1. rockit just told me i am like her perfect cheeseburger. she wants it and is also comforted by it.

i was ok being a cheeseburger, but apparantly the burger has ketchup on it.

atleast the cheese used wasnt american cheese.

[NewJeffCT]

14. I got compared to breakfast cereal once

It was so long ago (like maybe 15 years) that I don't really remember anything of the conversation other than the breakfast cereal comment and her almost giving me a heart attack by walking out in the middle of traffic. She then told me that since we were in Northampton, Mass, cars were required to brake for pedestrians...

I don't even remember which cereal it was now, either. But, I'm pretty sure it was a compliment.

[ThomCat]

17. Rockit's cool.

I hope she knows that. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. yeah she knows that. she gave me a new haircut. its short.

[ThomCat]

19. The dinner party is 2 weeks away.

I hope it doesn't grow out too much by then. I want to see it. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. i dont know if i can make it, it might conflict with a family event with lisa

which i am obligated to, we dont know for sure yet but will know next week.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. "If you had a budget, you'd start a war."

Stated as I explained that if I'd won the lottery, one of the things that I'd do would be to air utter non-sequitor content as commercials during the super bowl. Etcetera. I'd so some serious culture jamming. And shoot down the Muzak satellite as well.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. ..

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. ..

:rofl:

[american_typeculture]

3. Women tell me that I have nice eyelashes all the time.

I get that and nice lips and hands too.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. those are great compliments. boys often have nicer lashes than women

sigh!

[MrScorpio]

7. That I was "Philosphical"....

Like it's a bad thing. I took it as a compliment

[Aristus]

8. I've told this here before, but it bears repeating.

Had a woman tell me one time about, oh, thirteen years ago or so: "You look just like Ralph Feinnes..."

Very nice, I thought. Good looking guy.



Then she concluded: "...you know how he looked in "Schindler's List"? All fat and everything?"

Oh. Right. Strangest compliment I've ever received. :eyes:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. ohh man! thats awful. sorry

[zabet]

10. "You certainly...

pave your own roads."

I guess it was a compliment, it was said in reference to doing
things that were not normally accepted as things for women to do -
my job at the time, the fact I was the first woman this guy had
ever seen that rode a Harley to work. :shrug:

[1gobluedem]

11. "You're so lucky to live where they value your mind instead of your looks"

Meant as a compliment from a former roommate who insisted that she was an outcast at her gym because she refused to get breast implants; wishing she lived in a less superficial community. She didn't mean to imply that I wasn't attractive, I think but it sure came out that way.

[SarahB]

12. "Do you know you have great breasts?"

From men and (presumably) strait women (a few times from women I've worked with). How does one answer that? What does it even mean? I'm an open-minded individual, but in a non-intimate setting, I really have no response to that.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. Yes, yes i know`

:)

[SarahB]

16. I know you know.

Lots of things about myself I don't talk about except with close friends, so I'm like, "Do I give off some vibe even when I'm not trying to?" With men it's simple, it usually involves a lack of tact. With women in vanilla settings, I don't know how to read it.

[NewJeffCT]

15. Is that like a "Gee thanks" response?

I knew a woman once that used to have women tell her that if they got implants, they wanted their breasts to look like hers... I think she sometimes took it as a compliment.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. "I'd go out with you if I wasn't a lesbian."

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. who said that?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. Surprisingly, not you.

:P

[driver8]

34. Ha Ha -- good one! n/t

[driver8]

33. I had a girl at work tell me, "If I wasn't gay, you would be the kind of guy

I would sleep with."

Uh, thanks...I think.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

38. It's like awesome and annoying at the same time, right?

:rofl:

[driver8]

40. Exactly. I felt like saying, "Why did you need to tell me that? n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

24. my ex husband told me that

I was the dumbest smart person he had ever known.
We disagreed a LOT!

[jmm]

25. "You look great in clothes"

A friend said that to me once while we were shopping. I looked at her really confused and said, "You've never seen me naked."

Also I once had a stranger stop me to say he had a fetish for the part of a woman's leg behind her knee and mines was the sexiest he's ever seen. What do you say to that, "Ghee if I ever want to make some money online I guess I've got a new career :eyes:."

[BuddhaGirl]

26. I was walking with a friend in the downtown

area of where I live, and an old hippie-looking guy was walking toward us...he stopped right in front of me, smiled, and said, "your smile could stop the war!"

It startled me for a moment but then I thanked him and moved on. It made my day :-)

[driver8]

35. That is very cool!

That is quite a compliment!!

[jpgray]

27. What's truly strange are the compliments I haven't received

People should get going with those already.

O8)

[NMDemDist2]

28. I think you gave it to me when it was said

"AZDD6 gives the best common sense advice on DU"

:rofl:

[Crazy Dave]

29. Told that I was an "animated person"

How ya' doing today LP?:hi:

[Rob H.]

30. "You have nice hands"

or "She thinks you're cute and she really likes your voice" and from my late brother, when my hair was long and I was skinny as a rail, "Y'know, you really have a sad, poetic face." (He was an artist, so he noticed stuff like that.)

Wait. That's three, isn't it? Obviously I've never been complimented for my ability to count. ;)

[Taverner]

31. I was told I had a smooth inner thigh like a baby's

?!?!?!?!

[driver8]

32. A girl in high school told me I had the best smelling clothes.

My Mom always used Downey, I guess it worked! (Thanks, Mom!)

In college, a girl told my girlfriend that I made her "cream her jeans." I did not know the girl...(too bad!)

[skygazer]

36. My SO recently told me, "You're not THAT fat"

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. aww

:hug:

[skygazer]

39. Honestly, it just made me laugh

I'd been trying on old clothes and remarked, "Gee, I've gotten fat!" and he replied as above. Since I know darn well, he was trying to say (in his awkward way), "no, you look fine" I didn't take offense - we both laughed our asses off, actually.

He's a master of foot-in-mouth - has twice made the mistake of congratulating women who are NOT pregnant on their impending kid :wow:

But he loves me just as I am and I know it so I can laugh at his faux pas. :rofl:

[KG]

41. that i was, um, 'too big'.

i always heard size didn't matter?

[Deep13]

42. Was told that I would be a great asset for "the Lord"...

...and that it was too bad that I chose to work for Satan instead.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. ...

:rofl:

[LanternWaste]

44. "You remind me of Bambi..."

"You remind me of Bambi..."

20+ years later and I'm *still* trying to figure it out.

[LaraMN]

45. "You're really limber!" or "you smell like cocoa puffs."

:P

[billyskank]

46. Oh Lara, I bet EVERY compliment you receive is strange.

You're the most beautiful weirdo I've ever seen. :D

[LaraMN]

48. THAT is a great compliment, sweetie pie!

:hug:

You and I will never be burdened with such cumbersome labels as "normal" and "physically coordinated."

:rofl:

[billyskank]

49. Pity the poor, boring normal people who know where their feet are going.

:hug:

:loveya:

[Momgonepostal]

47. "I wish I were fatter, you know, more like you"

This was from someone who is both foreign born and perhaps mildly mentally retarded, so I cut her some slack and just laughed.

[KamaAina]

50. A repuke state rep called me "cute".

Right down the hall from her office. If she only knew...
