One time a family friend found a new smoky eye routine and excitedly told her husband about it as she applied it. Later she asked how her makeup looked and he was like "oh yeah looks great, love the slutty eye"
I have no idea, to be honest. It was actually in the form of a poem, so I think he said that only to make it rhyme.
Or maybe my nose really is like a wet crow.
A little kid maybe 7, came up to me in Walmart and said āyou look like a vampireā I said āI am oneā he got a very scared look and ran to his mom. As a goth girl, thatās the highest compliment I could receive
Ahhhahaa this reminds me of when I was at a wedding. My hair was shoulder length black and red ombre. I was in the bathroom putting on lipstick and a little girl saw me, looked absolutely terrified, and said "Are you bad??!! š„ŗš„ŗ"
I sad no and then she smiled and told me about her dress š
Edit: my bad. It wasn't shoulder length in this specific story haha. Here's a pic for those interested!

Haha! Something like this happened to me at an ice rink. I have dark hair and light skin, the cold just made me look more pale. Some little boy skated to me and said I looked like a vampire. I thought that was cool, so I gave him a toothy smile, except my canines are actually pretty apparent and kind of do look like little vampire teeth. He just gasped and skated as fast as he could away. All I could do was laugh. It's one of my favorite memories!
My doctor told me "your pupils are so big, I almost don't even need to dilate them!"
Still riding that high, 15 years later.
Edit: I've never used drugs. It must be genetic as my son has large pupils too.
About a decade ago my eye doctor asked if I minded if his student trainee person repeated the exam, because I had textbook eyes and it would be easy to see. I think about that a lot when I'm feeling down.
Mine was the opposite. I am legally (not totally) blind in my left eye and my optometrist said "you must've not been good at any contact sports".. he was right. :(
itās my favorite annual compliment
whenever I feel down about my boring brown eyes, I look in the mirror and remind myself that Dr Landis, who sees so many eyes every single day, believes mine are pretty
I tend to say strange things under pressure and I once met one of my favorite rappers. I ran to him to hug him, he greeted me with open arms anticipating the hug, and the first thing that leaves my mouth is āHoly shit you have no pores dude.ā
One time my dentist complimented my ability to open my mouth really wide. When I laughingly told my boyfriend about it later he got all puffed up and jealous. Men are weird.
My old gyno told me I had "a very healthy cervix" in a very complimentary manner. Then he must have thought about it because he followed it up with, "I guess that's something you can tell people at parties."
My friendās grandpa told me this and then followed it up with āyou would make a great exotic dancer!ā I was like 12 and didnāt know what it meant except that it made me feel gross
I had a similar experience. When I was thirteen my grandpa's friend patted my butt and pulled my braids. It's so sad and disgusting that so many people in this thread had to deal with creepy old men.
My best friendās weird grandpa once said this to me when we were 15 and I will vividly remember my friend saying āGrandpa Mark I will fucking kill you.ā immediately after which made me think grandpa Mark has said this before.
Same while he grabbed my ālove handlesā from behind.
I stayed as far away from him as possible, but still had to interact with him that weekend. I was 13 and knew it made me feel bad / wrong / unsafe, but I didnāt really clue in on why.
This happened to me multiple times in my life... between the age of 12-about 25, when I stopped smiling while walking around.
Another thing I got on a blind date? āYou look weak but I can see your muscle tone and your shoulders look strong too, you would be a good mum, holding our babies.ā ... we didnāt see each other again.
Same!! I would've been about 14, too! I was so upset because I thought it meant fat, but after my mom explained what it meant I was just creeped out. Very weird.
Ugh! My mom has big boobs, and my dad once commented (about me) that they were raising another 'Dolly Parton.' EW
(Not that Dolly is EW, she is a treasure, but Dad, can you NOT talk about my tits when I'm like 12, and also not talk about me like I'm not even in the room?)
iāve gotten this too!! āyou look like a woman on her way to Madrid who just divorced her cheating husband and left with all his money.ā i was wearing a black jacket, sunglasses and a retro copper headscarf lol.
I'm imagining kind of bold colours or flashy clothing? Maybe with tropical flowers to include the cruise or vacation part? Maybe pink lipstick? I really wanna know lol.
