30 Of The Funniest And Weirdest Compliments Folks In This Online Group Got
It may surprise you how many people feel uncomfortable when they get complimented. It sounds counterintuitive as compliments are there to uplift someone, point out their best features and are overall a positive thing to say. But not everyone feels that they deserve to be praised, so they don’t really know how to react and just feel that the whole interaction is unnecessary.
But there are normal compliments such as pointing out beautiful shoes and there are compliments that can really take you a second to comprehend whether that wasn’t an insult. In this list you will find these kinds of compliments that are so specific or unusual that people really don’t know what to think of them. The thread was created by Redditor Smalie, who asked, “What’s the weirdest compliment you ever received?” and people had some really interesting ones to tell about.

"you remind me of Kermit the frog. Not in looks, in vibes."
My spouse's voice sounds a lot like his. I sometimes wonder if that was part of the reason I felt safe and comfortable around him when we first met!
I don't know why I read (and saw) Kermit and thought of Oscar. Still would've accepted it as a compliment.
Damn. I would kill to be told I remind someone of Kermit the frog.
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.
My ankle is in a brace at the moment. The other day a woman sat down randomly next to my foot in the moddle of the street and started praying for my foot. She didnt rob me or want anything in return. She was being "nice". Super weird for me.
Gah, I wouldn't even know how to take that. On the one hand, a stranger is offering a kindness of sorts. OTOH, people like that want to be seen Praying For Others, Because They're So Very Pious. It's like, how much of that is serving the recipient vs the "nice" person praying in public?
Load More Replies...I get that. In my country people will 'remove the bad eyes' when someone is being good/pretty etc because they believe that beauty begets jealousy/envy and that is not good for you. So they remove the bad omens that brings. This sounds similar
Ever notice how in many cultures, beauty will make you a target for jealousy but being a decent or intelligent human being doesn't?
Load More Replies...Listen, in Texas, if this happens you thank your lucky stars because these little old ladies know their stuff! Everyone listens to Abuela!
Why would she have never seen anything like them? Hispanic families can have children with blue eyes, green eyes, hazel and brown.
Maybe she means she's never seen any as pretty as his
Load More Replies...there are a lot of superstitions some latin communities. such as the one time i had someone compliment me on my eyes and start to walk away when her companion told her that she had to touch my eyes or they would become 'sick'. apparently, the compliment was some kind of invitation for bad juju if not 'blessed' by the putting on of hands. go figure.
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.
im allergic to vees, wasps etc and everyone always says they like me bc im so sweet. i say its cuz they kno and r out to get me lol
A factual and interesting compliment. Yes, wasps are rely on olfactory cues for locating food sources, and certain scents can really p*ss them off.
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
I'm purely undatable because i'll bore you to death with aliens.

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 had a gym teacher in middle school whose calves looked like steaks. It was the only part of him that was in shape.
Omggg yesss! We have this coach exactly like that at my school lmao. Coach Riddle, he reminds me of humpty dumpty
Load More Replies...I recently reconnected with an old girlfriend from high school (just to catch up) and she said one of the things that had attracted her to me was my calves. I was a pretty serious runner at the time, so I guess they were well defined, but I never realized that was a thing outside of some medieval romance novel. "he had very well-turned calves..."
I once had a doctor that was so fascinated by my calves he'd have me walk across the floor and call others in to look at them
i had a random person come up to me during a track meet after i did the long jump and say "do u have springs in ur long legs because that was an impressive jump." a grown man should never say that to a high school girl. i just said thanks and jogged quickly back to my friends. i later found out he was a college scout and was impressed by my long jump distance and my short distance running times but still thats not how u compliment a high school girl family or friends ok but a random grown man u dont kno no. i ended up meeting another scout and went to their college but ill never forget how weird that compliment was
it is the section of the leg shown in the picture, the muscle below the knee
Load More Replies...Honestly, a pair of well-defined calves is totally sexy! Those on the pic are okay, but I've seen prettier ones.
"your mind is like a kaleidoscope"
Your typo almost has me in tears... Please don't change it . it works too well
Load More Replies...I'm split between ENFP and INFP. I've had either one on all tests I've taken XD.
