Probably not. If OP was attractive,he would have known it was a joke and this wouldn't be a FML.

My mother calls me attractive and good-looking all the time. We both know she lies.

#2, no one can actually "know" they're truly attractive or not, so uncertainty is the cause of this FML. Obviously the father was joking, because if OP was ugly, that would mean that either OP got it from his father OR the woman his father married.

I feel like you'd be more likely to know if you were ugly rather than attractive.

Plot twist..... OP is actually a girl............

"The apple didn't fall too far from the tree! Right, dad?"

OP is a boy

Right. The father already called his son ugly. His father could've called him a girl. #1minutewastedexplainingajoke

There isn't actually a gender symbol (at least for me there isn't). This would be so much worse if OP were actually a girl!

It doesn't state what gender the OP is (not for me anyway). When I first read it I thought OP was a girl since that would make it far more of a FML. Most guys I know wouldn't care about being called ugly by another guy and would just reply with a similar remark. Then again, most guys could be really sensitive to being called ugly and the ones I know are the exception...

"my ugly SON"

You seem very naive.

Everybody is sooooo sesnsitive these days.... oh gosh its wittle feelings were hurt..

How to my appearances equal my decisions? I certainly did not decide to have a lion's mane for hair!

Then you can decide to shave off the lion mane. Again, your appearance = your decisions. :-)

I was wondering about that

Exactly what I thought. So much worse if Op is a girl!

wow... seriously?
