Nasty friends of friends

Bullies are not worth a reaction. Just ignore him totally if you encounter him again

Some men try to come across as funny and witty but as they get older this often makes them appear rude and embarrassing I would put it to the back of your mind but be ready with a comeback should you ever find yourself in his company again however do you think this might make you think twice about how you describe others in the future if so take it on the chin and learn from it

HurdyGurdy stop making excuses for this pathetic bully. You’re minimising of his unacceptable comment is just as frustrating as his behaviour.
Cyber bullying? Oh do grow up!

Your posts made me laugh Craicon!
You c

Waht a horrible rude man, and quite ugly on the inside. Ignore his rudeness!

Posted too soon!!!

You certainly don't mince your words.
Hopefully this ignorant bully will pick on someone like you sometime and get a good comeback!

The guy has issues maybe related to his own looks or any thing else personal and at that moment your comment touched a raw note. Not easy to forget but do try and if you happen to meet in the street a big smile and a hello as the last thing you want is to let him see how his cruel remark affected you.

Yes, I would call him a horrible thing to his face.
It wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Craicon - stop making excuses for this pathetic bully

Where have I made excuses for him? I think he was equally unjustified in using the word ugly. It's a spiteful word to use against anyone, imho

I won't care who says what about me when I'm dead.

Basil Radford has indeed been dead for many many years. Colin Stinton, however, is still alive and still working - but is Canadian so possibly unlikely to be related to this man.

However, a comparison of the pictures of the two men may show how subjective attractiveness is, since I would certainly say Radford is nowhere near as physically attractive as Stinton and (although this is a little OT) I find it hard to understand why the OP made the comparison she did in the first place?

Are we allowed to say one person is more attractive than another?
Its getting difficult to know what we may post that doesn't offend someone.
By the way, I'm certainly no oil painting myself!

I see. It's ok for you to describe someone as being ugly but not acceptable for anyone to ask if that person matches your looks.

Jaxie. His rude and boorish response to you says more about him than you. Bullies think they are being funny/clever and put others down to make themselves feel good so how sad he feels the need to do this. At least you aren’t married to him! Just blank him next time you see him,and if the situation requires then just the minimum civilities. He has the problem not you ?

Unbelievably rude ..... if you meet him again, you could blank him, or just say “ do you need to insult others to make you feel more of a man ?” Or “ oh hello you’re the ugly one from the dinner party, can’t remember your name” .... he is clearly ugly inside .

I do know how this can hurt, but do try and remember the man is just an idiot!.
There are some people, not just men, who think that everything they say is just downright hilarious, put-downs especially. I'll bet he was showing off trying to be funny. The last time a friend of mine called me ugly I said to her 'Well look who's talking! I heard when you were born the Doctor turned round and slapped your mother!'
Sadly, she didn't understand it, but everyone else did, and she's a lot quieter these days! lol.

Ugly is as Ugly does my mother always said, hold your head high, if you see him, smile, and feel sorry for what a mserable git he must be trying to get laughs from being unkind to others at his age!

What a deeply unpleasant man, so sorry you had to meet him.

It may be he was trying to be humorous, but he certainly didn’t succeed. Just make sure you don’t see him again. And if you have to, quite a few people here have made very good suggestions.

Above all, put it and him out of your mind, although that’s easier said than done - I’ve certainly remembered some unpleasant people for a long time.

Have lovely weekend and forget all about him ?

Below contempt, but don't let it get you, avoid his company in future.

Just a thought - maybe he anticipated a discussion comparing the two films rather than a flip comment about actors’ looks. You possibly made him feel snubbed, I dunno. Just sayin’ ...

Had you met this man before? You say he has a bullying nature, but do you have previous experience of this? If you were in that couples house I'm unsurprised that nobody else stuck up for at the time. If you were elsewhere then your friends have no backbone. All very well commiserating with you after the fact, but no help really.
I certainly wouldn't go to that couples house again.
This year I dropped a friendship because of hurtful comments amongst other things. They do stay with you if you are of a sensitive nature and feel vulnerable.
I hope you can hold your head high and don't allow this imbecile to see he has hurt you. ?

I Luke avoid him at all costs you are worth better than that. People seem to think they can get away with being nasty and put it down to ignorance but it's really not nice.

Don't let it fester. Ignore him.

No human is ugly. But what we say may be ugly.

Jamie, maybe he didn’t see you as ugly at all but was just springing to the support of the actor with that childish comment.

Sorry Jaxie. Bloomin’ Spellcheck.