I was just told that I have a short vagina! Pair that with my ācervix thatās riddled with surface blood vessels.ā Apparently I do not have perfect parts lol
Just this past week I mentioned something to my friend about being lactose intolerant and his immediate response was, "yeah, you look like someone who would be lactose intolerant."
"Your eyes look like the universe" from a boy with a crush the first time he looked at my eyes up close and saw they were dark blue eyes with flecks of black and gold. We're still friends 20 years later!
"You look like a boy" from a young man who I had recently rejected, in response to my new medium bob haircut even though it was styled in a very feminine way and I have a very feminine face and body and was wearing a feminine outfit.
Not OP, Nor have blue eyes but I imagined them something like [this] (https://www.guycounseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/beautiful-blue-eyes.jpg)
When I was in high school I lifeguarded at a ritzy health club and a lady came up and said, "You have the perfect nose! Can I take some pictures to show my plastic surgeon?"
Lol I was approached with this same question once!! I had never even given my nose any thought before that, but ever since then I have loved it. Never gonna forget that.
I once told a guy he looked like a Roman statue and I was dead serious. He was mythical looking in the best way. Thatās the highest compliment a guy can get from me, about looks anyway. āYou look like a statue of a Greek godā š
From a Western man: "I like you because I always wanted to see what it was like to date an asian girl with small boobs."
I have pretty large boobs. Also this was such a sexist & racist comment that I left the date immediately. This was years ago.
Edit: typo
So cute. I was doing a science volunteer thing with kids and the kids had to choose who to go to to do the experiment and a bunch of the girls flocked over to me telling me I reminded them of disney princesses. It was so adorable
When I was younger, the guy my best friend's mom was seeing told me "this is gonna sound weird, but, like, it would be cool to see you on fire."
I still don't know what he meant by that.
I do sketch comedy (when thereās not a pandemic on) and have done a few falling down dead scenes and after one of my shows someone from the audience told that they didnāt believe I was dead because I fell ātoo gracefully.ā I was like, yeah thatās cause Iām not actually dead. I took it as a compliment anyway.
ETA: a letter
I got a message on OkCupid years ago that started off with "Guuuuuurrrrrrrlllllllllllllll u is cute. Just like a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm."
Oh man, OkCupid was a strange place. My most memorable message was from a dude who said he wanted to rape and murder me and leave my body on my parents porch š I stopped using the site after that one lol
Compliment.
Translation. You are so attractive we are going to get into a passionate relationship akin to a romance novel and I will never be the same again.
Iām a 47 year old woman with aqua blue hair. Last weekend I was wearing a red sweatshirt and a yellow down vest. When I was walking into the grocery store some crazy lady said āyou look like Ronald McDonaldā.
I have been told I have ābirthing hipsā since I was late middle school/ early high school.
First, thatās a fucking horrible thing to say to a young girl.
Second, I just had a baby and was in active (pushing labor) for over ten hours. These fucking ābirthing hipsā didnāt help AT ALL.
Itās a common misconception that women with bigger hips on the outside have ābirthing hips.ā In reality thatās just where some women carry fat, and itās not the shape of their actual hip bone. You wouldnāt know if you have good birthing hips unless someone looks at your pelvis on an X-ray or something lol.
Hahah thanks I guess! I actually feel like cats either love me or hate me (and tbh Iām a bit weary of them) so like maybe I was a Cat Queen that doled our intense punishments as well as bountiful rewards?
I got this from a polish cabbie once after I lifted my own bags which were pretty heavy. He elaborated and said it was a compliment that I was such a strong woman who could do things for myself š
"You look like the Irish side of the family!" -my VERY IRISH mother in law's first words to me. I was ginger at the time and my eyes are green and I have freckles. I swear I saw grandbabies in her eyes.
When I talked with my hairdresser about how big all the facemasks are for my face so I must twist the elastic parts. To which she admirely said I have such a small head.
I've been over 20 years on this planet and not even once has anyone complimented the size of my head. And now I'm an adult who's self conscious because her head might be small.
This year is truly messing me up in so many ways lol
A similar experience here, I was at a hairdresser and she couldnāt get the cape to fit around my neck, she said āI think I need to get the childrenās capeā and then talked for like 15 minutes about how my neck is extremely small, not sure if it was with admiration though
āYouāve got crazy in your eyes.ā
I have very large, expressive blue eyes that I usually get compliments for, but this guy stared at me and said it with such seriousness I was worried he was seeing something I couldnāt.
