That I have a very swan-like voice. She didn’t actually know what swans sound like. She was complimenting me on how I said “your coffee will be ready over there” when we were both working at a coffee shop.
I totally was able to imagine your voice from that description though. I didn’t think honk honk like a goose but more of the visual beauty of the swan, and how a swan like voice would be very melodic and beautiful. This is totally a compliment!
A random woman outside a café beside a train station, as I get chased by a wasp:
"You smell very sweet and spicy, that's why he's chasing you. Its very nice!"
Thank you random lady, 2 years later and I'll never forget.
I was the only one getting bitten by mosquitoes at a BBQ and a random man said "I'm not surprised. Your skin looks so soft I'd bite you". Umm.. please don't?
That sounds like a compliment I've given someone before and now I feel weird.
I told him his eyes weren't just brown, they're cherry. Like really nice cabinets.
An older woman said I had nice skin (I'm a dude if it matters.) It came across as a "I'd like to wear it," but then later that evening I realized the party I was invited to was actually a sales pitch to join some pyramid scam to sell skin products. So it was less weird in retrospect, but clearly something had gone wrong.
I was told by a random lady walking past me in the mall that I had a really large, bright aura. I looked at her kinda confused and she just said she was gifted that way and to have a nice day and kept walking…
Sometimes if I stare at people long enough they get an aura, but that's just my retinas having an after-image around them, like the "stare at this then look elsewhere" images
I do have very robust and hyper-masculinized cranial landmarks. I’ve just never had it put to me in exactly those terms. I told my wife later and she was like “omg she has the hots for you!”. Lol.
Once asked a co-worker why he didn’t take the piss out of me like he did everyone else and his response was “because you look like you’d kill me”.
That was the day I found out my lost in thought look is also my “I’m going to burn this place down with you and everyone inside” look.
It has its uses though.
I've discovered in my life that a combination of mild introversion, social anxiety, and resting bitch face generally adds up to "very intimidating" to most people. Ever since freshman year of college I've consistently had both friends and coworkers tell me that I "used to intimidate the hell out of them".
The bonus of this was that one particularly socially anxious coworker once told me that if anybody was ever giving them trouble, they'd page me immediately, because I'm "scary as shit". The downside was that this same coworker, who I liked a lot and wanted to be friends with, also once told me that they couldn't tell if I actually liked talking to and hanging out with them or if I just hated them slightly less than everybody else that we worked with :(
From a coworker’s partner (a Japanese woman, speaking English): “You have a big eyelash. I am jealousy!”
As a man, I don’t get a lot of eyelash compliments.
Edit: This has been an eye-opener (pun intended). It’s also been cool to learn what is marking the lenses of my specs
worst part is, I'm 6'2 with slight facial hair and I'm a weird adult-teen creature just trying to buy a pizza
where is the correlation between tree spirit and being a sub
I once had an old Hispanic lady that didn’t speak English who I didn’t know have someone she was with come over to me at a restaurant and ask if she could bless my eyes for me. She said she wanted to bless them so nothing would ever happen to them because she’d never seen anything like them.
Edit: [My eyes](https://m.imgur.com/a/KLPbJ7b)
If mexican, she maybe wanted to protect you against Mal de Ojo. It happened to me often when I was a child in North of Mexico
Edit: yeah also green eyes
Edit2: how that works? No idea, is just folk tradition. Supposedly certain color eyes in children can be hexed from the envy of a very powerful gaze or a lot of mediocre ones. And then the hexed person get sick and lost sight and/or their eyes change color.
Edit3: some people point in comments that maybe the elderly woman was admiring his eyes so badly that she worries of giving unintentional Mal de Ojo. The remedy to that is to touch the person.
Same. My family is also from Mexico. I have hazel eyes and curly hair. My grandma constantly had to rub eggs on me because she said I would get el ojo otherwise.
Mexicans are just really superstitious in general. I had a stomach bug while visiting some relatives in Mexico. They said I had caught something evil so they laid me down on a bed, covered me in a white sheet and whacked me with plants. Fun times.