Load More Replies...Well, that's NOT a compliment! Unless you're seeing things through my ears, of course.
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…
I was told once my aura was solid black with skull designs, is that an issue?
Do you occasionally hear enrapturing organ music from your stomach? Then you have a gothic aura.
Load More Replies...That actually happened to me once at a Barnes and Noble. A woman told me that she loved my aura.
Happened to me when I was going to the market. It is weird, because I thought she would follow with 'something something money', but she just left.
Load More Replies...Dabbler in paranormal/auras and spiritual here. A bright and large aura is an extremely good thing, because a “bright aura” means “you have beautiful energy” and a large aura means that you radiate that energy to other people. And so... I would say that she said “ You have beautiful energy that you spread to others” :)
Where can I find someone who can honestly tell me about my aura.... I find that cool
It happens..some people do have gift to be able to see healthy and bright auras. It's just like a natural complement in lines with "You look beautiful today"
I would've had to dunk into a restroom in order to cackle without hurting her feelings.
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
i hate it that men often have way more beautiful eyelashes than me :( i always tell the guys, tho
Ikr?? I mean, I have to apply mascara with a trowel if I even want a hint of long lashes. Meanwhile my husband's eyelashes practically rest on his cheekbones when he blinks. Lucky so-'n-so
Load More Replies...I’m not a good looking dude & throughout my life women have occasionally replied that my double-rowed eyelashes are wasted on me.
Jealousy. Sometimes probably a back-handed compliment. Bet they make your eyes look lovely.
Load More Replies...I've been complemented on my eyelashes, always from women and it's very nice to hear.
Funny, most of us Asian women have very thin /short eyelashes, while my husbands is nice and long/thick, looks like he used an eyelash curler, yes I’m jealousy too
True. When I wear make-up, women here in Korea sometimes ask me whether my eyelashes are real or just mascara and they don't miss out on showering me with compliments when I tell them the truth (which is, just mascara). My husband (also Korean) finds them unusual. Anyway. Long or short eyelashes, make-up or full natural, I find you Asian women to be incredibly beautiful. Or adorably cute, depends from person to person. ^^
Load More Replies...I'd love to have long lashes instead of these stubs I have. Very nice compliment
I have been complimented multiple times on my long eyeslashes by women that say they are jealous. I don't know how to feel about that. It feels like they say I have beautiful eyes like a woman or something. Feels a bit weird and I wonder if people think I use mascara or something
I live part time in Southeast Asia and that is the most compliment I received. PWT
My brother! Beautiful blue eyes (mine are hazel green, so no jealousy) but his lashes! Little s**t.
“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 compliment people on their clothing all the time, especially if it looks fun (wild pattern, funky design, whimsical, goofy, etc).
I try to do that to because it feels amazing when someone does it to me! I was walking into the grocery store and a young woman told me she loved my dress. I said thank you but then I was puzzled. She was using a cane for the blind and had on super thick glasses. Then it hit me, she wasn't completely blind and my ivory sundress with bright orange and yellow sunflowers the size of small dinner plates and was probably easier for her to see!
Load More Replies...She obviously wanted to touch your penus. Go back there and ask for her number
And? Then what? When socially awkward people meet their own kind, shouldn't you have exchanged numbers or something?
If I see something cute/different on someone, I try to compliment them. It takes courage to be different these days, people should be admired for it.
That I looked like I belonged on a shortbread tin.
Not sure that was a compliment, isn't it normally a terrier on the front of a shortbread tin?
A girl in high school told me I have really pretty knees.
That’s because lots of knees are oddly shaped, yours must’ve been nicely shaped for him to say that
Run with that. Most people have knobby knees - even some of the "beautiful" ones.
My wife- "You have a nice shaped skull"
I know what you mean, I was thinking of cut my hair really short but I'd look like something escaped from Minecraft
Load More Replies...Funny, on top of my head if you feel it side to side there’s a slight grove, my husband sometimes calls me ET head
Well, if I shaved my beard and my hair... My head looks like a grape.
