I always try to see things from both points of view but can't come up with any valid reasons or justifications for what you're describing. I could see him letting you know there was a specific dress code for an event he invited you to or something so you wouldn't feel out of place, but day-to-day, no.
As a general rule, unless it's out of concern for health or safety, or you were asking for advice, don't tolerate sentences that start with “You should…” or “You need to…”.
It sounds like he's immature and more concerned with having obedient arm candy than he is about your feelings. Comparing you to other women he sees IRL or gets off to live is just…ewww. Start suggesting he make himself look more like other guys that you find attractive and see how that goes over.
Yeah, time to nope on outta there. If it were a longer-term relationship and something he had just started doing, it might be worth addressing further, but if it's like this right out of the gate, it's a lost cause. Cut your losses and move on. I think you probably know this in your heart; trust yourself and find someone who appreciates you the way you are.

Really surprised you haven’t brought this up to her for 6 years.
He’s lying and that’s a dick move
