    "You're only 23? Wow, you look so.....mature."
    "What happened, you used to have such lovely skin?"
    And this one from an ex-friend who was always around 70 or more lbs heavier than me, "Wow, you look so much better now. For a while, I was really worried about you because you really let yourself go and go so big."

    These were all comments from other women too. Sad how some people feel the need to be so vicious sometimes due to their own insecurities.

    "You'd be so attractive if you were a man."

    I'd like to say it was a stranger but it was family...

    Lol I've gotten that one too from my gay male friend. I think he meant it as a compliment though.

    As a kid, I was told more than once by my peers that an ugly duckling grows up to be a beautiful swan. Not something you want to hear, especially from someone that constantly brings it up without any reason to.

    When I was pregnant with both of my children my mother in law would say every time I walked in the room, "Look out, here comes the lumpy lady!" It may not sound that bad, but when mixed with pregnant hormones, I was ready to punch her in the throat!

    When I started dating this guy, I was 5'6" and maybe 155-160 lbs. He really liked me at that weight and actually told his friends in front of me that I "didn't have an ounce of cellulite" So not true, but okay. I knew I was heavier than I wanted to be and was pretty uncomfortable at that weight. We broke up, I didn't see him for a few months, and I dropped about 20 lbs. The next time I ran into him, he said, "I know you always said you needed to lose weight, but I could never see it. Now you look like a lollipop." (Which interpret as him thinking my head was too big for my body, since at 140, I was still plenty curvy, just smaller and fitter.) So, uh. Still not sure what to think about all that. My head size is just fine, thankyouverymuch.

    My family is Asian and they in general won't speak English. I never learned Chinese. So one day my uncle says something to me and about 20 relatives snicker... so I ask a cousin, "What did he say?" my cousin replies, "Oh. That you're fatter than ever."

    Ouch. We were all adults. He could have faked something or said he missed it. Double score for the family. :grumble:

    Wow, That haircut makes you look so much thinner.- Was thinking, wow did I really look that fat before? But I know the person who said it had right intentions. Or had a guy in the past before I met my husband tell me I needed to be more feminine, learn to let others do stuff for me etc and act more like a lady cuz I am always doing everything myself.At that time I was working unloading semi trucks and I was a single parent with 3 kids so used to doing alot of stuff on my own. And before that had a guy I knew tell me you have alot of muscles for a girl. That isn't a bad thing and I saw that as actually a compliment but not sure how you're suppose to take it cuz girls can have muscles as much as men can makes it sound like they aren't suppose to and just guys should.
