Dejected

By Barbara - 09/05/2024 03:00 - United States

Today, the girl I rejected caught me making out with this girl I like. I told her I was straight in order to avoid hurting her feelings instead of telling her I wasn’t attracted to her because she was obese. She loudly called me out for lying and burst into tears, and ran off making me look bad. FML

telling her the truth would have hurt her just as bad or maybe worse. you can't tell me that all those who downvoted you didn't pull some bullshit outta their ass before themselves. it'll blow over and you'll be fine.

she didn't have to tell her she wasn't attracted because she was fat. she could have just said she wasn't attracted to her. your statement is false. she wouldn't have been hurt as bad as lying

Lying to someone is what makes you look bad. Sometimes people forget they don't need to lie and make excuses. You can just politely say, sorry you are not my type, or sorry I'm not interested.

I probably would have done the same thing. you would have been shamed into oblivion for your preference because we're supposed to find not controlling your weight sexy now

You did the right thing. The girl you rejected running off calling you a liar is acting incredibly entitled. And bodyshaming being tagged to this post is disgusting - OP did not shame anyone, she simply described a glaring attribute of the girl she rejected that she finds unattractive.

Should have been honest about not being attracted to her. You didn't have to say why, and it probably wouldn't have hurt her any less, but now you just come across as a jerk. Use this as an opportunity for some self reflection or, at the very least, an opportunity to learn some tact.

It a shame it's so taboo just to be honest with people about why you aren't into them. In theory it should be empowering to know what's holding you back, especially if it's a quick/easy fix like a diet adjustment.
