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.

He's just really bad at compliments. I looked at his so very sweet face, and told him that since I knew him and really loved him, and knew what he meant, I would enjoy that compliment forever, but that if any other man ever said that to me I would punch them in their head. He said he knew it was wrong as soon as it left his mouth, but it was like little mouth farts, he couldn't recall them in time. I laughed so hard it hurt. Still Love that guy.

I was getting an ultrasound several years ago to look for ovarian cysts and the doctor said "you have the most perfect uterus I've ever seen! It should be in a textbook!" Thanks I guess? Another time I was in class and a few ladies said I was "the thickest white girl we've ever seen" which according to them was in fact a compliment.

I got told I look like 'Tom Hanks.. somewhere between 'Big' and 'Cast Away' if you know what I mean!'. On the Same day, I was asked by another lady if I 'donate sperm? Because I wouldn't want to f**k you, but I'd love to have a kid like you!'

The weirdest compliment I ever got was from the mother of a (male) online friend of mine. He lives in another country, and the train arrived VERY early, and it was a small town, so there were no cafes or restaurants open that early in the morning. So my friend just grabbed me and off we drove to have breakfast with his parents. His mother did not know that we were coming, so she had no time to clean the kitchen., and she was very stressed about that. But when we left she told me: "you are very nice, you're not a bimbo, so you may visit us again anytime, even when the kitchen is not cleaned" And for some reason that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

Once a guy yelled "Mamazota!" at me in a thick colombian accent, I was caught so off guard I just laughed. The thing is, calling someone "mamacita" (little mama) means that such girl is sexy (tbh comparing someone you like to a mother irks me) but mamazota would translate to big mama, so it felt like the guy at the same time called me thick (which I kinda was at the time) and the part that stuck with me instead of being "this guy things I'm sexy" was "this guy just called me fat!"

I just hate when people say a compliment in a surprised way. They are not backhanded compliments, it's just the people who are complimenting have low expectactions of you, you know? Like "Oh you look so feminine!" (just because I was wearing heels. I'm all about confort, do not wear high heels that often.). Or "Oh you really understood this and it was very complex!" (yeah, not a total idiot! It was my boss who said it, after I had some very specific doubts about a project, which showed that I had both read the whole thing and understood it, hence my questions. I did point out to him "You know, you could have sound less surprised when you said that. He agreed and apologized.). And this one time, I had this really nice black suede jacket, and my friend's mom complimented on nice it was, beautiful (she never said it looked good on me!), nice cut, completely different style from what I usually wear and then finally said: "It's a really nice jacket you have there. Too nice. Oh well."

If there's one thing I"ve learned over the years, never compliment strangers.

Complimenting strangers is ok if it is simply meant as a compliment and then you move on. If it is meant as a way to get something back (a conversation, date, another compliment) then it is likely it won't be received well.

My brother works in an Op Shop (thrift store) and many of the people he works with and serves are middle aged ladies. He has gotten so many compliments on his pretty eyes. They are a really nice azure blue with long thick eyelashes. All three of my brothers had really long eyelashes and I inherited my mum's short fine ones :)

My mum is a retired school teacher. Years ago there was a sport event at her school, where teachers and pupils from other schools took part. The children did athletics, and mum and teachers from other schools assisted. She thought one of the male leaders was rather good looking. He looked very well trained and impressed her. She couldn't help trying to show off a bit and suddenly he approached her. He looked appreciative, and she realized he was going to say something, a compliment perhaps? He looked at her and said, "You are a typical... shot-putter." She's never forgotten this.
