A friend just put somesuggestive pictures of herselfon her MySpace page. I don’tknow what to do, I’m no looker,but I don’t post pictures ofmyself online with the caption”Purrrr… Pet the sexy kitty!”How do I tell my friend shedoesn’t have the “right stuff”without hurting her feelings?
You can’t tell her she is notattractive because she’ll eitherdeny it or hate you, so you canforget about that.
This leaves you with twooptions: “Plan A” is to bring upthe topic from the back door, bybringing up the topic of pictureson MySpace. You can start it bysaying “I swear some people arejust trashy,” or “I can’t believepeople use MySpace as adating service.” Hopefully thismight get her to think abouther pictures, and maybe evenchange them.
“Plan B” is take a lot ofphotos with her that aren’tso terrible. Then simply tellher you are addicted to fixingMySpace pages and can updatehers.
Tell her you just wantpeople to see the new her. Tellher the pictures of her are oldand they don’t show off hernew bod or her pretty face. Getthe password, and you’re in.
Update the photos and tweakher page a bit to go along withthe whole “I wanna fix yourpage” scheme. You can go tosleep with a clear conscienceknowing there are no more ofthose pictures floating around.
