So my friend peered at me right up close and said....

[Spazzl]

'Wow, have you plucked your eyebrows recently?'

Clearly agog that I hadn't. I've got to the ripe old age of 40 something and never plucked my eyebrows. They are not overgrown bushes for those of you who might be wondering. But I prefer a natural look, I don't wear make-up. It felt really cruel and I was very embarrassed & too shocked to say 'Did you mean to be so rude?'. She's a glamour queen and exceptionally particular about her looks. I have to hand it to her, she is very pretty and always looks lovely. though still hasn't got a partner at 50 something Then it was my feet. I Whatsapp'd a picture of my feet in new sparkly sandals. I'd manicured my toes myself, neat nails & a very subtle soft pink varnish. I thought they looked lovely. 'What the hell have they done to your nails?' She said as if I'd had them professionally done and they'd gone wrong. Honestly, they looked beautiful. That one I let go straight over my head as I felt she was clearly talking bollocks.... Next it was my jeans, 'You really should wear a straight leg instead'. This person has been an amazing support to me at times but all these casual comments about my looks are getting me down. I'm not surprised she's never settled down. I think men must find her very pretty at first but see no staying power for the long term. I think I'm going to have to cut her off. I like her very much but I hate being picked over & found wanting.

She's no friend.

She is not a friend.

Maybe start asking her if she is sad never to have settled down with her true love..

What a horrible, cruel woman. She may be pretty on the outside, but she's as ugly as a mud fence on the inside.

Good grief, she sounds horrendous.
I don't really think you'd be losing much by cutting her out of your life tbh.

I couldn't even read through to the end, she made me so angry. She's not your friend, she's a vacuous airhead.

It's all in her head. She puts you down to make herself feel better

Pretty is as pretty does. Spend your time with someone nicer.

She's not your friend. She's a vapid, hateful cunt.

She's envious and insecure. Putting you down makes her feel better. It's your call if you can excuse it or need to cut her loose.

Pretty she may be on the outside but she is as ugly as hell on the inside.

She is no friend of yours at all. This is a person who puts you down to make her own self feel better. Do not tolerate this any longer from her; cut her out of your life. You need radiators as friends, not drains.

As pp have said she will only be pointing these things out to make herself feel better. I'd just say something along the lines of these comments about my appearance are upsetting me. If she doesn't stop, then stop being friends with her.

She is a Frenemy. Get rid.

This person has been an amazing support to me at times but all these casual comments about my looks are getting me down

These two statements feel a little contradictory. How has she been supportive? Is she generally kind and supportive and is perhaps just a little blunt?

It's not nice of her but she may not even notice. Put her straight as she has no right to comment on your appearance so negatively.
However, I think it's disgusting that you so clearly judge her for being single and assume that she's the problem in relationships - also success in life is not always defined as having a husband.
As you were.

She's a classic bitch. I'd just start cutting her out

Actually I think she sounds very insecure. Pointing out things about someone else to their face and in a negative way, is usually a sign, even when it comes across as vicious. As you say, clearly talking bollocks.

You need a line of comebacks.

'Have you plucked your eyebrows recently?'
Shrug 'No, they're naturally fabulous'

You can do it.

I don't think you need people like that in your life. There's more to life than looking a certain groomed way. A friend isn't there to criticise (unnecessarily) but to support you and make you feel good about yourself. Could you say something to her?

And, ahem, there's more to life than bagging yourself a man. I am aware you must be feeling hurt but to make comments about how she's still single/can't hold on to a chap implies that the ultimate deciding factor as to someone's success or not is finding a long-term mate (you aren't alone in thinking this but I find it so depressing).

Tell her that its sad that she has to kerp putting people doen yo make herself feel good but you are no longer going to be her whipping not.

She isnt a friend, friends aren't nasty to each other.

Down to make
boy Not not

Ffs!

I agree that OP clearly thinks herself superior for having a partner. Maybe OP's "friend" (I still think she is a rude cow btw) just hasn't met anyone she likes enough.

I can't seem to 'hold on to a man' either, I have managed to hold on to a lot of men, one after the other though

Your friend is very superficial, I couldn't be friends with her. I don't have the patience.

Unfortunately you lost the moral high ground when you had a dig at her single status. Completely understandable though, she sounds dreadful.

Whatta bitch!