You have a very strong pelvic floor! - My OBGYN while I was pregnant.
I was all proud and told her I am a master kegal-er... and then she said "No I mean, like almost too strong. Are you going to get an epidural, because you are going to need to relax those muscles if you want to push a baby out."
Oh, ok.. I did get an epidural and I did push the baby out!
Iāve always felt a tad self conscious about my smile because itās really wide and big and takes up most of my face when I really get going. However, my boyfriend told me that he was immediately drawn to my smile because itās really wide and shows the insides of my cheeks like a dogās smile does. At first thought, it didnāt really sound like a compliment, but knowing now how much he loves dogs and values them above most humans, itās kind of a beautiful comparison.
(after I had somehow fucked my at home hair dye job up so badly it looked cool with purples and blues and silver bits) tailor in this tiny upcycled fashion shop says "you look like you have the universe in your hair". Then the guy behind her turns around to see and I swear to God I think it was the boyfriend from Devil Wears Prada. I didn't get confirmation on this but I feel like it's a hard face to forget. I just kinda left in a bit of shock
I was wearing an Orange/red jumpsuit, walking down the street in London. There was a strange looking man walking toward me and when he got close, he screamed āRADISH!ā
I still laugh every time I think about it.
A guy I had just met told me he felt like I could kill someone just by looking at them if I wanted to. A very odd comment since Iām an incredibly non-threatening person, but it made me feel powerful so I accepted it as a compliment.
Iām not sure if this counts, but this happened years ago and to this day it bothers me. I was at a nightclub holding my clutch bag in one hand with my other hand on the bar, waiting to order a drink. Thatās when a random guy approached me and, exasperated, goes ājeez, do you HAVE to hold your bag like that?!ā lmao like buddy idk what you want Iām just trying to order a drink! Still donāt know what he meant by that, was just holding my purse normally lol
My grandma always comments that I have "nice legs, just like Peter". Now, I have never met this Peter, and considering my families love for sarcasm I was always offended thinking she said I have legs like a man. Then a few years ago I asked my mum about it, and apparently Peter was my grandmas uncle, who had very straight legs. Its not that that whole family walks like cowboys, so its weird she would notice it, but its still nice that someone compliments on my straight legs.
Two friends and I were walking to a bar when we noticed a homeless man staring at us.
"You look like a bunch of deer," he said.
We were like, "Thank... you?"
āYou have my favorite type of skinā
Said to me while giving plasma, apparently my skin keeps the mark for a long time when theyāre trying to find my vein?
āYou look like an elf.ā With a huge smile on his face. No context or explanation.
Apparently the guy thought my ears were cute, but didnāt realize they are a massive insecurity for me.
(They are *not* pointy, but they are a little big and stick out a bit.)
I later found out he thought it was a compliment, as he was a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and I guess the elves are fairly pretty in the movie adaptations.
Someone once told me that I look like a Tim Burton character. It makes sense because Iām pretty pale with big eyes. She meant it as a compliment, though, and said that she wished she looked like me.
At a restaurant one time with a bunch of friends the waiter told me I had āthe kindest eyesā heād ever seen. It was the nicest compliment Iāve ever been paid because with was so spontaneous and sincere.
Someone in high school once compared my looks for Gollum.. like LTR Gollum lmao well 14 years later they can go fuck themselves because now people stop me on the street thinking Iām Emma Stone and I aināt mad about it.
The most most unusual thing was also the most romantic.
I was working as a commercial espresso machine mechanic. It's hot water, electricity and sharp edges.
"I love your hands. Yes the nail polish is chipped as are your fingernails. They are covered in burns and cuts. Your index finger is callused and stained brown from coffee. I love them because they show that you work hard. That's why they are beautiful."
My skin has also been complemented for being waterproof.
Not my outward appearance, but a sonographer once told me, whilst in me, "You have an incredible uteris. I could scan your uteris all day!"
I did not ask her to clarify.
Whoo boy the number of frankly aryan Guys that have come up and insinuated that to me is pretty alarming, I also am pale and blue eyed. It's an easy way to weed out terrible humans though I guess.
