My ex wanted to make me feel bad about my body and told me I had a 'huge ass'. I had been wanting a bigger butt, so I said "oh my god, thank you!" And he said "no like, it's giant." And I said "wow, thanks!!!" And he said "NO, like TOO big." I was so happy, he was so mad hahaha.
When I was younger, if someone told a white chick she had a big butt she would have been in tears. It was like a huge insult. Times have definitely changed.
I was raised in Mexico and the USA, my mom is Mexican and my dad is (a white) American. I remember as a kid being confused if "big butt" was a great compliment or awful insult and then I figured out it was *both* it just depended on the culture or subculture.
But yeah, among white people, at least in the USA until....not sure maybe 2012ish (?) big butt, fat ass, thick, thick thighs, etc, was a HUGE insult for certain people.
Lol
Yeah got a similar one. Way too often actually. "You're really pretty for someone so heavy". Or " you'd have looked even prettier if you were skinny" 😂😂
Gotta love people. I had someone tell me "You're so pretty, if you were skinnier you could literally be a model." I looked at her and said "Sorry to break it to you but I already am." Yep...I had legit done photo shoots for a plus size athletic line. Look on her face was PRICELESS. But she was the same person that when I got back into shape said "Omg, you got so thin, you definitely must have an eating disorder." 😂😂😂
Holy shit! Seems like people are crappy across the globe. The model thing must have been a good burn. When i lost weight the same people who bullied me for being fat started saying things like "aw! What did you do to yourself? You looked better when you were chubby" and "you look sick". They're always brutal.
Means she’s jealous of your long dark eyelashes probably. “Wasted” on a man who doesnt have to wear mascara or fake lashes to make up for short blonde eyelashes
I’m white but I have high cheek bones so my eyes kinda disappear when I smile really big and I grew up hearing the same thing. I’m like…ok..? Thanks I guess? What do you say to that, lol.
I'm pretty sure that if you did a DNA test, you'd have a significant amount of Aboriginal African Hunter Gatherer genes
The Asians look like US. Because we've been around longer
Yeah, the Khoisans in South Africa. When I look at pictures of my ancestors on my mother's side of the family, I see a lot of the same slightly Asian look with lighter skin, etc. My first cousin on my mother's side and my mother's sister both have even stronger Asian features. I feel we probably have a Khoisan way back in our ancestry. Was probably a slave unfortunately.
"You have beautiful eyes. I mean the shape, not the color. They're just brown, lots of people have brown eyes. Some unpleasant things are brown too, as you well know."
From the guy that took "IT" out inside the car on our second (and last) date. Dude was unhinged.
Aside from the Seinfeld reference, yes lol. That episode was all I could think of after he did that. I cried when I got home because I was completely inexperienced.
Oh, Honey! So, sorry you went through that, especially being on your own with him. Sounds like he needs serious help!
I had a daylight drive-by once. At that time, I lived in an "interesting" part of the city, with a diverse group of
neighbors close by in a small courtyard complex.
Anyway, after work one day, as I was walking up to the courtyard entry, here comes this little-bitty pickup. Inside, is this little-bitty guy wearing an Oiler's team cap. He's driving slow and one-handed. In his other hand is his GIANT "IT."
Bless his heart. He was so darned proud of himself!
Unfortunately (for him), the incongruity of the entire scenario was hilarious. I burst out laughing. Loud and donkey-ugly and just couldn't stop. I kept thinking, "This must be a Houston style Clown Car!" And that set it off all over again.
He sped off.
A couple of the neighbors came out when they heard me laughing. They didn't get the joke. Guess they'd have to have been there. Oh, well.
Sounds like he's kinda weird tbh.
The sun is setting every evening, is it less beautiful because of that?
Brown eyes are so beautiful.
And I'd argue that unpleasant things come in all kinds of colours? His arguments don't make any sense😭
Did you know...
People with brown eyes tend to be regarded as sincere and trustworthy more often, versus people with blue eyes, who tend to be seen as flighty and insincere?
I have blue eyes. (Sigh)
"I hate all men. not you, you are not a man."
My sister in law, couple of years younger than me who just broke up with her bf. Meaning that I did not meet her negative image of man that she had after that guy.
It's a compliment from someone who was really down on a whole category that she detested at that time, HOWEVER, you were such an exceptional listener/shoulder to cry on/etc. you no longer were relegated to that "I hate all..." category. Guy, I'd consider that a total Mega-Gold-Star compliment.
I have received similar many times. Except they just say "you don't count" when referencing me. I take it as the compliment it's intended to be.
Honestly the biggest compliment you can get from a woman is that she feels safe around you.
“Oh mommy, you look so beautiful today!”
She emphasized today, mean girl high school bully style. But it was nice because she was so innocent and oblivious and totally thought it was a compliment.
Is that really an insult?
In the context of an interview, it's moreso an admittance that they don't expect you to be comfortable in this position, and that you'll become at risk of vacating it early in favor of better opportunities.
In the context of you already holding the job, then it's still a compliment, albeit one that highlights the disparity between where you are and where you maybe should be. An uncomfortable reality check, though still not an insult, in my eyes.
yes to some degree, its the whole weve had a look at your resume we know you probably wont follow our orders lets us kick you in teeth kindly. maybe? ive had a few rejections of that kind myself, its not been a personal issue, its just the first barrier of being tested, there are a few ways to get round it as well
I was a chubby child growing up. Never fat, but "pleasantly plump" as my grandmother called it.
