Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me if I wear makeup much. Expecting him to say something about my natural beauty, I replied with an honest, "No." His smiled softly, gently squeezed my shoulder, and said, "Maybe you should." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were out shopping. As he was trying on shirts, I told him that the particular shirt he was wearing looked ugly. He turned around, sighed, and said "You think? Well, your face is ugly, but you don't see me complaining about it." He was serious. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me I looked nice in my profile picture. I began to reply, "Aww, thank you!" until he sent another message saying, "Mostly because your face isn't in it." FML

Don't fish for compliments.

I don't see the problem here. He admitted that he likes you all the time, even at your lowest. Even though you think you look bad, either he doesn't or it doesn't matter to him. Either way, you win.

She said it for a compliment though. I hate it when people do that. He was right to say that back jokingly

Oh how I love my sarcastic boyfriend. instead of jk we say "not sarcasm" find a new boyfriend? really? this is what happened when you go fishing, sometimes you hook a tire. I'd this is what FYL today, get over it. you'll live.

You really painted him into a corner. The answer he wanted to say is: "No, I don't, but I put up with it in the hopes you'll soon look OK." He'd probably get a nut-punch for such candor.

Sometimes when a female asks "How do I look?" they are genuine and not fishing for a compliment. A response my bf gives is "I don't like that shirt on you" or "your hair looks great from the front but its doing something funky in the back". All good feedback!

Better than him complaining about how you let yourself go. :P

Granted it was rude, but at least he still is honest and still with you for being yourself. He's a keeper.

Sounds almost like "does this dress make me look fat?"

I think he was trying to be nice, just that it came out wrong.

I like how girlfriends or women aren't even allows to tell their boyfriends how they are feeling if it has anything to do with appearance, in which case they're obviously fishing for compliments. The OP was just saying how her bf likes her when she looks like crap, that isn't even close to fishing for anything.
