Okay you know how when a girl says, "I'm so ugly right?"

obviously, she all wants you guys to disagree.

My sister asked me that and I obviously said, "yes you are"

now i wonder what boys say when girls do that to you

i decided for it not to be a poll since there are a lot of choices.

*EDIT*

OMG SORRY MODS. I CLIKED ON THE POST TOPIC TWICE AND ENDED UP WITH TWO TOPICS SORRY

If they're truly ugly I'll say it to them, if they bring it up.
But if I like the girl, that's a different case.. whistling.gif

It's okay. wink.gif

Eh, stupid attention-seekers. ><" those types of girls get on my nerves.

hehe, I say that all the time even though I know I'm not. Sometimes you just need an attention-booster or you honestly feel ugly at the moment... Anyways, when I do say that my boyfriend usally says something to the effect of "OMG NO YOURE NOT YOURE BEAUTIFUL!"

Well you peeps are probably still pretty young. Girls don't do that when they get older, some guys would probably find that less attractive. For me, I don't give just a blank and common compliment when I compliment a girl. I want to say something she hasn't ever heard before, something unique. There was a true compliment that I wanted to give a girl that I was one of my friends, but she had a boyfriend. I wanted to tell her that the first time I saw her, I noticed how awkward her facial features and dimensions were, but that the moment I really took another look, I found myself captivate by the most unique and beautiful face I've ever seen. That I could stare at her face and look into those eyes for hours and never feel more entertained, but that I also noticed that was only the tip of the iceberg, that she has so much beauty on the inside, and so much about her that I wanted to explore. Elaboration and sincerity can make a compliment memorable, but be careful not to use compliments like these too much, don't want them to be undervalued and taken for granted.

^ - Dude, I've been in that exact same siutation as you: I've come across what would have to of been the most beautiful/unique and kind hearted girl that i've seen in my life, and i was working up my confidence to tell her how i felt, until i heard her tell her friend something about her boyfriend...yeah, that shot ma hopes right down...

But what can ya do lol cry.gif

i hate it when people do that, they're just looking for attention

Yep, that's what happened to me. I still think about her, and still trying to get her number, because I have reasonable doubts as to how long the relationship will last. That is, unless they are going to get married and really are well matched, the relationship will end sometime, I want to be there when it does. I built up my confidence, too. But I did get lucky, I was getting interested right around graduation, and I kept pushing to make myself seen by her, walking up and talking to her, and I got 2 hugs, and they were worth it. I suggest making friends with her, if you can, I'm having trouble getting her number, and being there for her, being really nice a lot, but also showing yourself as someone that is looking for someone. Think about it, how often do you really think about so-n-so in a relationship unless they talk about one they have been in, or what they are looking for. That should help you stay out of or get off that "friend only" categoty. Good luck to those guys that rarely get a chance to date, like me. Stay sweet!

I always just either told them the truth or told them the exact opposite of what they expected to hear.
Tiny Skinny Girl:"Does this make me look fat?"
Me:"Shut up fatty."

They would always go apeshit with the physical attacks because they didn't ever have the mental prowess to understand what was going on exactly and they let their emotions take over for their reason. Strangely enough, all of the girls that I did that to went out with me at some point after that.

If they ask a stupid question, they shouldn't be afraid to get a stupid answer.

All girls do it, it's like guys all wanting to be strong and all that crap for the girl. You know like protect them? Hehe, I always say I'm fat but it's only because people were mean to me, and ya, I just need an energy boost there ^^ MYfriend Colleen always says she's fat but she's like little miss mini ^^

That was very poetic. wub.gif

You should have told her. I can't imagine any girl not wanting to hear that, boyfriend or no boyfriend.

It's a trap! Don't do it! She'll just treat you poorly and mask that with sex until she decides to dump you for a totally hawt guy that treats her poorly!

Lol... So true... Whoever does that obviously has low self-esteem. If she doesn't then it shouldn't matter what others think and therefore, she wouldn't call herself ugly and wait for others to compliment her.

I'm sure there are girls that are truly attention-seekers, but when someone compliments me and I disagree, I tell them. I just think it's because girls are very self-concious of their bodys and what not, and they honestly don't think they look that attractive. Just an idea. I know that's how I am.

You can't compliment women.
They always tell you that you're wrong or that you're lying.
