DancingQueen:)

While i was helping out in a primary school one of the juniour infants said i reminded her of a pancake, but that it was ok becasue she liked pancakes Strange but nice in an odd way.

Look like Harry Potter, the huge star in the films
Wasn't aimed at me, it was at a work colleague

If it was aimed at me I'd be offended

Papa_Lazarou

Once i was told i looked like Johny depp cause of my hair -that was the good one

"I see you put on a bit of weight for the winter? Wise of you."

Yes, the person who said this to me was over 80.

"You're so cuddly"

wtf is that?That's worse than calling somebody bubbly! Also I hate being hugged so it was kind of doubly insulting

I have a fairly big vocal range and when I'm relaxed, my voice can get quite husky and low. (If you've heard Mariah Carey talking you'll know what I mean.)
A guy once told me I sounded like a man "in a good way".

He didn't score.

latenia

"You look like the kind of guy gays would fancy."

oh cheers

Started doing night shifts for a bit a few years back. A few weeks in, the (female, quite attractive for a 30 something) boss says "Oh you look like youve lost weight"

Brilliant. Month or 2 later "Oh you look much healthier than before"

Way to sugarcoat the gaining of weight! If i was a woman, id have been insulted.

You're not bad for a fat bird.

I too have that cross to bear... you could always say you're cuddly like a polar bear and then rip their face off.

I was nicknamed the Stig at work due to my conversational skills.

JEdward, the other night. Sickened... Some people thought that was a compliment.

ya-ba-da-ba-doo

I was once told i have perfect toes. Not a bad compliment, just weird.

Captain Havoc

When I was working in hotels abroad I used to get complimented on how good my English was loads of times. One woman from Cork kept saying she couldn't believe how a French man had an Irish accent, she was not able to put 2+2 together, she asked me how long I lived in Ireland for so when I told her 19 years (I was 21 at the time) she looked at me funny but not that penny dropping look more of a how is that logical kind of look (an Irish man that speaks French, surely not).

Maybe they meant a cross between Jacob and Edward. That'd be a lot less insulting.

Hmm odd alright L.

robbie_998

After her asking me the 101 questions I replied:

No I don't drink alcohol at all.

"your different from others !"

Me: "Thank you :rolleyes:"

Her: "No no I didn't mean it like that "

Me: "Suuuure "

awkward silence and smiling then took place afterwards for about 10 minuets.

(but no nothing happened !)

The Big Red Button

"Aahhh would you look at the lovely big fat chubby cheeks on her! You've gotten so fat, come here and give me a kiss!"
- from an elderly relation a few months ago :rolleyes:

"Oh, I see you've a bit of weight on, you're just lucky it goes mostly to your boobs."
- from a "friend" the other night ... that one was definitely a compliment, coming from her!

"Wow, you've really perfected that fake smile ... you're going to fit right in around here!"
- from a new colleague, who - to be fair - was totally creeping me out at the time.

"You're so lucky that you can just go out looking like crap, like right now, and just not even care about it. I could never leave the house looking like that."
- in my defence, I was very hungover at the time

I need to get some new friends ...

i was told one that the squeak i have in my voice makes me sound like a girl in a good way

KnifeWRENCH

Someone told me I look like Chris Penn. They meant it before he became morbidly obese, but even when he was thin, he was NOT a good looking man.

Have also been told I'm "effeminate, but in a good way" before; I had to go build sheds and drink beer to compensate. :mad:

A good few years ago, i kissed this girl before she went off to the US on a J1 visa for the summer. At the end of the summer was so excited to go meet her.
A friends brother came home a few days before this girl cane home and all he could talk about was the food in the US over the summer and that he had put on some weight whilst over there.
So, went to meet this girl anyway and was right nervous. Was all tongue tied etc., and found myself saying the following , "so, did you put on weight over the summer?"

to finish up, never kissed that girl again.

Final

''your so nice, not like i expected at all''

shucks thanks

QuoiFaireX

Old auntie- well you've put on some weight but it suits ya!

Another time this aunt introduced me to a friend of hers 'Here Anne, this is one of the Murrays, Shauna the prettier one'. My sister was standing next to me. Compliment for me but had to console my sister!

thomond2006

Hated to get the "Oh, look how big you've gotten!!" from my relatives when I was younger. :mad:

Yeah, I have been told I have great English for a Polish girl (whilst waitressing) at least 6 times.
