What would you do if your boyfriend was commenting on a girls picture who is either naked or in her underwear saying how hot she is, but yet takes the mick out of you and called you tubbo, and that you looked a bit slaggy for wearing a low cut top and jeans? It's really knocking my confidence now and it keeps happening. Help!

he shouldn't be doing that thats messing with your head.
i'd honestly sit down speak to him and tell him what he's doing and how would he like that if it was the other way round!

It is not about a wandering eye or an appreciation for the human forum - it is emotional abuse. Whether he could even articulate what is going on or not, he knows exactly what he is doing. Through watching unhealthy relationships (his parents, friends, grandparents or other relation), he has learned how to tear someone down and what kind of control that gives him.
I know the pattern because I lived in it. Eventually, once we had moved to an area where I had no friends and family, the emotional abuse turned into physical and sexual abuse. After I got out of the relationship, I learned that my situation was absolutely typical.
In the beginning, my particular douchebag made comments about how smart, capable, and beautiful other women were and then ridicule my art, family, work and even the music I listened to - always in a "haha you know I'm just kidding" way so that I would look totally crazy if I took it seriously, but it was serious because he was using it to push me further and further down. By the time the other abuse started, he would just outright insult me but I was so use to being cut down that I barely even noticed the slow transition.

That just completely pissed me off how my innocent piercing is trashy but hers are so hot.

As for the matter at hand:
It would be one thing if he were just commenting on other girls. That's not something to worry about on it's own. However, if he is coupling that with degrading comments about you, that is a sign of emotional and psychological abuse, whether he is doing it intentionally or not, and either way, you don't deserve it.
First, I would confront him. Ask him why he makes those comments about you (don't even approach the subject of his comments about other girls, he'll get defensive, and think you're just being jealous). If he says he's trying to help you, explain that there are other ways to do that that aren't mean and hurtful.
Second, if he doesn't seem to work on changing his ways at all, I would get the hell out of that relationship before I got to caught up in his mind games. He is not loving you the way he should be, and there ARE other people who will, no matter what he says. He's just insecure himself, and is desperately trying to keep you with him, even if it means to your detriment.

My suggestion would be to point out the guys you find attractive, and see what he does about it.
