Hurt. Tim made a "joke" that he needs to fatten me up more so no one will want me... He apologized but I wish he could have maybe come up with something nice to say about me. I already feel like I gave next to no good qualities.....

With somewhat dry, self-deprecating humor like that you've got to read between the lines. It was a nice comment about you, albeit indirectly and at the expense of betraying a little insecurity on his part. He's saying that as you are now, he see's you as being very desirable — perhaps more so than he feels he deserves, and thus he's joking that he should make you less desirable so someone won't swoop in and steal you away from him. It may not have seemed like it at the time, but it was a compliment.

Yeah I get the joke and why he said it. I also get that the punch line infers that I don't have any other qualities that attract people. Or value beyond that. Mostly I'm upset that he couldn't name anything good about me other than "smart" and "pretty" when pressed.
So I guess I better not ever get fat(ter). Apparently not being ugly (ATM) is my best quality. >_>
