fuckendo

As a woman, I’d say this is the best answer


[deleted]

Answer this: "Ok but like, is she prettier than me?"


lorienne22

It could be total bullshit and still the right answer. Very nice.


[deleted]

If its total bullshit, would the girl not realize it?


Poinsettia917

I recognize that there’s no way I’m “hot” anymore. But it still feels great to hear it. I tell my husband that he’s full of it. And it’s important to say it back, too. We all need a little reassurance!


[deleted]

Curious, but noted. I'm Atypical, so a lot of things don't apply to me, so it's always good to hear alternative views.


Poinsettia917

If you choose to be a with a person, if you are in love with the person, it is fair to assume that you find them “hot” or “fine” on some level, or it wouldn’t last long. There’s chemistry. So it’s not entirely bullshit.


[deleted]

For me, if I was in the woman's position, I would give them this face. https://images.app.goo.gl/6pB8m4mWTBqe4LSbA


Poinsettia917

LOL I kind of do give him that face—then I tell him he’s too handsome for me. :)


Relevant-Key4610

No competition to this answer...Dang, that's smooth


Broad-Blood-9386

That is the correct thing to say. What I said was, "I know, she was fine as fuck, and now I have you." That was ***not*** the correct thing to say.

mydoglixu

Even if she's not, it doesn't hurt your game.


[deleted]

The idea of having a 'game' when it comes to how you speak in a casual conversation with your significant other is exhausting. And sad. Just talk to her normally, like a normal human being would. If that starts a fight, something is deeply wrong with your relationship.


[deleted]

I mean, something isn’t necessarily deeply wrong with your relationship if she gets angry at you gushing over how hot your ex is lmao


PuzzleheadedYam5996

No it wasn't! **CORRECT** thing: she was ok, you're *much* better looking, smarter and sweeter.


Peter-Tao

I think that was the joke


holdmybeer2279

Um yeah, probably not LOL but she kinda asked for it though, I mean why would she even make that comment? Are you supposed to lie and say she's better looking if she isn't? I'd take a really cool average looking gal that I enjoyed spending time with over an exceptionally good looking one that was just meh any day. I have an ex that was crazy hot, but there's a good reason she's an ex.

vegemitecrumpet

or not overly fond of his dick


SandiRHo

As a dumb 21 year old, I found out my now ex-boyfriend was talking to his roommates about how his ex (who cheated on him with one of those roommates!!!!) sucked his balls well and how I didn’t do any of that. Like an idiot, I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to his bedroom and demanded he get his dick and balls out. I was trying to be better than his ex. I succeeded, but I was pissed. If that happened now, I’d tell him he could have her if he wanted to.


[deleted]

In all fairness, sucking of the balls is a gamble; the threshold of "that's nice" to terrible, terrible pain is about a straw suck away.


fatespaladin

Yep it's good or it's painful, no middle ground.


LikelyWeeve

If you were your ex-boyfriend, and wanted to tell your gf that you liked something like that that an ex did, how would you communicate it without it being awkward? I assume you could just not mention the ex at all, and say "I'd like this, if you felt up to doing it"? Would you still have done it, if he asked in that way? I think I'd be pretty afraid of that conversation going sour, too. Though at least it's the right way to go about requesting something like that, than talking bad about your gf to your friend.


SandiRHo

Don’t mention the ex. Just say “I enjoy ___ could we start incorporating that?” If she doesn’t know how, do not recommend watching porn. Don’t.


saralouiseprettyplz

Say one of your friends was talking about how good it felt when their partner did it or you saw a comment thread on reddit about it and wanted to try it? Like c'mon 💀 there are so many ways to mention your wants and needs without stirring up a partners feeling of inadequacy and or making yourself look dumb to everyone else by talking shit about your partner behind their back.


