OH and I were chatting lastnight about how everyone is unattractive to someone and everyone is beautiful to someone.

Now I'm not deluded and understand that not everyone would find me attractive and some people would find me unattractive. Fact of life. However OH chipped in that some people would look at me walking down the street and say 'urgh'. That I would be ugly and offensive to some people. He thinks I'm gorgeous and beautiful but to some id be ugly offensive and hideous?! I don't see the need or constructive reason to make that comment...The issue here isnt whether or not people find me attractive. Couldnt give a monkeys tbh I'm happy with my appearance...more the necessity for him to expand the conversation to that level, and it has upset me!. AIBU?

Sounds like a tactless comment, he was probably all caught up in trying to make a point. There was no need for it but don't we all say something stupid and tactless once in a while? I think your reaction is a bit over the top. Personally, I would have made a comment then and there (on the lines of 'heeeey, that's rude') and then left it. Really not that big of a deal to me.

DP said to me once "I mean some guys wouldn't go out with you because you have hairy arms but I think they're lovely"

I didn't talk to him for several hours lol.