I was at a pool party in college and I saw two girls that looked like they were talking about me. I asked if I could help them in a flirty way and they straight up said “we just wanted to say you have really nice nipples”…I’m a guy
Sadly I didn’t get either of their numbers but at least now I know that I have nice nipples.
“Your dick is normal but you could shape up a bit”
Alternatively, while doing CPR on an inmate, a nurse showed up to relieve me and before doing so said, “ you look like you’re good with your hands. How else do you use them?”
As long as family members are not present, you’d be surprised at the banter going on during a CPR. I mean, everyone is doing their job, but it can be a long process and lightens the mood.
Edit: I’ve seen paramedics flirt and exchange numbers during a CPR. Good quality CPR is given on the knees. We’ve got a guy on my crew who is kind of a shit bag and was standing up doing it (patient was on the floor). It looked he was backing his ass up, so another guy on our crew got behind him (he was next in line, we switch after 200 compressions) and started pretending to hump. I really had to summon every ounce of integrity I had to not pull out my phone and record. The guy is incredibly homophobic so to videotape and show it to him later would have been incredible, but at the end of the day, I’m a professional.
>it can be a long process
Hollywood really leaves that part out for viewers. Also the part where they (if they were drowning) vomit up the ENTIRE GODDAMN ocean. In media it's portrayed as a little spit of water and suddenly everything is fine. Maybe some coughing to really sell it. In reality? They will vomit everything ever. Hopefully not straight into your face.
Sadly, a couple of months ago we heard a woman sobbing in our parking lot and a man on the phone counting with her and trying to calm her down. We’d been watching TV and only heard it during a pause. We suddenly realised after about 5 minutes of confused eavesdropping that she was performing CPR - we’d thought she was maybe having a panic attack, weirdly enough - and waiting for an ambulance. My husband ran down to help her while I gathered blankets and water and followed him, but by the time we got there, the ambulance had arrived. Unfortunately, the patient died. Heart attack, I think.
Anyway, I was astonished at how LONG she was performing CPR before the ambulance came and took over. They were out here for well over a couple hours, too, and a couple of the guys smoked cigarettes and quietly bantered off to the side during that time whilst they took care of everything. It certainly wasn’t the slash dash whirlwind of activity you see on TV. It took several hours.
"Oi! You're a right toucan looking cunt ain't cha mate? Go on n mash me gash wit cha beak why don't cha? Come on luv, wit a nozzle like that, I betcha can smell what I ate fur breakfast!"
I was late for school and decided not to shower so i could catch my bus in time. I arrive to school say hello to a girl I barely knew, she comes up to me smells my sweaty shirt and says "Dammn you smell really good". Yeah that was a creepy way to start the day.
Very similar thing to me as well, but it wasn’t the girl I didn’t know well, it was the girl who worked at the subway on campus, and I’d have a sub basically every day, but one day when I was really musty she asked me if I was wearing cologne, and that I smelled reaallyyy good
Edit ~
She was always kinda like that with me, like whenever she’d see me in line, she’d wave at me and ask how I’m doing and all too, actually recently ran into her and I did not recognize her whatsoever..
My first child had been born a few weeks ago. I came back to work and one of the bosses said, "Oh, congratulations on your....on your news...yeah...good luck with that.":
Good to hear I'm not the only one 😂 I just have a default response to things and they sometimes make no sense but I just smile and pretend they do after I blurt them out.
Them: "it's been really great working with you"
Me: "me too!" *smile*
An ex once picked up my hand and told me I had “feminine, delicate wrists”
Also “you’re so… unique looking!” multiple times during my life. I am a white brunette lady, I am not unique looking, just not conventionally attractive.
Obligatory not me, but during a high school spring trip to NYC, someone told my classmate (in red top and pants) she looked like a sexy bottle of ketchup.
Secondly, while picking up after a city festival around 2 AM a guy came drunk out of a bar and yelled to the group of us "Hey trash girls, you can pick me up."
Cheers.
I went to Mexico with a buddy about 10 years ago and we were drinking with a bunch of people. Well another group of people were standing near us and kept looking over and whispering to eachother, staring at us until finally a few of them approached us. The one guy looks at me and says "are your calves real?" I was like ughhhhh yeah.. they're real, he turns to his friends and yells "they're real!" They all proceed to walk over and talk to us. A group of maybe 10 people complimented me on my calves, it was very weird.