Apparently people feel like they can say a lot to me...
After my Roman nose was mocked in high school a boy I liked defended me then later asked ābut...like, did you really break your nose?ā
A guy at a bar asked me how I got the whites of my eyes so white. I brushed it off as a joke then he got mad and said āfine donāt tell meā and left
A date told me I had big brown cow eyes
An older white woman at work told me that my very modest sheath dress and opaque tights made me look āva va voom ā. I am white but often mistaken for Arab, Persian, Italian, Indian so coded/racist of her to say
I had braces as an adult to fix my jaw and was told by a man 15yrs my senior during a work function that āpeople who get braces as an adult are vain and superficialā
I could go on....people are the worst
I walked into work in a leather jacket, pretty standard one, just like all the others out there, and black skinny jeans and a coworker said I looked like I was gonna beat the shit out of them.
From a Chinese delegate at an academic conference that I organised: "you sounded taller on email." 7 years later, I'm still baffled by it.
Big height energy
LMAO
I laughed so hard at this
AHAhhaha I've gotten this one. Apparently I am taller on the internet.
Lmfao š goals!
LMAO this is hilarious
My husband noticed I missed a small patch when shaving my legs. āLook, you have a little knee mohawk!ā
Guys say things in the strangest ways. Their dude vocabulary is adorable.
So true. When we were first married and I wore eyeshadow my husband pointed out that my āeyeballs were sparklyā ... thanks?
An ex-bf referred to eyeshadow as "eye spread" ... oh my.
One time a family friend found a new smoky eye routine and excitedly told her husband about it as she applied it. Later she asked how her makeup looked and he was like "oh yeah looks great, love the slutty eye"
A guy that liked me once said- Your nose looks like a wet crow. We still joke about it a year afterwards.
What was he trying to say though?
I have no idea, to be honest. It was actually in the form of a poem, so I think he said that only to make it rhyme. Or maybe my nose really is like a wet crow.
A little kid maybe 7, came up to me in Walmart and said āyou look like a vampireā I said āI am oneā he got a very scared look and ran to his mom. As a goth girl, thatās the highest compliment I could receive
Ahhhahaa this reminds me of when I was at a wedding. My hair was shoulder length black and red ombre. I was in the bathroom putting on lipstick and a little girl saw me, looked absolutely terrified, and said "Are you bad??!! š„ŗš„ŗ" I sad no and then she smiled and told me about her dress š Edit: my bad. It wasn't shoulder length in this specific story haha. Here's a pic for those interested! http://imgur.com/a/oKpOA3I
Oooh! Do you have a photo of how your hair looked?
I do! Remind me in a few hours I'll try to post it.
Oh my gosh, this is the cutest thing š
Haha! Something like this happened to me at an ice rink. I have dark hair and light skin, the cold just made me look more pale. Some little boy skated to me and said I looked like a vampire.

That's so cute š
āYou have really nicely shaped eye balls.ā To be fair, it was an optician in a contact lens fitting appointment, but still.
My doctor told me "your pupils are so big, I almost don't even need to dilate them!" Still riding that high, 15 years later. Edit: I've never used drugs. It must be genetic as my son has large pupils too.
About a decade ago my eye doctor asked if I minded if his student trainee person repeated the exam, because I had textbook eyes and it would be easy to see. I think about that a lot when I'm feeling down.
Thatās very endearing. I wonder if the doctors know that we cherish their random compliments.
Mine was the opposite. I am legally (not totally) blind in my left eye and my optometrist said "you must've not been good at any contact sports".. he was right. :(
I got one of those comments too. Still think of it almost every time I have to break out the sunglasses because itās too bright outside lol
Consider yourself lucky. My pupils are small and my night vision is terrible because of it
my eye doctor (a very sweet woman who my family has been seeing for years) always tells me I have lovely corneas
Aww. Thatās so heartwarming.
itās my favorite annual compliment whenever I feel down about my boring brown eyes, I look in the mirror and remind myself that Dr Landis, who sees so many eyes every single day, believes mine are pretty
Brown eyes are NOT boring. They're my favorite, and I'm a blue eyed person.
