The post that’s saying what she said

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?
