Today, I overheard the guy I like talking to one of his friends about me. His friend asked if he and I were dating, to which he replied, "No way, dude. I have standards." FML

I think it's a bit hypocritical to call him a jerk. And I'm a girl. I know we'd say the same type of things about a guy we find unpleasant. We don't know who these people are. Maybe he is a nice guy who genuinely dislikes her as a person or maybe he is a shallow douche. We can't tell. At least he was not saying that to her face but to a friend with no idea that she was eavesdropping. Either way OP, it sure is a blow for you. Time to move on.

I think the reason why the stereotypes exist is because men are often thought to be mainly interested in a women's physical attributes above anything else . So people assume , oh that guy rejected that girl , probably because he didn't find her physically attractive, not really questioning if she has a god awful personality on top of it . Great comment btw!

The saying holds true that females mature earlier than males, and perhaps OP's friend is still at that age where he deems outward appearances outweigh other virtues that wiser men value highly. The best kind of retribution in this situation is to move on, and become the person whom he will later regret having lost.

I had a friend like that once. We thought it was absolutely crazy thatd we would ever be thought of as a couple. And then we dated. And then married. If he is your friend, he may just be acting mean so he wont break your heart. It really just pays to talk to him in private.

OP, If I was in your place I'd end up tapping his shoulder, smiling sweetly and saying " And I'm way above them, right sweetheart?" Finish it off with a wink and walk away feeling absolutely awesome. BUT since this has been posted on FML, and I get the feeling that you didn't retort, You need to smile, be confident and make him realise that you actually are way outta his league. You go girl :D

He's just a dick. Ignore him because you can do better. (like a few people said already)

The good news is that you can quit wasting your time pursuing him -- you now know definitively that he is not interested in you. Move on. To all the people who have said the guy was an "asshole," "jerk," etc.: You do realize that you are insulting the OP yet again. You are saying that she has bad taste in selecting men. Let's grow up, here, not everyone is going to like everyone who likes them. Once you stop obsessing over someone who is obviously not going return your affection, the sooner you can find someone who does. That's good advice from someone who wasted lots of time in hopeless causes.

It has nothing to do with obligation to return everyone's affection. It is the fact he is a shallow twit who doesn't comprehend real relationships. Yeah, ok.. have fun lusting after people you wanna screw over and over. That is not love, that is finding sex objects. People are far too shallow because looks end up fading.. Oh wait... then you get a divorce and find a new **** buddy,right?

#50, it's just as likely that the OP is a "shallow twit" in that she selected him based on superficial lust.

At least now you can go after someone who will actually care for you:)