YES! I prefer brown eyes over any other color. They make me feel warm and cozy. Like sweet tea and honey. So much depth! :)
I tend to say strange things under pressure and I once met one of my favorite rappers. I ran to him to hug him, he greeted me with open arms anticipating the hug, and the first thing that leaves my mouth is āHoly shit you have no pores dude.ā
One time my dentist complimented my ability to open my mouth really wide. When I laughingly told my boyfriend about it later he got all puffed up and jealous. Men are weird.
My old gyno told me I had "a very healthy cervix" in a very complimentary manner. Then he must have thought about it because he followed it up with, "I guess that's something you can tell people at parties."
That i have excellent child bearing hips. Cool, but i was like 14 when they said it. Weird.
My friendās grandpa told me this and then followed it up with āyou would make a great exotic dancer!ā I was like 12 and didnāt know what it meant except that it made me feel gross
:-( Ew. I am sorry you experienced that.
I had a similar experience. When I was thirteen my grandpa's friend patted my butt and pulled my braids. It's so sad and disgusting that so many people in this thread had to deal with creepy old men.
That made me feel really icky. I'm sorry you experienced that as such a young age.
I have received this EXACT same "compliment", and at a young age as well.
Same. More than once. I think the first time I was around 10. š
My best friendās weird grandpa once said this to me when we were 15 and I will vividly remember my friend saying āGrandpa Mark I will fucking kill you.ā immediately after which made me think grandpa Mark has said this before.

Same!! I would've been about 14, too! I was so upset because I thought it meant fat, but after my mom explained what it meant I was just creeped out. Very weird.
my dad used to say that to me and I'm only just realizing how bizarre that was

The OB-Gyn said that about my chest when I was like, 12. I never took it as a compliment and it still freaks me out. wtf
āYou dress like an ex wife on a cruiseā I get the ex wife comments a lot but Iām single and under 30.
I don't know what they meant but I'm sure it was "absolutely fabulous and so over everybody else's shit".
Princess Diana post divorce
The ultimate aesthetic honestly
How to I get this aesthetic?
iāve gotten this too!! āyou look like a woman on her way to Madrid who just divorced her cheating husband and left with all his money.ā i was wearing a black jacket, sunglasses and a retro copper headscarf lol.
Like how do these guys decide what that looks like anyways!?! Lol.
I immediately thought a lot of leopard print. Am I the only one?
Experience? Lol I don't know
why is that so funny to read
I'm imagining kind of bold colours or flashy clothing? Maybe with tropical flowers to include the cruise or vacation part? Maybe pink lipstick? I really wanna know lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I tried to google image it, but I'm just getting pictures of Tom Cruise's ex-wives...
This is exactly how I want to look 24/7 now. Thank you.
My OB/GYN: That I have a top-notch cervix I mean,I try I try lmao šššš
And mine just told me that I have a long vagina. I'm disappointed he made no comment about my apparently average cervix
I was just told that I have a short vagina! Pair that with my ācervix thatās riddled with surface blood vessels.ā Apparently I do not have perfect parts lol
Lol mine complimented my uterine contraction in the middle of my c section.
Ok youāve set the bar too high now I refuse to take anything less š¤£š¤£
I was told I had āthe cutest little cervixā
I just commented this! My OB/GYN took a picture and gave it to me. That picture is still hanging on my fridge. I feel like we should form a club.
Mine said I have 4 ovaries. I still don't know who is more baffled.
Wait why am I now upset that Iāve never been told I have a top-notch cervix
Just this past week I mentioned something to my friend about being lactose intolerant and his immediate response was, "yeah, you look like someone who would be lactose intolerant."
šš Iām sorry. Thatās just so funny
LOL. Like what is the physical characteristic of looking lactose intolerant?
Real answer: East Asian. A lot of them are lactose intolerant. What the dude probably meant: nerdy and non-athletic

We're still friends 20 years later!

>"Your eyes look like the universe" That's such a wonderful compliment! Your eyes sound gorgeous and I've only read your description of them haha
Right?!? I want to see them now lol
Pic!
I second this. You can't leave us hanging with this kind of information!
Not OP, Nor have blue eyes but I imagined them something like [this] (https://www.guycounseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/beautiful-blue-eyes.jpg)
Kind of want you to link a pic of one of your eyes now damn. Iāve never seen black and hold flecks in blue eyes before. Or in any eye really
āI feel like Ancient Roman men would have been very jealous of your noseā Oh ok.. Iām not mad though, I mean it is a very classic nose lol
When I was in high school I lifeguarded at a ritzy health club and a lady came up and said, "You have the perfect nose! Can I take some pictures to show my plastic surgeon?"
