    When my ex-wife and I were dating I asked if she thought I was handsome. To which she said, "You're the funniest guy I've ever known".

    Talk about an ego crusher LOL

    LOL.

    Not really a compliment, but a lot of these made me think of something from the other day.

    Friend: I don't like the cold! Go away winter!
    Me: Aww, I'm the total opposite, I love it.
    Friend: Oh, I'm not fat enough to stay warm though.

    Wow, thanks....

    My mother in law was talking to my new baby and said "you are sooo lucky, your dad is soo smart and your mom... well.. she's pretty"
    All because I haven't finished school (I am 22 and have a semester to go, I am taking a little time off to stay home with my baby). I wasn't reading into the comment, she meant it. She told my husband I am also jealous of her beauty. (LOL...she's my mother in law??)

    Coworker... "Something's different... When did you shave your goatee?"

    Me... "Two years ago."

    Coworker... "Oh... Did you lose weight?"

    Me... "Yeah, I did."

    Coworker... "That must be it."

    I think she was trying to be complimentary but I'm not quite sure...

    Conversation with mother in law ( I had lsot 30 pound at this stage) -

    Mil - So are you going to start losing weight?

    Me- Yep I have already started, have lost a bit and can even fit my engagement ring back on.

    Mil - So you have just lost water weight.

    Me - *silent*

    (wish I would have thought of a comeback fast enough, like yeah dipsh*t, 30 pounds of water weight!)

    She loves to make snide little comments in her loving voice, nobody notices except the person she is making the remark to.

    My mum: Those jeans look lovely on you. Don't be too upset when you get too big for them again.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, mum! My mum is lovely, but sometimes it's like she totally fails to realise how you'll feel when she says something like that.

    Makes me laugh every time I think of it: "I thought that was you, but then I thought, 'No - that girl's too thin.'"

    Not a backhand compliment, but regardless:

    Me: *points at moms book with a buff *kitten* guy on the cover* That's my goal.

    Mom:

    "I mean, it's an impressive amount of sit ups you just did, but that's probably because you're less flexible from your back so it's easier."

    Saw a couple old friends after I gained a bunch of weight in college:

    "Oh hey, we heard you gained a bunch of weight....but you actually carry it really well!"

    :ohwell:

    The first time I lost over hundred pounds, my dad looked at me when I was home from college and said you're almost not fat. Love him, but he doesn't always think before speaking.

    "You're getting too skinny now."

    Say whaaaaat? It used to be that I was too fat. Now I'm too skinny? I don't see it.. Where's the middle ground?!
