His Girlfriend Constantly Makes Comments About Him Being Too Thin And Scrawny, So He Decided To Give His Girlfriend A Taste Of Her Own Medicine By Calling Her Fat
This man and his girlfriend have been dating for three years and living together for about two years now. And for the most part, they have very similar eating habits.
For instance, they eat pretty much the same meals at home and in equal amounts. If anything, he actually admitted to eating a bit more than his girlfriend does.
“I have always been a scrawny dude, and I suspect it is from a fast metabolism or something else related,” he revealed.
Over the past year or so, though, he noticed that his girlfriend had begun to make rude comments in passing about his appearance.
More specifically, she apparently calls him “twiggy,” “too thin,” claims that he looks “anorexic,” and tells him that he needs to eat more.
Now, he has honestly always wanted to achieve a more muscular build. But, he has never been able to accomplish that goal, which means that his girlfriend’s comments actually really hurt his feelings.
And according to him, he has asked her to stop on numerous different occasions. Each time, though, his girlfriend apparently said that she was just joking.
Or, she claimed to be genuinely concerned about his weight and health.
Well, just a couple of days ago, his girlfriend decided to make some more digs at him. Out of nowhere, she reportedly said that he needed to “get some meat on his bones.”

And quite frankly, he had enough of it and decided to snap back at his girlfriend.
“Maybe you should get some meat off of your bones, and I will consider it,” he responded. Yikes.
Immediately, his girlfriend burst into tears and ran out of the room. Then, after he tried to follow her, she was apparently hysterically crying and screaming at him.
At that point, he attempted to backtrack and explain how he made her feel the exact same way she always makes him feel.
But his girlfriend was not hearing him and tried to claim that it was different because “being skinny is the beauty standard.”
That only made him more upset, though, and he pointed out how the beauty standard for women might be to be skinny. However, men are often looked up to for being big and strong.
Afterward, he also told his girlfriend that he honestly loves the way she looks and does not want her ever change for anything.
“I just wanted her to finally see the way she was making me feel, but she doesn’t hear it,” he vented.
So, he feels pretty terrible for basically calling his girlfriend fat now, and he doesn’t even think that the effort helped make her see how much her words affect him.
“I just tore down some confidence,” he admitted.
In turn, he has now been left wondering if trying to give his girlfriend a taste of her own medicine by calling her fat makes him a real jerk or not.
Is he right that in society, men are idolized for looking “bigger” and more muscular? Why do you think his girlfriend constantly made comments about his appearance? Did he have to stoop to her level to get his point across or not? If you had been in his shoes, what would you have done?
