Today, I was snuggling in bed with my girlfriend. She was depressed, so I complimented her strong legs, saying they were "like a horse." I spent the next hour and a half trying to stop her crying. FML

Dude, some advice; if you EVER compare your girlfriend to an animal, make sure it isn't a huge animal that could be considered an indirect way of calling her fat. And even then, you're taking a big risk. When she's depressed, don't say much. Let her talk. She'll talk herself through it, all she needs is someone to listen to her and hold her. Someone who cares.

Maybe it would be a better idea to just snuggle with her and no stupid comments. If my girlfriend was depressed, I'd kiss her neck and tell her I love her and make her smile and laugh. :) But nice try. :P

Well, I don't know if I would have cried over it, but I think I would have been stunned speechless if someone told me I had "strong legs like a horse". Really man, there's quite a plethora of generic compliments to choose from. Just go with "Your hair smells so nice." next time. And don't compare her to barn animals.

You couldn't find anything better to say ? Nothing about her hair, clothes, etc. ? Horse legs was all you could think of .. nice job.

I'd call it more of a gross generalization myself :P My boyfriend is very graceful (rock climber) and I tell him so, but I don't tell him he's like a lovely gazelle >_>

Such typographical skill. I'm just going to assume you are bound and gagged in front of your computer and are forced to peck away at the keys with your nose. It's just less painful that way.

FYL because of course she would take your compliment on the worst way possible.

Ugh. Wow, that's actually kind of stupid. Why do girls have to be that way? Isn't it enough that you mean well and you're trying to be nice to her? "Oh no, it has to be the perfect compliment" Lol, I guess I am being a little insensitive myself. After all, she was depressed… I honestly would have loved that sort of compliment, but it seems like you have a GF who doesn't see that sort of stuff as 'good'. Girls are touchier than guys, so if next time you feel like complimenting her, try something less original to start. The standard stuff like complimenting facial features or hair (hair is a good one) with words like "pretty" "stunning" and other crap like that works on the general populace of girls, and it's best if you have a delicate girlfriend to stick to the basics and then see what you can get away with after a while of that. But not when she's upset; when she's upset, use the generic stuff.
