I was almost engaged to a guy who thought he had to settle for me in terms of my looks. When my mom asked him what he’s looking forward to in marriage, he said he’s not looking for an “Angelina Jolie dupe”, an “alright” girl will do just fine (referring to me).
Recently, I was involved with a guy who again went as far to meet my parents. Over and over again, he would say that looks don’t matter that much to him. I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal, but put yourself in my shoes please. Imagine the guy you’re dating constantly repeating that he’s not looking for a good looking woman. What does that mean? He doesn’t find you good looking.
This same guy also had the audacity to tell me he had lunch with his ex. He lied to me about coincidentally meeting at the dentist’s office because they had appointments at the same time…..LOL. He told me she was really beautiful but looks aren’t everything. In other words, she’s hot and you’re…not.
He makes it sound like being with him is a favor because “looks aren’t everything”.
Y’all I’m 31. I’m too damn old to be going to back to self-esteem problems. I worked so hard on myself. I had eating disorders as a teenager because I thought I was ugly. This stuff is hurting me deep and taking me back to a really dark place.
How do I avoid these idiots?