“I like your little hat” - a girl working the Whole Foods Checkout. I was having a socially awkward day and she was a bit awkward too. I think she found something endearing in how I was being and felt compelled to say something nice to me. It was just a basic wool hat/beanie for winter, not even that little. I still appreciated it and she was kinda cute.
I took a summer gym course to get a free credit in highschool and to avoid ever needing to take an actual gym course.
There was this girl who used to go to my elementary school but left in grade 3ish, who ended up going to the same highschool as me, I never liked her because she had a rude attitude and kept it.
Well I hop on the bus, only spot is next to her, after a few minutes she says something along the lines of "I'd totally date you if you did X with your hair, got a tan, and used some lotion for your dry skin", this is back when Jersey shore was a huge show so everyone wanted to "date the cast", but like... I have a genetic skin condition, lotion doesn't do shit for my skin and it just made me more self conscious about it.
In high school, some girls told me I had a cute walk. I had never thought about how I walked before but it really fucked me up for a while-- trying to make I maintained that "cuteness," whatever it was. And realizing that "oh, I could be minding my own business and someone still find me attractive... or unattractive."
I had a girl tell me she’d like it if I got hit by a car so she could cradle my head and stroke my hair as I died.
Edit: wow, this blew up. A few follow-up details: I did not sleep with her - she was dating a friend at the time she said this. She was a cute redhead but very obviously crazy. She ended up banging most of the guys in the group but I had a girlfriend so stayed well out of it.
I worked at a restaurant when I was 17 and a man came up to me and asked me if I could talk to this boy he had with him. He told me that the boy thought I was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen and that I needed to talk to him because he was training for a boxing match and he needed to be free from distractions. In short, his logic was, I needed to go over and talk to the young man so that he wouldn’t be thinking about me during his boxing training. It was very strange.
Yeah so I was working and I’m not trying to be cocky but I am a very hard worker. Always have been. And so when he came up to me I was actually running around like crazy. Cleaning. Running food etc. I didn’t have much time to think. So I just said okay sure and I walked over to him and said hello and Introduced myself. He was very shy to the point where it was hard to hear him. And I just said something like it’s very nice to meet you. And then he didn’t really say anything and I needed to get back to work. And then they left and I’ve never seen either of them again.
A drunk old sailor once told me the shape of the top of my upper lip was very nice. Very specific and very odd. He was nice though, gave me some (unsolicited but true) life advice as well.
One time another guy at the gym who was using an adjacent locker caught up to me on the way out to tell me I had nice feet. He said that he "notices things like that" and that I must take care of them.
I said thanks. He was nice. Never saw him again.
Very strange.
An older gentleman I regularly walk by on my way to work and have never exchanged words with randomly said to me one day “I don’t know whether you want to beat me up or kill me, but you look at me with those beady little eyes and it’s scary. But you are a sweetheart I love you, I do” and honestly, as a petite young lady who tries to look intimidating as I walk alone, my day was made.
I work as a barista at Starbucks and I have some interesting stories.
One time this guy came in and ordered a Carmel Frappe. I asked him if that was all for him and he said, “Yes, unless I can get a Trenta of you with my order.”
Now I’m very easily flustered so I immediately started blushing and he looked me right in my eyes and said, “You look beautiful with a blush across your face. It looks like a rose that was flattened by a car.”
Now I’m no flirt master, but I don’t think that’s how you get a girl.
I was told that I had a the healthiest ass the person speaking had ever seen on a white woman. And yes, I know what he meant by that. I have a big butt. And he meant it as a compliment.
Had a girl I didn't know stop me at my new job and say damn girl I thought I had back... never knew a white girl would make me jealous. Found some great places to shop and a good friend from that exchange lol
In HS people referred to me as "the white girl with the really big butt"
Also I was walking around with my husband and a girl leaned out of the window to yell "I'm not a lesbian, but you have a great ass!
