I gotta compliment, well sorta the other day.

'Wow, you look a lot better in person than in your pictures!' Uh, thanks, I guess.. lol



So it got me thinking, have any of you gotten a funny backhanded compliment?

    I've gotten basically the same one. I've been told I look younger in person than in my pictures. not only that, but when I start to speak, I sound even younger! okkaaayyyy.... do I look ancient in my pics or what??? lol!

    When my fiance and I first started dating he told me that he didn't care what other guys thought, he liked girls with small breasts like mine, not big ones like his ex (and I was a 34D at the time!!!).

    "Good seeing you at the gym! You could use it :) "

    ...I quickly responded with "Good seeing your mouth open, I could use it". Never saw their face in the gym again :)

    JeniSue, I have a similar one.

    After I started exercising a few years ago, my boyfriend was rubbing my back and he said, "I can tell that you've lost weight because I'm not moving as much stuff around."

    I could not stop laughing.

    The only one I can remember is the oh-so-popular "you're so pretty since you've lost weight!"

    "Wow you lost like 100 lbs!"

    I lost just under 60 but I guess I looked fatter than I thought.

    My husband told me the other day that he could tell that my butt was smaller. LOL

    At least is was your boyfriend, not some person at the office. I was in shock and horrified that someone at the office would grab my back fat.

    I had a football coach tell me “You’re not as dumb as you look” because I knew my blocking assignments on every play.

    .." Some guys think fat girls are pretty ". WTF? Also, not a back handed compliment..but i told someone that I am losing weight because I am fat. they said " you're not fat! " . I tilted my head and went..." really? do you NOT see me right now? " sometimes being nice is just insulting lol

    I get a lot of 'for a girl' compliments. Your pretty strong/tough for a girl.

    "You are really muscular for a girl, you must have a testosterone imbalance - would be a great female wrestler or rugby player"
