So when I asked my sister%26#039;s boyfriend what is his role in their relationship, he replied that he feels he has been brought on this earth to make my sister feel pretty. And that he only wants to make happiness for and with my sister. I%26#039;m a little skeptical about this dude though. He often says things to my sister...like how she should get a different haircut (since she has the old style perm), or get prettier shoes, and my sister herself seem to try to dress better, or not her usual style, when she%26#039;s with him. Is there anything wrong with this picture? Shouldn%26#039;t the perfect man for a woman be a man who loves the woman for being herself, not trying to improve her? Since he%26#039;s a hunk, my sister is of course all over him and blind to all his off-comments. But it bothers me. Ladies, would you be flattered if your significant others said his purpose is to make you feel pretty? Personally for me, I%26#039;d rather he say his purpose to to support + improve each other spiritually and mentally.
If a guy says his purpose in life is to make you feel pretty, does that means he loves you?
Nobody can %26quot;make%26quot; another person feel anything...so no one can make us feel pretty, we either do or we don%26#039;t.
What it sounds like is he%26#039;s decided he wants to %26quot;make%26quot; your sister look like he wants her to look, his version of pretty, whether that%26#039;s her preference or not.
No...a guy like that wouldn%26#039;t impress me at all. What he said isn%26#039;t an indication of love...but an attempt at control.
Reply:I certainly think this could turn into a control issue in the future with the boyfriend and your sister. Whatever you do don%26#039;t tell her this guy is trying to control her because she will get defensive and mad and it could hurt your relationship. My suggestion would be to test the guy (do it front of her), when they are going out and she has gotten dressed ask him if he thinks she looks okay or if there was anything he would change? If he starts saying change this or that just make the comment that you think it%26#039;s sad that he can%26#039;t accept or love her for who she is without trying to change or improve her. Besides, she should be comfortable and confident enough to not need a man to MAKE her feel pretty, she should feel that way with or without him. My husband learned a long time ago to never OFFER any suggestions without me asking his opinion. I value his opinion and what he thinks but I dress and act the way that makes me feel the most comfortable. Sometimes he is spot on with some of his comments, but I trust my husband with my life.... Good luck!!
Reply:I agree with you about his purpose. However, it%26#039;s not a bad goal to try to make your girlfriend feel pretty. If I was the girl, I would be kind of freaked out that his purpose in life was to make me feel pretty. That%26#039;s a really narrow and shallow purpose if you asked me. I%26#039;d tell him to spend time with Jesus and find out the real purpose for his life. When he does, then I suppose he could come back, if his purpose was compatible with mine. I%26#039;m a guy who wants to be a missionary in Africa, so it%26#039;s nice because it limits my choices considerably. I figure, if God wants me to have a wife, He%26#039;ll bring the right one along. And if any girl doesn%26#039;t want to go to Africa, then I cross her off the list automatically. Makes life easier. I%26#039;m not afraid of the celibate life either.
Reply:no it means ur ugly...
Reply:yes,
he has put her on a pedestal.
Reply:I think this dude is gay... No real man cares about what your shoes look like... I%26#039;d give him the David Hasselhoff test first to fully determine his level of gayness.
Good luck!
