Weird compliments

[Apollo Celestio]

A years ago I was told I have soft hands.

As a guy, it's almost an insult to have soft hands.

Actually.. this is mine too. Same guy said it twice, and a girl said it once. It's like, is that good or bad?

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.

Hahahaha, well I wasn't angry at him.
I figured he probably meant something else, but it just happened to come out the way he said it. Like I said, he's married and has a teenage daughter, so I'm sure he's got some experience with women.... it just may have came out all wrong.

Which is why I just smiled, nodded, shook his hand and let it slide.

I agree. Unless you play hockey and you do want silky smooth hands!

Hockey players are so

people always say they love the way I talk which is wired to me.

I have had my ears complimented. Which is just random and makes me a bit suspicious of the person who told me that.

And I have a few friends that text me every time they hear the song "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" and I choose to take it as a compliment. Because feeling insulted is a lot of work LOL

And the inside joke in my family is that the only thing sexy about me are my ankles so I get a lot of those comments when I'm around them

someone told me that i resembled ben rothlesburger (sp?)

in light his recent run-ins with the media, i don't know if that really is a compliment or not. the fact is, i look nothing like him.

I've gotten that one before, too.

So you're really hyperactive and talk like Chip and Dale?

So you're 6'5", 300 pounds and don't wear a helmet while riding a rice rocket?

If you were my sister, I'd armbar the guy that called you that. At least, from my understanding of that phrase.

'You have skin like a baby...' Not really sure what that meant, but hopefully she meant it looked soft, poreless, and even-toned.

Not that really is any of those things without a bit of beauty paste...

There's also a Malay woman at one of the local stores in the mall, who asked me how I stay pale, and then proceeded to go on a tangent about bleaching creams, gloves while driving, parasols, etc. It was really surreal; I'd take a bit of melanin and sun damage on my legs at least, the way they're looking right now...

I have no idea what "armbar" is but I appreciate the sentiment.

Although I didn't say they were guys, just friends

DOUBLE POST! Amazing!

 

[MacFall]

Triple Post! Woooooooooo

 

[MacFall]

I once had a few ladies tell me that they were intimidated by my intelligence. When I apologized (sincerely, but somewhat puzzled) they said it was supposed to be a compliment.

Armbar:

Although I didn't say they were guys, just friends

Oh, well... if they were girls, err... I'd find a girl who was willing to armbar them...

Technically, that's a flying armbar, but it's all the same end result.

Just today, I was called a big spirit-filled doughnut.

Has anyone ever been complimented on their handwriting? What's that about??

Well, by my mother. However, mom compliments don't count, do they?

 

[smacky ramone]

I compliment people on their handwriting and on how they smell. I like it when people smell nice, but sometimes they take it as weird.

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.

yeah one of my friends told me that one time and i got mad lol ok i wear pants...every day...but my clothes are so skin tight i dont know how i could look like a boy! might be the short hair but good greif... how many old ladies do we see with short hair?
