It's understandable if the guy had a history of being a cheater, or an abuser, but if they're saying he's not good enough for the girl because he's 'ugly', then their opinions definitely shouldn't matter to you!
Is the guy you like handsome to you? Is he nice to you? Does he treat you right? He should have more pros than cons if you're considering dating him lol. If he's worth the chance, forget about what your friends think. And if they say rude remarks, you stand up for yourself and say your taste is different than theirs. While they may like brown eyes, you like blue. Why should YOUR boyfriend have to fit THEIR standards? It just shows their lack of maturity. Good luck!

If their opinion matters on who you decide to be with, Then you are allowing your friends to basically choose for you. Rumors have it all but not everything you hear is true. You friends will always have opinions no matter whether you have their approval or not, You just cannot satisfy everyone. If your friends decide to talk badly behind your back instead of being happy for you then these wouldn't be true friends to begin with. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
