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

    Hmm odd alright L.

    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 :o"

    Me: "Suuuure ;)"

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

    (but no nothing happened !)

    "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 :D

    I need to get some new friends ...

    This girl once said I look nothing like my brother.

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

    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.

    "You have a nice personaility.." .. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 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!

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,680 ✭✭✭Tellox


    Maybe they meant a cross between Jacob and Edward. That'd be equally if not more insulting.

    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).

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

    A girl I know (a doctor) was on a ward round and they came to the next patient:

    Patient - When are you expecting dear?
    Doctor - Eh....I'm not.

    Not happy.

    "Richard...you're a really nice guy"......Oh FECK off with that crap, really pisses me off. translation: i don't see you as a sexual being that i'd have sex with.....that's like saying, you're gay or "just a friend" which translates back to either of the examples given.

    One day when a bunch of us exchange students were sitting around together the indian guy suddenly proclaims
    "Mike you have elephant ears"
    Apparently he meant it as a compliment and tried to convince us it meant intelligence, and that people always like to be compared to Ghandi or elephants in his part of india. We all just gave a bit of a laugh and said that it could be taken another way in the west.

    Uncle: 'D'ya know who he looks like, our cousin Therese's eldest'

    Mother: 'Oh yeah he does actually, the good looking one'

    So, basically, they think I look like a girl.:rolleyes:
