in her boyfriend about her worries over her appearance without being accused of fishing? She even seemed to appreciate the fact about him. Reverse the genders and no one would say the guy was fishing for compliments.

57- The way OP worded it made it sound like she was fishing for complements. If she had said "I don't feel pretty right now" maybe he would have assured her that she was pretty, but OP's boyfriend might have thought that she was, in fact, fishing for complements and gave her a smart answer.

I'm not sure if he misunderstood you or is just a dick. Hopefully the first.

No wait, it was sarcastic! I mean, no my account was hacked! Uh, I was really tired! My dog ate my homework? It depends on what your definition of "is" is? *Sigh* Ok, I'm busted. I AM human, and I do have a heart. Sorry to disappoint.

I would be interested hearing the boyfriend's explanation for his comment. Perhaps this is off base, but one interpretation of this situation is that the boyfriend's intent with that comment was not to agree that she looked "like shit", but rather, to dispute it and imply that the look she considered to be "like shit" was simply what he considered to be a more natural look. If this is the case, then yes, he worded it clumsily, but that doesn't mean he's a horrible boyfriend worthy of the condemnation in some of these comments.
