Should you be worried if a guy's sister is hotter than you? What if he lets other guys check you out? Or he owes you lots of cash money? Or he used to be just so into you but now he's just so over you? Mmmkay, but what if he's a convict? So many worries, so many great answers. It's time for GuySpeak's Best of the Week!
My on-again, off-again boyfriend owes me $2,000 but refuses to talk about it. Does it make him feel powerful to ignore me?

I don't think it's a power thing. I think it's a he-doesn't-have-the-money thing. Now he's embarrassed and that's why he won't talk about it. Not that I am excusing his behavior; I'm not -- he should be trying harder. Has he even expressed remorse that he hasn't paid you back?
The problem now isn't just that you're out two grand, but the unpaid loan is a huge obstacle in your relationship. I'm willing to bet it's one of the reasons that you are on-again and off-again. Relationships are built on communication, and if you can't discuss the 600-lb gorilla in the room, you're sunk. You have to corner him and make him talk to you about it. If he won't agree to that, or if he still absolutely refuses to discuss it, then you might as well break things off with him permanently; either way, you're never going to see your money again, so why stay with someone who won't even discuss problems in the relationship? This certainly won't be the last problem you have, and if he acts this way now, you can bet your butt you'll see this behavior again.

Wise-Ass, I feel like you ARE making excuses for this deadbeat. She needs to dump him immediately and then make an appointment with Judge Judy. This is a total don't-pee-on-my-leg-and-tell-me-it's-$2,000 moment.
How do guys feel about other men checking out their girlfriend? Especially if she's wearing something tight or low cut?

I won't lie, it's awesome to stroll arm in arm with a woman so hot she could fry bacon with a blown kiss. And one reason it's awesome is because I know other dudes see her and think "What is she doing with him?" And I know that's what they're thinking. Because I'm a Jedi Pimp. And I smile. My junk is magic.
But I know the rule. Any man is allowed to stare at any other man's woman for no more than three seconds. More than three seconds, and it's rude. Undudely. And depending on where this is happening, like a bar or a club, potentially dangerous. Nothing ignites hot gorilla-on-gorilla action like one guy catching another guy slowly eyeball-banging his girl. I'm not saying getting your Hulk on is an appropriate reaction, but booze, boobs, and bro-rage are a combustible combination.
Gal Pal says:
I love hitting the town with a hot guy. As John put it, it makes me feel like my junk is magic. Or whatever the lady version of that is. When I don't have a hot guy of my own, I borrow one from some silly girl who's not paying attention. Or some guy.
My boyfriend is awesome, everyone loves him - except he's going to jail for 5 years. I'm so confused!

I'm confused as to what you're confused about. You are in swoon with a guy going to jail for five years. Let me tell you, sister, that's not a relationship. That's a situation where two people don't have the opportunity to grow and evolve (no Gatorade) into a fully functioning unit.
What you should do is accept that he will not be your boyfriend and keep in touch with him if you want to. Do not underestimate how much physical contact plays into the execution (no pun intended) of a real relationship. He can't hug you when you need a hug unless it's during the weekly visitation period. Dating a jail-bird is hard work. It requires more commitment than you might realize and it's something you shouldn't walk into blindly. There's no prize for being the "ride-or-die" chick. Plus, you're robbing yourself out of the opportunity of meeting and dating somebody who you can actually hump on Wednesday, i.e. Hump Day.
Gal Pal says:
Unrequited love is one thing. Unconsummated for five years because he's in jail love is quite another. He probably could use your friendship right now, but don't you dare not date other guys. If your jailbird really loves you, he'll want you to live your life to the fullest, not sentence you to unhappiness.
Is it weird to be jealous of my boyfriend's beautiful sister? I'm worried because I look completely opposite.

You shouldn't worry. There's a reason why you are the opposite of his sister: he doesn't want to date his sister. Because that would wrong with a capital "W." Wrong and illegal. Ugh. The thought of it makes me want to wash my brain out. It brings back icky memories of the Flowers in the Attic movie. That grandma was the worst!
Why are you insecure around her? It's not like she's one of his friends, or an ex. Is she mean? Does she make snipe-y comments about you? Is she trying to get him to break up with you? No? Then don't worry. Because the fact that she's pretty isn't influencing his feelings for you at all. No guy would ever compare his girlfriend to his sister. Even comparing your personalities would be weird. "Why can't I find a nice girl? Someone like my sister Julie." Eww. Gross. That would never happen.
Gal Pal says:
Sisters can be incredibly protective, so I get the whole insecurity thing. But remember, he wouldn't be dating you if he wasn't attracted to you. That just doesn't make sense. Now if you want to talk icky, check out this "no kissing before marriage" creepy dad video.
Why would a guy act like he's into me, then back off suddenly for no reason?
![]()
He wouldn't. Which means despite what seems to be, there IS a reason. It may not be apparent to you, or you may not want to admit what it could be, but guys tend to function pretty logically unless they're insane, drunk or fighting for the love of a woman. One time all three (we miss you, Uncle Gerry).
Maybe he was really interested, but then you had sex and now he's not because he's a tool. Or maybe you went on a date and he realized he hates your guts because you like Justin Bieber or fart too much or not enough.
In any case, all you can really do is give him some space or confront him about it, and I'd vote for the former, both because I think it's the right thing to do and because I think it's the easiest thing to do. Sometimes they are one and the same.

I love that Pamela's Prayer video. Epic mullets!
Oh wow. I'm still not sure what the hell I just watched, but I think I just touched the edge of sanity.
Isn't that video scary amazing?
Great comments on this week's answers Gal Pal. :)
Thanks, Melissa! You're a total gal pal.
I'm having trouble with the concept of: "(And don't forget to leave your nominations for Comment of the Week in the comments section below.)"
do you want us to link to the question and leave their sn? Quote them? sorry, I'm confused : (
I have more ideas for you.... we can communicate through email if you have access somehow to it, lol.
Yes, you can just copy and paste the comment here or link back to the original question -- whatever's easier. Thanks so much for all your input! I will try to sort out how to email you directly!
all i can say about that video: what the hell just happened.
i'm glad i've kissed boys before. for sure.
Wow, that video was scary and freaky.
