What's Wrong With This Compliment? by priest2u(m): 6:11pm On Jul 02, 2011
Hi Nl, what's wrong with this compliment " though you're not that pretty you're the kind of girl every man would love to be with". A girl was very upset after receiving this compliment, what's wrong with it?

Why in the world would you tell a girl she is not pretty? Even the ugliest girl thinks she is gorgeous. You might need to apologize,

Actually--- this comment shouldn't faze anyone. Why is she vexing? How old is she?

The latter part of the comment already indicates that he meant no "harm"--it wasn't supposed to be an "insult".

Beauty is subjective. Beauty is the eyes of the beholder.

Technically, I don't think there's a "legal" need for an apology. You still have to apologize though--coz clearly she's pissed.  smiley


But wait a second---that apology is going to sound wierd

" I apologize for telling you you're not that pretty---Sorry, you're actually pretty"----    undecided

OR

" I apologize for telling you you're not that pretty--- sorry, I should have kept my mouth shut and lock my thoughts in my head"---    undecided

Anyhow sha---go and apologize.
Re: What's Wrong With This Compliment? by ShyOne(f): 7:05pm On Jul 02, 2011
it's obvious why she is upset

he told her she was "homely" and just because you are homely, don't be upset, it's not over with for you, many men would want you for your fallopian tubes, your hands to cook and clean, your vajj and your quiet take anything manner that is usually expected to be in "mental residence" with someone of your "homely" stature and demeanor.

since she knows and majority of men know what "you are not that pretty you're the kind of girl every man would love to be with" - generally means. she was angry, horrified and upset that if he thought this way, others would as well. she was given a snapshot of what life could mean for her if she dealt with the large group of thinkers that would view her in this manner.

Re: What's Wrong With This Compliment? by ShyOne(f): 7:07pm On Jul 02, 2011
I would suggest that he move forward and not look back, any apology he would extend would not be sufficient to undo what his big mouth has released.   He should consider it a "teachable moment" and never make the same mistake ---- though in his eyes, he thought he meant well.

Re: What's Wrong With This Compliment? by Cuddlemii: 7:19pm On Jul 02, 2011
Why should you apologize? What do you want to say to her: "Sorry for saying you are not pretty". The harm has already been done.

She even showed you she was upset, babe got no chesting and stamina for hard knocks like this. She couldn't even hide it. Why the hell would you show your bruised ego to man, what happened to the term "pride". That means she is ugly inside out.

But U sef wicked sha, which kind line be that. Its better not to flatter a babe by keeping mute than jam talking. You should have just told her that "you like her personality" simple. "The every guy would love to be with" part was not necessary because that's not a proven fact.

In conclusion, u sha wanted to preach the sermon!

Fantasia said people used to call her ugly before she won American Idols, that didn't bother her or limit her. See where she is now. I'm sure those same people that called her ugly would be claiming her now or begging for money from her.

The op's girl is just a baby jor!

It simply means girls/ladies love it when you lie to them.

True that, they are very pretty internally, whether they are pretty externally is another matter entirely grin grin grin
