Some women have horrible body issues that prevent them from taking a compliment. Clearly this girl is one of them and she'll be a headache for as long as she's in your life. I've been there; you have to walk on eggshells all the time because if you should make any comment that she can twist into a negative one - and she can twist just about any comment into a negative one - you'll have to deal with almost daily emotional breakdowns. She probably needs counseling, medication or both. You probably need a new girlfriend. If the girl has strong, toned legs and he compared them to a horse's legs there's nothing wrong with that; but what she heard and what he said were too different things. He said "you have toned, strong legs like a horse." She heard "You're a huge hairy beast." This is because she has PROBLEMS.

YDI for saying she has horse legs. Also YDI for dating a whiny and depressed girl. Here's a tip, you should listen to why she is depressed and then say something. ;)

lmfaoooooo next girl I see, I'm going to compare her to a horse.

I don't really see why she didn't take it as a compliment, horses have beautiful legs. And sexy, strong hooves.

Wow... at least you meant well. I hope she knows that.

Ok the chicks that are saying you make them sick are drama queens. However, are you a dumbass? Yes. Common sense 101 - when trying to make a girlfriend feel better, compliment her face, eyes, hair, voice, etc. If you're going to compare her to an animal (there are better options out there to begin with, but for the OPs sake) choose something elegant or peaceful i.e. A swan. Or just lay and cuddle with her like people already said. Or put her favorite cutsie movie in for you two to watch. Or offer to give her a massage. Pull a blancket or something over you two (maybe a little above your waist and let her decide where to move it from there) to make things more cozy. Let her fall asleep in your arms. DON'T compare her to a horse!

LOL, not the smartest thing to say... but people need to learn the difference between "you deserve it" and "it was your own fault"

It's a moot argument because it isn't real. He stole it from "A Knight's Tale", the comment about the woman's legs being as strong as a horse. C'mon people, you're giving the loser power here.

She might have been mad about being compared to an animal, or she might have thought he said her legs look like a ****** which it does sound like if you say it fast.

Sometimes, we just make comments that we can't ever get back. I feel for you, bro.