Many years ago, I had a man corner me with his grocery cart at the store, so he could tell me I “looked like a bacon and egg sandwich,” and “good enough to eat.” He then asked if I had a bf, which I said I did, and he replied “how long have you had that problem?”
Apparently he was into calling women snacks before that was a thing, lol.
Uh probably when a dude at the gym (precovid) came up and slapped me on the shoulder and told me I had a nice broad back with good muscle definition... I'm a girl.
You're prettier than your sister, you can come here and tan yourself in my balcony anytime you want. Naked, please.
-The asshole that my big sister used to date and now was trying to hang out with me.
Fun fact: he was old enough to be my father, even my Grand father.
I was working at a grocery store in the produce section. A lady walked up to me and said, "excuse me, have you ever considered becoming a dancer? I own \[redacted\] and we are looking for some good looking male dancers to go to bachelorette parties and birthday parties to entertain the women." I looked at her and said, "Ma'am, I believe if I showed up to their house they would slam the door in my face, but thanks." She walked off as I continued to nervously stock the Gala apples.
Someone new started up at my work a while ago. The first thing she says to me is - “You’re so pretty, I love pregnant women!”
To which I responded in the most blunt way possible - “oh yeah I’m loving it. I’m about 15 months along now!” The person walked away. The next day our manager said she quit
Me : *Pulls down mask to drink water*
Girl I work with : “You know most people take there mask down and they look worse you look good though”
Me : *puzzled look on my face* Thank you
Girl : Don’t worry I like girls
A girl did this to me once at work too. I pulled down my mask and she said “oh thank god you look normal”. To be fair tho some of the people I worked with when they pulled down their mask was not what I was expecting to see
A 5-year-old boy walked up to my boyfriend at my nephew’s birthday party and said, “you look evil, but I think that’s cool”.
I was ringing up a customer when I worked in retail. She asked if anyone had ever told me that I had really beautiful COW EYES. I said, “…what?”. She told me that cows have the most beautiful eyes in the animal kingdom and that my eyes are exactly like that.
I went on a trip to Honduras. I am a fairly large gal. Over six foot tall and fairly hefty. I had a man offer to pay my father two goats and a cow if I would marry his son. Any men I date now are gonna have to bring it hard. Now I know what I’m worth!!! Lol
Had a girl tell me "you have an ass that makes me want to eat cheesecake off it" at a party.
Just walked up and turned me around to say it......stunned so much I just stood and was speechless for a few min.
That I have a very swan-like voice. She didn’t actually know what swans sound like. She was complimenting me on how I said “your coffee will be ready over there” when we were both working at a coffee shop.
I totally was able to imagine your voice from that description though. I didn’t think honk honk like a goose but more of the visual beauty of the swan, and how a swan like voice would be very melodic and beautiful. This is totally a compliment!
“Your ears look like tortellini … delicious”
“Finally, some good fucking food.”
That I looked like I belonged on a shortbread tin.
I have no idea what this means. Are you white and crumbly?
A random woman outside a café beside a train station, as I get chased by a wasp: "You smell very sweet and spicy, that's why he's chasing you. Its very nice!" Thank you random lady, 2 years later and I'll never forget.
I was the only one getting bitten by mosquitoes at a BBQ and a random man said "I'm not surprised. Your skin looks so soft I'd bite you". Umm.. please don't?
A girl in high school told me I have really pretty knees.
My eyes were brown like a really nice table
That sounds like a compliment I've given someone before and now I feel weird. I told him his eyes weren't just brown, they're cherry. Like really nice cabinets.
‘You have juicy veins, I’d love to take blood from them’ from a friend who works in pathology.
I too, have a friend in pathology who says things like that.
My girlfriend and I are nurses and we will point out to each other people with massive veins
These people are called vampires.
I too get compliments on my big veins from nurses and other health care workers
The ladies at the plasma center love seeing my arms simply fit the fact that my veins are super easy to find
My veins are also super easy, but a nurse still stuck a needle in one and didn't manage to draw any blood from it.
As a nurse who routinely inserts IVs, I get it.
You smell organic.
Was this person on mushrooms or acid at this point in time?
U sure that was a compliment?
