    I was told by a 21 year old (I'm 26) "Wow, I did not know you were THAT old, I mean I could tell that you were older, but not THAT much!!"

    Me: "Umm... I'm only 5 years older than you... :huh: "

    I'm 25 and had a 20-year-old tell me "Wow, you're 25? I hope I'm as well preserved as you when I'm that age!"
    Weirdest. Compliment. Ever.

    "You look like your dad."

    Not sure if it was a compliment or insult. At least I know that I don't have to go onto Maury to find out who my father is.

    My cousin...at the time was 14 I think lost a LOT of weight over summer using the special K diet to the extreme (she'd sleep all day and eat one bowl of special K, no milk at night, then sleep when she started getting hungry)
    I on the other hand at 16 had to work it off.

    I'd finally managed to get to the same size as her (though it took slightly longer) and had to borrow a pair of jeans from her after I'd wiggled them on my aunt said "oh look you've managed to get in them, how you squeezed yourself into those...lets just hope you don't stretch them too much, might have to shrink them in the wash"

    yeah sharing clothes is an official no-no now

    A guy in a parking lot of a gas station comes over to hit on me while my boyfriend is inside. He made 3 attempts at hitting on me really and each line got worse and worse.

    "Hey beautiful lady, (wait for it...) you are gorgeous, you know, (wait for it...) I'm sure you don't hear that very often." WTF?!?!
    "Actually I hear it all the time, but thank you."
    "I know you big girls don't get enough love." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
    "Actually, I get plenty of love thank you very much."
    And here is the line that really made the rest pale in comparison ...
    "Yeah, but I know most other guys only probably hit on you because they know fat girls are easier, I just want to get to know you."

    This ruined my whole week.

    oh.my.god!!!! what a jerk!!

    And my personal non-favorite:

    "You're such a plain Jane, it's so nice to talk to someone who's not a supermodel or thinks she's all that." I've gotten variations on this one for the past 20 years, from guys who think that the way to compliment me is apparently to tell me I'm not attractive.

    Um...thanks? :grumble:


    ^^This. UGH.

    i think for me the one that springs to mind was when i was sitting in the Dr's waiting room and some little old man points to a !weight loss" poster and said "thats what you need".....i was so gobsmacked...i know he was old maybe not the full ticket, but i still want to hiss at him when i see him lol...

    oh and i get the "you carry your weight well" and "you look great for having had 5 children" i never know how to take that...

    On my wedding day, not 1 person (including hubby) said I looked nice. However EVERYONE said to me ''Your dress is lovely'' I mean it's my wedding day, lie to me!!!!!!!! Hubby said my nails looked nice.

    And the other one which men say is ''You've got a great *kitten*!'' or ''nice body, shame about the face!''
    Also had as a chat up line ''I really like birds with small t!ts''
    Really! Really!

    How could I forget this one?

    "You look good, but with a little diet and exercise, you'd look great!"

    First date with a guy that could have stood to eat a few more meals!

    *kitten*!
