Girls, would you defend your boyfriend if your best friend said this to him in this scenario?

[Anonymous]

Your boyfriend was messing around and joking around.

Your best friend said to your boyfriend: "you are trying too hard to be funny."

Would you defend your BF/stand up to your best friend if she said this to him?

Yes

No

it's a pretty bitchy and snide thing to say, but it's not that big of a deal. i don't think your girlfriend HAS to defend you at all - you can't go through life hoping your girlfriend will take up for you. you have to stand up to her friends by yourself.

for example, the next time she says something like this, say: 'it's a good thing i'm not trying to impress ugly girls.'

... or use 'not trying to impress you' instead of 'ugly girls' bc that's mean <<

I would expect him to brush it off, it's not that big a deal if a girl, other than his girlfriend, didn't think he was funny.

[Asker]

Its not a big deal if she rudely calls him out because she doesn't think he is funny?

[PurpleTeardrops]

No it isn't! It's not as if she insulted him, I think you're being too sensitive and if you asked your girlfriend, she'd say the same thing.

[PurpleTeardrops]

It's not as if she insulted you. She doesn't think you're funny, no big deal. Be the bigger person and ignore it

My boyfriend wouldn't want me to defend him, he'd be perfectly able to do it himself. Besides, if he was trying too hard to be funny, she can say that.

I'll stand up for my own man.
Yes she may be my best friend or friend, but no one girl or guy should disrespect my man like that. Cause I don't do it my friends partners so why should they do it to me.
And lastly I would turn around and say "well at least he's trying to be funny... I don't see you doing it"
Easy as that.

Assuming we are talking about full grown adults, I wouldn't think he would EXPECT me to stand up for him for something so petty and trifling.

[Pepski]

Depends on how she says it. And my BF's response.

If she was just joking or he just brushed it off I wouldn't say a thing.

[janaina]

I would just quickly change the subject. She isn't really insulting him that badly, so there's no reason for me to step in

[silverfeline]

No because I don't see it as a big deal for her to say that and it's her opinion.

[lenfantterrible]

Depends on the situation. Maybe he was really not funny and she was bothered by it.

If I could see on his face, or just get a feeling he was hurt I was would say something. But probably only after he addressed the issue himself and my friend continued.

If the guy was someone i wanted to spend my life with, then i would always defend him. That's because i would look on him as my best friend

[GirlieGurl21]

Depends what he is trying to do and how hard he is trying and if it's obvious he is trying to hard then he doesn't deserve my defensiveness!!