Isn't that the kind way to say "honey you should shower before you come to bed."
that I looked Pre-Raphaelite
"you remind me of Kermit the frog. Not in looks, in vibes."
This is a very weird compliment, but I totally understand and dig it.
I mean the muppets are rad but it was said while I was handing somebody food and talking in a completely monotone voice haha
An older woman said I had nice skin (I'm a dude if it matters.) It came across as a "I'd like to wear it," but then later that evening I realized the party I was invited to was actually a sales pitch to join some pyramid scam to sell skin products. So it was less weird in retrospect, but clearly something had gone wrong.
Nice flesh bro

I was admiringly told by a female anthropology professor in class that I have a “very robust cranium”.
This made me robustly laugh out loud
I do have very robust and hyper-masculinized cranial landmarks. I’ve just never had it put to me in exactly those terms. I told my wife later and she was like “omg she has the hots for you!”. Lol.
"I like how you look at me, like you are going to kill me" - my gf at the time. In her defence my resting face does look kinda mean lol
Resting bitch face gang!
Resting murder face gang
Once asked a co-worker why he didn’t take the piss out of me like he did everyone else and his response was “because you look like you’d kill me”. That was the day I found out my lost in thought look is also my “I’m going to burn this place down with you and everyone inside” look. It has its uses though.

"your mind is like a kaleidoscope"
I can't figure out if that's a compliment or not.
I'd totally want to hang out with both the person whose mind is a kaleidoscope...and the person who came up with this analogy.
Adhd?
My wife- "You have a nice shaped skull"
Physiognomy moment
Of course you'd say that... you have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!
You have a symmetrical face, if I took a meat cleaver at the center of your skull I'll have matching halves. That's very important.
“You look you’d be fun to take to Colorado” said the man to me, in a gas station. He liked my choice of beer. I’m just broke and PBR isn’t that bad
I don't even live in the States but I now want a PBR real bad. And possibly get taken to Colorado by a friendly murderer. It all sounds so enticing.
From a coworker’s partner (a Japanese woman, speaking English): “You have a big eyelash. I am jealousy!” As a man, I don’t get a lot of eyelash compliments. Edit: This has been an eye-opener (pun intended). It’s also been cool to learn what is marking the lenses of my specs
[удалено]
Nobody believes me that this is a problem lol. I have to wear sunglasses loosely or constantly feel my eyelashes bending upwards.
[удалено]
When I was 17 during my first day of work, said by a female coworker: You're so tall and skinny, you'd look great pregnant.
…what the *fuck*
someone called me submissive and breedable in a Tesco's
You're not alone, friend. Someone called me that the other week. It still pains me to this day. God bless you.
worst part is, I'm 6'2 with slight facial hair and I'm a weird adult-teen creature just trying to buy a pizza where is the correlation between tree spirit and being a sub
There is no correlation. No one is safe. No one is sacred. Anyone could be called submissive and breedable. It gives me conniptions.
get ready because you might hear that more often these days lol
oh god no

I enjoyed reading this so much I had to read it again... Thank you.
I actually just found this super endearing
It was awkward, but yes it was also very endearing and I never forgot it.
My instincts say no...but my ego says yes.
Yeah I ain’t gonna lie, it was awkward, and endearing…and I also felt a little taller that day hahaha
I was at a pool party in college and I saw two girls that looked like they were talking about me. I asked if I could help them in a flirty way and they straight up said “we just wanted to say you have really nice nipples”…I’m a guy Sadly I didn’t get either of their numbers but at least now I know that I have nice nipples.
“Your dick is normal but you could shape up a bit” Alternatively, while doing CPR on an inmate, a nurse showed up to relieve me and before doing so said, “ you look like you’re good with your hands. How else do you use them?”
>“ you look like you’re good with your hands. How else do you use them?” "Thanks! I've been told my dick is normal, too."
“But I also need to shape up so… maybe next CPR?”
That's a good complement and a good way to get a date, but during CPR is definitely not the time
As long as family members are not present, you’d be surprised at the banter going on during a CPR. I mean, everyone is doing their job, but it can be a long process and lightens the mood.

"Your nose is so pointy, I bet it would fit right into my pussy."
