I have a friend who most would consider extremely pretty. She has a nice body and a pretty face and guys loveeee her.
Any time I see her, she feels the need to tell me in detail about her dates, which always include at least ten minutes of her mentioning that the guy in question told her that she was so beautiful, or gorgeous or perfect or whatever.
Even if I were absolutely drop dead gorgeous (which I'm not)... is that normal?
Do your friends give you every detail like that too? Or... would you find it annoying?
I'm supposed to see her soon and thinking about it is just getting me anxious! hah
Any good responses for when she starts to do that?

Sadly sh eis probably trying to convince herself after a lifetime of someone she loves telling her she is not good enough.
Just my guess0 -
Despite what others think of her, it really sounds like she has low self esteem and needs that reassurance.0
-
you could always just look really sympathetic and say, "well its just too bad all those guys never tell you how smart you are!"0
-
I have been friends with someone since high school... and she is exactly that way. Interestingly, she was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.0
-
She is probably intimidated by YOUR gorgeous body!!!0
-
Some people who are like that do have Narcisistic Personality Disorder, as the previous poster mentioned, but more likely, she has profoundly LOW self esteem and is trying to compensate.0
-
I think the real question is, Why do you care so much? So let her talk about her dates, and how hot they told her she is. What skin is it off your nose? (If you dislike hanging out with her that much, just don't hang out with her.)0
-
There is no question in my mind (and I'm not trying to put myself down at all because I don't really like her build!) but she would truly rather die than look like me!0

Because if you only see someone every so often, for them to spend the majority of the time, every time, telling you how beautiful they are...really makes for a painful one-sided conversation! Honestly, I haven't been hanging out with her as much for a few other reasons0 -

Oh, I'm not hard on her! I alllllways listen! lol Which is probably why it's getting to me!0 -
Ask her if for all the dates does she ever think she will find a guy that cares for her beyond a possible one night tumble in the sheets.0

The thing is though. Is that MEN looove your build. If she doesn't like it that probably upsets her even more!
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise! I have an hourglass figure and men tell me I have the "perfect body" all the time. Even when I am carrying extra pounds.
Apparently men are attracted to a waist to hip ratio. And hunny... you's got it!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:0 -

Kind of what I was thinking!! Wow-wee0 -

You're a sweetie! Thank you! I guess I should have bought this dress! lol0 -
I better not give you advice on this...I'm a very passive-aggressive person, and I'd probably only help you decrease your number of friends by 1. :huh: In any case, it sounds like your friend sure likes to hear about herself, once from her date, and again from herself describing her date. Not too much fun to be around.0

Ha ha ha ha ....good one!!!0

Maybe not politically correct, but tell her no amount of convincing is going to make you go gay for her.0
