petal28 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 If a guy you were dating commented on a facebook picture of his male friend's date by writing the following...."wow, i'm impressed. Can you show me how?" Would you find that offensive as the g'friend?
tb24 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I'm a guy but that seems incredibly insensitive to me.
Author petal28 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Apologies but my original post should read as follows: If your boyfriend commented on a facebook picture of his male friend's date by writing the following...."wow, i'm impressed. Can you show me how?" Would you find that offensive?
make me believe Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Ahh yeahh... I would absolutely be offended!! Is this guy your boyfriend or just a guy you are casually dating?
ShatteredReality Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I'd probably walk away from that one...he's obviously scanning the crowd for the next best thing.
krz12 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Facebook seems to cause more problems than it solves.

Citizen Erased Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I'd feel that I was with a jerk. Seriously, ugh.
ShannonMI Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Facebook seems to cause more problems than it solves. Agreed. I hate Facebook
OnyxSnowfall Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Yes, it's offensive. Even in the remote chance that he was just trying to connect with the male friend and didn't really think of what all it could insinuate... it's, at best, inconsiderate and immature.
Author petal28 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks for all your replies! Would you consider this a red flag or would you over-look this comment if you knew this guy was a joker?
Disenchantedly Yours Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I would be offended too. Petal, how long have you been dating this guy? Viva La Revolution! Vers le bas avec facebook! (or in good ole English.."down with facebook".)
ScienceGal Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) How many dates have you been on (how serious are you?) If I had just started dating this guy, I would take it as him complimenting his friend and trying to be funny. Although, he could have just said "Wow, she's pretty! Good for you man!" Once I was with my ex and a female friend and they were trying to figure out if they had met a year or so before. My ex said, "no, because I definitely would have hit on you". Even though that was before he and I had met, it made me feel like total crap! Point is, people can say things that they don't realize are foolish and hurtful. Edited September 17, 2011 by ScienceGal
Author petal28 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) I'm not dating him now but i was once did. I'm just noticing all the "red flags" (if you could call this example a red flag) in hind-sight now that i'm not "in love" with him. This guy made the comment on FB whilst in a long term r'ship with another girl. This guy also used to comment to me about hot girls (in general) that he used to see around when we were dating. I'm just trying to understand whether his behaviour is a result of immaturity/insensitivity or him being a joker. Edited September 17, 2011 by petal28
ScienceGal Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 This guy also used to comment to me about hot girls (in general) that he used to see around when we were dating. This is insensitive and shallow. Glad you aren't dating him anymore.