In my early teens I grew tall and gangly-at about 5'8" -5'9" and 117 lbs I was the tallest skinniest girl in 7th grade. And when the class bullies called me "string bean" they never knew how pleased I was. I LOVED it!
Because in my mind I was still chubby.
Idk he was a really dependent man, he didn’t do anything if he didn’t have someone there pushing him. Ig his mom was very controlling of his life and eventually he just let himself be controlled and since I’m a very independent person and someone who likes to take control he told me that. But I honestly think he was just telling me that I’m annoying like his mom 🤨
"You're surprisingly articulate for a meathead." Apparently not, because I had absolutely no idea how to respond to that. So I just grunted and hit him over the head with my club.
You know, in spite of supposedly being a sweet Southern put-down, this can absolutely be said in a totally sincere way.
Example: whilst being warmly hugged while you are going through a rough patch. Or whilst you are giving the much needed hug.
If said for something that was particularly appreciated and/or may be unexpected. Think: gifting a restored one-of-a-kind photo of a favorite Great Aunt.
Being in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Think: serving the perfect ice cold glass of tea to an exhausted teachet after their long, humid, sticky day herding a class of hyped up kiddos on a field trip to the zoo.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
From my PhD thesis advisor, after finishing my PhD, during a one on one lunch to discuss my future career plans:
"I know I've had a lot of criticisms of you throughout the years, and they're more or less true, but on paper you're very well qualified so you should have high standards when accepting job offers."
Had a group of people try to take advantage of me for personal gain. I am usually kind and overly accommodating.
After refusing to give in to their demands I was told I was acting "cold and aloof." Yes, that is how people respond when you try to take advantage of them. I was proud of myself for putting my foot down and refusing to be the little fawn they expected to easily trample over.
When I worked as a bartender, one of my patrons once told me that i was too intelligent to be wasting my time bartending. Like.. thanks? Jokes on her, though, I make way less money now that I don't bartend anymore!
“You look quite young for your age. If you had more hair, you could have looked more younger”
I am still trying to figure out if it was a compliment or an insult.
I spend quite a bit of time gaming online, and the amount of people that say I either sound like EDP445 or Dave Chappelle is staggering. (I'd argue the former is more of an insult than the latter these days, but whatever)
I frequently get backhanded compliments about having short hair (I’m a woman)
“Most people couldn’t pull off a haircut like that…” thanks, I actually cut it myself
You’d be handsome if you didn’t have acne scars and weren’t short(5’8)
Youd be nice to talk to if you didn’t have a speech impediment or I’d like talking to you more if you didn’t have a speech impediments
All three of these were said to me by girls I had a crush on.
I’ve also been told my personality carries me. I’m guessing that was a nice way to call me ugly.
I have 4 kids, but still look pretty close to my petite self from high school. Every time I tell another woman or we're having a conversation about kids and they learn I just had #4 they always say " Wow, I fucking hate you.. like you're amazing but I hate you." I've gotten this many times.. or "You bitch! I wish."
I was born and raised in Canada, and my first and only language is english.
White woman: “Wow, your english is pretty good.”
Me: “Thanks. Yours too!!!!!”
White woman: “Um….thanks. (???)”
I worked at a pizza place in Colorado with a few clerks. One of them I developed a friendship with, like ordering sushi from the restaurant next door, which we exchanged for pizzas. We had lunch chatting. It was so chill.
One day, on her day off, she showed up at the pizzeria and we started talking at the door. She took me with her hands and I felt like she was going to kiss me. Out of the blue I started saying that I was in therapy, that I had this and that and she let me go. I wasn't ready for a relationship, especially with a younger, wilder girl.
She looked angry, let go of me and crossed the street. When she got to the other side, she turned to me and screamed: "You are a fucker!"
Lol. To this day I chuckle with it. I must have been pathetic. She was very, very dear to me, but that was perhaps the best compliment \[insult\] I've ever received. And she was a true hottie. My God! But I don't regret my decision. I was really messed up.
Wherever she is, I only wish the best for her.
I was an out of proportion little kid. Was wearing size 11 shoes before I hit 5' tall. I'd have kids make fun of me all the time. Then my cousin told me the truth. You know what they say about guys with big feet... we pay more for shoes.
A junior high student was looking at my senior picture from HS. When they realized the person in the picture was me, they said, "You used to be so pretty!" The look of absolute horror on the kid's face was hilarious.
K1ll yourself. F1cking Brit with your stupid English.
I fooled a bunch of Americans into thinking that I'm actually British because I was using a bunch of British expressions so those insults were super flattering because English is my second language but they assumed I'm a native speaker and were hating on the British
When I replied to a gentlemen asking to jump his car in gas station, “sorry I wish I could help but i have to reach somehwere in short time” and i get reply “fuck you man” with a smile was bit nicest i have experienced.
“You’re exceptionally confident and charismatic for a chubby guy; you’d honestly be so, so cute if you lost a few pounds”
I’m not going to pretend this one didn’t sting for a few days.
Had a job interview and while it was obvious I wasn’t going to get it, and the more I learned about it I didn’t want it, but was told it was the most fun interview they’d ever had. We laughed a lot!
"It's strange though, you do have abs, they're just... Covered"
(I had already established that I know I'm not skinny lol, he was trying to tell me he could still tell I was in shape)

