Weird compliments

[Revived]

I've been asked if I were French, and once slovic.
And once in Bath and Body works, the saleslady told me I could play Sofia Coppla in a movie. I'm still trying to figure out if that was an insult or a compliment

Sofia Coppola is gorgeous. Sounds like quite a compliment to me!

thanks! lol

Definitely an insult....she was horrible in the Godfather 3. She was never a good actress. But maybe she meant it in a good way...?

As a person she looked too Italian for my tastes, but that's just a sidenote.

haha thanks
hence why it was a "weird" compliment

 

[NoodlesNoodlesNoodles]

"You have a nice torso!"

"Thanks. uh... what?"

Was the compliment giver's last name "Dahmer" by any chance? Run. Run fast.

once a group of coworkers and i were standing around talking about something i don't remember and one of them randomly turned to me in the middle of this conversation and asked, 'whats wrong with your face? you look so pretty!'

at least i've chosen to take that as a compliment

I've been told by many people that I have a nice aorta. But I don't think that's weird.

What is the weirdest compliment you've ever received? Not sure why I'm asking this, but I thought it would be an interesting topic of discussion.

"Hey honey cake buns, come here sweet thing"

Never happened

God Bless,

One Sunday I wore a nice dress to church and some high-heels. It's not that I dress like a guy... because I don't... but I don't usually dress up that nice for church. I'm not a dressy person.

Anyway, one of the guys my parents are friends with came up to me during our greeting time and he was like: "Oh, you actually look like a girl today!" Now, I have no idea what he really meant by this, but he's married and has 2 daughters, so he should know how to talk to girls.

I was so embarrassed. I actually wanted to cry.
I'm sure he meant well, but there is NOTHING about that sentence that can be taken in a good light.

But, I just decided to grin and bear it and go along with it, even though inside I was feeling like a piece of dirt.

Awww. . I've never worn a dress (nor a skirt) to Church either. I'm usually in dress pants or jeans. The last time I wore a dress was when I was 12. But I wore a skirt last month to Church for the first time and think I surprised everyone, especially my mom.

Screw him. I would have kneed him in the groin. That would have learned him some manners. In your pictures, you always look cool, pretty and awesome (if Austin doesn't mind me saying so).

Because you looked so nice that is why he said so hihi he didn't know what else to say

When I had my hair cut to my shoulders and was already dyed black, a girl in my class said it looked nice and asked in a serious manner if I was actually half SE asian which I am not! .

This is an interesting topic lol! I could giggle at all the teeth ones because I also thought of one immediately.

"You have such perfect teeth. They're so little and white." - Like Chicklets?

"You have great eyebrows." - Even though I understand this one as a woman, it still sounds a little goofy.

"Your hair is so thick! And you have a lot of it!" - I don't even remember how many times a stylist has told me that, but something tells me if I showed them my beard and sideburns up-close, that might make the compliments cease and desist.

"You have soft, little hands." Or "You have soft hands... and your fingers are long." - Okay..

"What's wrong with your eyes? You have dark spots around them. I mean.. it's pretty." - One of my "friends" in middle school told me that... and I never forgot it.

"Your nose is the perfect size. It's not too big and not too small." - To which, I say "Yeah but look at it from the side."

"Oh." *silence*

Good example of why we should all be checking our words at the door of our mouths.

Prov 25:11 "Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances."

So are words unfitly spoken like apples of barbed wire in a puddle of lava?


Prov 10:19 "When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise."

Prov 17:28 "Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent."

Or as they say, "It's because light travels faster than sound that so many people look bright until they open their mouths."


However, for you to think on is Prov 19:11 "A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression." Just let it go. I'd be willing to bet he knows he dropped a bomb and felt bad about it. A forgiving spirit makes an already pretty person even prettier.

Resist the urge to throw a low stinger at his shins at the next church Ultimate Frisbee competition.
