So, every girl should have at least one totally platonic guy friend. The guy who will be totally honest with her and tell her when she’s being nutso, or who will give her the straight-up info on what guys really think.
I’ve got one of those, and in general, he’s right about almost everything (I know he’s reading this, so I don’t want to flatter him TOO much)–but every once in a while, he can say something pretty dumb.
The other week, we were on the phone, and I told him I was going to workout. He commented that I’d been working out a lot, and I said that I’d been doing it because I need to lose around three or four pounds to fit into a dress for a party coming up. I’d bought the dress online and it’s just a tiny bit too small. (We’ve all been there, right?!)
His reply? “Well, I wouldn’t lose weight if I were you. If your boyfriend thinks you’re attractive the way you are (and I’m guessing he does!) then he might not be attracted to you anymore if you lose weight.”
WTF?! Really, dude? Three pounds and my guy is gonna say “Sayonara?!” I don’t think so. I know his intentions were sweet, and I have to say it was nice to hear a dude tell me NOT to try to lose weight, but um . . . kind of totally out there and wrong!
Have you ever had a guy say anything weird about your weight? What was it? Have guys noticed when you’ve tried to lose weight? Tell me everything in the comments!

I think y’all are missing the point. He told her her boyfriend would stop liking her over one tiny change in her appearance! As if that is all she has to give! For some reason, people always seem to think it’s ok to be rude about your appliance if they’re calling you skinny rather than fat. What if he had said the same about here GAINING just a few pounds. I bet you all would be mad for her, right?
This is just me , but it sounds like he might be worried or hinting that you have an eating disorder. Maybe self evaluate, and then talk to him. Girl, if my dress doesn’t fit, I return it for the biggerr size! It’s better to change the dress than your body.
I think that was nice and that a lot of guys
should say that more often. His intentions were sweet and you
can’t get mad at the guy for trying to make you feel better of your
weight.
that story was dumb. why would that offend you? all he said was that you don’t need to lose weight
I dont see what’s so offensive
Is this your passive aggressive way of telling him off?
Lolololol kind of overreacting don’t ya think?
well if he just said If I were you I wouldn’t loose weight doesn’t mean he’s going to break up with… That’s just assuming from one comment and is nothing to freak out over
That seems like a dumb thing to be offended about. Maybe it’s just me though…
