JuneJulySeptember Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Just kind of a question. I see people write this all over the place and all the time that they date people that they are way better looking than. Like it's a fact of life like the sky is blue. Now, I no longer care about what people do/think unless it affects me directly and I really think I can stick to my guns this time regarding that. But I have a question. Would you guys date a man/woman who said in public and said to your face and all over town that he/she was better looking than you?
LittleTiger Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Yes - because I would know he was joking! 2
Eternal Sunshine Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 No. I never said it though, it was other people that did. I only agreed after the relationship ended 1
Pyro Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I did date someone like that for close to two years. The whole relationship was a nightmare. 1
tbf Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Would you guys date a man/woman who said in public and said to your face and all over town that he/she was better looking than you?No. Neither have I said it to anyone else. Really crass. 1
Treasa Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Uh, no, but then, I tend not to date 5th graders. I've never heard an adult actually utter those words. Does that really happen?? It'd be very hard for me to keep a straight face. I'd immediately feel pity for them, as they're obviously really insecure, and not talk to them again. I don't need man-children in my life. 10
Emilia Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Would you guys date a man/woman who said in public and said to your face and all over town that he/she was better looking than you? No because I would assume they lost interest in me. No-one with an ounce of brain and social skill talks this way, unless they don't care 1
Taramere Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Would you guys date a man/woman who said in public and said to your face and all over town that he/she was better looking than you? I'm struggling to picture somebody older than 14 and with an IQ higher than 95 actually doing that. How would they go about it? Would they dance backwards down the main thoroughfare of your city pointing at you and singing "I'm better looking than you are, I'm better looking than you are."? http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0cm38DYQP1r0wbav.gif Peopld don't tend to behave like that. If I thought they were better looking than me, then I might tolerate the occasional comment along those lines. I feel like I've enough other things going for me to absorb the odd comment like that, but if they had a habit of going on like that I'd tell them that it was disrespectful, and becoming annoying enough for me to think about ending the relationship. If what I got in response to that was more Squirrel Nutkin like posturing ("you're lucky to be with me, if anybody's going to finish this it'll be me, lalala") then of course I'd end the relationship. A good looking face is nice to look at, but it doesn't compensate for a dire personality, social ineptness and less brainpower than a ham sandwich. 10
xxoo Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 A good looking face is nice to look at, but it doesn't compensate for a dire personality, social ineptness and less brainpower than a ham sandwich. Signature-worthy! 6
iris219 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Who would ever say out what is in your OP out loud? And what be the purpose? I, like pretty much every woman in the world, have dated men less attractive than myself. It's the guy or the guy's friend who often points this out. Just because these men are less objectively attractive, it doesn't mean I don't think they are HOT (because I do). Even if I'm better looking I sometimes wonder if the guy is as attracted to me as I am to him.

I don't need man-children in my life. I have. Male friends have told me they are better looking than me. If it's happened to me, then it's happened to others. I don't care. I'm grateful for what looks I have. I'd just have to seriously reconsider the friendship.
Radu Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 But I have a question. Would you guys date a man/woman who said in public and said to your face and all over town that he/she was better looking than you? Depends how she said it. I have known women to say this in public in a joking way, and know for a fact that their relationship is very strong. And i have know [and dated] women who bragged about how caring they are because they date a guy uglier than them. I will never date the latter again. 1
sweetkiwi Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I dated a guy who literally said he was more beautiful than I was. Though all his friends would all him an idiot. And that they didn't know how or why I was with him. I soon discovered exactly how correct they were. This "man" was constantly putting me down. In a "joking" way..... And he constantly hit on other women infront of me. Then he took his stupidity all the way and threw me across a room. I avoid these kinds of humans now. 1
serial muse Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Would they dance backwards down the main thoroughfare of your city pointing at you and singing "I'm better looking than you are, I'm better looking than you are."? http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0cm38DYQP1r0wbav.gif Hahaha, that image made me LOL.
crude Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Isn't this the attitude of most women anyway? I'm so beautiful, I'm the prize, I must be courted by the lout because I'm a woman, I'm so amazing.

Would you guys date a man/woman who said in public and said to your face and all over town that he/she was better looking than you? I've never seen/heard anyone saying such things "all over town". How about you direct us to some sources before we go down the rabbit hole of ANOTHER one of your threads generalizing humanity. Who cares anyway... is someone did say that they they are using the person, wouldn't want to be with them anyway.
Estate Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I have. Male friends have told me they are better looking than me. If it's happened to me, then it's happened to others. I don't care. I'm grateful for what looks I have. I'd just have to seriously reconsider the friendship. Ugghhh.... dude.... really? Are you that sensitive? So, that was NOT what your original thread was about... you said it was about people who were DATING! But if you're on about your male friends making fun of you... well... guess what...? That's called "having guys friends"... is a joke, a josh, a slagging, a ball hop, or whatever it's called in your part of the world... Hahaha, do you think your male friends are going to be like "Hey Bob, your hair looks great today, I wish I had your hair".... hahaha. Guys are guys.... they will take the piss for everything and anything. You got a bad haircut... they will let you know how bad it is. You got a good haircut... they will let you know how much you look like Bieiber or something. Come on man, you can't seriously mean this? 4
Mme. Chaucer Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm better looking than ALL of you. http://topcultured.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/neenerneener.jpg 6
KungFuJoe Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 If someone told me that, I'd just think they were lying or delusional. I mean, c'mon...I'm ****ing hot! Anyone who disagrees is lying or delusional. 1

I can tell the difference between guys joking around and guys being serious. In these few situations, it was more like a friend having a casual conversation with me about dating, and said something like: Him: "You never know, some woman might like you better than me." Me: "What do you mean? You think you're better looking than me?" Him: "Of course!" Actually, that's exactly how it went, verbatim. Edited February 13, 2013 by JuneJulySeptember

If that bothers you, you would be crying over what most of my close male friends say to each other. They're brutal! 1
ja123 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm better looking than ALL of you. http://topcultured.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/neenerneener.jpg Interesting ... Einstein on a backdrop of Bach.

Author JuneJulySeptember Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 As goes... every conversation between 2 guys... ever. Uh, no. My guy friends don't make fun of me and put me down. I'm in my 30s. They did when I was in high school and college, but even back then I was able to see what was a joke and when somebody was being serious. It's not bad to be sensitive IMO. Because I'm sensitive, I make sure I don't call others unattractive. Everybody else's defensive mechanism seems to be to think they are unusually attractive.
