Mothers. *sigh* I'm sure you looked perfectly fine. They just have a twisted sense of taste sometimes when it comes to appearances. And what's with all of these "at least she was just being honest" remarks? Propriety dictates that there are times when a person has to keep their trap shut about their opinion, regardless of how much it's meant. (And that is all the OP's mum was spouting, an opinion... not a hard fact.) Tactlessness, anyone?

Don't worry about it. Girls in swimsuits (or anything tight) are hot.

Heh, yeah, 53 has it right. I find women with wet hair to be incredibly hot, no matter how... overexerted they look at the moment.

I can imagine the rest of the conversation... ''Really, is it that bad'' ''Yup, you look like shit'' ''Damn I'm f***ed'' ''Sure are''

props to ur mom. thats really funny.

think about it this way, he thought you were cute even after a workout then when you class it up a bit and shower he should be blown away, right? ps, i can relate on the mom bit, mine's the same! hopefully you find it more funny in retrospect. :)

well i just got done with swim too, and i look like shit. everyone swims, and the guy prolly knows your a swimmer, and hes gotta know what people look like when they're done swimming. cause hey, guys dont always look that great when they're done either. so it probably doesnt matter to him at all. swimmers have some of the most amazing bodies out there, so i dont think ur appearance ONE day would bother him.

58; I second the amazing bodies bit... dayum.

Doesn't anybody realize how good it is to have somebody honest enough to tell you when you look bad? It may take you off guard and seem mean, but its better than being ignorant of it.

at least he still waved. and jesus... she didnt say that you look ugly all the time. she commented that you looked bad "right now" so stop being so obsessed with looks. stop being a whiny bitch. jesus NOT AN FML.
