    I don't know the best compliment, but one time I was driving I had stopped at a red light and this man next to me asked me to roll down the window. I looked like crap hadn't done anything with myself and I honestly thought he was going to ***** at me for my driving or something and he just said "you are very pretty have a nice day" I was stunned didn't know what to say besides thank you and It made me happy all day and even when I think about it . :smile:

    wow, that is very nice! Especially if someone felt compelled to just say it to you for no hidden reason, nice!

    "Your personality and manners are amazing!"

    Random girl at Subway after hearing me interact with the employee on duty.

    the pharmacy I frequent has a regular cashier lady and one day she said to me, "you are the politest person I've ever come across" and I was shocked! I'll never forget it! Though it makes me sad that it was out of the ordinary for her to say so...being sincere and nice to people goes a long way...IRL! here? my thoughts go out my fingers too fast and I lack the social filter - I don't think it works the same brain to motor movement as brain to out of mouth. if that makes sense. oops! :D

    Mine actually comes from a female elderly client. My first day working at a new branch, she stopped me and said "I just wanted to tell you, you are so beautiful!" This is me at 240-something pounds!

    Then a few months later her son came in with her and she turned to him and said, "this is the pretty girl I was telling you about".

    So sweet! My husband says I have a "throwback" look, like women had in the 40's-50's, so I think that's why a lot of older people think I'm beautiful, LOL.

    Nice tits. I said thank you, but I'm a guy. I was so confused.

    A woman I didn't recognize gave me a big hug in the hallway of the courthouse. She told me her name. I had arrested her previously for meth manufacturing. She thanked me for arresting her and said it helped her turn her life around.

    That is adorable, I often tell people they are pretty but it's nice to hear it can actually make their day

    First time I shaved my head, "Can I lick your head?" Totally random lady.

    "Jesus you are some kind of specimen, look at you! You are one bad dude!"

    "You're one tough son of a *****"

    "I've heard the stories, can I try?"

    My favorite from my old Drill Sgt., "Soldier you are going to make one HELL of a fine Drill Sergean one day!"

    Compliments from my patients mean the most to me. I've had the usual compliments on my weight loss, but what really moves me is when someone commends me on my manners or how well I'm doing my job, how I should go for bigger things, how great I'm doing for my age. They all become my mom for a brief moment and boy let me tell you, there is nothing like hearing a stranger say how proud they are of you.

    I ran in to an old friend last weekend and got "omg look at you, you look so fit". That has been the best one in a long time, felt good to have someone really take notice of my arms/shoulders etc.

    The other day I got a "hello gorgeous" and a "it was so nice to see your beautiful face this morning, it made my day". I am so not used to compliments, nevermind so many in one week. I am also finally learning to just smile and say "thank you".

    I was in the grocery store one day a few months ago, and I was looking particularly terrible that day (at least I thought so).. I was just about to leave after paying for my groceries and the guy who was bagging my groceries, probably my age or a little older, randomly said to me "You are very beautiful" and smiled. I just said "oh, thank you" but I was really caught off guard. Haha. Made me feel good though.

    I get compliments on my outfits all the time, sometimes from perfect strangers.

    One time, Tony Award nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger told me she liked my dress. Another time, Tony Award winner Idina Menzel told me she liked my hat. (Yes, I am bragging here, and chances are, not many people will even know who Celia or Idina are but I DON'T CARE.)

    I have had female friends tell me that they would 'go lesbian' for me.

    But I think the very best came when I was getting my hair cut and I brought a picture of Marion Cotillard in because I was totally copying one of her hairstyles, and the lady cutting my hair asked me if we were related, because we looked similar. HA HA HA WHAT, I LOOK NOT A THING LIKE MARION COTILLARD but it was still an amazing compliment because she is the most beautiful woman in the world, sooo.