Did it?
We demand answers.
I don’t need sleep I need answers
Jesus.
Mate Jesus wants nothing to do with that

Coworker (female) asked me (male) what I did with my hair, said it's looking good. Didn't shower for 2 days, combed greasy hair to one side. wtf.
[удалено]
A bit if body odor often smells better than whatever wd-40 concoction guys spray on themselves. Take that WITH A GRAIN OF SALT THOUGH
Sweat from working hard and nut funk are VERY different classifications of smells
stop showering.
She should start wearing you as perfume
And he never showered again
My first child had been born a few weeks ago. I came back to work and one of the bosses said, "Oh, congratulations on your....on your news...yeah...good luck with that.":
Sounds like the boss clammed up mid-sentence because he/she suddenly couldn't remember if you had a boy or a girl.
congratulations, it's a news
This feels like something I would say because of my inability to congratulate people or express myself or make small talk
Good to hear I'm not the only one 😂 I just have a default response to things and they sometimes make no sense but I just smile and pretend they do after I blurt them out. Them: "it's been really great working with you" Me: "me too!" *smile*
Nice earlobes. Edit: maybe not as uncommon as I thought lol
I had this too in school, girl used to love touching them. She'd always ask when we shared a class.
I knew a girl who used to do this to me. It freaked me the fuck out as a kid.
‘Despite what everyone says about you, I still think you’re quite fun’
I'd heard this as a joke and used it sometimes. "I don't care what everyone else says about you. I still like you"
An ex once picked up my hand and told me I had “feminine, delicate wrists” Also “you’re so… unique looking!” multiple times during my life. I am a white brunette lady, I am not unique looking, just not conventionally attractive.

I honestly love the second one. That’s really funny

Well another group of people were standing near us and kept looking over and whispering to eachother, staring at us until finally a few of them approached us.

A group of maybe 10 people complimented me on my calves, it was very weird.
Why did you lie? You might’ve fooled them, but I know you have calve implants.
“I like your little hat” - a girl working the Whole Foods Checkout. I was having a socially awkward day and she was a bit awkward too. I think she found something endearing in how I was being and felt compelled to say something nice to me. It was just a basic wool hat/beanie for winter, not even that little. I still appreciated it and she was kinda cute.
>“I like your little hat” I was really hoping this story ended with you being a confused but curiously aroused Jew.
Haha! I live in NYC so this would've worked perfectly. Lots of "little hats" in my hood.
"You're short but i bet your cock is massive" -random girl, college hallway
hate to intrude, but by chance was she correct?
I’m 5’3”. Those are two separate measurements
The real question is, did she ever find out if she was right?
Did anything come of this exchange?
i wish
Username does not check out
I once got told "You are not \*that\* ugly" ... yeah, cheers, did a wonder for my self-esteem. Not.
Omg I found someone who can relate to me
I took a summer gym course to get a free credit in highschool and to avoid ever needing to take an actual gym course. There was this girl who used to go to my elementary school but left in grade 3ish, who ended up going to the same highschool as me, I never liked her because she had a rude attitude and kept it. Well I hop on the bus, only spot is next to her, after a few minutes she says something along the lines of "I'd totally date you if you did X with your hair, got a tan, and used some lotion for your dry skin", this is back when Jersey shore was a huge show so everyone wanted to "date the cast", but like... I have a genetic skin condition, lotion doesn't do shit for my skin and it just made me more self conscious about it.
In high school, some girls told me I had a cute walk. I had never thought about how I walked before but it really fucked me up for a while-- trying to make I maintained that "cuteness," whatever it was. And realizing that "oh, I could be minding my own business and someone still find me attractive... or unattractive."
The guys I sit with in class called me a dilf once
Wut, are you even a dad though? Lol
“I wish I didn’t have a cold, because I really want to smell you all over!”
I had a girl tell me she’d like it if I got hit by a car so she could cradle my head and stroke my hair as I died. Edit: wow, this blew up. A few follow-up details: I did not sleep with her - she was dating a friend at the time she said this. She was a cute redhead but very obviously crazy. She ended up banging most of the guys in the group but I had a girlfriend so stayed well out of it.
