Posted: 7/3/2008 7:39:06 PM | | i guess this really isn't a compliment but someone said "I don't mind the fact that you have a son, it doesn't bother me". Like I'm supposed to say "PHEW Thank god! I was worried" lol. | |

Posted: 7/3/2008 8:03:10 PM | Ah, a guy once told me I'd make an awesome stripper..
Another wanted to draw me as a cartoon character..
And the winner, by a landslide, a guy said this in a bar, this has to be the most f*cked-up compliment ever..
"I would crawl 500 miles over broken glass on my hands and knees to suck the d*ck of the last guy that f*cked you"

Posted: 7/3/2008 9:23:17 PM | "My worst one was "you're too big to date but I'd "do" ya" (and he didn't say "do") ummm I'll pass."
My ex-business partner said that to me! His exact words were, "I don't do fat chicks, but for you I'll make an exception." Priceless. | |

Posted: 7/3/2008 9:51:49 PM | "you're very interesting." he asked me out again, so i guess it was a compliment?!
oh, another one was (unsolicited, mind you): "your face looks like your pics." i was kinda left wondering if he thought i was fat!!! (actually, i'm slim to average and i think he was looking for calista flockhart...he must have thought i was relatively obese!!)
"well, maybe you're cuter than my girlfriend" (from my ex, no less!) | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 12:42:39 AM | Yeah... I've gotten this one quite a bit, too.
others have gotten the birthing hips?!?
The first time I heard it (at the ripe old age of fifteen!) was a guy who told me my hips were perfect for breeding. Great. Something every teenager wants to hear. It's been often repeated over the years, hence the reason I didn't think it the strangest one I had received. However, it looks like my first choice (on the first page) isn't all that uncommon either. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 5:41:42 AM | This wasn't a date or a partner, but it was a guy I was interested in so...
It was about ten years ago. I had quit my job because my employer was demanding that I do something highly unethical and likely illegal. I ended up talking to K on the phone, and I was crying about how I was going to feed my kids now that I didn't have a job, and made some comment about being 35 years old and ... he stopped me and said, "You're only 35? I thought you were at least ten years older than that!"
I knew him well enough to know that he meant I had more life experience and knowledge than he'd expect in a 35-year-old, so I was pleased rather than insulted. Though I had to laugh and tell him that from anybody else, that would have been an insult.
I got a similar comment when I went to church in Bucheon, South Korea for the first time. A pleasant-looking middle-aged Korean man walked up to me, introduced himself, and said, "It is so nice to see someone here old, like me!" Since Korean culture values age, and we were the sole middle-aged people in a congregation of 20-somethings, I understood him, too. (He also begged me not to return to the states, nearly crying when he told me, "This is your home!" If only he knew how true that was. But I had to come back. My family needs me.) | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 7:31:23 AM | | I was playing pool once, and like you "firecracker3", an acquaintance asked do I like dancing, because I look like I do... Coming from a man, I was a bit surprised. He was serious too - This must be quite a common question then? | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 2:41:39 PM | When I was 18, I worked in a Burger King. I was in the dining room cleaning tables one day and some guy walked by and said, "What are you doing in a place like this? You should be modeling." coughbullshitcough
One guy once told me, "You have a beautiful neck." Another once commented on my "tiny little waist" (not quite as tiny these days...).
I've had numerous men online tell me, "I'd do you." By the way, if anyone has a good comeback for this, please share, cuz it's a turn off when I hear it; just comes across as low class and sleazy.
Once when I was in the mall as a teen, some girl walked up to me, pulled on my eyelashes, and said, "Are those real?" "Ouch! Uh, yeah."
But the winner: A man I met online took me to a comedy club, where we were seated right in the front. The comic made a truly hilarious joke and I laughed so hard, I choked on my drink. The comic said, "It's not often I can make a beautiful woman spit out her drink." My date turned to me and said, "Is he talking about you?"  | |

i never seem to come up with a brilliant comeback but i DO enjoy having the last word.....
* big sincere smile, pat his arm, walk away saying "You hang on to those dreams, darlin"
(perfect moment to pull out your best southern drawl)

Posted: 7/5/2008 6:16:21 PM | I like that, but have only had it said to me online (thus far)... One guy I was interested in getting to know said that to me and I was speechless. Didn't even have a response. It did burst my bubble though. I wish I were quicker on my feet, but I usually don't think of the perfect response till days later, if at all. Some of these things men say to us though....they need to be put in their place or at least be made aware of how they're coming across.  | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 11:37:18 PM | i can say one time a woman asked me if my breast were real because they're so round...(they are), also a guy checked the tag on the back of my blouse to see if it said 100% angel...... | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 9:23:32 AM | The strangest compliment I ever recieved was after I had talked on the phone for about two weeks with a man and he said, : " Geez, you have the smarts of a dude"!
I considered it an insult. | |
