Is it bad if he calls other women "hot" in front of you?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I have been going out for more than a year now and we're quite close. He calls me beautiful and sexy, not just while in bed, which really pleases me. But what I don't understand is why he calls other women "hot" right in front of me. He has done this a few times already and I just ignored it because I didn't know how to react. I don't know if he was trying to make me jealous on purpose or he just wanted to see what my reaction would be. I know guys' eyes do wander sometimes from their girl when they see another "hot" girl, it's in their nature to look! And I don't have any reason to be jealous, he's the type who doesn't play around. It doesn't really upset me, I just don't understand why he does it and simply don't know how to react. Besides, I don't call other men "cute" or "hot" in front of him because he's always been the one commenting when my guy friends hang around me "too much". Should I talk to him about it? Should I just ignore it? Please advise!

Well, it would be one thing if he didn't compliment you and said those things about other women. Sounds like he's just really comfortable around you, but I think it's rather inconsiderate and inappropriate to say in front ofyou. I had a guy do this and instead of reacting I would also critique the woman, but I'm very comfortable in my own skin. If I see a beautiful woman, I'll say she's hot. What I did, I gave him a taste of his own medicine. When ever I saw a picture of a guy or some guy out in public, I would say "he's hot". Well, he didn't like it all! LOL! He started getting all self conscious and asking "really, you thought he was hot"? Sometimes, that's all they need - a taste of their own medicine.

He is probably doing it to make you jealous. My ex did that once. He commented on how nice another girls boobs were. I told him, "Yeah they are nice, keep it to yourself because I don't care." He never said anything like that again. I know they are going to look, but they don't need to tell.