A hair cutter said to me that I have a pretty skull and I would look great if I were bold
A hairdresser once told me that I have the perfect skull shape. I was a little puzzled, but still nice)
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?”
This seems... untrue. No one is going to hit on someone else during a f*****g code blue.
Wow, wildly inappropriate time for a pick up line. I have my doubts about this story.
And then they had sex in the doctor's break room! Was this on grey's anatomy?
nah you see the grey woke up and sued the hospital so they had to demolish it and replace it with a panera bread
Load More Replies...Personally, I would be wary of someone hitting on me in the middle of trying to save someone's life.
Whoa, TIMING. Did they resuscitate them? I feel like the end to this would impact this compliment greatly 😂
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.":
Because you caught him off guard as he didn’t remember why you were gone
Willing to bet he’s been told never to complement a woman on her pregnancy unless he has heard directly from her that she is, indeed, pregnant. Plus hearing that asking or discussing pregnancy with a job candidate or subordinate might be construed as discriminatory. He got stuck when those thoughts suddenly came to mind in the middle of his sentence. He undoubtedly walked away kicking himself for sounding like a fool.
She went back to work after just few weeks from having a baby?! That is so sad... :(
It sounds like he wanted to congratulate her on her new son or daughter but realized midsentense that he didn't know the gender and thinking he should know this he paniced and weired out. If he had not paniced he would probably just have said child but it was not what he intended initially and didn't find the word in that microsecond of panic and reaching for the word/a way out. Probably the funniest and most memorable congratulation they got :D
Yeah, some of us aren't. I received a ton of s**t when my relative who didn't want to know the sex of their baby until delivery posted the very early sonogram on Facebook. Everyone was saying things like hope it's a girl, boy etc..and I said I hope it's a puppy! Oops. Hey, at least I didn't mistake it for lasagna!
Load More Replies...Me too. Someone told me once that they were expecting twins and I came out with 'oh wow' instead of congratulations because what went through my head was 'how terrifying'! Not anti child, just know how tough one at a time is!
Load More Replies...When u have only read the subject of the email chain but still wanna appear to have read them all
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.
"Glad you like them. Conveniently, I have one for each of you. Two nipples, no waiting!"
I laughed! Here's an upvote to bring you to zero!
Load More Replies...Because differences between the sexes is far less than society would have us believe.
Load More Replies...You’re supposed to say ”I’ll bet you do, too. But of course I’d have to see ‘em first to say for sure”.
If a person of the gender you are into romantically compliments you and you are single…ffs…get their contact information. Some people out there all playing hard to get that should not be.
as a patriot the board Panda and the lord of the nice nipple people WELCOME
‘Despite what everyone says about you, I still think you’re quite fun’
This could almost be considered a backhanded compliment. People say I’m NOT fun? Whaaa?!!
Isn't that called "negging"? Being negative to someone so they'll try to "do better" for you.
Is this like one of those, “most fat girls look weird in crop tops but you look stunning” kinda compliments where it’s meant to make you dependent on their approval so they can take advantage of you while simultaneously upping their ego by highlighting and/or creating an insecurity hidden under a seemingly lovely but actually a deceivingly flattering comment? Dickhead.
"your eyes are so beautiful! I just want to scoop them out and replace them with my own"
I wear sunglasses everywhere now 😑
A guy once told me I had the kind of eyes that could get a man in trouble.
“Your ears look like tortellini … delicious”
Orecchiette might have been a nicer compliment though, I suppose, much might depend on the size of your lugs.
You smell organic.
Makes me think of how my cats smell when they come in from the garden - I cannot define it, it just smells like ...nature? Very fresh and clean, I would love to smell like that!
good description. I loved it to stick my nose deep into the fluff of my cat, especially when she was outside before.
Load More Replies...I guess sometimes ppl, shower themselves in strong cologne/perfume, that all we can smell is more the chemicals/ alcohol
Huh. I'm human & therefore "organic" by definition. Did you mean "natural"?
My eyes were brown like a really nice table
That's a good one. I have brown eyes, and people usually tell me it means I'm full of s**t. I mean, they're not wrong...
