my 19 year old brother is like that as well outta the 3 bros i have hes the one who mostly annoys me. I dont noe whats up with him, everything your bro has told you, my bro said that about me . -.- so yes i know how you feel, but just try to ignore him, thats what i would do. But dont forget, one day he'll need you and u will have the choice whether to help him or not ;]
How old is your brother? He sounds really immature. Next time just roll your eyes at him, sigh loudly and calmly say "you are so ignorant". If he can't get a rise out of you he will eventually give up.
Sometimes people are mean because they are trying to deal with their own insecurities and putting others down makes them feel better about themselves.
I looked at both your sites and you do not look like a man! In fat you have lovely hair and lips that some women will pay for collagen injections to get
You also have talent as a photographer and a digital artist so never let your brother or anyone else tell you that you are stupid or an idiot.
Lydia... FWIW I think you are very wise to still be nice to your brother and not take this too seriously. Sometimes guys just flat out don't have a clue how we females take things. This is NOT worth destroying your relationship over. Take it from someone who had lost both a sister and a brother through death. The relationships are very valuable... enjoy it and let his silliness roll right on off.
Men do think differently than women, that's for sure. If you watch them together, insults are the only acceptable way for them to show affection for each other. It's like code. They can't seriously say stuff like "I love you, man," except in beer commercials, so they insult each other's appearance, physical prowess, or mothers.
Good point, Colleen!!! I think her brother was just being a brother. LOL my brother used to get me down in the floor, pour salt in my hair, and tell me what horrible dandruff I had!! He did finally grow up though and now is the best brother ever... and I DO give him a hard time about what he did LOL
That comment was totally off base!! I looked at your pics too, and you definitely do NOT look like a man. You are a pretty young lady. I am a very nice person too, almost too nice, but if somebody crossed the line like that with me, holy crap, they'd definitely get a verbal ***-kicking! I KNOW from experience that its extremely hard, but try not to let things get to you. I am very insecure as well, and i let stupid little things get to me and i worry and worry over them but its just not worth it.
Makes me extremely glad I have the brother and sisters that i have--They're some of my best friends. My brother, especially, is very protective and loving, which is really nice.
Your brother said you look like a man, but he has "manboobs"? How can you take that insult seriously? Sounds like he's a real winner - maybe he is insecure about looking feminine so he is insulting you in a way that mirrors how he feels about himself.
And, you don't look like a man. A friend of mine's mother looks like a man (but I would NEVER tell her that), but you certainly do not.
