Voted : I think she needs parenting lessons
The kid should should stop feeling sorry for himself and learn how to talk to women. If all else fails, get a masters degree, rake in thousands each year and watch the ladies flock. I'm not saying they'll be genuine, but whether you got a huge nose or major acne, those were the cards you were dealt and you have to work around it.
As for the Mother putting her son down, she needs parental counseling.
Voted : I think she needs parenting lessons
Toxic mother. And the guy in the photo is not ugly. It's his dud haircut and expression that is working against him. His face is actually on the nice side.
^ I was just googled to find a picture that tied into the ballot a little and that came up, it's not necessarily my opinion of the person shown, infact I don't have an opinion on his looks.
^drop the was in that first sentence
It could be the truth that your friend is aiming too high.
Maybe your friend is a little shallow and is only looking at the prettiness and that is what the mother wanted to convey and did so badly.
On the other hand it is refreshing to hear of a parent who doesn't think the moon rises and sets on their offspring.

What a strange thing to say to your kid.

I guess that she doesn't know that Ric Ocasek married Paulina Poriszkova.

It might be reality for some. But here's another reality... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The mother giving the impression that her son can't get a girlfriend because of his looks is pretty shallow. There's so much more to getting a girlfriend/boyfriend than looks. Looks are fine if all you want is a dating partner or someone to crawl in bed with. But when it comes down to serious business, looks alone won't cut the mustard.
If you're friend has a great personality, it's definitely not him that's got anything wrong.
I heard an interesting discussion once on the Radio Chick show about this issue and it seems to me that parents can do as much, if not more damage to a kid by lying to them and telling them that they are beautiful and supersmart and all that.
Haven't you ever met a person that has been totally ruint by their parents' flattery?

She may just be one of those insensitive beeotches who never learned how to bond with anybody. If a woman can't bond with her own child, she really can't bond with anyone. That's just my own personal opinion. Could be wrong, though. Maybe they just have an "in your face" kind of personality. Like me. But, I would never say something like that to my child.
^neither would I ira
Parents should encourage their children to aim for the best. That's not the same as misleading them into believing they are the center of the universe and perfect.
One can acknowledge one's imperfections and still seek to attain something others might believe is beyond their reach.
I can't imagine ever telling my children they might have to "settle" - for anything.....
I want them to learn acceptance, but not to give up. As long as one sucks air - all things are possible.
^my feeling exactly