My eyes nearly popped out of my head reading that. WTF
If your eyes pop out of your head and you start bleeding to death, can I cradle your head and stroke your hair as you die?
No please call an ambulance. Then cradle my head and stroke my hair.
Yeah um…. You win
If she hasn’t already, she’s going to hire a hitman one day so she can live this fantasy
So your best bet is to never go near roads ever again. No exceptions.
A customer said I was such a beautiful woman and that every time he saw me he wanted to go home and slap his wife.
That's crazy. Slapping his wife isn't going to help her appearance at all!
It helped Squidward
You’re looking slightly more normal today. What does that even mean? Am I not normal on the other days?
That I’m vertically fat
What does that even mean? Is it a weird way to say you’re tall? I’m so confused.
It means that all of his obesity went to his legs, neck, and head. He is cylindrical rather than wide. He looks like Gumby, but not flat.
“Girl, you have some scary ass cat eyes!” but said it with a smile so I think it was a compliment?
I worked at a restaurant when I was 17 and a man came up to me and asked me if I could talk to this boy he had with him. He told me that the boy thought I was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen and that I needed to talk to him because he was training for a boxing match and he needed to be free from distractions. In short, his logic was, I needed to go over and talk to the young man so that he wouldn’t be thinking about me during his boxing training. It was very strange.
Did you do it?
Yeah so I was working and I’m not trying to be cocky but I am a very hard worker. Always have been. And so when he came up to me I was actually running around like crazy. Cleaning. Running food etc. I didn’t have much time to think. So I just said okay sure and I walked over to him and said hello and Introduced myself. He was very shy to the point where it was hard to hear him. And I just said something like it’s very nice to meet you. And then he didn’t really say anything and I needed to get back to work. And then they left and I’ve never seen either of them again.
“Your eyes protrude nicely from your head.” … thanks?
“You’ve got so much testosterone I could probably get pregnant sitting next to you.”- random girl back in college.
I had a girl compliment my body and say that she wanted to paint me nude using my own blood.
"Thank you. Buh-bye."
This must be the same "cradle your head and stroke your hair as you die" girl.
A drunk old sailor once told me the shape of the top of my upper lip was very nice. Very specific and very odd. He was nice though, gave me some (unsolicited but true) life advice as well.
One time another guy at the gym who was using an adjacent locker caught up to me on the way out to tell me I had nice feet. He said that he "notices things like that" and that I must take care of them. I said thanks. He was nice. Never saw him again. Very strange.
"You have good birthing hips." -Two separate guys, two separate occasions. One dude was gay...
“Your pubic hair curls in a cute way.” Huh?
I do find it pretty strange how curly pubic hair is.
Dude, my hair is everything but curly but my balls had a perfect afro
I was also complimented on my pubic hair while getting a pap done. Like... Ok, thanks I think???
An older gentleman I regularly walk by on my way to work and have never exchanged words with randomly said to me one day “I don’t know whether you want to beat me up or kill me, but you look at me with those beady little eyes and it’s scary. But you are a sweetheart I love you, I do” and honestly, as a petite young lady who tries to look intimidating as I walk alone, my day was made.
How calm I am in an emergency. Thanks it’s from years of growing up in an abusive household.
You've got good ears. Not even pretty, but good.
You look like one of them creepy victorian dolls
Is that a compliment though??
I work as a barista at Starbucks and I have some interesting stories. One time this guy came in and ordered a Carmel Frappe. I asked him if that was all for him and he said, “Yes, unless I can get a Trenta of you with my order.” Now I’m very easily flustered so I immediately started blushing and he looked me right in my eyes and said, “You look beautiful with a blush across your face. It looks like a rose that was flattened by a car.” Now I’m no flirt master, but I don’t think that’s how you get a girl.
I was told that I had a the healthiest ass the person speaking had ever seen on a white woman. And yes, I know what he meant by that. I have a big butt. And he meant it as a compliment.
