“A Bit Weird, But Okay”: Our Community Shares The Weirdest Compliments They Ever Received (40 Stories)
Say what you want, but the skill of complimenting someone is a very subtle one.
Some praises are like magic wands that always work. For example, "Talking to you is like a breath of fresh air!" or simply, "Wow, you look beautiful," or "You tell the craziest jokes."
However, there are plenty of people in the world who choose to stray from the traditional path of praise in favor of something more original, peculiarly specific, or downright bizarre, leaving their unfortunate targets to wonder whether they should be flattered, irritated, confused, deeply amused, or perhaps, all of the above.
I asked the Bored Panda community to share the weirdest compliments they ever received, and truth to be told, the responses did not disappoint.

“Nice muscles… for a girl,” a football player at my school said this to me, roughly 10 seconds before I almost broke his arm in an arm wrestle.
Never mess with a swimmer. Or a girl. Or a girl that swims. I guarantee that you will be injured either mentally, physically, or both.

A woman once said to me with exaggerated enthusiasm, "Oh, I just love the way you apply your makeup! It looks so natural - especially your blush! And I know what I'm talking about because I used to sell makeup."
I replied, "I'm not wearing any blush. That's just a mild case of rosacea."

As a black girl please stop holding us to beauty standards! Just because we are black doesn't mean we are not as pretty! This comment makes no sense and is rude. If you want to compliment us then compliment us. Don't say the above comment. Please.

I was told by an elderly white lady that “You’re a pretty little colored girl.” I was in college and it was around 2001 or so. I don’t feel like she was trying to be hurtful or disrespectful, but I didn’t know how to respond.

Ugggggggg!!! Some of these older generation people. I've had to educate some of my family members who were shocked that saying that was offensive. They truly mean no harm, but their ignorance NEEDS to be corrected and called out.

An ex-friend once said "She's pretty...for an Asian girl," to the lovely bartender that took care of us at least once a week. He didn't try to keep her from hearing it and he had no idea why I looked him like I did - he thought it was hilarious and was quite proud of his joke.
Sweetpotato314 2 years ago
I have been told that a lot of times - way more than you can imagine. I've also been told I'm smart for a "black chick." Like, WTF? You're not complimenting me! I've heard, "I don't like black people, but I like you." No - you can't like me if you don't like Black people, dummy.

I wore a new t-shirt with a purple cat on it to college. Us students from different classes got squeezed together into one room for a lecture on internships.
In the middle of the lecture, in the center of the room, and with every student's full attention, our teacher suddenly falls silent. He peers over the rim of his glasses, at my shirt.
"...Nice pussy."

Just some thoughts here from me: Ladies, so you know guys often don't get complimented very often and thus we remember a compliment (even the weird ones) for a very long time and with a lot of impact. Feel free to compliment someone, you may have a bigger impact than what you might know. I'm a guy so trust me on this one. I truly wish I had received a lot of these compliments back in my youth or even now. Perhaps a less lonely existence might have resulted in my life.

A guy in HS called me Starla. I finally asked him why. He said I have a star shape in my left eye. I have green eyes with gold lines. This guy said the gold lines were in the shape of a big star around my pupil. He didn't mean this as a compliment though. He said it like an insult to assert my "fragility in femininity". He fancied himself an intellectual. Always trying to "educate" me on female issues. Yet he threw papers at my head, hid my stuff, and tripped me constantly. His last name was Stafford. He got a staff infection. So I proceeded to call him Staff Infection for the following 6 months until it was picked up by everyone else too. He stopped calling me Starla. :) I decided to pretend his weird name calling was a compliment after I made some friends because of it.

I once had a vampire (phlebotomist) tell me I had, "Nice veins for a heavy person." I was like, "Thanks?" Continued with, "Most heavy people have bad veins because they don't drink a lot of water." I was nearly 40, 190 pounds and very pregnant. And I was only as hydrated as I was because I'd read an article years ago from a nutritionist who swore by drinking a liter of water a day per trimester.
