Is that even a compliment...?

[Xan Krieger]

I told a girl she had torpedoes big enough to sink the bismarck as a compliment (I thought it was nice to tell a girl she had a nice chest.). She knocked the glasses clear off my face. I don't really understand why she took it as an insult.

If genuinely don't understand why that is unbelievably rude, then you deserved deserve a smack on purely Darwinian grounds.

I genuinely don't understand. If you know the reason then please explain because I thought I was being nice.

Being told i "Look like Elvis" Elvis is lame

I've been told: "Wow. If I was a boy, I'd go gay for you."

I was quite flattered.

 

[Walrus42]

"Aww your stomach is so chubby and fun to poke."

 

[LilGherkin]

"You're as funny as Dane Cook."

 

[Obsessive_Monkey]

how about.. "Your Cute" Seeing as everyone has there own different interpretation on the word "Cute" it can mean just about anything.

I don't grow hair (alopecia) however, I could at some point just start sprouting an afro or mullet or some such. That is just the way it works...not knowing this I get a lot of people that say "Well you would look horrible with hair, so at least there is that to remember!"

Fantastic except that I had hair until I was 12, and could at anytime (anytime it feels like it that is) start to grow it back. So now I will have a complex (if) on that joyous day when the hair starts to sprout. Thanks friends....

Now whenever someone asks if I shave my head...I just aviod the awkwardness and tell them I have cancer.....

"You're good at this game... for a girl."

...Bastard.

"Your tits are nicer than your sisters."

...Thankyou?

"You play a lad really well in plays."

OH, and the 'compliments' my boyfriend has given me:
'You have nice fat thighs'
Needless to say, his body is still hanging in my wardrobe.

'Your face is fat and cute'

'You're not beautiful but you're fine as you are'

and my favourite

'You're an ugly duckling now, but you'll grow into a beautiful swan' (before our relationship).

Hmm, why am I with him again...

Making comments about a woman's breasts, especially about their size, is generally considered rude, offensive behavior, and this ain't some new-fangled feminist idea. If you'd tried it 100 years ago, you would have been smacked too. The fact that you claim to be unaware of this means that you are either a troll, or that I would have to spend far to much time backfilling the astonishing gaps in your social education. Either way, I would rather sleep and play WoW than attempt to extricate your head.

You look really good without your glasses on to which I replied you don't look to bad with out them on either

 

[Renie]

Any compliment followed by "for a [insert demographic here]"

Example: You play baseball really good....for a girl.

You dance good...for a white guy.

Because you are hoping he means well. Well from my point of view he means well.

I hate getting the you arn't ugly, you are just different ones.

Someone once told me I have the mind of a ten-year-old. Which is half my age. At least I took it as a compliment at the time.

 

[Disaster Button]

"You're adorable! In a weird sorta way"
I've had weirder but that's the only one that springs to mind at the mo

Heh, I also know a guy who, when asked by a girl "Do my hips look big in this?" answered "Yes."
She didn't speak to him for a week.

 

[AngloDoom]

"Sly".

That used to be my nickname, too. So people used to say I was "Sly". While that sounds like I'm some awesome Gambit-style dashing rouge, but it also makes me sound like I'm evil and a little bit creepy, in my opinion.

 

[Disaster Button]

"You have a great handwriting... you know, for a guy..."

I've had that one too. Also got told, "You write like a girl." Which I actually think was an insult.