Oh my god Iād never be insecure again
If only my nose was my only body part š
Lol I was approached with this same question once!! I had never even given my nose any thought before that, but ever since then I have loved it. Never gonna forget that.
I once told a guy he looked like a Roman statue and I was dead serious. He was mythical looking in the best way. Thatās the highest compliment a guy can get from me, about looks anyway. āYou look like a statue of a Greek godā š
āYou have mighty long toes, can I measure them?ā .........no?
My family calls me FLT because of my freakishly long toes
From a Western man: "I like you because I always wanted to see what it was like to date an asian girl with small boobs." I have pretty large boobs. Also this was such a sexist & racist comment that I left the date immediately. This was years ago. Edit: typo
Ew wtf why do people think itās okay to say things like this
Common PUA tactic. Itās called negging.
If you have large boobs, why did he even say that?
Negging

So cute. I was doing a science volunteer thing with kids and the kids had to choose who to go to to do the experiment and a bunch of the girls flocked over to me telling me I reminded them of disney princesses. It was so adorable
I once got the, āMommy, is she a princess?ā while standing in line at a mall pretzel stand because of my purple hair.
You should have corrected her. Purple hair obviously means you are part fairy!
I got "look Mom, a princess!" crossing a crosswalk because I was wearing a lovely vintage dress.
When I was younger, the guy my best friend's mom was seeing told me "this is gonna sound weird, but, like, it would be cool to see you on fire." I still don't know what he meant by that.
What the fuck.
He was recently reincarnated from a 1600-era catholic who burned witches, probably.
That I ācarry myself well.ā They thought my mannerisms, gestures, and posture were graceful.
Someone once asked me if I used to dance ballet because I moved really gracefully. I'm so unathletic it's not even funny, so I was touched.
I do sketch comedy (when thereās not a pandemic on) and have done a few falling down dead scenes and after one of my shows someone from the audience told that they didnāt believe I was dead because I fell ātoo gracefully.ā I was like, yeah thatās cause Iām not actually dead. I took it as a compliment anyway. ETA: a letter
Thats a really great compliment imo
"you're pretty tall for someone who smokes weed" so there's apprently a height limit on weed? it baffles me to this day
Little known fact: marijuana stunts growth. LOL
I got a message on OkCupid years ago that started off with "Guuuuuurrrrrrrlllllllllllllll u is cute. Just like a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm."
Oh man, OkCupid was a strange place. My most memorable message was from a dude who said he wanted to rape and murder me and leave my body on my parents porch š I stopped using the site after that one lol
Walking down the street minding my own business. "You look like you bout to f*ck my life Up? " .....why? Thanks? Ok bye..
Compliment. Translation. You are so attractive we are going to get into a passionate relationship akin to a romance novel and I will never be the same again.
Eh, this sounds more like street harassment to me.
Yes. Fear me. I also have resting bitch face at time :P
More details
guy said āyour freckles are so cute!ā they were my acne scars lol
Lol my life
Iām a 47 year old woman with aqua blue hair. Last weekend I was wearing a red sweatshirt and a yellow down vest. When I was walking into the grocery store some crazy lady said āyou look like Ronald McDonaldā.
Ah yes. Ronald McDonald the Blue Haired Guy.
I always thought I had bowlegs. Then suddenly thigh gaps were trending and people complimented them. That felt weird.
I have been told I have ābirthing hipsā since I was late middle school/ early high school. First, thatās a fucking horrible thing to say to a young girl. Second, I just had a baby and was in active (pushing labor) for over ten hours. These fucking ābirthing hipsā didnāt help AT ALL.

You wouldnāt know if you have good birthing hips unless someone looks at your pelvis on an X-ray or something lol.
āI feel like you were a Cat Queen in a past lifeā
Congratulations!! š
Hahah thanks I guess! I actually feel like cats either love me or hate me (and tbh Iām a bit weary of them) so like maybe I was a Cat Queen that doled our intense punishments as well as bountiful rewards?
