guy help: How do you get your boyfriend to stop saying he’s fat? - Help.com

yeah i was seeing a boy that did that all the time, i would always flick his face when he did it and told him to stop being stupid and looking for me to say that he wasn’t and that he was sexy. It worked, and made him stop, but probably not making him feel any better. I think you shold talk to him about it, ask him if he’s just doing it for attention.

Aww i know how he feels because i have image issues too. No matter what you tell him hes going to think hes fat until he does something to change his outlook. Whether it be accept how he look or exercise. I think hes use to being more in shape or miss his old figure so he think he look fat.

Or this lol

haha, Yeah sorry when girls do something like that, sometimes they’re just doing it for attention, and my ex used to do it ALL the time. People just love to be told they’re attractive, just make sure he really knows how much you like him and how attractive you think he is. I used to joke with my ex about how i was only with him for his looks.

Well now that you put it like that maybe i do do it for attention lol. I mean i cant help it which means that they probably cant either. We see an unattractive person so we have to be reasured that you find us attractive inorder to feel secure.

I do it with my friends too… Like i say ugh i look fat and they say no your not. But i hate it when they say that because to me they are just saying that because im their friend so they will tell me anything to make me happy.

Really? Wow. I had no idea that guys did that as well. Thanks!

Actually I didn’t realize that anybody did that.

Yeah i wish i didnt do this it really sucks not seeing what others see in you, seriously

But if you were really fat or wahtever their reactions would be different, unless they’re really good actors. They would say “no you’re not fat….”and then like drag it off and change the subject, or they would get wicked mad and be like NO, You’re not fat, so shut up, which is what happens with a lot of girls who do it for attention. OR if you were really fat they would be like mmmm and change the subject really quickly, or be ike NO THIS person is fat, and give an example of who is REALLY fat.

Well i guess im fat then because my friend gave me an example of who is really fat. Thanks now when ppl tell me im not fat im going to think they are lying, ugh.

So how do you know they are telling the truth?

NO thats not always what happens, honestly, its just what i do normally, different people are different. But to REALLY know if you’re overweight or something, has your DR expressed any concern? Look up your height weight ratio.
And i’m sorry my statement before didn’t really make sense, i was expressing the first as who IS saying you’re not fat just to be nice, and the second saying you’re not fat as in the truth.
