everytime I get a bf my friends think he's too ugly and that I need better, but it hurts him whenever i tell him what my friends think about him and makes me feel bad. I know how he feels because they dont know what hes like. I told them to stop but they keep at it. and my bf dosnt feel like doing any thing when im around bc of what my friends say. how do I get them to stop???? for me and him
Siren_Cytherea answered Thursday July 15 2004, 6:51 pm: Hey now...those "friends" of yours have no right to judge your boyfriend without knowing him. That's not right. You need to tell them that, 'cause they don't seem to get the hint. Your boyfriend does know that YOU don't think those things about him, right?
You've just gotta tell them that they have no right to judge him, and it's gotta stop.
Good luck!

selectopaque answered Thursday July 15 2004, 11:46 am: For one thing, stop telling your boyfriend that your friends think he's ugly and isn't good enough for you. The only thing thats going to do is make him uncomfortable around you and your friends. If they don't say anything to him then just ignore them. If you like him then they are obviously wrong about him. I feel bad for the poor guy because his girlfriend keeps letting him know that her friends think he's ugly. Thats just mean.
SuGgaBabYsWt answered Thursday July 15 2004, 11:30 am: Well I*ve been in the same situation numerous times.. just tell y0ur friends that it's YOUR life and not theirs and they really need to back off before y0u lose sumin and y0u just end up not being their friends!

accolade answered Thursday July 15 2004, 10:01 am: m'dear, this is a common thing, and it's called peer pressure. you shouldn't care a damn what your friends say about your boyfriend. in fact, go tell them right now that what they said is extremely rude. if you lke him, that's enough. it's totally their problem if they don't like him. guys don't have to be hot for you to date them. secondly, don't tell him what your friends say. if someone tells you you're ugly, that doesn't make you feel good, it just brings you down. same with him.
hang onto him. treat him like your best friend. don't let others bring him OR you down.
aka: it doesn't matter what he looks like. as long as you like him. and he likes you. that's all that matters.

ballerina04 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 9:39 am: if you don't think he's ugly, don't listen to them. your opinion is the one that matters. if they do really get on your nerves, tell them to back off. do they have boyfriends? if not, maybe it's jealousy. if they still keep it up, maybe it's time to find a new group of friends. if you need any more help, feel free to send me a message in my inbox!!!
rockyroadicecream answered Thursday July 15 2004, 9:36 am: Don't get defensive. Just ask them why they think that (a calm, cool, in-control voice is best), then explain why you like him, and what he's like. If they keep at it, ask them to stop. Give them an ultimatum. They need to stop nagging you. Your relationships need to be between you and the guy, not you, your friends, and the guy. Take a break from them for awhile, and have some alone time with your bf.

TiffanyCroft answered Thursday July 15 2004, 9:09 am: If they were your real friends then they wouldnt make fun of your boyfriend. If you like him then it dosent matter what everyone else thinks.
so, ignore them and talk to your boyfriend about it.
good luck

butterfly004 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 8:28 am: First of all they are not your true friends.Find a group which will accept you as you are and what you do.And as for your boyfriend tell him that you care a damn about what your friends think and that they're totally different in thinking and anyways you should be knowing that "A Person is known by what he is from inside and not by what he is from outside".Best of Luck...

drifting_nimbus answered Thursday July 15 2004, 7:25 am: Child I'm going through the same thing, don't worry about what your friends think. They just care about you, they don't think anyone is good enough for you. You can't just get them to stop, for me it took 4 months of going out with my bf before they realized that he wasn't going to go away just because of what they say. If it really gets to be to much maybe your friends really arn't as good "friends" as they should be. As for spending time with friends and boyfriend, have you tried dividing your time? Spend one day with your boyfriend then spend a day with your friends, if you can't deal with both- then deal with one at a time. Good luck!

ClurBur answered Thursday July 15 2004, 6:09 am: Ok, well what they think doesnt matter because he's your bf! I think they are probably just jealous! Tell them to stop saying nasty stuff and if they dont like the fact you've got a boyfriend who by the way has a great personality, then they know where the door is! Good luck [ ClurBur's advice column | Ask ClurBur A Question ]

kevin1986 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 3:54 am: Who gives a crap what they think? They're probably jealous you have a better guy than them. These are crappy friends if you ask me. They're not going to stop,but so what? I'd say I'm attracted to him and if you don't like it,tough shit. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]
lynx_wings answered Thursday July 15 2004, 3:16 am: You like him, and that's all that's important. Tell your friends that what they say hurts both of you and that you wish they would stop. If they won't, they're not worth being friends with. Ignore them. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]

Sweetie2oo4 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 2:19 am: aww sweeite..i'm sorry but maybe you should take a step back and think *are they really your friends?*..friends are suppose to be supportive and except all of your decisions even if they don't agree with you. but i could be wrong,maybe they're just jealous of what you have, they could possibly like him, too. stay with your boyfriend..if you really like/love/care about him, that's all that matters. and remember , beauty is in the eye of the beholder =)..hope i helped..you can ask me, sweetie2oo4 , questions anytime..please rate me if you get a chance.
bRuNettEwOndEr34 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 2:18 am: Tell your friends that it is basically none of their business! Looks shouldnt matter in relationships, as sad as it is, sometimes they take over, but they really shouldnt. If they say anything about him.. it might be better to just not tell him cuz it will hurt his feelings. But to get them to stop just sit down and talk to them and explain that it is hurting you and they really need to stop because there are alot of things in him that you really like and he makes you happy and suggest maybe if they would get to know him better, that they might see things in him too! Hope i helped
BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 2:16 am: Thats mean that you're friends are doing that. It doesn't matter what anyone looks like. As long as he treats you well and you like him! Next time they say that tell them "Why do you guys have to make fun of him? I LIKE HIM! I don't care if you guys think he's ugly or if you think he's hot, I like him for him. And if you guys were my friends, you wouldn't say anything. So, please just stop" Just tell them how you feel! Good luck hun!
Kissxme1121 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 2:14 am: Tell your friends that it's def. not up to them to decide who you wanna be with and to keep it to themselves. If looks don't mean anything to you then tell them that and to keep their mouths shut cuz they are ruining what you two have got! Rate me plz and good luck!

hotcherry answered Thursday July 15 2004, 2:12 am: Well your friends are WRONG! who cares what anyone thinks, all that matters is how you feel about him! next time they say something, just be like "well i like him and thats all that matters...if u dont like him, tell HIM"!! it's understandable how your boyfriend feels about it, but after you do what i said, tell him you did that! he'll feel better...=D [ hotcherry's advice column | Ask hotcherry A Question ]
DorkyJay27 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 2:10 am: tell them that if they are your true friends then they'll stop for you. If they dont stop then i wouldnt call them friends, and i would avoid them just to try to teach them a lesson that you are serious when you say somethin.
