Bumble guy who thinks he’s a 10 💀

I recently had an encounter that made me think about backhanded compliments, especially when they come from guys who think they’re doing me a favor. I received a message that started with a compliment about my looks but quickly turned into a suggestion that I lose some weight for better attention from men.

Like…excuse me? That’s your “compliment”? It’s 2024, and some dudes still think negging is a valid approach?

I don’t know what’s worse: the “advice” or the fact that he probably thinks he’s a solid 10 giving out beauty tips. Real confidence isn’t about outdated beauty standards, buddy. Some people really need to take their ego down a notch before they hit send.

Anyone else been hit with these “compliments” from people who are way too comfortable in their mediocrity?
