    "You're pretty thick for a white girl". When I was in the army, from male soldier. I'm from California and "thick" wasn't a good thing yet there. My roomie from the south laughed her butt off at my look of shock.

    A friend's boyfriend always used to say that I'm not as dumb as I look. Apparently, I was supposed to take that as a compliment to my appearance and just ignore the part that was calling me stupid because no one understand why it pissed me off.

    I HATE that phrase! :grumble: Why do guys think it's a good pick-up line?

    "You're looking thin lately." (Said with a smile as a compliment)

    I don't want to look thin, I want to look, and be, strong. :(

    I had lost a lot of weight and was at my lowest weight in YEARS (from size 20 to size 6!). I mentioned to my boyfriend that before me he only liked "skinny girls" hoping for a compliment on my big weight loss. Instead he said "Not anymore, now I like you." I know what he meant but it just showed he didn't consider me one of the "skinny girls".

    That might have been a bumbled attempt at being really sweet. I think he meant that he didn't like ANY other girls anymore because he only has eyes for you.

    Yesterday, in the gym.... as I walked into the weight room my trainer wished me a happy birthday. I did my workout, then one of the guys came over and wished me a happy birthday. He asked if I would mind telling him how old I was. So I told him, (41) his response - damn, you are fit for an old girl. My response...umm thanks, to which he responded, well I wouldn't kick you out of bed... My response, you'd never get me in your bed :)

    Oh, and I would say that he was at least a year or two older than me.

    Friend: "Wow, you look great how much weight have you lost?"
    Me: "O, around 50 lbs!"
    Friend: "Oh my god, that's the size of a small child"

    From my husband: "You look EXACTLY like your mom from behind. But that's not a bad thing."

    Thanks dear, you just won the "stupid crap your husband says" award for the year. :noway:

    Good for you! He may be older, but it sounds like he still needs to practice on little girls who don't know any better. :drinker:

    In a bar:

    "You should just give up. No REAL MAN wants you, just go ahead and turn *kitten*."

    Then he turned around to leave and my brother punched him in the face. True story.

    Wow, now that's a real brother! Mine probably would have joined in with him.

    I get tired of getting compared to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bruce Willis and Hulk Hogan.

    They should be getting compared to me.

    I have gotten strange compliments.

    You are too cute to be Hard of Hearing or to have a disability.

    My sis told me I will lose my boobs if I lose more weight. I hate hearing this. :(

    Some people said I look like Erin Burnett from CNN & I think she is too pushy & annoying sometimes. I wonder if others think we have the same personality or resemblance.

    This comment was from a regular gym goer that I see all the time.
    He walks up to me, using hand signals to get my attenetion while I was squatting.
    He says "whoa! look at your quads! You're starting to look like Chyna (the female wrestler)"
    Um, excuse me?
    Like my I asked for your opinion on my body. I told him I look NOTHING like Chyna. I dont take steriods or consume huge amounts of calories to look like her. Screw off.

    "I'd sleep with you, even though I prefer skinny chicks."

    :laugh: Sure dude, buy me drinks all night long.... Actually, he was pretty pissed when I went home with someone else. Guess he though I should have been grateful that he was willing to have sex with me.
