Beauty is subjective. If he loves her eyes and smile, he could have stuck to talking about those. "Of course you're beautiful, you have the best eyes in the world, and your smile lights up a room." Period. It isn't even a lie. Bring up her personality later, when it isn't obvious you're trying to deflect. She can't be confident if people don't help boost her up.

Love the notebook 🌈. As for the story I think I would have handled it differently but I do appreciate that he talked about the physical things like her eyes being beautiful but also emphasized that confidence is way more attractive than physical beauty. That age is so hard it’s a difficult conversation to have.

As someone who isn't conventionally attractive themselves, I think it's hard to say that there's necessarily a correct answer in this situation. When most people don't find you conventionally good looking, you can tell. You can feel it. And at least in my case, when people in my life insisted that I was still good looking, it was hard to feel like they weren't just saying that because it was the "right" thing to say. It's to a point where, even now as an adult, I struggle to make myself believe people are being genuine when they compliment me on my looks because it's always been something people said out of obligation rather than sincerity. On the other hand, it's not exactly easy to tell someone they're not conventionally attractive without it coming across as calling them ugly. Not fitting into societal standards of beauty doesn't make someone ugly by any means, but that's not an easy message to convey. And especially when that message comes from your parents? Yeah, that can be a tough sell. I do think OP cinched it in the end by highlighting positive traits about his daughter, both physical and personality-wise, to give her something positive to ruminate on. I think ultimately whether what he said was appropriate or not comes down to how his daughter took it. Some people would find it hurtful. Some people would appreciate him just giving it to them straight. It's a situation that, to me, doesn't have any one right answer.

(Sorry for the wall of text! This is a matter I feel strongly about if you couldn't tell 😄🖤🌈)

Dad is NTA he told his daughter the truth and DID lift them up. When do you be honest with your kids? Looks aren’t EVERYTHING and I feel like he made that clear. I think that was better than the “O You are so Beautiful” talk.

My husband once asked his mother if he was ugly and she said, "No. You are the most handsome boy in the world!" Then she added, "Of course, I'm your mother so I'm biased". My husband is 58yrs old now and still tells this story and how it crushed him. I think this father handled it fairly well but I might have also pointed out how so many models, actors, singers are not conventionally pretty but that is why they are who they are and why they are so interesting. Ultimately, it isn't good looks that make you successful, it's the belief in yourself and the confidence that comes with it. PS: My husband has salt and pepper hair, dark skin, a roman nose, and the height of a giant and I love every damn inch of him.

NTA... Beautiful notebook ❤. Im honest with ny kids about everything. I think that he did it the best way he knew how to tell her without just dimissing or lying.

[KrystinaTorres]

Also I LOVE the notebook! I totally want one! 🤩🌈

Not the a--hole, I would've told my kid the same thing, though I don't have kids and don't plan on having any

His intentions were good but I think the daughter just wanted to be validated about her beauty. Which I understand after people forgot about her birthday to tell about how pretty the friend is.

I might get the heat here.. but I have to pat this dad on the back. Being a dad and giving advice to ur teenage daughter can be hard sometime.. most the time actually. I was raised by my dad and I would have rather got this speech then the honest truth that no ur ugly.. or whatever. I'd never lie to my kids either but I wouldn't tell them they was ugly. I would be my kids biggest cheerleader but this dad did good! Not everyone is gonna be drop dead gorgeous. And I never want my kids competing at that level either!
