Meet the Wise Guy. He’s got advice to give and questions to answer, so send in any and all problems concerning the opposite sex. What makes him so qualified? He’s been a boy his whole life, so he knows exactly what’s going through your crush, boyfriend, or best-guy-friend’s dumbhead. Ask him!
I'm so jealous! My BF has posters of perfect-looking bikini babes plastered all over his room. I keep telling him that it offends me, and to take them down, but he won't do it. It just makes me feel so ugly and gross, like I'm not good enough for him. Is he not attracted to me? Help! I can't compete.
Dump. This. Idiot.
Maybe he’s too immature to realize that this sort of thing would bother his girlfriend. Maybe he understands completely, and doesn’t care enough about you to change his behavior. Either way, you shouldn’t waste an ounce of your precious self-esteem over him and his posters.
Just to clear things up, I like pictures of hot girls as much as the next guy. This is not about whether having those things on your wall is good or bad. Here’s the real problem: You’re uncomfortable with something, and you’ve made every effort to communicate this to him, but he’s made no effort to accommodate you. If he can’t compromise on something as simple as bedroom posters, do you think he’ll be able to when it really matters?
After you send this fool packing, he’ll probably take down the posters and come crawling back to you, begging for forgiveness. If you want to give him another chance, go for it -- some guys just need a slap in the face before they start paying attention. But there’s no need for another argument. Save your energy, know your worth and always be ready to walk. Having a boyfriend is great, but being respected and feeling good about yourself is much better.
