AIBU - Probably am

Boyfriend of 1yr and a half (hes 25, i"m 23) works abroad.
He goes away for 2 weeks, comes home for 2.
He came back and told me the girls are really attractive where he is and on night outs they always want to talk to him but he tells them he has a girlfriend.
Aibu to feel a bit insecure about this?

Why would you put up with this, no decent man would ever think of saying that to their girlfriend. He’s trying make you jealous and insecure. Get rid

GracefulHippo · 04/03/2020 09:49

But I agree with the PPs, bin him!!! He doesn’t sound like a very nice person. Nobody who deliberately makes you feel insecure is worth the effort and worry.

ShagMeRiggins · 04/03/2020 09:50

Scandinavia is known worldwide for having the best looking people.

Oh, hello Adolph. Hmm

Such utter bollocks, and hugely ignorant of the world. And people.

GameSetMatch · 04/03/2020 09:55

Leave him, what a horrible man he sounds awful. You don’t need anybody like this in your life, call it a mistake and move on.

angell84 · 04/03/2020 09:59

@ShagMeRiggins who dragged you up? Tone your aggressive nature down. I will report your next post

feelingverylazytoday · 04/03/2020 09:59

Blonde is universally attractive maybe in your own little Eurocentric world, but not the whole wide world.

ClareBlue · 04/03/2020 10:03

@angell84 what utter rubbish. Blond and tall are just what some people find attractive. It is not a universal opinion what so ever. How many of our so called eligible batchelors married tall blond women. George Clooney? Prince William? The list goes on. Slavic women are gorgeous so are Asian women, in fact every Nationality has the full spectrum. The Scandinavian typical blond and tall only appeals to the same percentage as any other typical look.

angell84 · 04/03/2020 10:03

@feelingverylazytoday. Wow!

Scandinavian countries - win competitions all the time, about being the best looking people in Europe. I just looke online and saw "Sweden voted as the best looking country in Europe"

I am not sure why this has started ao much ire.

I don't care that the Scandinavians are good looking. Because loads of them are.

ThrowingGoodAfterBad · 04/03/2020 10:04

Going against the grain I wonder if it’s a clumsy (young male) way of trying to say he likes you better no matter the temptation? Only you can judge op, we on here don’t know him. Or if he’s getting used to continental honesty, you could ask.

angell84 · 04/03/2020 10:04

@ClareBlue again, who dragged you up? Try to write a post that is not seething with agreasion. It does not make you look good.

We are talkijg about good looking people in europe, not murderers.

I find it pretty bizarre - how aggresive some women get on mumsnet

Dozer · 04/03/2020 10:07

Dump!

Red flags for sexism, stereotyping women based on nationality/ethnicity and being a shit boyfriend!

Tellmetruth4 · 04/03/2020 10:08

Blonde is not universally attractive at all. DH is blond and prefers darker women (I’m mixed race). If everyone around the world preferred Blonde women, all other types of people would have died out by now. The person who made that claim up thread has an extremely narrow outlook of the world or just bases their understanding on Hollywood movies.

At OP, bin him. He’s negging you.

UYScuti · 04/03/2020 10:09

I would be laughing off what he's saying about how attractive the women are and telling him all about the hot men that I see it everywhere and how they all obviously fancy me etc
Or maybe don't even bother because he's just an inept 'player'🙄

pooopypants · 04/03/2020 10:09

"That's nice for you. I've seen some amazing looking cocks while you've been working away. I think I'll go ride one of those instead of yours. Off you fuck!"

Then block and move on.

woodchuck99 · 04/03/2020 10:09

The Scandinavian typical blond and tall only appeals to the same percentage as any other typical look.

Yes, as a tall blonde person, I agree! Also, most people in Scandinavia aren't that tall and certainly not very blonde. Much less so than me.

feelingverylazytoday · 04/03/2020 10:09

angel84 what competitions? Who judges them?
I find it pretty bizarre - how aggressive some women get on mumsnet
Maybe try to not sound like a white supremacist then. You will get called for it on mmsnet.

MarshaBradyo · 04/03/2020 10:10

He sounds like an idiot. The way he is speaking is off putting enough.

EmeraldShamrock · 04/03/2020 10:10

Go to Israel or Italy and comment to that prick how gorgeous the men are there
I saw the most beautiful men in Italy not in pervy lurking way, you can't help but notice how well groomed they are.

ThrowingGoodAfterBad · 04/03/2020 10:11

And don’t ask for serious advice on aibu, or at least don’t act on it. Try chat or relationships.

Ponoka7 · 04/03/2020 10:13

@angell84, because you didn't originally say Europe. There's absolutely stunning women from across Asia and Africa.
To the point that the rest of the world emulates their lips and backsides. As well as changing our skin colour so we aren't as white as our natural colour is. The idea of blonde/blue eyes being the ultimate in beauty was based in racism.

OP, he shouldn't be speaking like this to you. I can't help feeling that he is either going to cheat, or has. He'll use your insecurity, that he's created, against you.

Men come out with shit like this then wonder why we don't want to get fully naked with the lights on and have gymnastic type sex.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 04/03/2020 10:17

Massive red flag.

He's positively trying to make you feel insecure.

Ditch. Pronto.

Mordred · 04/03/2020 10:17

@AgnesNaismith "Absolutely no need to drag other women"

I'm not, particularly. Just stating my preference for petite dark-haired women over tall blondes.

I'm allowed to HAVE a preference, you see.

Damntheman · 04/03/2020 10:19

@GracefulHippo can assure you, they're just like UK men when it comes to looks - some are super pretty, some are not, most are right in the middle. Just like the scandi women - some hot, some not, most right in the middle! I don't know, they're very mundane to me living in the middle of them. But perhaps we only export the lookers, who knows!

steff13 · 04/03/2020 10:20

For example, Irish men have just won some competition for being the ugliest men in Europe, for being short and pale.

There's a competition for the ugliest men in Europe? Who entered this competition? Who judged it? Was there a swimsuit category?

CountessAlexandrovna · 04/03/2020 10:25

Dump the dickhead.
