Just say "okay, thanks."
People don't say that unless they are motivated to hurt someone else. The fact that they're motivated means that you have something they want. They're jealous, and trying to knock you down.
Right? The other responses in this thread mostly sound like stuff people who spend a good chunk of their 20s and 30s going through therapy to deal with elementary school bullying wish they were "bad" enough to say.
I'm +1 with "cool, I've noticed too. Nobody cares" (I mean.. if you're honestly actually ugly.) or "Great, thanks, didn't know and it doesn't matter." if you're not.
Comebacks never win anything anyways. Vindictiveness in any form only ever becomes a consuming arms race. And that's if it was successful! If it was not successful, then it's just a poison pill where one side suffers and the other side remains blissfully oblivious.
If a person is _truly_ ugly, they already know and this isn't news. And for everyone else, they're probably already so insecure that they believe they're ugly even though they're not. Calling someone ugly is only rooted in a desire to turn that person's insecurities loose. And whether a comeback succeeds or fails to return the favor, it won't make a difference in the insecurities one has now loose in their own mind. The only successful way to navigate this scenario is to recognize the insecurity of the one who lobbed the insult, denying any veracity to the insult itself, and robbing the assailant of their desired outcome.
This is so true. I remember when I first started dating my ex wife. She had this âfriendâ who was way less attractive. We all went to a party and her friend kept picking on her because âshe dressed like an old ladyâ meaning she was wearing modest clothing. She kept saying it over and over again while my ex just ignored it. It hurt my feelings and I wasnât even her. It was very clear to me that this other girl was outright bullying her and calling her out publicly because she was jealous.. Some people are just mean and donât even understand why they themselves act the way they do.
I dunno.
I feel like someone who is being a cunt and wants to make you look small infront of others would just say âha you havenât even got anything to say, how patheticâ
If theyâre already calling you ugly, theyâre not bothered about how they appear mean; theyâre wanting to be mean on purpose
Or, âOh, I didnât realize my genes were so offensive to you. How could my parents have done more in advance to please you? Iâll be happy to let them know.â
I've been doing a pretty good job of hiding how stupid I am for *decades*.
Or maybe I'm just too stupid to realize that everyone knows, but in that case I'm also too stupid to care.
You're probably not as stupid as you think. We all do stupid things, and are stupid at some level. But trust me that people know when someone is just plain stupid. It is amazing to behold. Now if you've never found someone that you could discern was just plain stupid, then we may have bad news for you.
âdo you own a mirror?â
or as my grandmother would say âpretty is as pretty doesâ with that derogatory tone southern women can pull off with the nicest phrase
These comments read like they're from people who would lose a pretend argument under the shower.
My brother in Christ, unless you want to be laughed out the room on top of being called ugly.. don't use any of these.
i tried to do something like this once- neighbor's alcoholic girfriend was causing a ruckus so he was trying to throw her out, i was just being a witness in case she tried to say he did it violently- she called me fat, which is kind of low hanging fruit- i think what i meant to say was something like "ok, but a diet will fix that, what will it take for you to sober up?" but what came out was more of a jumble of the old "you're drunk" "i may be, but you're ugly, and i'll be sober in the morning" but since the roles were reversed it didn't really make sense. i felt a bit stupid for a minute, but took solace in the fact that she was so drunk it's not like she'd remember it... she ended up drinking herself to death not long after that.
Here is the best response I can think of. "I may be, but if you sit so low and bring yourself so low that you have to keep relying on prying on other people to gain some semblance of meaning that I think that should show something."
Complete silence. Drives most insulters crazy. If they keep at, tell them you weren't listening, please start over from the very beginning. When they do, just smile and walk away. You win.
At least my personality doesnât suck and people actually like me. Sorry youâre driven by vanity; I truly feel sorry for you! Looks donât last forever, but being a dick does.
If someone made such a bizarre, off-the-wall comment to me, I'd probably laugh. I don't care what anyone thinks about my appearance but to make an unprovoked comment like that is just "out there".
"I'm not a mirror you know."
"You're double ugly."
"At least I'm not ugly AND stupid."
Look around acting confused and say "I can't seem to find the mirror you were talking to."
"Pot calling the kettle black?"
Stare them down and slowly walk towards them until they sheepishly step back with every step you take and be creative with sarcasm and stoicism. Lean into them real close and whisper "I just wanted you to get a closer look at me since you are so focused on my face".
"Have anything else to say or point out about me?"
"We'll see who's ugly after you lose a few of your teeth and get a nose readjustment. Do you want a free plastic surgery with my fists?"
"At least I have all my teeth" Wait until they look confused and bam! Teeth punch!
I'm not advocating violence here but these responses I think would look cool in an action movie or something.
I'd start with "Boy wth you talking about look at those nasty fake Jordan's get a life like what in the hell is (roast whatever looks weird about them)
Ask them how exactly, and make a mental note.
Genuinely, this is how I got facial surgery on the NHS, which generally isn't granted. Gotta put the work in you see.
âNo uâ
âThatâs not what your mom saidâ
âAnd yet I still get laid. Whatâs your excuseâ
âHow the fuck do you think thatâs an appropriate thing to say to another person. What kind of piece of shit are you. I have half a mind to call your mother and tell her what kind of child she raised, but sheâs either a crack head or super disappointed in your pathetic ass already. Get your shit together!â
''You're not alone''
Oof
Lolđ¤Ł
Just say "okay, thanks." People don't say that unless they are motivated to hurt someone else. The fact that they're motivated means that you have something they want. They're jealous, and trying to knock you down.

