I think it is a put down... totally. But then again, some people are morons... be happy you are in a relationship you enjoy... and forget the people who are lame.0

I think you both are over sensitive
X 1000 I take it as a compliment that they think my other half is hot!0 -
It's a very superficial comment. Several times I heard this they were referring to my girlfriend's appearance, while inside I was wincing. There was so much I was having issues with in the relationship, that I was moments away from leaving this girl who was supposedly "better" than I.0

When I'm asked my answer is "I dunno. Probably has something to do with cooking".:laugh:
Wait why am I laughing? It's probably true.:laugh: :laugh:

It goes both ways really! My husband brushes it off and jokes back and says " you mean how did she end up with me" and that is the end of that!! A joke with a joke and you walk away with the hottie anyways .. They can hate on you all they want. =]0

If there are other issues leading to possibly leaving that is different, but her appearance being "too good" based on someone else's opinion shouldn't be the only reason. It is an insensitive comment, but guys aren't the most sensitive creatures sometimes...I think it is truly meant to be a compliment to you. Just let it roll off your back.0 -
It's just a dude being a dude. I would be more weirded-out if my friend said to me…
"Wow, you both certainly are an excellent pair, both of you so attractive, especially you dude."
Not words i ever want to hear. I think you might be a tad bit over-sensitive.0 -

I agree.
By saying, "how did *you* get her?" he is basically saying "your girl is awesome, wish I could get a girl like her". Sure that sounds better, but men are lazy and that's far too many words.

I wouldn't worry about it, I was with my ex because I loved him and I was attracted to him. Who cares what other ppl say? I never thought i was better than him. There is more to a relationship than looks.0 -
I say it to my brother all the time. Mostly as a compliment and a little as a jab. He got a woman that is completely out of his league. Makes me proud and jealous at the same time.0

The comments had nothing to do with me leaving the relationship. There were many other issues we had as a couple. But I hated the "how did you get her?" or "she's out of your league" comments, because I wasn't happy in the relationship.0
