Let me give an example. Lets call them Alice and Harry. Alice asks Harry out and he rejects her and he says to her 'you're objectively good looking but not my type and I don't find you attractive' and she keeps repeatedly asking him what he thinks of her looks and slowly there are more negative comments. The next time she asks he says 'you're quite good looking but when you speak you look worse, don't turn to the side your front profile looks better', they discuss looks later on more and he says you don't have a kind face and I am attracted to kind approachable faces. Alice feels theres alot of contradictions so she messages him later and confronts him about why hes contradicting what he thinks about her looks and he says I don't know you well enough to know if you want me to be brutally honest but in summary if you like...
He then says you have a model look but you have too many harsh features so it is hard to objectively place you, I can understand if someone rated you a 3 or 4 but also an 8 or 9, your upper lip protrudes too much, your chin sticks out in the side profile, your nose is too large. You have a polarising face etc
He goes into alot of specific detail
My question is, is there a possibility he may have been jealous or negging her since I dont think jealousy works in that way as in if he was jealous wouldn't he have been mean to her looks right from the start? Do you think its pretty obvious he was being honest and didn't have any ill intent. Obvs you don't know the reason for a fact but all I want to know if jealousy a possible reason in this context
