What does it mean when a guy calls you average, not only once, but multiple times and says "you're pretty to me" and "way above average to me"?

I would say we are in a situationship and it doesn't necessarily feels good when you're called average looking girl, but it is confusing when he also calls me beautiful and hot

It means the guy isn’t mature or thoughtful. I’d never call a woman average even if she was indeed average. That’s an insult. I’ll either say you’re beautiful or say nothing. Anyway, what matters is how you feel about yourself. If you feel good and confident then that’s attractive.

Usually I do, but not when someone calls me average, but anyway thanks for replying

[Tim2nice]

Don’t pay anymore attention to him. He’s not worth your time. He’s too immature and inconsiderate. It’s normal to feel insecure at your age. I used to be wary of my looks as well, but now I don’t care if people call me ugly. I go home to a beautiful wife. Just to reassure you, you are beautiful in your own way. This guy just doesn’t know it. He’s too blind to see it

You are being used for sex either way so why does it matter?

[Asker]

Ha, not really, we live in different countries

[spartan55]

Then what is the point?

[Asker]

What point? Point in talking and kind of being with together?

[sheikalana]

He calls you average and then says you above average? I'm confused.

[Asker]

I am above average to him, but other people would tell me I look average

[Asker]

So other people wouldn't say I look really good, but he thinks I do. It's just that the first time he told me that, I didn't even ask (what other people think about me)

[sheikalana]

You shouldn't care about what others think of you his opinion is what matters. He thinks you're pretty you should be happy about it.

compliments to praise you

[Asker]

So 'average' is good here? I always thought it isn't, but maybe i am just overthinking it

[In_Trance]

It means you need to ask for clarification

[Asker]

He will tell me that other people would say i am average, but he finds me beautiful and above average
