Today, my boyfriend told me I'm beautiful. Before I could thank him, he continued, "Too bad it takes a shit-load of makeup." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 told me I can stop using makeup, because it's "not working." 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
Today, while hanging out with my boyfriend, I started getting ready for bed. As I grabbed my face wipes, he said, “Wait, don't take off your makeup because then you'll be ugly.“ FML
Today, my boyfriend gushed for several minutes about how amazing it is that I suddenly look hot when he takes his glasses off. FML
Today, after asking my boyfriend multiple times to be more kind and romantic, he looked at me lovingly and said, "You know, you look pretty sometimes." FML
Today, a guy was telling me how his girlfriend considers me a "perfect beauty." Not used to getting this sort of compliment every day, I felt extremely flattered… until he started explaining in great detail why he couldn't disagree with her more. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he loved me. I asked why, and he said, "Because sometimes you look good, and you buy me stuff." FML
Today, I met some guys from my dad's workplace. They told him what a pretty daughter he had, to which he responded, "Nah, it's just shit-loads of makeup." FML

#1 that is a purely suggestive comment. And I'm personally disgusted with the 28 people who up voted you. Good to know we are an intelligent society with the brains to know that fifty years from know we will be looking to an intellect and not the looks from high school.

Beauty is only skin deep.
bubblyhayley 16
he was clearly kiddin.. but anyone who says beauty is skin deep is lieing!... yes it matters to be a good person and be funny etc..but you cant have a relationship with someone you arent attracted to... or you would just be friends!!!
bubblyhayley 16
this doesn't excuse her bf though. ..hes clearly a tool!

@46, wow where do I start?
junkman6 22
46 has a good point, if there's no sexual attraction the relationship probably won't work, let's be honest. Side note here, maybe the boyfriend was just trying to say she wears too much make up. I know I've said "you're beautiful so stop wearing so much makeup" to a woman before, and she somehow heard "you're only beautiful because you wear so much makeup." Women get insanely touchy about this subject and rationality goes straight out the window.

I agree

What a dick. You deserve somebody who appreciates your natural beauty OP.
TheAbstract 15
Or lack of, apparently.

I wear make up (not 10 pounds of it, just eye makeup and lip gloss) because without it, I look like an extra on The Walking Dead. I'm probably gonna have a guy say this to me one day...

^You look like an extra on the walking dead. * walks out*

I hope you smacked him, OP.

Your boyfriend sounds like a complete asshole.

I thought it was funny. I find myself thinking this a lot of times. Someone's got to say it. Maybe not to your gf but OP should probably take the hint and lay off the make up for a bit. Maybe your bf doesn't like all that crap. Or he's just a douche. A funny douche.
doodlecloud 27
Crappy thing to say but then again, what other women does he see without make-up? I'd love to have a day where every woman went out without wearing a smidge of make-up/padded bras/hair extensions/fake eyelashes and see the general male reaction. I wonder how many would just break down and cry...

Or dump him to begin with. Men who don't appreciate natural beauty are truly the worse in my opinion. They go for an idea, an image, instead of the person who is in front of them. What happens if the girl comes out of the shower or just woke up? That makeup won't last. To be fair though, some girls are guilty too, especially those that cake layers on their face and would spend an hour to do makeup just so they go shop at WalMart for 10 minutes. I hate society these days, that which defines beauty as an hourglass figure or caked makeup. People should appreciate that there are preferences, and there are interests, and everyone has their own. These things should be done with virtue, not conforming to what Cosmo/GQ says... End rant.

Backhanded complements suck. He was doing good but he just had to keep talking.

I agree with #4 works like a charm!

"You're a great boyfriend...too bad it's only when you keep your moronic mouth shut."

I agree with #11. You could also always say something along the lines of "And you're actually pretty good in bed for someone who has such a small penis"
Ambient25 25
"Is it in yet?"