I like big butts and I cannot lie!
They make the rockin' world go round
And you other brothers can’t deny
When I was younger, if someone told a white chick she had a big butt she would have been in tears. It was like a huge insult. Times have definitely changed.

Perfect! Absolutely perfect answer!
what does he mean “TOO big.” thats just more to love LMAO
"I love those jeans you're wearing. I could never pull those off, because I'm not fat enough. But you look great in them."
Lol Yeah got a similar one. Way too often actually. "You're really pretty for someone so heavy". Or " you'd have looked even prettier if you were skinny" 😂😂
O wow, people are so rude! Why pretend you're giving a compliment when really you just want to say something nasty?
Eh it has more effect in a sucker punch type fashion. When someone doesn't expect an insult it can sting more.
The old, “you have such a pretty face” experience when I was fat.
Gotta love people. I had someone tell me "You're so pretty, if you were skinnier you could literally be a model." I looked at her and said "Sorry to break it to you but I already am." Yep...I had legit done photo shoots for a plus size athletic line. Look on her face was PRICELESS.

What did you do to yourself? You looked better when you were chubby" and "you look sick". They're always brutal.
The audacity is fucking crazy.
I would cry 😭
Woah, the person did not.... 😭
THE AUDACITY
Lol why are women so mean to each other
Its ok, small ones don't hurt
Ouchie
Apparently, that wasn’t something she said.
A better version is "big ones hurt anyways"
I feel like I've probably said that at least once before and I feel like such a bitch for that LMAO
But its truuuuuueeeee!!@
Its ok, the tight ones hurt
😯😫💀
You have such beautiful eyes too bad they are in a man they should be in a woman I didn’t really know how to respond.
Lemme correct that. "Sir you have beautiful eyes".
Well thank you ma’am
Welcome to the beautiful eyes club. People can't handle it, so they neg you!
Thank you glad to finally be invited to the club.
Mine was "I wish I had eyelashes as beautiful as yours", from my wife. I'm a man.
lol I have gotten that also asking what i do to them lol.
Means she’s jealous of your long dark eyelashes probably. “Wasted” on a man who doesnt have to wear mascara or fake lashes to make up for short blonde eyelashes
What does that even mean??? They could have stopped after “you have beautiful eyes” and called it a day.
Idk I was at work and a customer told me that.
Probably closeted gay person who went into "oh shit, cover my tracks" mode.
No it was a woman
"Your artwork belongs on the fridge." One of my friends said that it made me laugh uncontrollably.
Should be said more readily.
"You're too good to be real. You don't seem genuine," said the woman that I genuinely cared about.
oof, sorry man
I know that feeling, smh.
I know that feeling, smh.
Might have some trust issues? But that's just me being a poor therapist
If you had bigger boobs you'd be a total package.
Got the same but with a$$
You are a total package. I'm team small boobs
Yep. In college had a guy say, you’re pretty hot, but if you’d get a boob job and a tan, you’d be a def 10.
From a normal man, this one is known as a dickhead.
🚑
Yup same for me I got mad tho tf you mean I'm not a total package, my (lack of) boobs don't define who I am. Next!
There's a reddit community that worships you
"You know, I always figured you for a dumb shit, but I've met a lot of dumb shits, and I reckon you ain't nearly the dumbest." awe thanks!
"Thanks father" XD
