A man when very drunk compared me and supermodelfriend to first division and premier league, looks-wise?! What does this even mean.

I know, I know. In fairness I didn't keep asking, it was just the once when we were back at his house. He basucally passed out, he doesn't remember anything.

Premier League used to be referred to as Division 1 if that helps explain better.

blitheringbuzzards1234 · 07/06/2016 16:43

Never, ever ask a drunk for an opinion.

Stormtreader · 07/06/2016 16:44

So his options were to insult you or lie? I think he did pretty well at short notice!

StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine · 07/06/2016 16:44

It means he's an unpleasant pisshead who needs to crawl back under his rock.

Pagwatch · 07/06/2016 16:46

I think asking a drunk man to directly compare you to (what you describe as) a better looking friend left him know where to go.

I think, as pissed diplomacy goes, it was not as bad as it could have been.

oliviaclottedcream · 07/06/2016 16:46

I wouldn't dwell on it too much if I were you OP.

Floggingmolly · 07/06/2016 16:46

You were very unreasonable not only to ask, but to ask repeatedly when he tried to avoid the question. Don't be so needy, fgs.

sayamanara · 07/06/2016 16:47

So some think it's an insult and others think it's not? The way I way feel right now, I'm taking it as a compliment BlushSad He thought I was vaguely attractive?!

Phalenopsisgirl · 07/06/2016 16:47

First division is still good, I think it was a compliment in drunk man world

Inertia · 07/06/2016 16:48

You asking him directly to compare you to your friend puts a very different spin on things. Your initial post seemed to suggest that some drunk random started making the comments unprompted. If you know your friend is a model, why even ask?

sayamanara · 07/06/2016 16:49

I know, I won't be asking again. Have learnt lesson. I was celebrating something and it was the first time I had touched alcohol in months. Consumed a lot of it. Was with supermodel gorgeous best friend the whole night and felt a tad vulnerable as was being constantly compared to her. Got my own fair share of attention actually but even girls in bathroom were coming up to her to say they had clocked her and thought she should be a model. She is a very close, very good friend but anyone would be left doubting their own looks when being compared to someone all night...

This past season:

Newcastle United - Premiership
Middlesbrough - First division

Next season:

Newcastle united - First Division
Middlesbrough - Premiership

Nothing is set in stone :)

How the xxxx is a tit like him 'out of your league'. STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN.

No woman is second best. If your mate didn't tell him to F off she's just as bad and they are suited to each other.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 07/06/2016 16:52

He told you your friend was better looking good then still asked you to his house. What a creep

2nds · 07/06/2016 16:52

I agree with floggingmolly asking a guy that does come off as needy at times

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 07/06/2016 16:53

You're out of his league

araiba · 07/06/2016 16:55

op says her friend is better looking than her-ok
drunk guy she directly asks the same question to is unreasonable to say the same thing as op

sayamanara · 07/06/2016 16:55

No no. He chatted to me for most of the evening and seemed quite into me. Asked me to his house. Only there did I interrogate him!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 07/06/2016 17:03

Depends - is friend younger than you?

With the "it's the same" I would wonder if he meant that first division is the old name for premier league (like opal fruits and starburst).

ChasingPavements · 07/06/2016 17:08

What does it matter really? Why should your friend's attractiveness have any affect on you at all?

nobilityobliges · 07/06/2016 17:08

Have you never fancied someone with a way more conventionally attractive friend? Being attracted to someone doesn't mean that you think they're Angelina Jolie. I think you need to get over your obsession with looks. I'm distinctly average but I can still look pretty and sexy and be attractive to people. By coincidence I also have a very beautiful best friend. I wouldn't go round asking people if they think she's prettier than me because the answer's obvious .... she is! I don't see what difference it makes though, I still think I'm pretty smashing, as is she.
