When I was younger often dated men who said this sort of thing in the name of "honesty" and I hate hate hate it.
People aren't aware of their own motivations and honestly I think the actual motivation in most cases was to take me down a peg or two.

At least I always told them that I hated it and never tried to convince myself to think it was brilliant.

When I was engaged, we promised to be honest to one another--and I meant it, especially when it would have been better not to--but even I wasn't stupid enough to say anything like this, lol.

I don't personally want my partner to lie, but I don't ask questions if I don't want answers to them. He volunteered this info and he didn't have to.

It's a no-win for the dude. Tell 'em (honestly) they're beautiful for long enough and they go "You're only saying that because you love me".
I still do, though, even though she doesn't believe me. :D