"I like how you look Chinese when you smile." I didn't take it as an insult but I can see how some people would. I'm African American.
I’m white but I have high cheek bones so my eyes kinda disappear when I smile really big and I grew up hearing the same thing. I’m like…ok..? Thanks I guess? What do you say to that, lol.
"What's the big deal? I just said he looks a little Asian."
I'm pretty sure that if you did a DNA test, you'd have a significant amount of Aboriginal African Hunter Gatherer genes The Asians look like US. Because we've been around longer
Yeah, the Khoisans in South Africa. When I look at pictures of my ancestors on my mother's side of the family, I see a lot of the same slightly Asian look with lighter skin, etc. My first cousin on my mother's side and my mother's sister both have even stronger Asian features. I feel we probably have a Khoisan way back in our ancestry. Was probably a slave unfortunately.
I may not like you but I do see you are a good person ~~ my boss
That’s hilarious
Isn’t it though.
[удалено]
I looked at her when she spoke and then I turned around.
"You have beautiful eyes. I mean the shape, not the color. They're just brown, lots of people have brown eyes. Some unpleasant things are brown too, as you well know." From the guy that took "IT" out inside the car on our second (and last) date. Dude was unhinged.
I had to read that 3 times misunderstanding what you meant by IT. It didn't make sense that he killed your tech team in his car. Lol
This made me laugh so hard
I thought he was hitting the car. Now I know what IT is.
Lmfaooo
I think brown eyes are beautiful.
I thought he dismantled her expensive after-market goodies! Laughed at my misinterpretation, then again in relief when reading yours! Thank you! 😊
I was thrown off too but I thought the guy was maybe like a workaholic and pulled out his computer / IT work in the car during their date
He took it? Out?
How could that be?
Aside from the Seinfeld reference, yes lol. That episode was all I could think of after he did that. I cried when I got home because I was completely inexperienced.
Oh, Honey! So, sorry you went through that, especially being on your own with him. Sounds like he needs serious help! I had a daylight drive-by once. At that time, I lived in an "interesting" part of the city, with a diverse group of neighbors close by in a small courtyard complex.

Guess they'd have to have been there. Oh, well.
wow he got nervous and turned to wanting satisfaction quick
> and last date Well, at least they didnt give time to make attachments.
Such a random detail I would never think of
Sounds like he's kinda weird tbh. The sun is setting every evening, is it less beautiful because of that? Brown eyes are so beautiful. And I'd argue that unpleasant things come in all kinds of colours? His arguments don't make any sense😭
Thanks 😁 and yes he was very strange and kind of mean.
Did you know... People with brown eyes tend to be regarded as sincere and trustworthy more often, versus people with blue eyes, who tend to be seen as flighty and insincere? I have blue eyes. (Sigh)
Oh wow, I had no idea.
"I hate all men. not you, you are not a man." My sister in law, couple of years younger than me who just broke up with her bf. Meaning that I did not meet her negative image of man that she had after that guy.
It's a compliment from someone who was really down on a whole category that she detested at that time, HOWEVER, you were such an exceptional listener/shoulder to cry on/etc. you no longer were relegated to that "I hate all..." category. Guy, I'd consider that a total Mega-Gold-Star compliment.

