What's the relationship context?
Well, LW's already written back that she's going to have a civil talk with boyfriend.
Still, I can't help but be curious (mostly on behalf of many others who deal with this) about the context of it all.
IF he really does blatantly scope other women as opposed to merely notice them:
She's been seeing him for a year. Was he always like this, and she's tired of dealing with it? In that case, it's a natural time in the evolution of a relationship to stop pretending that you like what you don't, and get real with your mate.
If it's a new development, it can signal that their relationship is fizzling.
And either way, if he's being "appreciative" of strangers but never gives her a compliment or is otherwise taking her hugely for granted, that's BIG trouble.
