Is this an unkind thing to say?

[CLED]

My boyfriend told me that he’d rate me a 5 out of 10 in looks. I’m upset by this. He thinks it’s fine and that I should be ok with this.

I don’t think I can move on from this. I’ve always been sensitive about my looks but now I feel like the ugliest person in the world.

My nephew has recently set up home with his lovely GF; sweet-natured and pleasant looking, but not outstandingly beautiful. I was quite touched when he confided in me, "You know, Auntie, I'm so lucky; I'm in love with the most beautiful girl in the world, and she loves me too!" We are all so pleased for both of them, and that's how it should be.

Ahh, that's so lovely. What a gentleman your nephew is.

He sounds deeply unpleasant . I would worry that this attitude could escalate and affect your MH. I would leave him tbh.

It's always preferable to be on one's own, rather than with someone who makes one feel bad/unappreciated/2nd best/unworthy/etc (insert other negative perceptions here)

Is your boyfriend on the autistic spectrum?

Unbelievable!!!

I swear I've read this exact same post before 🤔

Well it's a shame he brought it up as you wouldn't otherwise have brought up the fact that he's been a 2 lately, and LTB.

Ps he is negging and trying to make you feel bad about yourself so you stay with him, as he KNOWS you are too good for him!

Oh hun. Initially I thought maybe you’d asked him and he’d just said something stupid.

But he actually said you were 50% of his own free will, then rated himself 70%?? This guy loves himself too much. Either that, or he’s going out of his way to make you feel jealous. 100% red flags!! You could probably be the most gorgeous girl in the word and he’d say these things just to get your heckles up.

@amiafreakofnature Unfortunately, men giving women a rating isn't rare.

I see no issues with this. Looks are rated according to the eye of the beholder. His rating and feeling able to say so - ranking himself above you, different story
Even if obvious, why say
I’d never date anyone this crass - dump him now