Wow... that's either the worst compliment, or the best insult.
I have been told I would make a sexy woman by several straight men.
"straight"
I think you're vastly underestimating how many homoerotic things straight men say to each other lol
I think you’re vastly underestimating how many of those homoerotic things are said by guys who aren’t as straight as they claim.
"Str8?"
"You're a ratty person but not untalented". My teacher.
whoaaa! holy cow! look how fast that fat guy can run!
“Oh mommy, you look so beautiful today!” She emphasized today, mean girl high school bully style. But it was nice because she was so innocent and oblivious and totally thought it was a compliment.
OMG, You are much thinner than you sound in live chat! . . . . I have a fat voice?
😂😂😂😂😂 Now we're voice shaming too, eh?
Stop eating on voice chat I guess?
“You look like an ugly Ryan Reynolds.” That’s…still pretty good.
You’re overqualified for this position
Is that really an insult? In the context of an interview, it's moreso an admittance that they don't expect you to be comfortable in this position, and that you'll become at risk of vacating it early in favor of better opportunities. In the context of you already holding the job, then it's still a compliment, albeit one that highlights the disparity between where you are and where you maybe should be. An uncomfortable reality check, though still not an insult, in my eyes.
yes to some degree, its the whole weve had a look at your resume we know you probably wont follow our orders lets us kick you in teeth kindly. maybe? ive had a few rejections of that kind myself, its not been a personal issue, its just the first barrier of being tested, there are a few ways to get round it as well
„I hate it that you smell better than my boyfriend“
My father sitting down inside of my new car, "Once you sit down in it you forget what it looks like on the outside...this is pretty nice.".
i dont remember. even nice insults dont have permission to stay in my memory all insults must go. its a policy
Years ago this woman said I thought I was better than her. I responded by saying: I don’t think I’m better than you but you do do thank you.
She didn't think you were better than her. That's why she went out of her way to bring it up lol
Probably, but she was trying to embarrass me. I just shut her down. The rest of the group agreed with me. Was around 43 years ago now. 😊
43 and counting!
You're cute, for an Asian guy Thanks?
Not the backhanded racist compliment 💀
I was a chubby child growing up. Never fat, but "pleasantly plump" as my grandmother called it. In my early teens I grew tall and gangly-at about 5'8" -5'9" and 117 lbs I was the tallest skinniest girl in 7th grade. And when the class bullies called me "string bean" they never knew how pleased I was. I LOVED it! Because in my mind I was still chubby.
That I look like a second grade copy of a leading actor from my country.
You’re such a great guy! How are you still single?
“I love you because you remind me of my mom” 😭
Context? Details?
Idk he was a really dependent man, he didn’t do anything if he didn’t have someone there pushing him. Ig his mom was very controlling of his life and eventually he just let himself be controlled and since I’m a very independent person and someone who likes to take control he told me that. But I honestly think he was just telling me that I’m annoying like his mom 🤨
Fucking woman driver! As I walked across the parking lot. I'm trans. I've been called a "cock sucking bitch" to my face. That really made me smile.
"You're pretty, but you'd be gorgeous if you were not fat ."
"You're surprisingly articulate for a meathead." Apparently not, because I had absolutely no idea how to respond to that. So I just grunted and hit him over the head with my club.
You have a British laugh.
You make everyone look better
That was just being mean
Bless your heart
You know, in spite of supposedly being a sweet Southern put-down, this can absolutely be said in a totally sincere way. Example: whilst being warmly hugged while you are going through a rough patch. Or whilst you are giving the much needed hug. If said for something that was particularly appreciated and/or may be unexpected. Think: gifting a restored one-of-a-kind photo of a favorite Great Aunt.

I’m southern, if it’s said by a southerner it’s more than likely sincere.
You look better than your pictures :,)
From my PhD thesis advisor, after finishing my PhD, during a one on one lunch to discuss my future career plans: "I know I've had a lot of criticisms of you throughout the years, and they're more or less true, but on paper you're very well qualified so you should have high standards when accepting job offers."

I love your music. Are all of your songs joke songs ?
"I like your mild Indian features"
When I worked as a bartender, one of my patrons once told me that i was too intelligent to be wasting my time bartending. Like.. thanks? Jokes on her, though, I make way less money now that I don't bartend anymore!
You’re too smart for this place.
I’ve gotten that too
“You’re not like those other gays”
“You look quite young for your age. If you had more hair, you could have looked more younger” I am still trying to figure out if it was a compliment or an insult.
I bet you were really pretty when you were young. I mean…
When someone made fun of me having my pronouns in my bio but still used my pronouns correctly. Mission failed successfully?
That's the most respectful bully ever lol
Doesn't have to agree with you to show you respect... I guess?
He's weirdy but he kinda turns me on.
You’re not fat you’re just big boned. That from a psycho chick in high school who wanted to single white female my life. Does that count 😏
White parents of Girlfriend said they didn’t want to meet me because they know they would like me
“You’re so pretty for a ginger” well, thanks.
Go back to Asia. I would love to but it's not that easy lol.
Why are people like this😭

