Just a quick one.
So I was out with a male and female friend. She (was a bit drunk) and says to my mate:
“You are cuter but I prefer him.”
“Him” meaning me.
I didn’t know what to make of that. Compliment? Back handed compliment?
It’s like saying, despite your grotesque appearance, I like you more.
I mean, yeah, it was me who was making her laugh all night.
The witty one. The sarcastic one. The one who had the way with words and humour.
I guess that can be enough to overcome a lack ‘good lookingness’? Sometimes?
I don’t know, it just didn’t sit well with me. I guess I should be used to not being the cute one.
I guess it’s mild jealousy that my friend can be instantly attractive to someone whereas I can’t.
I can only be so after several minutes or hours of interaction.
That doesn’t seem fair somehow.
Does it?