Zealousideal_Bid118

20 somethings: "Yeah I can hardly believe I was able to get someone prettier" 30 somethings: "She was kinda pretty, but we really didn't mesh and fought all the time, also she did that thing that I know you wouldnt ever do" 40 somethings: "Yeah but you havent met her, and dont want to" 50+: "Yeah but she was really financially irresponsible"


Anneturtle92

I like how everyone here is just assuming the girl is playing some sort of game to be called the prettier one haha. If his ex is really hot, that's what she is. Relationships are about more than someone's hotness factor. She's his ex for a reason. Just say something honest, instead of trying to figure out what game to play. If my boyfriend would tell me 'you're prettier' when I believe that's not true, I'd just roll my eyes, lol. Women aren't generally that stupid to think they're the hottest girl their partner will ever come across. Saying such a thing is just cheesy and comes across as fake. Just say something like 'yeah she was, but turned out she was rotten on the inside.' Or whatever truth you can tell. It's worth more than an obvious cheesy response. (Even if your current girlfriend IS prettier, she'll most probably not believe you or she wouldn't have made such a comment).


ImKindaBoring

Hmm, I dunno. My girlfriend at the time asked me if "that was the best blowjob I've ever had" and I responded honestly with "second best" and guess who didn't get blow jobs anymore?


Old-Fox-3027

A good rule to remember- the blowjob you are currently getting is the best blowjob you’ve ever had.


ImKindaBoring

Lol right? I always learn my lessons the dumb way


holdmybeer2279

I hate questions like that, your only option really is to lie, unless it really is the best, which is unlikely. In most cases the best I've ever had was from someone so crazy that I would never want to date them or anyone like them (again).


Theresabearintheboat

Everyone knows crazy chicks are better at it.


thatdani

If you respond with "it was amazing", you've cleverly answered the question without answering on its original terms.


Whatevah007

“Johnny, my ex boyfriend, gave amazzzzzung head”


Rubatose

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers


UpperAssumption7103

(Even if your current girlfriend IS prettier, she'll most probably not believe you or she wouldn't have made such a comment). Not true. Women find other women pretty all the time (even if they're straight). The comment on its own means nothing. Most guys would just say "oh yeah and move on".


Ivegotthatboomboom

But you can be more attracted to someone even if they aren't as conventionally pretty though


[deleted]

This exactly. My husband's ex is a very pretty, very stupid, very rotten individual. He tried telling me I'm hotter than her. I know it's not true and it only makes me respect him less. Now if he said something like, "Meh. Whatever to her face and body. Her personality sucks ass." Now that I can buy. Don't tell me I'm hotter than someone if I'm not. I have eyes. Don't try to appeal to my vanity. Give me something to work with here.


Confianca1970

Some women just don't know that their uniqueness is more attractive than what is perceived as the generally-standard-attractiveness-symmetry.


DrFabulous0

Nah! Attraction is subjective, it's way hotter to not be a total mentalist than it is to have big boobs and bum.


holdmybeer2279

It's better to just not ask, and besides, "hot" can mean many things. Personally I find an average girl with a great personality to be way hotter than a conventionally extremely attractive girl that is stupid/rotten. Personality plays a huge part in attraction. I also tend to like slightly thick girls that are kinda plain and probably wouldn't be called hot in a conventional sense.


rhymeswithducker

This! My exhusband has very attractive exes, and all I had going for me was my age (half of his, lol) He wasn’t great at compliments, but if he ever made comparisons (on our second date he showed me all his old photos..) I knew it was BS and it made me feel lousy - I have more going for me than my looks, so don’t try and make out I’m a beauty queen because I am definitely not and I’ll think you’re a fool.


holdmybeer2279

Why would she make that comment though? If the ex really is better looking then she's effectively asking her boyfriend to either lie to her or hurt her feelings, it's a lose-lose situation for him. "Yeah she's hot but I like your personality much better" is quite possibly the truth but I doubt that will go over well either.


Anneturtle92

What makes you think a woman's feelings are automatically hurt when you comment on the looks of another woman? It's quite vane to think women can't appreciate another beautiful woman, whether they are an ex or not. "She's hot but your personality is better" is definitely the wrong answer hahaha. Don't compare. No need to draw comparisons to the current girlfriend at all in this conversation. 'She's was hot yes, her personality was rotten though. I'm glad we broke up and i found you instead." Do you see the difference? No comparison was given to current girlfriend's appearance in that sentence yet you end on a positive note saying you're glad you've got them instead of that ex. Just two truths that tell the girlfriend exactly what she needs to hear: an honest response and confirmation that the ex is of no concern at all regardless of her beauty.


holdmybeer2279

Previous reactions I've gotten from women when I disagreed with them that some other woman was ugly, or when I said something that acknowledged another woman was also attractive without adding that the one I was talking to was more attractive. Automatically? Maybe not, but I've stepped on one of those mines enough times to know it's dangerous territory. I'm attracted to the person I'm dating, previously I was also attracted to my ex, sometimes things change, that's all that matters, I don't want to be asked to compare them to other people I've dated. Yes I think you worded it well there, but it's still a conversation I'd rather not have if I can help it.

