You guys are great. If I was broken up about this at all, I'd feel much better from a lot of the comments. I'd been flirting with this guy for a while, and this was the coldest he'd ever been to me. He met my friend that very night and wanted to get laid is all. But joke's on him--the friend's engaged! As for the whole maybe my friend told the joke better thing, it's not the kind of joke that needs a bunch of buildup and then a big punchline. It was more of a sarcastic comment-type thing. She didn't tell it any better than I did.

I think situations like this have happened to most people. As bad as it may seem in the moment, you'll eventually realize you don't want to be with someone who is so superficial anyways. Eventually you will find someone who will laugh at your jokes because they care about YOU, and not just because of your looks. :)
What a jerk. I Dislike people that are like that!
All the people saying he is a douche or superficial are the real douches here. Where's the rule that says someone is forced to like someone that likes them? I've liked some girls that didn't like me, big ******* deal. I didn't like some girls that liked me, big ******* deal again. And who said that there's that much of a difference in appearance? Maybe he just doesn't like her personality. We are probably missing some of the story anyway. I think we all know that women over exaggerate everything and leave stuff out when telling stories.
40 - I was prepared to thumb you up. I fully supported your position . . . but then you made a generalization about women . . . and you lost my kingdom. I am fairly confident that the grand majority of us are prone to exaggeration (see!). It is not just the women. And it is nothing to be ashamed about, either.
Just because you don't like someone back the way they do doesn't mean you have to be rude or impolite to them? Just common maners. Also agree with #43 on the "all women exaggerate"-part.
51 - you're right, one should be polite anyway. If it seems pretty clear that someone likes me and I don't like them back, I usually talk to them when we're alone and tell them that I am not interested in them so that I don't mislead them. I think that better than giving them the cold shoulder to convey the same thing. But eventually almost all of us will be rude to someone who likes us, whether intentional or not, even if we have no right to be.
Girls do it to guys all the time, except more frequently
All in the punchline. Some people are better at saying jokes than others. Don't worry, someone will find you entertaining. Probably not your crush, though.

Well now you know they are superficial and not worth your time. You can find better.