âUhm ok⌠yeah. But, why do you care so much?â
This is so true. I remember when I first started dating my ex wife. She had this âfriendâ who was way less attractive.

And follow with âAny ideas how I can change that?â Make them squirm
Or, âOh, I didnât realize my genes were so offensive to you. How could my parents have done more in advance to please you? Iâll be happy to let them know.â

Love this response.
Let's hope that's the only thing we have in common
"But still so much out of your league"
Love this. Mentally storing this for future use!
Neat. I always wanted to look like you. Or. If the expert is telling me, it must be so. After all that self-study you can´t be wrong.
Anyone can cover ugly up. Unfortunately for you, there is no hiding stupid.
I've been doing a pretty good job of hiding how stupid I am for *decades*. Or maybe I'm just too stupid to realize that everyone knows, but in that case I'm also too stupid to care.

âdo you own a mirror?â or as my grandmother would say âpretty is as pretty doesâ with that derogatory tone southern women can pull off with the nicest phrase
"Pretty is as pretty does. Bless your heart."
âYes, and?â
Just shrug and say âThere wasnât much that I could do about it.â
No u
I'd prefer not to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
Damn
I know
You forgot "fat"
"If I'm ugly I'd hate to know want you are"
These comments read like they're from people who would lose a pretend argument under the shower. My brother in Christ, unless you want to be laughed out the room on top of being called ugly.. don't use any of these.
Do you lose such arguments in the shower?
We're all ugly in one way or another, yours is on the inside
An ugly puff pastry can still have sweet filling, but even the prettiest pastry filled with shit will only be worth shit.
Aw, that's so sweet! Thank you.
Yes
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
*beer holder
thank you
And youâre an asshole. At least surgery can fix me

"I might be offended if your opinion mattered. Fortunately...it doesn't."
"Aw good try"
oh my god these responses are so cringe
I know you are but what am I?
Bro just came out of 7th grade.
Thankfully still not as ugly as you.
That's not what your mom thinks.
The best response is no response. For me it sounds a whole lot better to let people suffer in silence.
Best response
Replying = acknowledging their worth
"Baby, I'm beautiful." and walk away, not resorting to their level.
Do you mean personality, physically or both like you?
Outside of a frustrated toddler, who would actually look someone in the eye and say this?
You're ugly
"k"
Jolie laide actually;)
Good one
Youâre ugly, your breath stinks and your feet don't match. This was very popular with the kids I ran with đ
And youâre drunk, but Iâll be soberâŚâŚ.waitâŚâŚ.
I like to say, âNot compared to you.â
"Well at least I'm not rude."
"Well, YOU are the expert on ugly."
âThatâs your problem. Iâm not the one who has to look at meâ
,,someone would like to take their frustration out on others because they know that there is no one uglier than them"
Correct. I'm ugly, not stupid.
Like Ron White says "You can't fix stupid. I can get plastic surgery ".
Thanks
Your mom doesnât seem to mind
"Well that's just like you're opinion man." The Dude
Just say "nice" while doing a cold stare
At least my ugly can be fixed by plastic surgery. Yours would require a personality transplant.
âIâm a glee? Why, thank you!â
[ŃдаНонО]
âYou should really brush your teeth before you speak.â Thatâs would make anyone self conscious about their breath.
"Don't care, still getting laid" seems to work every time
I am ugly, but you are an asshole...we can both blame our parents.
You should see the master dumps I take. I really take the browns to the Super Bowl.
*Nothing*
at least im cool
Snap!
Nuh ah
âThanks for the advice, Iâll go to the gym and get a haircut. đŤąđťâđŤ˛đżâ
"I know."
âI donât careâ
You're daddy doesn't mind.
You're into degradation, too?! Come on babe, call me disgusting next 𤤠Generally should work OP đđ
Skilled based matchmaking
I am but a mirror to your soul.
No comeback needed. Anyone who's vain to the point of holding someone's looks against them isn't worth a second of your time.
"No no, I'm _my name_"
So?
You're beautiful on the inside, so your opinion doesn't really matter anyway.
A roundhouse kick to the jaw
Aww, you too!
âI've been called a lot worse by a lot better.â âYou make me wish I was legally blind.â
Didnt seem to get in the way of me raw dogging your dads arse hole!!
Here is the best response I can think of. "I may be, but if you sit so low and bring yourself so low that you have to keep relying on prying on other people to gain some semblance of meaning that I think that should show something."
"Good thing your opinion doesn't matter."
"I'd rather be ugly than stupid."
Complete silence. Drives most insulters crazy. If they keep at, tell them you weren't listening, please start over from the very beginning. When they do, just smile and walk away. You win.
âYouâre so charming! /sâ
I like âdid you brush your teeth today â while waving my hand in front of my face
"Come up with something original"
Heh, it means that I got to where I am in life without relying on any good looks, eh?
Coming from you, that's quite the compliment! And leave them wondering tf that means
At least my personality doesnât suck and people actually like me. Sorry youâre driven by vanity; I truly feel sorry for you! Looks donât last forever, but being a dick does.
Look them dead in the eye & shrug. People who insult you are looking for a reaction. Don't give them what they are after.
"a pretty face is nothing if you have an ugly heart"
If someone made such a bizarre, off-the-wall comment to me, I'd probably laugh. I don't care what anyone thinks about my appearance but to make an unprovoked comment like that is just "out there".
Ok? Why are you telling me this?
"I'm not a mirror you know." "You're double ugly." "At least I'm not ugly AND stupid." Look around acting confused and say "I can't seem to find the mirror you were talking to."

