Honesty between friends can sometimes spark unexpected conflict.

If a friend were brutally honest with you, would you find it hurtful or helpful?

This woman was trying to support her friend who recently joined several dating apps.

Her friend told her that men on the apps were ugly, and she couldn’t find the perfect match.

When she gave her honest feedback, her friend called her rude.

Check out the full story below for all the details.

AITA for telling my friend she’s in the same league as men she calls ugly?

My friend (19F) downloaded dating apps like Tinder and Hinge for the first time about a week ago.

For reference, she’s the type who always says she wants a boyfriend or wants to do couple things, and feels lonely single, etc.

She’s also, in my opinion, at least, very normal and average, looks-wise.

Not ugly, not super hot, just alright.

This woman asked her friend to show her the photos of the men she calls “ugly.”

Since then, she’s been complaining to me that almost all the men there are ugly, short, etc, and that she doesn’t match with anybody hot.

I asked to see which people she was calling ugly, and so she showed me her likes.

It mostly showed people perfectly in her league, as in moderately attractive guys.

She gave her her honest opinion.

I told her that these guys were all in her league and she should give some of them a chance since she always complains about wanting to be in a relationship.

She denied that she’s the same league as them and said that she’s much more attractive than them.

Now, her friend thinks she’s a jerk for making that comment.

I pointed out that, in her own words, she doesn’t match with any of the guys she does find attractive.

So she’s not in their league.

She said I was a jerk. Am I?

She obviously hurt her friend’s feelings, but is it important to be honest with a friend?

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

This person also gives their honest opinion.

Tearing down your friend isn’t the solution, says this user.

Sometimes, telling the truth can cost you a compliment or a friend.
