Love: Types

Types

By aphre - 18/03/2009 12:35 - United Kingdom

Today, my boyfriend of over a year and I were discussing how neither of us is the other's usual "type". I explained that I usually go for insular asshole types and then asked him what made me different from his usual choices. He said "Oh, well, I usually go for the attractive ones." FML

Backhanded insult?

By Mandy - 07/06/2010 19:27 - United Kingdom

Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about our past relationships. He told me that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was smart and he suited someone who was quite stupid. He then went on to say that I was perfect for him. FML

Today, my new girlfriend was telling me how she's attracted to "All-American" looking guys. Tall, manly body, handsome face. Then she says, "But it's ok, you're cute too." FML

Bad guy

Today, I realized I’m not my boyfriend’s “type” anymore. People say I’m beautiful but I guess he wants the filtered, social media-butterfly type. He won’t break up with me because he doesn’t want to be the bad guy, considering everything I’ve done and do for him. FML

Today, I was having a romantic conversation with my boyfriend under the stars. He said, "You know how there are people who are beautiful on the inside and people who are beautiful on the outside? Yeah, well you're one of those 'inside' people." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went on our 2nd date. We decided to get to know each other with a game. I asked him what makes him nervous. He said "talking to really attractive girls." I then asked him if I was making him nervous. He said no. FML

So romantic

Today, my boyfriend and I were in bed and I asked him why he was with me. His answer was, "Well, the last girl I dated was really smart and she always made me feel dumb, so I decided to switch things up a bit. You make me feel like a genius, babe." FML

2 things 1. grow up, you asked walked right into that one 2. Women need to learn not to ask a question if they don't want it to be answered. you asked for that one liner and any smart guy with a sense of humor would have made that joke.

I think it was pretty rude of him to say that...(unless he was joking...) But all the people here that are saying "Oh well, at least he must like your personality or he wouldn't be with you" A) He still doesn't have to make a rude comment like that. Why would he? She said something NICE about him by saying her usual type are assholes and he is NOT her usual type, hence not an asshole...why would be respond with a rude comment? B) If you really like or love someone they should be beautiful to you no matter what...I've heard many people say that my husband is ugly or not attractive enough...and I couldn't care less, he may be no Brad Pitt but to me he is beautiful inside and out...and I would never hurt him by telling him he's not attractive...you just don't do that to someone that actually means something to you...

You've got to know that he was almost certainly joking, right?

lpblue and similar commenters, never assume that a girl can take a joke. Girls don't rag on each other the same way guys do, and take comments like this one much more seriously than a guy would. This is not to say all girls can't deal with it; I know I can, as can most of my female friends. But until you've got a clear sense of how a girl will handle it, I'd advise against making jokes at her expense. That being said, the fact that she posted to FML makes me think that this wasn't a joke, because he could have explained himself in the time it took her to type the post.
