Today, I was talking with my mother and expressed my slight disappointment at how many of my friends are getting into relationships, whereas I'm still single. My mother decided to encourage me by saying "Don't worry, sweetie. There are boys out there who don't go for looks. You'll be fine". FML

Today, my sister was dumped by her boyfriend. As my mother was comforting her, I overheard her say "Honey, it's okay, you're the pretty one. Think of those worse off than you. Think of your sister, she might never get a boyfriend." FML

Today, after coming home from hanging out with a few friends, my mom told me that I shouldn't hang out with them any more. Why? Because "they are way hotter than I am and I'll never get a boyfriend if I'm always the ugly one in my group." FML

Today, I texted a cute picture of my boyfriend and me to my mom, who lives very far away. She replied saying that my Photoshop skills are great, but that I don't need to go so far to pretend that anyone would date me, and that there's no shame in being single at 25. FML

Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML

Under pressure

Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML

Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML

Truth bomb

Today, I was sitting at home, venting to my parents about how I never get asked out by any of the guys at school. My Dad's words of wisdom were, "Don't worry, looks don't matter so much in college. Once they've had a few beers in them, they'll date anything." FML

Today, my mom was helping me plan for going to college. After 30 minutes of me getting more upset, and her getting more frustrated, she directed me to Tinder, a wedding venue website, and the local address for Planned Parenthood. Her actual words were, "There's no shame in being a stay at home dad these days." FML

And that's when guy should've asserted in something like, "I guess this is the price I have to pay for getting my looks from you."

Man I wouldn't worry about it too much... sometimes Moms think they're being encouraging and they really aren't. My Mom once tried to convince me not to get a breast reduction because there are guys who LOVE big boobs and I might regret not keeping them... I think she was trying to raise the self esteem levels a bit because I was always self conscious of them but it was a bit of a fail.

This is so disgusting. Everyone is born with value and worth and is an image bearer of God, the King. Women are the embodiment of God's beauty and every woman is a beautiful representative of Him. You and every lady who reads this, you are beautiful and no one deserves to unjustly and falsely have someone else say they aren't beautiful because God makes no mistakes and He creates every woman as beautiful.

Heh, FYL. But I'm sure she didn't mean it like that. She was probably saying there's boys who focus more on personality than looks. Best of luck either way :)

1. She's right 2. Every Boy has different opinions. One boy might think a girl is ugly while another might find her attractive.

Ok first of all, the reason no guys date you is probably because you have low self esteem. Your mother is partly right when she says that you'll find guys who won't date just for looks. In high school, it's basically all about looks so don't worry about it. You'll find someone eventually. Plus, being single isn't a bad thing either. Be more confident and guys will notice. Good luck!