My spouse has brown eyes, while mine are blue. Whenever we disagree, I point out the empirical physical evidence proving that I am the correct one. ;)
Load More Replies...... but why is the lamp wonky! that's terrible, please make it stand upright!
A boy with bright blue hair and mocha eyes (And C major lips and blue-sky hands and tiger-growl teeth) stands up.
Drake and Josh episode: "Your eyes are like two beautiful pools of... mud."
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.
As I know from the internet, some people have a alarming interest in smells like this
It's pheromones - musk, if you will. We're out here wearing smartwatches and having college degrees but deep down we're still animals haha.
Load More Replies...My fiance smells amazing. Its weird to say his natural smell smells good but it does! And it doesn't matter if he's been sweating all day or not. The man never smells bad! And I'm not one to be keen on ppls smell.... But when I snuggle him at night it makes me feel good to smell him. So so odd.
I don’t think it is, sounds to me like you found a good match!
Load More Replies...As long as I can remember I love the smell of my mums hands. They're smelling like soap all the time, also without being washed. They smell like home to me
She was attracted to your pheromones. Take it as a compliment.
Pheromones, my friend, pheromones ...the cause of good, and bad, relationship decisions
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.
"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
She likes the fact you look like you're about to murder her .... let's just digest that a moment, shall we?
A fair amount of women have a bit of an intensity kink. Speaking both as one, and the friend of those with one.
Load More Replies...Plot twist: This is the author reminiscing… on death row… before being executed… for murdering 42 people. :0
When my husband drives he looks like he is angry. Much worse than this guy. I have had him drive behind me many times, we drove part of the same routes home from work, and he looks like he wants to run you off the road! He's not angry, just has resting a$$hole face I guess! 😂
Not a bad thing to have, considering how many drivers behave!
Load More Replies...My resting face looks like I'm really annoyed and I want you to shut up. XD
Oh yeah, one of my pals always says that's how her girlfriend looks at her, she finds it really hot haha
that I looked Pre-Raphaelite
I told a colleague that. She bleaches and straightens her hair, she's pretty enough, but she showed me a photo of her with natural hair, gorgeous light auburn waves. I told het she looked like a pre Raphaelite maiden.
It's not exactly the same as Pre-Raphaelite but it made me think of this : A family friend once told me when I was 14 that I looked like the Madonna, he wanted to take pictures of me with the veil and everything (it was not creepy though, my mom was there and he was italian and really liked the Madonna). Also once in a bar a drunk old lady compared me to Mona Lisa, she was very thorough in why she thought that.
My mother in law once said I had "good birthing hips". I like your compliment better.
My mum used to say I had ' meaty arms' and my father in law once likened me to a pig he used to have. I was pregnant at the time! I'm a size 6 and this doesn't do much for your self esteem! 😂
Load More Replies...Women are central figures in Pre-Raphaelite art, and this has given rise to the concept of a “Pre-Raphaelite Woman.”
Load More Replies...My friend with gorgeous long red hair used to get this a lot. It’s a lovely complement I think
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'd love to make it into a suit so I can murder the prime minister and cause WW3 so I can sell the Earth to extraterrestrials :)
Load More Replies...I found the "horrifying" part was the invitation to a pyramid scam party.
That I’m vertically fat
😅😅😅😅😅was never considered tall so now I'm gonna say that!!!
Load More Replies...
I once got told "You are not *that* ugly" ... yeah, cheers, did a wonder for my self-esteem. Not.
My date told me he liked to date unattractive girls to boost their self esteem.
At my high school graduation I had a friend tell me that they'd never seen me with makeup on before so it was weird for them seeing me almost decent to look at. 🤷♀️
Ugh. In a perfect world, you'd get to punch someone in the face for that.
Load More Replies..."Aww, thanks hon. And don't worry, I'm sure you'll eventually find someone who loves a simple-minded guy who always smells like boiled eggs. :)"
I've gotten the old "you're pretty enough to sleep with, but not to date"... needless to say that did NOT help my self esteem.
someone called me submissive and breedable in a Tesco's
Depends on her preferred relationship dynamics, i guess :)

“You’ve got so much testosterone I could probably get pregnant sitting next to you.”- random girl back in college.
