My guy friend called me ugly playfully?

Question

we are both good friends, and he just called me ugly though it was playfully but it still stung. I am not ugly. In fact, many guys call me beautiful/sexy/cute and I am definitely better looking than him. So why did he do that?

Good God, all is well and good until a FRIEND takes a playful jab at you? He is not your boyfriend, he doesn't owe you anything. Men take jabs at our fellow guy friends all the time, every five minutes probably. But once a guy does it to a girl it's something to get upset about? Get over yourself, if you are truly as beautiful as you seem to think you are, then tell me: WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT HIS OPINION OF YOU? Especially since it was said jokingly.

Because he knows you're beautiful. If you were ugly he wouldn't have said that because he knows that would've hurt you, but since you're beautiful, he thought you'll just take it as a joke.

I am not butthurt but he is my crush so I was wondering if he actually never found me attractive :|

He does find you attractive, that's why he called you ugly. And he said it in a playful way, so that's how you should take that, as a simple joke.

I'd politely tell this guy that even though he teased you and called you "ugly," his words still hurt your feelings. For example, you could say: "Hey, I know you were joking around, but when you called me 'ugly' it made me feel self-conscious." Don't get too worked up over his comment, though. I wouldn't stop hanging out with him just because of something he said.

he is my crush so I overlooked it but I don't think he likes me if he could say something like that to me.

If it was playfully it may eb a way of calling you beautiful. I dont think its a big deal. Its the same when we, girls, call a guy ugly and we just say it cause we think he is cute.

Yeah, I think its pretty normal calling people ugly playfully.

I would never call him ugly. He is cute :/ But I didn't pretend to be all hurt and crushed by it. Though it sucks to be called that by your crush.

No respect. My ex would call me a slut, even though I'm not and never cheated on him. He thought it was funny. I didn't. Idc how joking a guy can get, words hurt. He has not been brought up to respect women.

"Hey baby, your dick is too small, I can't feel it riding you! Hahaha just kidding babe" same thing. He would be pissed and his ego would drop.

Yes. Because if just a 'friend' would say something like that, I will give him a good comeback but when you heard something like that from your crush, it hurts you a little. I am assuming that he said it playfully, but even I don't know how much truth was there in it.
