A few years back I went out clubbing with a mixed group of friends (London). Then this dude comes up to our group, thought he'd hit on our resident fake barbie. But instead he comes to me and wanted my number.  I am not into guys, but the compliment was that this guy was really, really attractive and the girls were only talking about him for the rest of the night. The girls even wanted to get to know him, but that was a pointless avenue for them.

 

They're totally vampires. Sexy nurse vampires.

Did they say it because you're ugly and wanted to make you feel better? Or because they really meant it?

Not to make me feel better. As an unsolicited statement of fact. "Yeah, that was a funny episode. Ya know, I don't even care about your looks. I like you for your personality." They think it's a compliment, but no man--or woman, for that matter--wants to be told they are not desired at all for their physical contributions. It's an unintentional, back-handed compliment. Ladies, don't say that to a man. Just don't.

"You´re weird, but kinda cute" - that girl in summer camp whose name I can´t remember and who took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the streets drenched in warm summer rain as our group walked through the small town we were visiting. Somehow, I can´t get that girl out of my head. I wonder where she is right now?

Yeah I get this too. I have long thick eyelashes.

A girl once complimented me on them during a fling in South America and the next morning she was convinced I got up in the middle of the night and used her eyelash curler. I definitely didn’t - lol - that would be wack. She was a makeup artist from LA.

years ago while my mouth was pried open and I was getting a cleaning at the dentist, the hygienist said I had "the most beautiful frontals" while stroking the cleft of my upper lip and pushing her cans into my left ear. I was uncomfortable.

dental boobs are a thing - I think they clearly know what they are doing

"you would be a great bottom"

I've heard this since I was in high school. Gay guys have no shame and it has been said to me in front of other people. Why is it that gay men can say just about anything and its hilarious, but a guy could never say 'I wanna f-her right in the p----y' and have it ever be ok in a group of people?

Not a verbal compliment but visited China when I was ~8 and there were multiple groups of 20 something year old local women that stopped my parents to ask if they could take a picture with me (?? they thought I looked "exotic/cute" or some shit when im literally just half white half asian). Also went to c some film on that trip and another native sitting in the row directly behind me was telling my parents how cute I was and tried to pet my hair. Felt like a zoo animal at the time but funny as fuck reflecting back.

 

Not PC but here goes.

Bouncing at a LGBT bar during college.

Male Customer: "I'll give you $2,000 to sleep with you"

Me: "Didn't you offer my friend the other bouncer $5,000 last night?"

Male Customer: "Yes, but your butt isn't as nice as his"
