He knows you have self-esteem issues, right? Does he do things to build your self esteem? Such as comment on your value as a human being, tell you that you are a good person, ect? I understand that some people may see it as innappropriate to make comments about your physical beauty, but he should be helping to raise your self esteem, if you have a problem in that area. One other thing that I thought about....I would be offended if I were in your position as well. Insulted rather. I would bring it to his attention. Lay it all out on the table. Just take a big breathe and say, "Look it, I've been coming in here for _ weeks, months, years and you've never once made a nice comment about me. All of the sudden I show you a picture of my brother's floozy girlfriend and you say she's really good looking. I found that insulting! What do you have to say for yourself?" Say it! What is the worst that can happen? Tell him how you feel!! You can do it!
