Wow, thanks Gramps!

Today, I met my boyfriend's grandparents for the first time. When my boyfriend introduced us, his grandfather smiled at me, took my hand, and said in the most polite voice, "Wow, you're not nearly as pretty as he described you." FML

Wait, what if he meant it as a compliment..? :p

I read that in kind of a, "You're prettier than he said" way.

Take it as a complement! Your bf clearly adores you and thinks your pretty and tells people that. It shouldn't matter what his g-pa thinks. What really matters is what your bf thinks.

Gotta love old people! They are toooo old to give a shit! Lmao

On the bride side his grandpa is a nutcase and ur boyfriend seemed to have described u well

At-least your boyfriend thinks you're very pretty :).

Well that's good that you boyfriend described you as really pretty!

And you say "And if I were sixty years older and stuck with low standards, your opinion would be more important than his."

at least now u know ur boyfriend talks only positive about u. thats an important thing.

well the good thing is your boyfriend thinks the world of you regardless of what an old fart thinks.

Hopefully he just got a little tongue-tied and meant that you were even more pretty than your boyfriend described.