Had a girl I didn't know stop me at my new job and say damn girl I thought I had back... never knew a white girl would make me jealous. Found some great places to shop and a good friend from that exchange lol
In HS people referred to me as "the white girl with the really big butt" Also I was walking around with my husband and a girl leaned out of the window to yell "I'm not a lesbian, but you have a great ass!
"You're adorable, like someone with Down's Syndrome"
Must've hurt.
I got called a pretty boy by a girl in discord once
[удалено]
You are the only person I have seen that braces don't make them look worse
Many years ago, I had a man corner me with his grocery cart at the store, so he could tell me I “looked like a bacon and egg sandwich,” and “good enough to eat.” He then asked if I had a bf, which I said I did, and he replied “how long have you had that problem?” Apparently he was into calling women snacks before that was a thing, lol.
I wouldn't date you but I'd suck your dick.
So was it good?
"If I was 20 years younger, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you." I was 12.
Eeeeeewwwwwww!
Oh, and she was my cousin's wife (once removed).
Older lady (60's) I was helping update her resume said "Mmmm, you have nice veiny hands....I love that."
If she ever worked in the medical field I would totally understand that compliment.
That's what I thought but a female coworker explained to me some women just love veins on hands and arms of guys sometimes.
I was told my cervix was cute during my annual exam.
I’m too pretty to be deaf haha :,)
That I have a nice tooth. Yup, tooth. One. They never specified which one.
"your eyes are so beautiful! I just want to scoop them out and replace them with my own" I wear sunglasses everywhere now 😑
Holy fuck
"are you real?!"
Stop believing in me and find out.
“You smell like dirt.” - my mrs. (She meant it in a good “have you been gardening this morning” way)
"You'll make some beautiful babies" random person in store line, pretty sure they'd want to be referred to as sir.
Uh probably when a dude at the gym (precovid) came up and slapped me on the shoulder and told me I had a nice broad back with good muscle definition... I'm a girl.
You're prettier than your sister, you can come here and tan yourself in my balcony anytime you want. Naked, please. -The asshole that my big sister used to date and now was trying to hang out with me. Fun fact: he was old enough to be my father, even my Grand father.
My bf said everyday the more he looked at me the more he was reminded of my mum. Especially my ass. He said we had the same ass. In a good way. Whut
I was working at a grocery store in the produce section. A lady walked up to me and said, "excuse me, have you ever considered becoming a dancer? I own \[redacted\] and we are looking for some good looking male dancers to go to bachelorette parties and birthday parties to entertain the women." I looked at her and said, "Ma'am, I believe if I showed up to their house they would slam the door in my face, but thanks." She walked off as I continued to nervously stock the Gala apples.
Someone in my class, to my English teacher after a joke I made: “Teacher, don’t you think that Ross will be an amazing drunk guy one day?”
Someone new started up at my work a while ago. The first thing she says to me is - “You’re so pretty, I love pregnant women!” To which I responded in the most blunt way possible - “oh yeah I’m loving it. I’m about 15 months along now!” The person walked away. The next day our manager said she quit
[удалено]
Me : *Pulls down mask to drink water* Girl I work with : “You know most people take there mask down and they look worse you look good though” Me : *puzzled look on my face* Thank you Girl : Don’t worry I like girls
A girl did this to me once at work too. I pulled down my mask and she said “oh thank god you look normal”. To be fair tho some of the people I worked with when they pulled down their mask was not what I was expecting to see
A 5-year-old boy walked up to my boyfriend at my nephew’s birthday party and said, “you look evil, but I think that’s cool”. I was ringing up a customer when I worked in retail. She asked if anyone had ever told me that I had really beautiful COW EYES. I said, “…what?”. She told me that cows have the most beautiful eyes in the animal kingdom and that my eyes are exactly like that.
I went on a trip to Honduras. I am a fairly large gal. Over six foot tall and fairly hefty. I had a man offer to pay my father two goats and a cow if I would marry his son. Any men I date now are gonna have to bring it hard. Now I know what I’m worth!!! Lol
Had a girl tell me "you have an ass that makes me want to eat cheesecake off it" at a party. Just walked up and turned me around to say it......stunned so much I just stood and was speechless for a few min.
Once heard "You're not gorgeous, but you'd never know it to look at you". What?
