That's a tough one. I really don't know who she is or why you don't like her, but I see she's 49 and I'm seeing a touch of that hollywood plastic surgery look, but for the most part she falls under the heading of being ideally attractive.

Why don't you sit him down and talk to him. Ask what he mean't by what he said. Rather than assume, ask him. Open communication is key to a successful relationship/marriage.

Have you ever been in a situation where you are genuinely unsure of whether or not someone is paying you a compliment or just making fun of you? Here's an example. I was watching the Graham Norton show tonight with my fiancé and my cousin and Kylie Minogue was on the show as a guest. As a joke, my cousin said "there's Emma's favourite singer", knowing full well that I really don't like Kylie Minogue. Every year my cousin buys me a Kylie Minogue calendar and every year it goes in the bin. So when she said "there's Emma's favourite singer" my response was a playful "Fuck off". After explaining the situation to my fiancé, he said that in about 25 years, I'll look just like her. He framed the sentence as if he was paying me a compliment, but I don't feel what he said was particularly complimentary, especially in light of the conversation we had literally just had. I didn't want to push the issue any further so I didn't really question him too much on it but now that he's gone to bed and I'm up watching a crap movie on my own, my mind began to wander and wonder what he meant. Perhaps I'm just tired and in need of sleep. Regardless, just curious if any of you guys have had similar situations where you weren't sure if someone was complimenting you or taking the piss. Surely I'm not the only paranoid weirdo here??

not a compliment, considering the conversation you'd just had. maybe a joke? but fell a bit short of the mark hey. thank him when he wakes up, and comment on how much he reminds you of justin beiber except for the talent and success part. see if he laughs

Ummm....I don't get it - what's wrong with liking Kylie Minogue? She's part of happy memories of my childhood..........?

Not that this is important or anything but in fairness, when it comes to talent, whether it be musical or artistic, he is definitely lacking. But then again, so is Justin Beiber lol. But I know where XxAxX is coming from.

i think my joke fell a bit short there

i have nothing to contribute, but fever is a first-rate, top tier pop album in my books.

One of the problems with the world today is that nobody knows how to let shit go.