Its actually Folicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinising Hormone that trigger production of sperm. Too much testosterone can have the reverse effect and prevent healthy sperm being produced, which is why T injections are used as a contraception method. Ima let myself out...
That line is from the movie "Yours, Mine & Ours" with Henry Fonda & Lucille Ball.
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.
There are women who are worried about their pregnant figure, but saying it like this is kind of uncomfortsble
So weird how if the coworker's gender was swapped the comments would be full of people ranting.
To be fair it is not that weird. I mean in this case it sounds like a woman thinking alot about pregnancy so she probably think about what diffrent women looks like pregnant perhaps to try to figure out what would happen to her own body. But if a man says it, then it sounds like he wants to put the baby there and it is just more inappropriate in a work environment
Load More Replies...I was giving blood...the phlebotomist just stood there for awhile...then said in a really low voice...almost dreamily..."You've got beautiful veins."
All the nurses and phlebotomists LOVE my veins.
Load More Replies...Yeah, lets not talk about how the 17 year old would look pregnant
Skinny is NOT a compliment. Skinny is a horrible insult because it means you are wan, fragile, sickly, emaciated,... NOT. A. COMPLIMENT!
"If I was 20 years younger, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you."
I was 12.
I got that once when I was 19, from a coworker who had to have been in his 60s. I was technically legal, but ewww.
Load More Replies...I had someone say the same kind of thing to me when I was about 15-16 but he was at least in his 60s I could have been sick and tried to nervously laugh it off but definitely kept away from him after, creeps are everywhere be careful even people who you have known for years xx
You're prettier than your sister, you can come here and tan yourself in my balcony anytime you want. Naked, please. -The a**hole 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.

Load More Replies...You’re looking slightly more normal today. What does that even mean? Am I not normal on the other days?
Yes, it means. Normal to them, whatever that is... Why do people feel the need to comment on anything they see?
“Girl, you have some scary a** cat eyes!” but said it with a smile so I think it was a compliment?
“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
Wait... you can buy beer at a gas station? Has anyone ever thought that that encourages drinking and driving?
It depends on the country. I live in the UK and you can definitely buy alcohol at petrol stations - not on motorways/highways though.

Nice earlobes.
I was also told by a totally platonic friend that I had nice earlobes. His gf went absolutely crazy with jealousy and gave me the evil eye for weeks: apparently she was really proud of her earlobes. Very strange😒
I was told that I had a the healthiest a** 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.
I got that a lot. My BF and I were leaving a restaurant/bar and as I walked by a table with two Black men one said "Wow, you look like JLo!" while staring at my rear! This was around her time with Diddy and my time as a size 5! A looooong time ago😂
You look like one of them creepy victorian dolls
I don't think that was a compliment... unless they really like creepy dolls
There are fetishes, and there are FETISHES, if you know what I mean.
Load More Replies...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.
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 sounds like something from someone's standup routine, but I can't remember whose.
It's very similar to some of Jackie gleason's lines in Smokey & the Bandit.
Load More Replies...Maybe he meant a sexy slap on the booty? I personally do not enjoy it, but I know of women who do.
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.
it was just because they were cleaning the trash. This wouldn't of been offensive
Load More Replies...And I'd reply to the drunk, "Why, because you're a revolting sack of s**t?"
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.
Ah yes, because it's a female's job to manage a male's feelings for him...
I mean, kind of genius, and I get tired dad vibes from the guy.
hey id take it as a compliment it means ur so beautiful ull b on his mind even after he leaves and hed regret not meeting u. it was said in a weird way but still id say give the guy a chance (if ur single that is) cuz a man who can recognize beauty but too shy to tell u himself means he has a soft compassionate side which is a great trait to have in a guy.
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 was just gonna comment that, they either honk like geese or hiss like cats, neither of those sounds are particularly appealing haha
Load More Replies...I received a weird compliment on my voice, which was very smooth and professional sounding. I worked in a call center and one man said to me, "wow! You give good phone!" Um, thanks?
