    Where's She-Hulk run off to?

    which was kind of funny to everyone else and a bittersweet reaction from me.

    The worst though was - Even when you're silent and not making any noise - your personality is just too loud and I don't want to be in the same room with you that often, sorry baby.

    gotten lots of strange compliments on my jewish schnoz. mostly regarding its supposed asymmetry :-/

    An elderly guy said to me on the street once: "You have a great *kitten*! Are you Jewish?" LOL I've wondered ever since then if Jewish women are known by octogenarians for their great rear ends or something.

    Two of them:

    "Wow, you're smokin' hot. I'd totally date your daughter." Some guy on here.

    and the other

    "Dang, you're as old as my moms. What did you do, pickle yourself?" Getting carded going into a concert venue.

    any time I'm single my extended family is like, "it's ok, you'll find someone, you're so smart and funny and your face is so pretty!" as if I am sooooo sad about being single. no need for the backhanded compliments! :angry:

    'Whats your ethnicity? You don't look normal.'

    LoL! I got that one too! I had 2 separate people come up to me and ask me what my ethnicity is, and when I told them, western European, they both said "no, thats not it, you have a look about you........when I asked them what they meant by that, they said I had an "exotic" look. I didnt take it as a compliment! WTH?

    "you're hot as balls"

    Right?! I've gotten that before too, lol!! Last I checked, 'balls' aren't hot! :laugh:

    you try walking around with them, you'll find out whether they're hot or not


    (hint: they are)

    "You have really incredible eyebrows."


    WTH.

    Uh oh. I tell people this all the time.

    I just really like eyebrows.

    haha I get quite a few compliments on my brows and am really flattered by it. When we first started dating, my fiancé asked me if I get them professionally done and I was like "WAT?" because I just pluck about 4-5 hairs from each one, they're totally natural. He followed up with, "Because they look awesome". Good save, haha.

    I've had lots of old men tell me that I'd be beautiful, or could be an actress, newscaster (yep both of those named specifically) - if I lost 30 lb. At the time it honestly just kind of amused me because I needed to (and still need to) lose more like 70-something lb, not 30! But yeah it was semi-offensive also.

    In high school I was frequently told that I looked like Kathy Najimy and/or Mama Cass. NOT happy. In later years, when I got Elisabeth Shue, Rose McGowan, Anne Hathaway, and "young Liza Minnelli" comments...I was actually pleased, because it was better to me than those other two!

    DID NOT get offended. Thought it was sweet but weird. I was thinking weirdest, not worst... because I clearly have the worst reading comprehension skills ever! Sorry :)

    Oh yeah...I am very familiar with the "pretty face" compliment. UGH! I used to work with a much younger woman who was very traditionally "hot" and she would say stuff like that to me all of the time. I really don't think she meant anything mean by it but it was irritating.

    that's kinda awesome actually, as a way to strike up a conversation with somebody and see if they have a sense of humor. :happy:

    "You look like Drew Barrymore/Abby from NCIS/Zooey Deschanel/Katy Perry/Flo from Progressive"

    Bascially, if you have dark hair with bangs, get ready for these. We do not all look alike! I was offended by all of these, but was told I should be flattered because they're oddly hot. Just what every girl dreams of: being odd and hot.

    When I was extremely pregnant with my son, people would tell me, "I didn't even know you were pregnant!"

    Keep in mind, I knew that they were just trying to appease me because I was this hideous fat bloated creature-- but it was like, oh, yeah. I just look like I swallowed a globe ALL THE TIME. And not a regular one-- one of those ones you put out for Christmas in your front lawn.

    Not that there's too many things you can say to a pregnant woman to actually make her feel better...

    I get that all the time when I have straight across bangs.

    I love the Katy Perry one. I work that s***.

    For the record, I totally agree with you. I also throw Katy Perry in there, too. I worship the ground they walk on.

    It was NOT awesome. I assure you. It was someone I knew from high school who I saw a couple of years ago. He was being serious.