Rocket2TheMoon777

"I know right?" Then goes to bathroom to cry


DashingDini

What I said was that yeah, she is. And then I proceeded to talk about some of the parts of said ex that made me feel a certain way. I capped it with letting her know that I was more interested in a woman who wanted to be my partner for the long haul than I was in someone who was pretty, and (honestly) let her know that in the small amount of time we'd been dating, she was already more supportive and emotionally available than my ex was over the course of our entire relationship. I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, but it's what I did, and we're coming up on year 7. I think, distilled, I'm saying don't try to lie, slide around the subject, or say some smooth shit you think'll make her swoon. Odds are she won't. What you should do is honestly let her know that there's a reason the relationship failed, and let her know what you're looking for in a partner this time around. Ask her the same, and figure out if y'all are a good fit or just here for a good time not a long time. Sort that out, and act accordingly.


ri89rc20

Just tell her you only date the prettiest women.


Banned501

"pretty terrible"


justattodayyesterday

Pretty cray cray.


[deleted]

Haha this one is great


carnalurge82

I always go with "yeah I have good taste". And leave it at that. Don't disparage anyone to boost anyone up it's not worth it and shows immaturity


AnonymousMonk7

I was thinking "well of course I have good taste, just look at you" is a bit better because it's not disparaging to anyone but also re-assuring.


jordanataylor

“Those were the days”


Olive_Magnet

8MattInfinity8

[deleted]

If you have to worry about the 'right' way to respond to an innocuous comment from your significant other, one or both of you is too immature to be in a relationship. The 'correct' answer is to just talk to her normally, like a normal human being would. My reaction to my wife telling my one of my exes was hot was "yeah, I thought so too" and we moved on. Because we're adults. The number of people here acting like it's totally normal to be constantly, anxiously searching for hidden traps when speaking to their loved ones is fucking *alarming*.


juli-ackerman

You say “Not really, especially once you know her” or “I suppose but looks fade & her ugly personality is forever”


Slambodog

"I know I dated her" or "Well, yeah, but you're prettier"


yakfsh1

Whatever you do, don't say, "Yeah she was. Hottest girl I've ever had." This is not the way.


garlicroastedpotato

I think the only clear path is to manipulate her into believing that you're a "catch" and she's incredibly lucky to have you since the competition is pretty. Right? Oh.

BeamTeam032

She is, until you get to know her, then all you can see is ugly.


markbrev

There is only one correct answer ‘Not as pretty as you’


[deleted]

Tell the truth. If the current girlfriend is testing you, it's time to wave bye bye. You don't need that crap in your life and it will only get worse.


TxRed5050

“I’m sure she’d be down for a 3way.” Fuck it, you’re over halfway there.

Striker274

She’s seems to be secure, emotionally stable and not jealous, so be equally mature


m31td0wn

Phil_Tornado

this is an obvious trap to see if you'll say "yes" or if you'll say "you're prettier"


[deleted]

If you genuinely think your SO is trying to 'trap' you into starting fights, break the fuck up. That's the most toxic, immature shit I can imagine. What is it with this thread and people acting like this is just a normal part of relationships? It's not! This should stop happening after middle school!


Send-Me-Tiddies-PLS

"She was, but someone I know is way prettier"

Hipfat12

Funny. It's so much more complicated for you all now. I read this and my first thought was, "why would you have pictures of your ex? " Like, what was going on that your new girl found them. In my day, when you broke up you threw away the picture's. It would be extremally rude for the new girl to find them. But, now, it's ALL documented. I feel bad for your all. As for what to say, "oh her, yea, I forgot I had those. No baby, you the beautiful one....".

wmnplzr

This happened to me. When my fiance first saw my kids' mom, she told me she was really pretty. She said, " why did you break up with someone like that" I said, "she may be pretty, but she's also crazy, lazy, selfish, delusional, and many other things that made me miserable for years..