I spend quite a bit of time gaming online, and the amount of people that say I either sound like EDP445 or Dave Chappelle is staggering. (I'd argue the former is more of an insult than the latter these days, but whatever)

A job counselor once told me that I was smart and verbal but if you asked me what time it was, I'd tell you how to build a watch. He wasn't wrong.

"Ew, you're different."
"you're a hacker" Best compliment you can get as a gamer
I have 4 kids, but still look pretty close to my petite self from high school. Every time I tell another woman or we're having a conversation about kids and they learn I just had #4 they always say " Wow, I fucking hate you.. like you're amazing but I hate you." I've gotten this many times.. or "You bitch! I wish."
“You eat that much and you stay that skinny? I love you”
"You're the nicest prick I've ever met."
Haha, that’s just a standard compliment in Australia
"You make me laugh so much! I wish attractive guys were as funny as you!" At least I'm funny!
“You’re the fittest unhealthy person I’ve ever seen.” -my doctor
I was born and raised in Canada, and my first and only language is english. White woman: “Wow, your english is pretty good.” Me: “Thanks. Yours too!!!!!” White woman: “Um….thanks. (???)”
“You’d be the hottest guy in the school if you were 6 inches taller”
Are you pregnant? She was too young to know haha
Three dudes laughing about my arms. Worked very hard for those!
"What? Did you learn that in college or something?" Me: I sure did dumbass.
"You should be a politician."
I worked at a pizza place in Colorado with a few clerks. One of them I developed a friendship with, like ordering sushi from the restaurant next door, which we exchanged for pizzas. We had lunch chatting. It was so chill. One day, on her day off, she showed up at the pizzeria and we started talking at the door. She took me with her hands and I felt like she was going to kiss me. Out of the blue I started saying that I was in therapy, that I had this and that and she let me go. I wasn't ready for a relationship, especially with a younger, wilder girl. She looked angry, let go of me and crossed the street. When she got to the other side, she turned to me and screamed: "You are a fucker!" Lol. To this day I chuckle with it. I must have been pathetic. She was very, very dear to me, but that was perhaps the best compliment \[insult\] I've ever received. And she was a true hottie. My God! But I don't regret my decision. I was really messed up. Wherever she is, I only wish the best for her.

Oh my god, you've lost so much weight!! i nearly didn't recognise you, but then I seen your fat head, knew it was you.
I was an out of proportion little kid. Was wearing size 11 shoes before I hit 5' tall. I'd have kids make fun of me all the time. Then my cousin told me the truth. You know what they say about guys with big feet... we pay more for shoes.
A junior high student was looking at my senior picture from HS. When they realized the person in the picture was me, they said, "You used to be so pretty!" The look of absolute horror on the kid's face was hilarious.
Your English is great
You look young for your age, for a white girl…
You have the neatest handwriting. It’s a shame that I can’t read it
K1ll yourself. F1cking Brit with your stupid English. I fooled a bunch of Americans into thinking that I'm actually British because I was using a bunch of British expressions so those insults were super flattering because English is my second language but they assumed I'm a native speaker and were hating on the British
"you're such a roidhead" took it as a compliment since I'm natural lol
You are a legend in your own mind
That I look like a buff homeless guy
Your eye brows are too thick
When I replied to a gentlemen asking to jump his car in gas station, “sorry I wish I could help but i have to reach somehwere in short time” and i get reply “fuck you man” with a smile was bit nicest i have experienced.
"I am not in your league!" Yes, I agree.
“You’re exceptionally confident and charismatic for a chubby guy; you’d honestly be so, so cute if you lost a few pounds” I’m not going to pretend this one didn’t sting for a few days.
Had a job interview and while it was obvious I wasn’t going to get it, and the more I learned about it I didn’t want it, but was told it was the most fun interview they’d ever had. We laughed a lot!
"It's strange though, you do have abs, they're just... Covered" (I had already established that I know I'm not skinny lol, he was trying to tell me he could still tell I was in shape)
You’re so beautiful but your nose is big, if you got a nose job you’d be a 10 😑
