What's the strangest compliment you ever got?
 

I was once told (by a guy) that I smell like a Strawberry Shortcake doll. :p

How about you all?

while i was playing guitar, a girl told me i had "beautiful nail beds."

"You look like Lily Tomlin, only prettier."

Umm, yeah drunk dude, whatever.

"You use chopsticks very well, for a non-Asian." (From a Chinese person.)

I was wearing Bath and Body works Warm Vanilla Sugar and was told I smelled like a cookie. From a wierd guy who had a crush on me. I never weared it to work EVER again.

"You smell like a stripper." (I guess I smelled fruity or whatever)

"You've got awesome DSLs." :eek:

"You're like the sister I never had, even though I have two sisters."

"You look like Liv Tyler in that movie where she's an elf." (I have elf ears, according to this particular friend.)

People want to know if those are my "real eyes."

Ummm, no let me pop out those glass eyeballs for ya!

That's awesome. Do froto looking types stick their tongues in your elf ears?

-Rudey

From a man I spoke with over the phone during a summer job: "You have a lovely speaking voice. You should go into radio."

At least he didn't tell you to go into the phone sex business.

LOL I get that my voice sounds like a phone sex operator a lot... I don't know if it's a compliment or not though.

Eeew, I get that a lot too, but only from half the people. The other people who comment on my voice think I sound like a little kid. I find the combination particularly disturbing http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/uhoh2.gif


Edited to add the point of this thread: My ninth grade English teacher once told me that I'm "smarter than I look"

Take it as a compliment - I was able to parlay a part-time career out of the same compliment!


Okay, I have hazel eyes. But according to a guy I once dated, they were (cue the star-struck voice) "baby-s**t brown"!

When I expressed disgust, he started telling me how golden-green it was. Didn't help a bit!

Last night
 

Some guy from Lebanon that I was dancing with at the club I was at said to me, "You are very fit. Most Americans are fat." LOL

"Your eyelid tastes like chicken"

from a really drunk guy a couple of weeks ago ( context: he tripped over his own two feet and grabbed my hair to keep him up)

"i have a girlfriend but you have the softest hair i've ever felt"

that was weird

My friend told me people pay to have lips like mine once.

"I was just making out with a fat girl... but I'd rather be making out with you!" Gee, thanks...!

:laughs:
 

i've got a couple

"Mandie, there's something about you that just makes me feel better whenever I'm around you.....I think it's your boobs"

"Mandie, you're not 'strange' you're.....an "acquired taste" "

"Man, you have the most comfortable shoulders I have ever felt...i could sleep like this"

"Mandie, seeing you makes me wish I liked girls"

I was voted "Most Unique" out of my chapter--that's a wierd compliment

LOL, there's gotta be more, but you know how it goes, can't remember them now...

That shit is funny.

I had a freind tell me I should be a motivational speaker. ??

Pre break-up:
My ex boyfriend told me I was like his favorite t-shirt, you know that one that has holes and yellow armpits cause you love to wear it so much. (actually a really long story, the analogy turned quite mean toward the end)

1.5 years after the break up:
Same ex told me I was like his favorite steak. "I can go to other resutrants and order the steak but its never the same, I always wish I went to the other resturant and ordered the steak I really wanted in the first place."

Hum ....... Good comparisons.. haha

This was actually a comment directed at my friend, but I was there:

"You have great teeth. If you were a horse, you'd be a thoroughbread"

The strangest compliment I have ever received was from a Amish / Meninite (sp?) woman with about 9 kids-- I was 17 she stopped me in the mall and told me I had great birthing hips!! I was a size 3 at the time-- but I have always had hips and an ass.

I have also been told I have hair people pay lots of money for--- same thing has been said about my lips too!

I constantly get told what great teeth I have. I guess maybe it's not THAT weird but why don't you just say I have a pretty smile instead? I feel like by someone pointing out my teeth specifically they're trying to overlook the fact that my smile/rest of my face isn't so great. Hum, who knows, I'm weird.

I also get told a lot that I have really great skin. I just want to be like "hi friends, it's called makeup!" :D

Oh my gosh I was told the same thing when I was in high school. I was lying on the beach in Hawaii and some lady came up to my mom and said how luck she was because she would have many grandchildren because of my good birthing hips. Luckily I didn't hear it.

You all laugh now....but in a few years, when you are in labor, you are going to be soooooo grateful for those "birthing hips" :)

Coming from that generation, it was one hell of a compliment!

I also get told a lot that I have really great skin. I just want to be like "hi friends, it's called makeup!" :D [/B][/QUOTE]

One day while I was at work, I was checking a lady and her boyfriend out and the girl looks at me and says, "You have the creamiest skin I've ever seen! It's perfect! What kind of makeup do you wear?"

And I don't wear any foundation or powder at all... I don't wash my face with anything special either, just regular soap... I thought that was pretty nice.

My mom always tells me that I have perfect eyebrows (I've never plucked or waxed them before), and I've gotten that from some other people too.

My mom also likes to talk about how cute my feet are. In fact, several guys I've dated have had foot fetishes... hmm... I guess that's flattering, but I don't like people sucking on my toes.

hahahha!!! I actually have 2 kids --and those hips did not help me what so ever!!! I have the hips, just not the pelvic space. Thank God for c-sections when I had the second!! :)

"Did you ever have braces?" --asked because I have naturally really straight teeth :D <--see?

"Are you wearing those colored contacts?" --asked because I have really blue eyes, no one believes me...

Ditto on the DSL and Birthing Hips comments :p Hav had many of those..heh.

I am in the same boat as you...5 c-sections later, I asked about a zipper ;)

"You don't remind me of a girl who does the #2" ----->Told by a guy hitting on me on the school bus when I as in HS. First he said "You're pretty. Do you ever do nasty stuff like go to the bathroom?" I was too embarrassed to say "yes" and I known I would've looked foolish if I said "no". So, I didn't answer him...and that's what followed. :confused: :o :rolleyes:

I get "You have really long hair" ( to them it is a good thing)

and
"your green eyes don't look real, they are so green they are creepy"

and my favorite. Two people gave me this compliment. The first was a gay guy and the second was from a massage therapist.

1) You have great feet. (gay guy said that if he was straight and we were having sex I could but my feet on his shoulders becuase they were to juicey.... which exact words")

the second was "you should be a foot model!!!!!"

"Your eyes wrinkle when you smile."

"You look good in jeans."

Recently I had a girl at a club tell me she wanted to go home with me right then. When I asked why, she said my eyes seduced her. I thought it was a little wierd but if I wasnt dating someone I probably would have took her home.

OK...This has nothing to do with compliments but I thought of this when I read cashmoney's post.

I totally laughed in a guys face the other night at this bar because he gave the ol' "So, do you come here often?"

I told him he could think of something better than that.

lol....so if he said something along the lines of " So, you have perky tits." Would that have been a little better?;)

perhaps. No we actually both laughed about the comment. After I laughed he realized how stupid he sounded...he was lie "Sorry, I know that's so cliche..."

The perky tits line always gets me goin'
