My least favorite thing: When I'm around a person who's very clearly smaller than I am and they call themselves fat. I'm not overweight, but things like that make me feel disgusting.
I've always been over weight, but every thing girl in my high school would constantly call themselves fat0 -
Visited some friends in India and one of the family members wife had recently had a baby. They wanted me to travel there to visit the baby and were so disapointed that I couldn't fit it in to my schedule because "... she's like you you will love her". When i saw a picture of one of the chubbiest babies I had seen.
They care very much for me it was said with the utmost affection but still. Heh
Good one!0 -
About two years ago, when I was at my lowest weight, some guy who was at the bar with a friend of mine came up to me and said "You're pretty hot but you aren't like a ten or anything. You could never be in playboy" I was so caught off guard. All I said was, well thank you, because I have no intentions of ever being in playboy.
Then, he tried to get my number! I wanted to slap him.0 -
My favorite most polite insult I get all of the time is,
"You are such a curvy woman."0 -
For me, you carry your weight well. My mother in law keeps getting me clothes, even though I've asked her not to cause I get depressed about it, "These are too big for me, but they'll fit you."
This and variations on it.0 -
"wow I can really notice your weight loss...mostly in your face" :P0
-
That I carry my weight well. Everyone always says I dont look THAT big. Gee thanks, so I'm a petite hippo. Gotcha.0
-
"You carry your weight well...You're built!" and "You're a big, tall woman and there's nothing wrong with that."
Both from doctors. The second was followed up with a comment about needing to see a dietician. Doctors give the worst back-handed compliments.0 -
Them:How much weight have you lost all together?
Me:around 50 lbs
Them:I cannot imagine you even bigger than you are now.
Me: :sad:0 -
Since this came from a kid, I tried not to be upset about it. But it did hurt.
She was over with her parents one night & saw my wedding picture.
Our conversation went a little like this:
Her- "Is that you?"
Me- "yes"
Her- "Wow! I didn't even recognize you!"
Me - [insert puzzled expression]
Her- "You looked so pretty then!"
Me- Speechless. I guess I'm ugly now? Um. Thank you?
In her defense, she was maybe 12? It hurt though.0 -
I've had my BIL say to my husband and I: "Better watch out, the direction you're heading in you won't be able to turn around, or keep him" w/ a smile on his face and making large gestures with his hands.
"Oh you used to be so pretty!"...younger cousin, I love her but had to point out to her that her choice of words were cruel,( I was at my highest weight)
"You used to be so fast but now you're slow".....I was playing soccer : (.....Not so0 slow anymore N only getting faster!!
"You don't look like a _______ (fill in the blank with any of the following: soccer, basketball, or ice hockey)player"
...all I ever have to say to this one is " Try Me" & it always ends the same, their jaw drops & I'm smiling : D..what can I say even at my heaviest I can play!0 -
I can't count how many guys have approached me and said I was pretty for a black girl. Or I will make an appointment or something where we speak on the phone first and it's always 'you sound white on the phone'. Oh really? I guess I better throw a few more ' you go girls ' into my conversation.I got: "You're pretty cute for a Mexican..bc some Mexicans aren't that cute..but you are" :noway:
wow... insulting and racist...0 -
From a huge (read HUGE) woman in a shoe store where I'm trying on shoes...
"Are you only a size 6?"
Me, looking up at the stranger talking to me, smiling politely... "Errr... Yes"
Woman, shaking her head unbelievingly: "There must be something wrong with you! How can a big body like you have such small feet - how do you balance?" (At that stage of my life I was maybe about 18kg overweight...)
I was so utterly shocked, I didn't even have a good comeback for that!0 -
Everyone tells me that I used to have a basketball for a head

I've had similar encounters with younger family members, but I believe if you're over the age of 10 you should know/learn manners. When my cousin made me feel bad I tried to broaden her perspective and think outside of her own shoes, kids these days are desensitized by media, and other kids, I felt it was my job to step in, and ever since she's been much more considerate and accepting....she's much better company now & has even acted out less in school0

I remember a long time ago my car broke down and the driver had to take me and the car to a service station.. He asked what I was studying for and I told him I wanted to be a singer. He looked shocked and told me I wasn't pretty enough to do that for a living.
OMG. Horrible!! I was once told that my singing and songwriting would improve greatly if I lost 25 pounds.0 -
mine was.... "you would make a good mom. you have the lap for it" :ohwell: lol0

kids are ruthless. my baby is 2 1/2, loves finding nemo, came up to me at the jellyfish part and starting pocking my stomach going, "boing, boing, boing"Since this came from a kid, I tried not to be upset about it. But it did hurt.

This Christmas, my grandma said: "You have a neck now!"
-_-0 -
no way do i EVER wanna look like you in anyway, even if it would be cool to hanglide with my own skin.
oh best line EVER. lol0 -
My ex boyfriend's grandpa told him he "found a good looking heffer"
Now I understand that he may have thought this was a compliment due to country upbringing, but REALLY!?!
AND my ex chose to tell me this story.... Thanks a lot.0 -
"You look so much better now than you did last year"0

That's terrible! Kids can definitely be mean spirited. I once had a little 5 or 6 year old girl say that I had a "big belly" in front of about 15 people (it was at a friend's birthday party). One of the reasons I dislike children nowadays. :frown:0 -
After a really bad break up with my last ex, I was sitting with my mom and SIL just venting....
Me: "I just want my Prince Charming..."
My mom: "Oh honey, Cinderella wasn't fat."
:noway: :grumble:
She did apologize saying it just popped out but Jesus, really?? At my lowest point... :mad:0 -
"Oh I bet you're absolutely gorgeous"
-upon seeing pics-
"You look...healthy."0 -
"Bigger woman turn me on, and if you want to know what if feels like to be treated like a real woman call me"
... Am I not a real woman?0 -

Not really mean spirited they just tell the truth and have no filter yet. I find it refreshing actually no hidden agenda or fake compliments from kids. They mean everything they say.0 -
"Natasha, you look like a pornstar. Except for the boobs part..."0

I'd say mine was from my aunt when I was like 14: "You know, you have such a beautiful face. If you weren't so fat, you'd be a beauty queen for sure." Although there was also this gem: "You know, as pretty as you are, you could make a lot of money as a hooker. I think men would pay well to sleep with you." Does that one count as an insult? I don't even know with that one. My aunt is... blunt, to be sure. Also, weird. The funny thing is that she totally means these to be compliments.0
-
you have a beautiful face- did the rest of me disappear??
your not that big - what is that big???
oh she's pretty cute for a big girl- compared to what other big girls???
oh baby you got that super sized junk in the trunk- actually that he was going get my number.0
