If you don't think you're beautiful, then you need beautiful lessons.

The old "you scrub up well" line is a classic compliment/insult.

It's nearly always usually said in a playful enough way that it's firmly in compliment territory though but still... there's room to manoeuvre there if you were so inclined!

I get told this almost every time I wear a suit. Not a compliment in my opinion.

I get this one a lot. My own fault though, for being a scruff bag on a normal day. When I do make the effort, everyone says it. I take it as a compliment.

I Heart Internet

A number of women have said to me that, for someone so well endowed in the pants department and so obviouslly good-looking, I'm a fabulously gentle and generous lover.

Thought that was kinda nice of them.

A back handed compliment is no compliment at all...

I once got told

"you look like that one, bridget jones" leaving whelans one night... that means the dude had beer goggles on shudder to think what he would have thought of me sober

OP, that is the weirdest "compliment" I've ever heard.

I've had several "eh, was that a compliment or an insult?!" moments, but never anything quite that weird :pac:. Most recent one was being compared to Taylor Swift... and my favourite one from years ago: "If I had friends, you'd be one!" from a random guy on the street.

"Yeah you being a rocker makes it a compliment, to everyone else your friend would just be a strange creep but hey who are we to judge? I wish you both the best."

You sound just like the skangers that used to shouted "smelly rockers" at me and my friends when we were 14. (Never mind that we smelled far cleaner than them... ). Are you 14? If not, it may be time to grow up a little and understand that not everyone likes to dress the way you do...

Did you happen to be taking a bite out of a lemon at the time? Or maybe staring at something very bright after having your eyes closed for a long time?

About 15 years ago a girl comes up to me on a night out and says "When I was younger I used to fancy Ian Dempsey and you look like a young Ian Dempsey"

BonsaiKitten

I was told I should work sex chat lines...I think it was meant as a compliment but I dunno now!

edit: 69th post. Heh.

At this point, I don't think even Jim Morrison's cock is hanging off Jim Morrison anymore.

Most beautiful one Ive heard was 'Youve got big tits for a skinny bird'...not directed at me.

"Can I sleep on your floor? No? Ahh you chink bastard!"

"I really appreciate you fixing my computer... where's all my porn gone? Ahh you knob jockey!"

"You probably never have to pay for Sky with those ears!"

"Hasn't he a woeful beggar face on him!"


The English language is both wonderful and confusing at the same time! :pac:

Your friend is clearly a loser. **** humour. Who the hell says that to describe someone as good looking, just tryna imagine me being like to a girl 'you look like you should be at the end of JB's cock' sounds ****in weird and creepy, i'd say your friend is a scruffy dirty rocker so if its a compliment it doesn't mean much.

Jim Morrison was cool, JB is a knobend.

I think it was a compliement, it's saying you are good-looking enough to attract the attention of a man who would have had groupies throwing themselves at him (if he were still young and alive).

Who the hell is JB when he's at home?

Justin Bieber, the Miley Cyrus equivalent, both whiter than Casper but think they're 2Pac reincarnate.

"You have BJ lips" - the sweetest thing a skanger has ever said to me whilst passing me in the street.

Better than the time another one helpfully informed that I have saggy tits.

True stories, both.

I was going to say I'd love to look inside your head, but it sounded a bit Hannibal Lecterish :pac:

Blond hair & fair skin = cheese perhaps?
Well his tone suggested it was complimentary so I'm just going to accept I look like gone off milk.

being compared to a groupie is a compliment? i think most men have a low opinion of groupies. i dislike eden's comment about dirty rockers, i shower every day:mad:, but he/she has a point about it being an insult. there are better ways to impress a woman. for example by telling her you're falling in love with her brain and would like to kiss it. to some that is just daft beaviour, but i prefer to say something like that than make crude and smutty comments to try and impress one.

See my earlier comment to April about saying something like that coming off a bit Hannibal Lecterish

than make crude and smutty comments to try and impress one.

And some girls love crude and smutty, it's not an effort to impress them, or them to impress me, but simply honesty. Could the OP's friend have put it better? Certainly... But where's the fun in that?

well, believe it or not, that kind of comment has worked for me several times:) so why change a successful strategy.

i suppose some girls do enjoy smutty banter, because i remember a girl who used to love making suggestive comments to me because she knew i didn't know how to handle them. she is also used to tell me she'd really fancy me if i had short hair. i was tempted to cut it:P, but she was my friends sister, and he wouldn't have liked me dating his sister. so out of respect for him i didn't try anything.

I've no doubt that's worked for you several times nacho, but I wouldn't be so inclined to formulate a strategy when it comes to people now myself, they're the most unpredictable fcukers, so for me everything depends on context if you get me?

I can understand where you're coming from, but again- me personally, if I like a girl enough, I'm not going to be too bothered what my best mate thinks, he's either my best mate, or he's not, regardless of how I feel about his sister.

yes, i understand you. some girls would think you were idiot for saying these kinds of things. i should clarify that i don't randomly go up to a girl and ask can i kiss her brain. if i get to know her and we like each other, i tend to say things like that as a compliment.


to be honest even if his sister was the potential love of my life, i just wouldn't go there. maybe it is that he should be happy for his sister to be with me, but as you say people are strange/unpredictable.

Friends sisters would be off limits for me too. Not going to risk a friendship over a woman.