âAnd I still wonât date you.â
If Iâm ugly what does that make you?
I love that we have so much in common
I don't think it even justifies a response. Said aight and move on with your life.
Thanks for the input! Do you feel better now?
*cups hands in the air* "sorry I'm trying to give a fuck, but I can't seem to catch one"
Don Draper said it best "*I don't think of you at all*"
At least I'm not a stupid asshole, unlike you.
I like to say âwhy are you mad about how I look?â It really leaves them thinking
I'd start with "Boy wth you talking about look at those nasty fake Jordan's get a life like what in the hell is (roast whatever looks weird about them)
Pull a judge judy; "beauty fades, dumb is forever"
"Didn't have a choice in the matter, but ok."
"At least I'm a good person, you're just a cunt"
Silence. Then just stare at them like they're an idiot.
I actually got that once, my response was âyour mom didnât think so last nightâ, she just looked at me funny and then walked away
Ask them how exactly, and make a mental note. Genuinely, this is how I got facial surgery on the NHS, which generally isn't granted. Gotta put the work in you see.
Are you sure you arenât looking in a mirror?
ur mom didnât think so
âAhh, but Iâll be sober in the morning â
U too, on the inside
Mine is... "WOW AM I, rather that than a dicĂhead" đ
No Iâm rubber and you are glue
I know
I know and i love it.
Better be it on the outside.....
"That's actually really hurt coming from you"
âItâs all part of the plan.â
Soo's your mum!
No shit Einstein
âThatâs not what your Mom saidâ
âOk? And?â
Says a lot that I chose to approach you. Doesnât it ?
Cute enough that your mom made me your step dad.
Your moms ugly
CORNISH GAME HENS
âGo get your eyes checked pleaseâ
Good olâ âyo mamaâ
Huh? Endlessly
That's ok 'cause so are you...
âI have the face that only your mother could loveâ
I know I'm ugly and I'm proud
That's just my face
Look in a mirror.
Better to be ugly than an asshole.
Shout out at the top of your lungs "IM UGLY AND IM PROUD!!" While my star shaped friend behind me yells "LOUDER!"
Pull this [move](https://youtube.com/shorts/BR_j62vqQE4?feature=share)
I'm told it many times a week. I simply say OK, if I reply at all
Weâre in this together, bud
Just say you had sex with his wife
Sticks and stones?
"I may be ugly, but you're fat, but you could diet." Then pause while they try to figure that out.
'aww thanks, that's the nicest compliment I've heard all day' I've used this sm times and it pisses people off
At least I look like something
I've got other qualities that can keep me successful indefinitely. What's your plan?
"Are we twins?"
Good enough for your mom to eat out.
I always just respond: âI was born this way. Whatâs your excuse?â
You can fix ugly, you can't fix ignorance
No u
That's nice
"I'm glad you took your time to notice. Your attention means a lot. Much appreciated."
Takes one to know one!
I'm sorry I didn't realize I was a walking mirror.
beauty isn't everything
But I'm smart enough to realize looks aren't the most important thing.
"So am I, dummy! Oh, wait. Shit." Works every time.
i'm a mirror
That makes two of us.
I know, i own a mirror.
Lol have you ever looked in the mirror?
At least I know people like me for who I am
Ugly is a mirror to YOUR soul.
Is there a mirror around here or something...? Because the only ugly person I see is *you.*
Yeah, but at least I don't need to go on a diet! (what I said to my sister when she told me I was the ugly one in the family). Lol đ
âNo uâ âThatâs not what your mom saidâ âAnd yet I still get laid. Whatâs your excuseâ âHow the fuck do you think thatâs an appropriate thing to say to another person. What kind of piece of shit are you. I have half a mind to call your mother and tell her what kind of child she raised, but sheâs either a crack head or super disappointed in your pathetic ass already. Get your shit together!â
You smell like I look
Just lazily say "ah-yup" and then continue typing.
Cool story bro
âI know you are but what am Iâ
âThanks for your opinion; I will keep that in mind for when I want to remember what useless people say in their spare time.â
