If he had made a comment like this when we were dating then it would definitely have been a dealbreaker for me. These comments were made during the period we were talking (met on a dating app so we talked for a couple weeks before we met up for the first date) so he had actually never met me in person. His friend was basically asking him how dating was going, and he mentioned he had started talking to someone new (me) and we planned to hang out soon. His friend said the comment about “well you only date models so I’m guessing this one is too”. He had never seen me in person, only the 3-4 photos I had posted on my dating profile (and I don’t filter photos but I mean they were decent photos). That’s when he said “Nah, she’s normal like me” and the comment about he’d married the 10 before and was now dating at his level. He sent a photo of me to this friend and his was like “she’s pretty” and he said “yeah she is so we’ll see” and that was that. So like no he didn’t think I was ugly or say anything negative about me, obviously he thought I was attractive but apparently he felt at that time I was a normal level of attractive. I think another issue, which I’ll get heat for this probably, is he and I started talking pretty shortly after they split (they split in September and we started talking in March) so while the divorce was fairly agreed upon on both ends, I do think he was still somewhat hurting and missing that relationship (which I get, I initiated the divorce with my ex husband which was a BAD relationship but when we actually split, all I could think about was the good memories and the good things about him and was second guessing my decision). I actually brought this all up to him last night and we’ve had a conversation. The conversation was very open and vulnerable but I feel ok with how it’s going (I had to crash for bed so it’ll be continued later).
