Not unusual and memorable for the wrong reasons but when people tell me I look great for being a mom! 😤😤4

Years ago I was checking out at the dollar store and 2 teenage boys were in line behind me. I heard them talking about my butt....they kept saying I had "been blessed". 😂 Like kept saying it, it's now a joke in my family that anyone with a big booty has "been blessed".9

Probably the most memorable/unusual - Years ago I was eating dinner at Outback and the waitress got right up next to my eyeball (seriously) and said my eyes looked like "Ella Enchanted" (Anne Hathaway).
One that I've had a bunch of times and find strange - yet LOVE - is when I'm wearing anything with my alma mater on it and people ask if I played sports there. I was totally sedentary and close to 300 lb back in college and one lady even said I had a basketball player build. I laughed for the rest of that day.

I was working as a bouncer at a country night club and this girl came up to me and said "Opie, is that you." This is when Sons of Anarchy was a big hit. At the club we wore these biker style vests and I was dressed pretty much like I am in my profile pic.2

“You’re not the kind of guy I’d want to have fun with for a night or two. I’d marry you once I wanted to settle down.”4

I had just finished a training run, outside, at a city park on one of the running trails.
It was Summertime and it was very hot and ridiculously humid.
I'm standing there, with my hands on my knees, catching my breath after a pretty arduous sprint.
I look up and notice a young, attractive lady, about 5 feet away, looking at me.
She then said to me: "My God, look at you.... your body; you and I could have some fun !!"
She was with a friend, and her friend just started laughing. (probably from my reaction.)
My witty comeback was: "Oh........... Okay."7 -
"you have a perpendicular face"
...was that a compliment?
I heard "you look like a man"3 -

In college I volunteered in my aunt's first grade class. My first day, I walked in and there was a hush that went over the room. Then there were oohs and ahhs and somebody said, "Look, a princess is in our class!" I took it as a huge compliment. Little kids crack me up, the way they see the world, like it's a fantasy. They called me "our beautiful lady," and they were always so pleased to see me! Adorable!5

"you are pretty on the inside" (in comparison to her daughter)3

When I was a young teen my friend told me that other girls tried to act like me but with me it was real.
I have no idea what that meant but I took it as a compliment4 -
I had a friend who was 6' tall and her boyfriend 6'5"
We had gone to a Halloween party then decided to play pool after at their place. Being short, 4'11" , I've always worn heels for the most part. I took off my shoes and when the boyfriend stood next to me he said "Oh how cute.... you're like a Midget!" I'm pretty sure that it was meant as a compliment 🤨4 -
A stripper told me I'd be perfect for radio. Not sure if she meant my face or voice but I didnt put any more dollars in her g string that night 😂3
-
That I can't be put in a box
(She didn't mean physically. I think)1 -
I used to get carded way into my 40's. It was a bit disheartening when that stopped. But now, on the other side of the coin, at 66 I have to beg for senior discounts.3

Back when we first met the SO called me "a little bitty thing". I'm 5'9" and I was in heels at the time. However, he's 6'9" so perspective is everything.4

I'm SORT OF tall (5'8") but I was the tallest student by far in elementary school, like 5'4" and taller than every 5th grader even when I was in 3rd grade...taller than several of my teachers even. My bubble was SO burst when I got to middle school (6th grade) and there were tons of girls taller than my 5'6" at the time...and a dozen boys too. My dad was a burly 6'4" back then and everyone assumed I'd be over 6 feet. Nah. Quit growing at 14.2 -
I’ve had many people tell me I look 25. I’m 37. Love that. 💕3

Someone here told me my face was very symmetrical once - 🤷♂️0