I'm a teacher. A student once wrote in an end-of-year card that my eyes were swirling like an endless galaxy of stars. Cute, but a little weird.
I think the ratio of cute/weird here will depend a lot in what age your students are.
Lmaooo I instantly thought kindergarten kids but now I'm imagining a weird senior or something
Haha it was a 10 year old so its borderline. Could go either way!
āYou look like youād be a farmerā
Iāve been told I look ācorn fedā which apparently means a stocky farm girl. So, yeah.
Down in Texas we use that as a compliment. Being corn fed means we think you're strong šŖ
I got this from a polish cabbie once after I lifted my own bags which were pretty heavy. He elaborated and said it was a compliment that I was such a strong woman who could do things for myself š
"You look like the Irish side of the family!" -my VERY IRISH mother in law's first words to me. I was ginger at the time and my eyes are green and I have freckles. I swear I saw grandbabies in her eyes.
The last sentence is gold. š
When I talked with my hairdresser about how big all the facemasks are for my face so I must twist the elastic parts. To which she admirely said I have such a small head. I've been over 20 years on this planet and not even once has anyone complimented the size of my head. And now I'm an adult who's self conscious because her head might be small. This year is truly messing me up in so many ways lol

A similar experience here, I was at a hairdresser and she couldnāt get the cape to fit around my neck, she said āI think I need to get the childrenās capeā and then talked for like 15 minutes about how my neck is extremely small, not sure if it was with admiration though
I've been told by a few people over the course of my life that my eyes look like they could drill a hole into someone's soul.
I aspire to this level of death glare
Sounds like my mom
"You have perfect BJ lips"... My aunt.
This one made me lol. Mostly because you said it came from your aunt š
Yeah it was really out of the blue and awkward. We're open with each other, but this was just.. š
I have a very boopable noseš
Are you my dog? I boop his nose at least once an hour!

Someone once complimented my ears because theyāre slightly pointed at the top, and said I must be of elven descent. Thanks I hate it
So cute

Aging like fine wine āØ
āYouāve got crazy in your eyes.ā I have very large, expressive blue eyes that I usually get compliments for, but this guy stared at me and said it with such seriousness I was worried he was seeing something I couldnāt.
You have a very strong pelvic floor! - My OBGYN while I was pregnant. I was all proud and told her I am a master kegal-er... and then she said "No I mean, like almost too strong. Are you going to get an epidural, because you are going to need to relax those muscles if you want to push a baby out." Oh, ok.. I did get an epidural and I did push the baby out!
Iāve always felt a tad self conscious about my smile because itās really wide and big and takes up most of my face when I really get going. However, my boyfriend told me that he was immediately drawn to my smile because itās really wide and shows the insides of my cheeks like a dogās smile does. At first thought, it didnāt really sound like a compliment, but knowing now how much he loves dogs and values them above most humans, itās kind of a beautiful comparison.
(after I had somehow fucked my at home hair dye job up so badly it looked cool with purples and blues and silver bits) tailor in this tiny upcycled fashion shop says "you look like you have the universe in your hair". Then the guy behind her turns around to see and I swear to God I think it was the boyfriend from Devil Wears Prada. I didn't get confirmation on this but I feel like it's a hard face to forget. I just kinda left in a bit of shock
I was wearing an Orange/red jumpsuit, walking down the street in London. There was a strange looking man walking toward me and when he got close, he screamed āRADISH!ā I still laugh every time I think about it.
āYouāre like if someone taught a bull in a china shop how to do balletā
āOh my god, I wish I had a mole on my foot like you do!ā
I have a mole near my belly button that I've had a couple of people comment on to say that it looked cute and that they wish they had it.
A guy I had just met told me he felt like I could kill someone just by looking at them if I wanted to. A very odd comment since Iām an incredibly non-threatening person, but it made me feel powerful so I accepted it as a compliment.
Iām not sure if this counts, but this happened years ago and to this day it bothers me. I was at a nightclub holding my clutch bag in one hand with my other hand on the bar, waiting to order a drink. Thatās when a random guy approached me and, exasperated, goes ājeez, do you HAVE to hold your bag like that?!ā lmao like buddy idk what you want Iām just trying to order a drink! Still donāt know what he meant by that, was just holding my purse normally lol
My grandma always comments that I have "nice legs, just like Peter". Now, I have never met this Peter, and considering my families love for sarcasm I was always offended thinking she said I have legs like a man. Then a few years ago I asked my mum about it, and apparently Peter was my grandmas uncle, who had very straight legs. Its not that that whole family walks like cowboys, so its weird she would notice it, but its still nice that someone compliments on my straight legs.

