Today, I eavesdropped as my friend tried hinting to my crush that I like him. He replied, "Haha, eww. She looks like a fuckin' garden gnome." FML

My collection of sexy garden gnomes takes offense, and they're going to recruit garden gnomes everywhere for revenge. That boy might not make it out alive.

Damn people on fml are so nice. and here I was gonna say he has the right to not date someone he doesn't want to date.

Lol, of course he does, but there's a nicer way to say it. He was saying this to OP's friend in a public setting, so it was obvious his words had a big chance of getting back to her. Rejecting people is fine, but if you act like an asshole while doing it, don't be surprised when people think you're an ass.

Don't worry OP, just keep your chin up and move on :)

It's one thing to be turned off by it. It's quite another to say ew and call someone a garden gnome.

As somebody who has been through something similar, I do empathise. That shit stings. But to be fair, he's rude as hell. He could have at least been polite about the whole thing. Don't let it get you down, OP!

What, theres probably a guy who likes you and you would just say the same about him. Are people not allowed to have opinions?

Of course people are allowed to have opinions. But isn't it obvious that a hurtful opinion like that shouldn't be voiced? Especially when it's so likely that it'll get back to OP. There are probably guys who I personally would find repulsively unattractive but I would never voice that opinion.

Man, I hope you only liked him for looks and not personality... he sounds like a dick.

I think the sexist part #15 was referring to was when you said "especially women". I mean, we should respect everyone equally. That's probably what #15 meant.
