My Boyfriend Said I Look Old
« on: May 17, 2007, 09:44 AM »

This is a very depressing statement to tell someone,

especially coming from someone you are intimate with

i am so depressed this morning i don't think i can work

what do you guys think?

That's really sad. I wonder what the circumstances in which he made that statement,

It could mean he was trying to say somethting about the way you dressed today, not particularly about you as a person or stuff like that.

I understand this could hurt your feelings deeply, but don't take it to heart and think on all tthe negatives. truly ask yourself - what's your dressing like today? Are you dressed like a chic or a mama? That could be all he was referring to.

what the hell, call him up and ask exactly what he meant! Tell him how you feel and have yourself a jolly merry day.

That's a very mean thing to say, but the context is what matters.  Were you guys having an argument?  Tell us!

He might not mean it, perhaps he was joking.

But also try as much not to dress old, always look your best at all times.

Tell him he doesn't look that young himself  Tongue.

Meanwhile you check yourself and the clothes you been wearing lately, or food you been eating, tush up a bit if you have been slacking.

Failing that he probably been or wants to start seeing someone on the the side.

Joking indeed!!! Taking another look at the post, the poster said she was so depressed which means she didn't see it as a joke. I don't think its a matter of what you look like when you are dressed as he would have been more specific if it were to be the cloth but he must have taken a good look at her before he said those mean words.
For me there's more to it than just your dressing!

sorry about this rather harsh statement made by someone that shld love You, but in any case, I believe for him to have said that he must have noticed somethings that probably werent there when You both started out.

Wot I'll advise is that please Girl try to do your best to look your best. Lookin best comes from within as well. dress smart & responsibly. You don't have show so much flesh to convince You that You look good, always wear a nice hairdo 2 & a little make-up helps to lighten up d face.

Good luck girl

Hush you - fellow! Not everybody is good at mincing words and placing emphasis at the right spots.

You must all think of the worst, murky reasons huh? If a guy wants to leave you he will never make such a statement unless its in a heated argument. If it was not a heated argument or something of the sort, such a comment would be based on the assumption that the lady would understand where his emphasis is - which i maintain is most probably her manner of dressing.

I have said that to my girlfriend before, but that was properly delivered and we laughed over it.I have even told her she is starting to look like canned coke and not the 35cl bottle - she got the gist and started working out, I think its an error in the manner of delivery from the guy.

I think it should be the other way round. If it was in the middle of an arguement then its as a result of his anger and what he thinks needs a change as regards his girlfriend but it wasn't that. He told her straight to her face that "she's looking old"

I agree with kachi_face. Nothing to be depressed about, plenty fish in the sea.
You will get over it, it is acceptable if he said it in the heat of an argument.

your boyfriend is a foolish mugu he's suppose to admire you a lot even if my friends think i look old i will be a bit offensive if my boyfriends say so i will dump him on spot who does he think he is, some nigerian guys don't know their babes is just managing their ugliness and this one is even feeling funky

No one can get you depressed without your consent. It will appear that it was not just the fact that he said it that got you depressed but you also must have agreed with him somehow - and that is where the real problem lies. It is a problem of ego. My advise is that - u should build up your ego and it won't matter if he was serious or joking because u will be convinced of who you are and what you stand for.

Abeg no vex, but if you're sure you're dressed like a chic, well then,

Anyway, about guys sayin you look beautiful ( Grin It depends, because we can say that to the ugliest chic on the face of the planet Grin)

Also maybe you used to look like Angelina Jolie or Shakira (Hot steamy and sexy) and now you look a little bit like Madonna with the hair off (just kidding!)

Anyway, if you're sure he's up to something? Try to work it out - if your relationship is worth it, otherwise, beat him to it - drop him, if you're all the sizes you mentioned, then, I just may be interested  Grin

whaddya think i hook u up with ma number or you gimme urs?? Huh

i think thats a childish talk,if your boyfriend can't tell u things about your self,who else should tell u,even though nobody wants hear that kind of stuffs about themselves,but it makes u sit upright and see ,where u've been letting yourself go, i think its best to have people that will tell u the truth, ,the way he said it is might be wrong , but  look at yourself in the mirror and see if hes right or wrong i mean if u see halle berry in the mirror then it don't matter but if u see whoopie, then,

Well, I think it must be that he was thinking aloud, he probably saw something has changed. The truth is everyone (even your boyfriend) can both be ugly and beautiful, depending on a wide range of factors from mood, hair-do, dressing, composure, posture etc

I will advise you to talk things over with him, but then I think u really don't to get worried since he has just said it once and may not really mean it.

Just in case, he keeps muttering the same line of jargon, then show him your back and call the relationship off.

Hey SW,
we can't struggle for the same 'chic' Its either you or me, (afterall the first guy that found her thinks she's old).

since she says she's not too far from Whoopi, well, I just may be changing my mind,  Grin

none the case, she should hook us up with her photo first

@ sexxxxxy
you're so so right Wink Wink I second you.

@ topic
Hello peeps, please lets come back to planet earth

@ Tellthem

dearie please come down, and do think. I don't think he'll tell you that just to hurt you out of the blue. If he wasn't interested in you any longer, I'm sure he'D have found a better way of telling you that,

If you guys weren't quarrelling, then something else might be behind it. He loves you, and will therefore want you to lokok your best, whats the point in him hiding it. You just got to ask him what he meant.
I can remember in 2004, we were in naija, everyone was like "chei, Linda, isn't there food in Norway, you look so skinny, i was hurt but my mum and boyfriend were like "honey, you look fine, you're gorgeous, blah blah blah" to my greatest surprise, when we were back in Norway, both of them were like "yea, you really do look skinny and too thin" I was like "and why didn't you tell me all this while" and they went "if we had joined the que, you would have been thricely hurt, so we had to cheer you by saying you looked fine.

Even though it still hurt, I understood they only wanted me to look my best, so i add some weight and looked much more healthier though still slim, but not to the extent of looking hunger-beaten Grin

What I'm trying to say is this, isn't it better to hear it from someone that loves you?? and do something about it, or would you be more convinced if it ame from a total starnger?? He might have said it in the most wrong way, but not everybody is good at biting their words before shooting, iy might be your makeup, your hair do, there are million of things that could be the case, just talk to him and ask . . someone who asks never misses their road they say!! Wink Cheesy
