to be confused by boyfriend

[Lovesgood]

Hello, need to ask you wise mumsnet folk.
I have a certain physical feature that my boyfriend compliments. However when he is talking about himself he talks critically of the same thing in himself. It really confuses me. What is that all about? He is very complimentary of me in general. Always treats me very well. Thats why this is confusing me. Is it some weird hypocrisy on his part? Because it doesnt feel like its a dig at me at all, its just at himself. But then 10 minutes later hell say something nice about myself about the same thing.

Ah no I think that absolutely makes sense OP. There are lots of men who like big women, not 'chubby' I mean like BBWs, and more often than not the men are not overweight themselves. It's perfectly normal I think.

I'm quite overweight. When I see pictures of myself I always think I look disgusting. But when I see other women my size, I never think they look disgusting. I think they look fine. 🤷

Aw...

But that's adorable that he likes your curves, and compliments you.

And it's totally the right way round- much better than men who are like " I have a massive beer belly, but my woman better be super trim"

And I bet 6 toes rock. Imagine all the balance...

It's really not that hard to understand! Chubby women are sexy to some men. Whereas most people don't see themselves as their most sexy when they are chubby. Women are the worst for thinking they look awful when actually they look like rounded wobbly sex goddesses to a good number of men!
