My ex says I am attractive but I am not conventionally beautiful, like the type in magazines....

So you're not a model that's OK who is? But you're still beautiful in your own way OK that sounds like a compliment I don't know if he worded it right

It sounds he's saying you're beautiful but not in some common, conventional way, that you're unique and special.

Sounds like he was trying to tell you that you're special to him.

Why are you obsessing about what an ex said? He's an ex for a reason.

Let them remain an ex.

"Conventionally beautiful" to me just means fake as hell. Photoshopped and all that. Maybe he didn't mean it that same way but I would take it as a complement personally.
Natural beauty type of thing

Wait. Hold up. The man said 'you're pretty but not the common type'?

And my ex says i was bad at compliments.

Sounds like he started rambling on a little bit too much. But of course you’re an x now I don’t have to walk on egg shells with what he talks to you

Take it as a compliment that he still thinks you're a hottie 😉

It doesn't matter what he thinks of your looks. He is an ex.

He doesn't mean it.

If so, he wouldn't be your ex. 😕

Exes say things, we're worse to listen to/worry about anything an "ex" says

PaleandPolluted · 36-40, F

Uhh sounds like my ex. He was a porn addict though so his idea of beauty was different than others.

If he says you are attractive, believe it. Remember. You were together for awhile

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

The types in magazines are not conventionally beautiful. They are not conventional at all. They are fictions created in photoshop.

I think you should take it as your ex isn't very intelligent...

If you live in the same town, he trying to get in your pants again.

Beauty comes in different forms and different styles.

Why is he an ex?

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

Erm, you are exes. It's no surprise you don't get him. And even if he doesn't think you're pretty, who cares?

My ex says I am attractive but I am not conventionally beautiful, like the type in magazines. How should I take this?
