You look comfortable

🤣 stealing that one

In his defense he MEANT effortlessly attractive, so in that sense it’s also one of the best compliments I’ve received.

(From a guy who didn't take car of any of his cars properly...)

"You're like my favorite classic car."

“youre intimidating”

My grandma used to say this when I was younger: "You have a pretty face to be a big girl."

My cousin told me once: "You're a cuter version of your mother." No offense but I never found my mom attractive. 💀 So, I was thinking, how much cuter?!

This last story isn't really a compliment but I figure it would suit getting a good laugh. There was a store I went to as a kid called, Superfresh. My mom always would have me get the most horrible haircuts. (Boyish haircuts or a mullet style) Anyways, we were leaving and the cashier called me "sir". 😂 At that point, I wanted to cry. Haha

I'll let the guys defend their gender but the "intimidating" and "unapproachable" remarks is most often doled out to women who are competant in their career and leisure pursuits, reserved/introspective, contented in their own company and who are also afflicted with RBF 🙄

So unless you're an extrovert, consider taking all the above and being "intimidating" as an actual compliment....just with poor word selection 😉

"You're intimidating," he says. She thumbs the hammer back; for a moment, that click is the loudest sound in the room.

There was a horrific show on a few years ago i think it was called the pick up artist. It was a show geared to show men how to pick up women. One technique was to give backhanded compliments to a woman to get her to engage and let her know you are interested but not gonna get all swoony.

I remember one of them was, your hair looks really good greasy......it was a god awful show lol

That translates to "you intimidate me" and says more about them than you.

While I was holding my youngest as a newer baby, my neighbor said to him.....”it’s a good thing you look like your dad”🙀😂

I don’t know if that’s the worst but it was funny.

Ah yes, a show built around psychologically abusing and gaslighting women in an attempt to get in their pants. This show wouldn't have also happened to have a male co-host that dressed like he had murdered a bunch of black muppets, would it?
