Another one:
Back in high school, a classmate was tired and I was sitting on part of a bench and a group of friends were talking around it. She laid down on the rest of the bench and put her head on my lap.
“You have a comfy lap!”- That’s what she said. Neither before nor after has anyone rested his/her head on my lap to confirm that.
After a lenghty discussion on what horrible things would happen if C++ tried to interpret the numeral 09 in octal, I was asked if I had OCD.
I was told I have nicely shaped nail beds.
I love the way your lips bring out your ass!!!
Hmmm, my brother is a doctor and he has taught his kids sex education from a very early age, at least knowing the proper names for body parts, etc - I suppose it helps take the mystery out of it for them.
Anyway, a few years ago when my niece was about five years old, we were standing outside talking - now, sometimes, you’ll notice how your jeans kind of pucker in front at the zipper, creating a slightly over-emphasized bulge.
Upon seeing the bulge, my niece said"
“Wow, Uncle Andy, you have a really big penis!”
While normally I’d like to hear that, without the “uncle” bit, it was rather unsettling.
“nice teeth” -> ( as told to me by a creepy old man at work)
Gee, I hope you are a guy…
Background: I’ve just recently allowed a goatee to grow. Before now, I was never compared to anybody. In the last six months:
I don’t really see these, but I’ll view them as compliments.
I’ve also recently started writing - some poetry, some short erotica, and a what’s-turning-into-a-book. This truly seems to amaze people who know me…but they’re also saying things like:
“Write faster, damnit! I want to know what happens next!” As I’ve never written anything but papers before this summer, these are definitely strange compliments to me.
“Hey, this kid is okay. Don’t kill him, just work him over.”
On a abstract city painting I did when i was in the 8th grade the teacher looks at it and says “'Its crap but its good crap”
I guess with the way my hands were (due to disibaility) the teacher was suprised I could do anything with them
“You know, if I was dying a slow death I’d want you around.”
I think that was referencing my optimism and ability to make people laugh. At least, that’s what I choose to believe.
I’ve also been called a good bleeder by the Red Cross.
You don’t write like a girl from an email praising my column. I guess because my column is about wrestling and not my lust for Rob Van Dam…I guess a woman is expected to write “OMG! Rob has a hot ass!!!”
Once when I was on a date in college my girlfriend told me, “You look really good in the dark.”
Things really didn’t work out with us after that.
Back in elementary school: “At least you’re fat all over, so it’s proportional and you look OK.”
Um, gee, thanks.
In grad school: “You were rockin’ in there!” after a French class in which I ably handled whatever the prof tossed at us that day.
Uh, for conjugating verbs?
A woman who was cutting my hair said I had the cutest ears she’d ever seen.
Also, I was once told: “There’s no one I’d rather be missed by than you!” I believe she meant it in a good way. Ironically, I don’t miss her at all.
I can relate - I have the body type that gains pretty uniformly, and when I was heavier, I was fairly adept at disguising it. I dropped about 65 lbs or so, I told some friends how much I used to weigh (about 220), many of them said something to the effect of “Wow - you didn’t look that fat.”
“Your skin is so ivory-pale: it’s like ‘Pork, The Other White Meat.’”
Once a girl I was seeing told me I had nice veins… neither I nor she have ever habitually used needles before, by the way…
Disturbed me slightly.
Oh, and I’ve said to someone before that she looked good in the dark… I see in the dark. She looked good. Why is it insulting to have that said to you?
I was DJing and someone said I was “cooler than shit.” I remarked that any compliment containing the word shit had to be meaningful.
Years ago when I made music, people would listen to our tapes and say something like “Really, that’s you?” in a surprised tone. It was a compliment to them, but they were really saying “you don’t appear as someone that has talent, I’m surprised you do.”
