Is that even a compliment...?

[konkwastaken]

People kept telling me I had nice shoulders.... Umm thanks???

I get that too, my shoulders are very broad so i guess thats what they are getting at, although i still think its odd.

 

[Sark]

I've been called beautiful. I am a man. Albeit not an overly manly one, but still, that just didn't feel right.

 

[Altorin]

"You sound fatter than you actually are."

lolwut

 

[Quantana]

your handwriting looks chinees you can simply make your homework by writing: you suck, and teachers are just going to accept its awsome. ?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Teh_Lemon]

Anything with "different".

Oh gee you have a different sense of humor.

This! I've found that a lot of people say this to me, and I'm left wondering if it was actually a compliment or they were just left confused by my completely irrelevant and otherwise sarcastic humor.

Or: "Nice hat, miss." by a sales clerk. Last I checked, I was a dude.

Check more often.

 

[Blackadder51]

lol my boss said to me "im surprised ur smart enough for it"

i was like thanks.....

 

[Jandau]

I tend to give a fairly ambiguous one from time to time: "You look good in a mirror."

Fried the brain of many a female

 

[Catchy Slogan]

Some one told me I was wierd. In a good way.

They also told me I should be a serial killer. They said I just had the 'look' about me...

I just hope he becomes a connexions advisor in the future.

 

[Ashbax]

WOW! Your hair, it looks so... Jewish!!

Haha! Good one.

Id say the worst one I heard was wayy back in my teenage years, A girl I knew was talking about one of her friends "She's nice, in her own way"

I hate it when people say "In his/her own way"

 

[Fairee]

Ah, its okay... I actually think of myself as a bit of a loser, that makes me cool right? XD

Also, welcome to my thread about compliments... I see you have your 1st compliment already, and to think we were talking about this just 10 minutes ago... Weird.

hey, that does make you cool.
weird indeed. ^^
& do i get to feel privileged to be welcomed by the OP himself?

I recommend you don't feel privileged, the OP is a bit of a weird and creepy guy who chats up any girl in sight.....

Well, you are actually the only person that I have welcomed to the thread so yeah... I guess you do. But generally I am a talkative OP, I try to get involved in my own threads as mch as my internet connection and hands allow me to.

I'm sure you're just trying to beat Max in the highest post count in the shortest time......

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...

If the guy you're dating makes comments like that, he needs to be sat down for a serious talk. That kinda thing just isn't on. Sure, he may mean well, but there are better ways of saying these things. The word fat should never be used, it should always be "I can't stand stick insects, I prefer my girls a normal size", and "You're not beautiful but you're fine as you are" is pretty bad. If you don't think someone's attractive, you just avoid saying anything, you don't go and say something like that......(Sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant.)

As for me, I was told that I looked like my brother. Not just, "Oh, you can tell you guys are related", no, the idiot actually said "You look like your brother". How the hell could that be a compliment????? (I'm a girl for anyone who doesn't know.)

 

[MalevolentJim]

"You're not THAT much of a geek"
"Your eyes remind me of nigeria"
"Your ass would make a nice chair"



......

 

[Simalacrum]

I often get comments like "yeah your kinda cute, in a creepy sort of way"... yeah, thanks, I feel so appreciated... -.-

 

[SmilingKitsune]

I've been called pretty before, I'm male by the way, I take it as a compliment.
I don't know if I've ever been given a really strange compliment though.

 

[dontworryaboutit]

...What is a compliment?
I do not understand the question.

You have sexy elbows, thats a compliment. Also known as a subjective observation, often exaggerated, about another person.

A friend of mine keeps telling my ex-girlfriend that she has sexy knees. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

 

[El Poncho]

I got told my hair makes me look like one of the beatles, im not sure if thats a compliment or not.

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Girl goes to me "You remind me of like Heath Ledger and Kurt Cobain, them sort of people", I'm like, "What... dead?".

 

[dontworryaboutit]

Girl goes to me "You remind me of like Heath Ledger and Kurt Cobain, them sort of people", I'm like, "What... dead?".

Hopefully not victims of suicide (although I'm still not sure if they ruled Heath as suicide or accidental).

"You're as funny as Dane Cook."

I'm so, so sorry.

"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."

These make me sad. I'm sure you're lovely.

On a completely unrelated note, I apologize for not responding when you asked if I fancied a drink later. It appears my foul language found me at the business end of a moderator's hittin' stick and I received a three day suspension. Curse my sailor mouth.

Good ol'Grandma to my sister "your hair looks nice....from the back"

My Gf's colleague to her "wow, you have a unique look, like... a goth serial killer or something"
