A man has sparked a lengthy debate online after he revealed the reason why his girlfriend got extremely angry at him.

He took to Reddit and explained that his girlfriend and friends were talking about their celebrity crushes.

But he got himself into trouble when he told her that he didn’t think she was the most beautiful woman on Earth.

“I think Katie is very beautiful, but she isn’t the most beautiful woman on Earth, so I’ve never told her that,” he wrote.

“All our friends were looking at me, and I felt pressured. ‘I felt like saying yes but I didn’t want to lie, and she’d never stop boasting about it. She’s kind of proud, one of her bad traits.

“I honestly felt quite cornered and I admitted that no, she wasn’t the most beautiful woman.”

He continued: “I tried to be polite but of course, my response sounded like s***. I immediately apologized.

“Katie looked so upset, and I felt really bad. She ended up leaving the place and she texted me saying I embarrassed her in front of all her friends and that I was an a**hole. I tried apologizing again but she wouldn’t listen.”

However, people couldn’t decide who was in the wrong, the man or his girlfriend.

One person wrote: “All you had to say was yes…”

Another said: “There was no right answer. It was a trap.”

A third added: “It’s an easy one, really – it just requires a compliment. Not a lot of thought, just smiling, nodding, and agreeing with her.”

Someone else commented: “Dude, she was asking for it, tryna corner you like that. Sounds like a control thing if you ask me. Fishing for compliments is always unattractive and gets toxic really fast. Not mature on her part at all.”