“I wish I didn’t have a cold, because I really want to smell you all over!”
In high school, some girls told me I had a cute walk. I had never thought about how I walked before but it really f****d 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
I always find such terms alarming, but from someone of the same age, it's just weird
They're not necessarily the same age. If they're in college they could have a wide age range
Load More Replies...Once a guy I worked with told me I have a sporty figure. My response was a confused expression. He explained that he meant it in a good way because I have a nice build. Then he got all flustered and embarrassed and left. I accepted that he meant it as a compliment and didn't mean for it to sound weird. Probably just didn't want to say something unoriginal and stupid like I'm hot or whatever. He was a really sweet guy.
Most guys are terrible at giving compliments to people they like because suddenly your brain disconnects from your mouth and garbage like this come out. It's generally only the dbags that are good at it because they do it so often and don't really mean it.
Load More Replies...Took my tiny dog to the park. She walked, we played. She is very special to me. As I sat on a bench talking to her and giving her treats, a older gentleman approached. He said, "Should I return as a dog, I hope I belong to you", then bowed and walked away. I'll never forget that.
🙉That would be my ultimate compliment. I mean people have said similar things, but that would be a purrfect thing to hear😻
Load More Replies...A drunk friend of mine wanted to compliment a girl's eyes outside a disco. He ended up saying "I love your blue... perfume". Don't drink and flirt.
Once had an sweet old lady walk up to me and take both of my hands in hers, look intently at them and say "You have a creators hands. You just need to ignore the pain" She gave me a big smile and all I could say is "Thank you" and she walked off. I like to paint, draw and build things. I'm currently painting a picture of Spyro the Dragon even though my hands ache. I have also started quite a few other projects and I am enjoying myself immensely. This meeting happened in November 2019
I had a HS teacher who, when we were doing a unit on WWII, told me I would probably survive captivity because I had an active imagination.
FWIW, I had an endodontist tell me I had "nice, long roots" when she took X-rays of my teeth. Thanks(?)
I have a heart condition that required a lot of surgical remodelling of my heart. Apparently my surgeon did a good job because I always get complimented on it when I have an ultrasound. My current cardiac technician gets very fangirly every time, saying how breathtaking and beautiful it is, like she's looking at a painting, and am I sure I don't remember the surgeon's name.

Once a guy I worked with told me I have a sporty figure. My response was a confused expression. He explained that he meant it in a good way because I have a nice build. Then he got all flustered and embarrassed and left. I accepted that he meant it as a compliment and didn't mean for it to sound weird. Probably just didn't want to say something unoriginal and stupid like I'm hot or whatever. He was a really sweet guy.
Most guys are terrible at giving compliments to people they like because suddenly your brain disconnects from your mouth and garbage like this come out. It's generally only the dbags that are good at it because they do it so often and don't really mean it.

He said, "Should I return as a dog, I hope I belong to you", then bowed and walked away. I'll never forget that.
🙉That would be my ultimate compliment. I mean people have said similar things, but that would be a purrfect thing to hear😻

Once had an sweet old lady walk up to me and take both of my hands in hers, look intently at them and say "You have a creators hands. You just need to ignore the pain" She gave me a big smile and all I could say is "Thank you" and she walked off. I like to paint, draw and build things. I'm currently painting a picture of Spyro the Dragon even though my hands ache. I have also started quite a few other projects and I am enjoying myself immensely. This meeting happened in November 2019
I had a HS teacher who, when we were doing a unit on WWII, told me I would probably survive captivity because I had an active imagination.
FWIW, I had an endodontist tell me I had "nice, long roots" when she took X-rays of my teeth. Thanks(?)
I have a heart condition that required a lot of surgical remodelling of my heart. Apparently my surgeon did a good job because I always get complimented on it when I have an ultrasound. My current cardiac technician gets very fangirly every time, saying how breathtaking and beautiful it is, like she's looking at a painting, and am I sure I don't remember the surgeon's name. I guess there is art in the medical world. 😆
