    Someone told me that my butt resembled a pack of Hostess Snowballs??? I'm like, uhm. . . I wish my butt was even somewhat close to being that round. LMAO

    When I was heavier...

    1) "You don't look like you weigh that much"... from a medical assistant at my HMO.

    2) "You look like Princess Jasmine from the Disney movie".... some hostess at a restaurant as she was seating us.

    Bageeeta, LOL

    You are one of the few people who understand the pure joy in doing absolutely nothing.

    I often say strange things, but I feel better about it when I'm around you because you'll just be like, "Yeah, that would be cool if dogs could fly."

    If I had the money, whenever you were sad, I would hire a super funky jazz band to play behind you when you walked. And if that didn't cheer you up, at least you'd look really cool.

    I once had one of my preschool kids tell me "Miss Michelle, you smell reeaallly good. Not like Miss Wendy, she smells like a hospital."

    And when I was a waitress as a young adult I wore a name tag that said Michelle, serving you since 2001. These drunk guys came in and one guy tells me "Your name tag should say...Michelle...serving you since HOT." And, I mean, I assumed it was a drunk compliment.

    I have ombre hair and I'm a teacher to Sunday School children at the church I attend. Anyways, one of the kids told me, "I love your hair, the way it's so many colors! Kind of like a clown!" Well he's FOUR. So I didn't take it harshly, and awkwardly thanked him!

    "You ooze sexy juice" :huh: (that's actually kind of nasty :tongue: )

    "You look so delicious right now, I could lick your face":embarassed: I was completely sober, the commenter however, had 8 too many drinks churning within him.:drinker:

    I tan, but slowly it takes time to build up some color. Once I had a guy tell me at the beginning of summer. "Your legs look like vanilla ice cream." Where does one go with that? I'm assuming it was a compliment as he followed that statement up with a more risque comment.

    From someone who hadn't seen me in a year: "did you have weight loss surgery?" No, I didn't, but it is good to know I no longer look like I need it.

    "You have neat ears"-random guy at a party

    "I used to think you were going to be fat, but you look really good" My older sister when I was 17ish

    same time frame, my Grandmother "You know you're not as fat as you used to be" I was 5'7" and 115lbs
    I was never overweight as a kid, bit I come from a family of super underweight people, so apparently to them(and in my head) I was huge!

    Went into work after having my eyebrows waxed, employee" Yay! You don't look like Burt from Burt and Ernie anymore!" why thank you so much, I never realized I did!

    "I'm so glad you're losing weight, your face is too pretty for you to be that fat."- There are so many things wrong with that sentence I don't even know where to start.

    My favorite compliment I've ever received came from a very strange place. I was dating a guy, living with him and his family and his dad said to me, "You know, you really look like Stevie Nicks, gorgeous." - I think I flushed fifty shades of red, but I was tickled because I absolutely love Stevie Nicks.

    My mom told my 33-year old husband she loved his crow's feet. She then went into great detail about how distinctive that looks on a man LOL

    20 years ago, I was just a kid out of high school working for a photographer. I really have no idea what started this conversation - really - but I know I was lonely and had self esteem issues....I was an awkward person. I was not overweight at the time. I really can't remember what prompted my boss to say "Well, for one thing, you are not hard to look at."

    I guess he intended to cheer me up and make me feel better. LOL.