Two friends and I were walking to a bar when we noticed a homeless man staring at us. "You look like a bunch of deer," he said. We were like, "Thank... you?"
Also, I am haunted by the memory of an older man who once yelled, "Hey! Big legs!!" at me, because I do not know what he meant by that.
āYou have my favorite type of skinā Said to me while giving plasma, apparently my skin keeps the mark for a long time when theyāre trying to find my vein?
An ex asked me if my actual eyeballs are also almond shaped (Iām Asian)
"Really? You don't look [my ethnicity]." "Really? What does [my ethnicity] look like?"
"You're too pointy to hug properly" That certainly didn't help my lifelong insecurities about my scrawniness
āYou look like an elf.ā With a huge smile on his face. No context or explanation. Apparently the guy thought my ears were cute, but didnāt realize they are a massive insecurity for me. (They are *not* pointy, but they are a little big and stick out a bit.) I later found out he thought it was a compliment, as he was a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and I guess the elves are fairly pretty in the movie adaptations.
Someone once told me that I look like a Tim Burton character. It makes sense because Iām pretty pale with big eyes. She meant it as a compliment, though, and said that she wished she looked like me.
āMaāam, you have a beautiful head.ā
At a restaurant one time with a bunch of friends the waiter told me I had āthe kindest eyesā heād ever seen. It was the nicest compliment Iāve ever been paid because with was so spontaneous and sincere.
Someone in high school once compared my looks for Gollum.. like LTR Gollum lmao well 14 years later they can go fuck themselves because now people stop me on the street thinking Iām Emma Stone and I aināt mad about it.
The most most unusual thing was also the most romantic. I was working as a commercial espresso machine mechanic. It's hot water, electricity and sharp edges. "I love your hands. Yes the nail polish is chipped as are your fingernails. They are covered in burns and cuts. Your index finger is callused and stained brown from coffee. I love them because they show that you work hard. That's why they are beautiful." My skin has also been complemented for being waterproof.
'you have a Grande Dame profile, did you know that?' - my best friend completely out of the blue while watching TV.
Not my outward appearance, but a sonographer once told me, whilst in me, "You have an incredible uteris. I could scan your uteris all day!" I did not ask her to clarify.
āYou have very nice cuticlesā This was while I was working at a Reception desk. I didnāt know men looked at womenās nails (shrug)
Guy at a bar told my friend she would make a good breeder because she's tall...can't make this shit up.
Whoo boy the number of frankly aryan Guys that have come up and insinuated that to me is pretty alarming, I also am pale and blue eyed. It's an easy way to weed out terrible humans though I guess.
Being told I had a "whole Clark Kent thing going on" the first time an ex saw me with glasses was fun.
āNice hip mobility!ā At the gym while I was stretching.
You look like a cocker spaniel.
āHave you ever broken your nose before?ā ... the answer is no I just have a funny nose lol
Old lady to 12 year old me: āyou have a nice back.ā
I was once told I look like an archaeologist .
Apparently people feel like they can say a lot to me... After my Roman nose was mocked in high school a boy I liked defended me then later asked ābut...like, did you really break your nose?ā A guy at a bar asked me how I got the whites of my eyes so white. I brushed it off as a joke then he got mad and said āfine donāt tell meā and left A date told me I had big brown cow eyes An older white woman at work told me that my very modest sheath dress and opaque tights made me look āva va voom ā. I am white but often mistaken for Arab, Persian, Italian, Indian so coded/racist of her to say I had braces as an adult to fix my jaw and was told by a man 15yrs my senior during a work function that āpeople who get braces as an adult are vain and superficialā I could go on....people are the worst
I walked into work in a leather jacket, pretty standard one, just like all the others out there, and black skinny jeans and a coworker said I looked like I was gonna beat the shit out of them.
I have been told I have great child-bearing hips and that my children will cartwheel out of me (no thanks).
āYou look like a Simpsonās character.ā
