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?

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
