Idk if this will count, but my bff was talking about her weight and said something like "I would never be a giant cow weighing over 300 pounds" or something like that.. I said, "I' weigh over 300 pounds.. she's like NOOOO there's noo way ur THAT big... so do I count that as a compliment or an insult? (poor thing) lol

When I was a teen, my mom would pester me that I should pluck my eyebrows ("you'd be so pretty if you plucked your eyebrows"). One day, I responded that my friend (who was a beautiful blonde cheerleader with Brooke Shields thick eyebrows) didn't pluck her eyebrows. Mom replied, "But she's naturally pretty."

"you're a beautiful girl, even with that big bum and hips... u know after all you're Italian..."
Ugh!! How rude! And what does italian have to do with it. I'm italian and the ladies in my family were/are very athletic and fit.0 -
I think I would have kicked her in the neck!!! OMG!!!! RUDENESS!! This actually made my mouth drop and I gasped when I read this!! I cant believe there are 18 pages of these!! Some of them are horrific!!!The other day, one of my co-workers noticed that my pants were very baggy (and they were some of my skinny(er) pants!). She came up to me, slapped my hips and told me that I need to stop loosing from my *kitten* and hips. "you should focus more on your stomach, do some crunches or something". I was shocked! While I explained to her that I do not have a choice WHERE the fat is coming off, I lifted my shirt to show her my stomach, which is now getting definition and you can see my ab muscles. "And I do core work all the time... does your stomach look like this?"
She got mad and walked away.. then later admits she should start going to the gym again.
BTW-I always got "you have such a pretty face..." when I was a child. Then I developed into a Broad In Total Control of Herself and finally asked '...whats wrong with the rest of me??" Needless to say the conversation ends there
Yeah, I really wanted to throat punch her so badly... but had to refrain... on the up side, today she told me I looked fantastic and my my tummy has disappeared....0 -
My Mom, sometime around my 18th birthday:
"You know, out of my three kids you were cutest." Pause. Then: "And you're the one who's changed the most..."
???
Bless her, she really didn't mean it in a nasty way - but I was rather shocked at first. Now I tease her about it though - she can't remember the situation and keeps telling me I'm oversensitive, LOL. When I'm in a very chipper mood I tell her, that's because sensitivity to feelings obviously skipped a generation in our family... : )0 -
"Your hair is so long, and pretty, now!" :frown: Like there was something WRONG with it when it was short? My butt. Kiss it.
*typos0 -
"You're one of two people I'd bang."
Just sayin.0 -
You have a cute face...though - Yea...and the rest of me0
-
Wow, I thought you were a lot lighter then that.0
-
"No, it's okay, you can wear white pants now!"0
-
For all the people who hear "You're so much prettier without glasses!"
I had glasses before I got contacts and I learned that a great response was, "Hey, without my glasses you look better, too!"
That pretty much shut them up.
Love this!!! TY for making me smile today!0 -
That I was a 7....by someone I was dating and thought we were getting serious. I mean...I guess I was better than the midpoint on the scale, but still not exactly what you want to hear from the guy desperately trying to get into your pants.0

"Every time I see you you just get prettier and prettier these days" - from my Grandmother since I have been losing weight0

my wife gets this ALL the time, especially from her family members, and it makes her want to chop all of her hair off again.
I have very short hair, and when I was single often got the advice "maybe you should grow your hair...you attract more flies with honey, you know".
Because I am deeply interested in dating someone who can't see past the length of my hair.0 -
Wow you lost weight, ALOT of weight....... U need to stop...... I feel great though n they say im getting to skinny:(0

When shopping in some upscale stores or departments having a salesperson say "I'm not certain that we carry anything in your size." I was just looking --- not buying -- anyhow. That's why I love Pinterest. No judgements!0

Kid at work- "I'm chubby. Like you!"
me- "you think I'm chubby?"
kid- "...the cute kind of chubby.."0 -
"Wow you I never knew you weighed that much you hide it so well"0
-
Also the other day at work someone said "don't you go getting all slim and trim and no fun on us!" (regarding their love of pub style restaurants)---- I thought I was on my way to looking slim and trim, but I guess not.0
-
From my grandma - "You aren't nearly as fat as you were the last time I saw you!"
... I was 10 pounds or so heavier and she's not one to talk.
I too have gotten the "You carry it well".0 -
"You're one of two people I'd bang."
Just sayin.
Would is help if it was "you're the FIRST of two people I'd bang"?
Just askin'.0 -

THIS!^^ A guy I was friends with in high school had the audacity to tell me years later, "The reason I never went for you in high school was because your hair was too short and butch. Now that it's long, we can totally date, now!"
Oh be still, my beating heart.0 -
I've seen it mentioned here a lot, but I also frequently get, "you look fantastic for having two kids!" If people would leave off the "for having two kids" and just say "you look fantastic," maybe I'd consider it a real compliment. As it is, it kind of hurts my feelings. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Lol.
I had lost 30 pounds and was out with a friend who has always been much heavier than me and unable to lose weight (she "tries" but can't seem to lose on the burgers/fried foods/etc diets... don't know why, rofl). She told me that she "thinks of (me) every time (she) eats chicken wings, because they look just like (my) collar bone." WTH? Seriously, now... wth? I didn't even know I HAD collar bones until I lost those 30 pounds, so I tried to tell myself that she was just jealous, but it's something that still makes me scratch my head, 8 years later.0 -
From my husband when I showed him the before / after picture last time I lost weight (and coincidentally right before i gained it all back)
"Wow!! You look completely different! I can't believe I used to sleep with THAT!!!!"0 -
It was: "Well, your grandfather did pass on good genetics."0
-
"You look really good today! Did you lose weight?" Um, NO I didn't. or "You look like you lost weight!" when I didn't. Why always bring weight into it? Just say 'You look good/you look nice today' or don't say anything at all. My former boss used to say this to me all the time and it used to piss me off to no end. Finally I told him "Do me a favor - don't ever say that to me again, even if I look like I lost weight. It's not a compliment and it makes me feel crappy." Needless to say, I don't work there anymore.0
-
"What kind of pills did you take to lose weight?" Um, none thanks....I did it by diet and exercise. Then they get mad when you tell them that.0
