For him to continue to do so even after you've objected is completely selfish and disrespectful.

What you two do in the bedroom is no one's business but your own. It's called intimacy for a reason: those are the intensely personal, private experiences shared between two people that make their relationship unique and special to them. You realize he's not really bragging on you, right? He's bragging on himself. He's saying to his friends, "Gentlemen, I am the proud recipient of high-quality oral sex on a regular basis. Aren't you? No? Well that is a shame."

If he wants to compliment you on your oral skills, fine -- he can do it in private. If he wants to compliment you to his friends, he can brag on your intelligence or character or how you are a wicked striker on the soccer field, not your tits or your ass or how well you blow him. Otherwise, tell him to get used to saying to his friends, "She used to give me great blow jobs," because there won't be any more of them.

Alternatively, you could "joke" to your BF's friends that he is certifiably terrible at sex. He'll pipe down real fast.

I'm dating this guy who I feel is slightly out of my league. I've seen pictures of his last girlfriend and can't help comparing myself to her. But he never compliments how I look. Any advice on how to get over the feeling that I'm not as cute as his past GF?

Girl's BFF says:

While I realize it's easier said than done, you have to stop comparing yourself to her. For one, he's not with her anymore. Apparently all that beauty wasn't enough to keep him around. Or even better yet, it's further proof that he's not solely overtaken by the outer package. That's not to say that he doesn't find you attracitve or beautiful or whatever the preferred compliment may be, but I seriously doubt a guy is going to date an uggmug on purpose.

If you want more compliments, perhaps you should tell him that. But you have to make sure not to mention his ex. The minute you bring her into any conversation you start to look like an insecure chick who's focused on the wrong things. And one thing men do not like is insecure women. Most people have insecurities, but nobody wants to have to deal with them everyday.

Just keep in mind: he's not with her anymore, he's with you. Stop worrying about somebody he's not worry about.

Gal Pal says:
This is a tough one. Once you've seen the enemy, it's hard to forget her flowing locks, flawless skin and freaking ridiculous body. But before you let yourself flip out, remember the Halle Berry principle. The most gorgeous woman in the world got dumped - beauty isn't the only thing men see. Be beautiful inside and remember that it's easy to tell who your guy wants to be with - it's the girl sitting across from him.

Which is worse for a married man to have ... an emotional affair or a physical affair?

Chic Geek says:

Some people would say emotional is worse, since a physical affair is ostensibly just about sex and the guy isn't in love with the other woman. There's always that scene in every movie about cheating when the husband's infidelity is discovered and the wife says, "Do you love her?," as if that matters more than the whole sleeping around behind her back thing. Like if the cheater in the movie says, "No, of course not!" then he's suddenly absolved of all of his adulterous sins. I never buy that scene, because life isn't that simple. Affairs are messy, complicated things and never play out in the exact same way.

But there's still a ton of fallout that comes from a strictly physical affair. Besides the fact that the guy would be potentially exposing his wife to STDs, having a physical affair with someone he doesn't love can still cause the wife to feel hurt, betrayed, self-conscious, and everything else that comes with infidelity.

I'm leaning towards an emotional affair being worse, since you have both the physical stuff and are literally sharing your deepest emotions with another woman. Even if the affair doesn't involve sex, the guy is falling in love with someone else while still going to bed every night with his wife. It's a betrayal on several levels.

Often, though, emotional and physical betrayal can be the same thing. Either way, it's going to do serious damage on the marriage. Both are equally sad.

Gal Pal says:
Sad, indeed. To me, all cheating is emotional. I have no problem with harmless flirting. In fact, I think it's a great idea - like taking feisty vitamins for your relationship. But once you start sharing your body - or your hopes and dreams and intimate secrets - with another woman, you've eating the junk food of betrayal. And that's going to come back to haunt you - any which way you slice it.

What are the top 10 reasons he hasn't called me back?

Reformed Player says:

What could he be doing that's so important he can't call you? He could be working? Or he could be a thoughtless bastard who hasn't thought a minute about you since you failed to take it all off on the second date? Or he could be busy with the life he had before he met you? Or he could be passive-aggressively be getting back at his mother who insisted he always call people back like a good boy? But these answers are too logical... too simple...
 
So here are ten actual reasons he hasn't called you back.
 
1. He fell down a well.
2. He suffers from spontaneous amnesia, and hasn't met you yet. Again.
3. He fell down a rabbit hole, and discovered that his cell phone had transformed into a dancing ladybug.
4. What? His carrier pigeons haven't rapped on your windowpane?
5. He doesn't get great reception in the Batcave.
6.  His wife, the Goblin Queen, ate his cell phone.
7. Maybe he doesn't have time to call you because he's busy doing something called defusing a nuclear bomb hidden underneath Los Angeles?

Gal Pal says:
Read the rest of John's sweet answers at the link above. When I'm in this situation, I like to come up with reasons that I'M too busy to call HIM back. Like I was tackling a new project at work. Or I was planning a grand vacation. Or I was on a date with some new, hot guy...

I was a chubby girl in high school. I started a health kick and am proud to say I am fit and very healthy. Will guys still want to be with me even if I was chubby then?

Mystery Man says:

Getting healthy and fit is always a good thing, however there may be a few drawbacks that you may not have considered:

First, losing weight often means that you lose cleavage, which in most cases is a bad thing.

Second, losing weight can make your face look funny to those who have known you in the past. You may want to stay away from people who knew you back then, as they may never get used to you with a thinner face.

Third, getting too skinny can look gross. Be healthy, don't be a zealot as you'll end up looking wiry like a marathon runner (read: Madonna). Not a good look.

Gal Pal says:
I'm not sure why Mystery Man is pouring the mean juice, but you should be proud of your body and what you've accomplished. We are a product of our triumphs and our battles lost, our jubilation and our pain. Your true love will adore you for who you are AND where you've come from. And BTW, I'm pretty sure you're lookin' gooood, so enjoy!
