[AchtungBaby80]

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

How about you all?

"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."

[sugar and spice]

"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.)

[adpiucf]

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

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

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


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!

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
