She Upset Her Brother After She Told Him What He Should Change About Himself In Order To Get Dates With Girls
Have you ever received advice that ended up being kind of offensive?
One young woman recently upset her brother after she told him what he should change about himself in order to get dates with girls.
She’s 20 and has a 21-year-old brother who attends the same university as her. They’re studying in similar departments, so they see each other occasionally to compare notes and chat.
“I think my brother is nice, but lately, he’s been getting somewhat frustrated about not getting any dates with girls,” she explained.
“I wouldn’t consider my brother ugly, but I do think there are some features he has that need adjusting if he wants to be more attractive. The other day, he asked me how he can be more attractive to women and go on dates or get a girlfriend.”
She’s been in two relationships while her brother has been in none, so she sat down with him and spoke to him about the things he could change and put more effort into to seem more attractive to women.
For instance, she told him he should step up his hygiene game by washing his hair more often and looking into a skincare routine, as his hair is often greasy, and he hasn’t done much about his acne struggles.
“I offered to help with skincare because I know at least where to start regarding skin type,” she said.
“I also offered to help him shop for better shampoo and said he should get used to washing [his hair] more often.”

She also offered to help him find more clothes, as he often wears jean shorts and a plain teeshirt almost every day. Then, she started talking to her brother about his personality. She said he could be a bit dense and has trouble picking up on certain things.
For instance, a few years ago, he asked one of her friends to prom multiple times even though they clearly said no and aren’t into guys. Her brother also talks a lot about himself, and she told him that he has to learn how to have more in-depth conversations by asking women questions about themselves.
She also told him to get more involved in clubs or sports at school, as he spends much of his time playing games.
“There needs to be a healthy balance,” she said. “It all boils down to if you want to attract someone, then you need to become someone that people will find attractive.”
She thought their chat went well, but when she texted her brother a few days later and asked if he’d like to meet up later in the week, he said he didn’t want to see her for a while because of what she said about him.
Now, she’s rethinking the entire conversation and wonders if she was being too mean or harsh with her brother.
Was what she said about him mean, or was she just trying to be helpful?
