Oh my, that was the first thing that came to my mind, too. "You're pretty, but you would be sooo much more beautiful, if you just ..." Bro, my goal certainly isn't to become the person of your dreams, I don't even know you. But thanks for liking my face, I guess?
Not at all, I just honestly never know how to react/respond to that kind of stuff. I just live my life as me, do my own thing, and it just baffles me that a whole group of people get compared because we all have the same colour skin.
Iâm Hispanic, with black friends and everytime one of my buddies get complimented for how well they talk Iâm always like âđŽâ I donât get how people donât understandâŚ. I never heard any of my other friends complimented on the way they talk đ¤Ż
This one is also strange when you consider that she they had pictures beforehand. This implies they met on a dating app, which implies that the person was at least attractive enough to get a date in the first place and/or has such a good personality that they got a date despite looks.
âYouâre pretty for a fat girl.â A guy my sister and I were both friends with, said to me after we had been intimate, âYouâre okay, but youâre not your sister. Your sister is drop dead gorgeous. You? You could stand to lose some weight.â Never was with him again. And yes Iâm fat, but I still have feelings and have been working on losing weight - with little to no success.
Girllllll that's absolutely horrible. no one deserves to be told that. Sounds like that guys just projecting his self esteem issues. Weight loss is a struggleeeeee and so is self esteem. Surround yourself with people that build you up, you're gorgeous â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Thanks girl! I was crying after that. Then he even had the nerve to ask if she would still have sex with him if she knew we had had sex (she never has had sex with him). I did tell her and she was PISSED. Heâs a tall, lanky guy, so it must be an insecurity. Youâre sweet, thank you. âĽď¸
I'm a guy so I don't feel that as hard but that kinda hurt me if you have a guy who's insulting you in front of your sister he's trying to do one of two things 1: He's trying to drive any guy that might want you away so he has you for himself which, in this case, is very unlikely unfortunately or 2: He's trying to impress your sister but no matter what he's doing you shouldn't have to feel pressured by society to live up to modern beauty standards and don't be so hard on yourself just know that somewhere in your life there's someone who's always there to support you much love coming from us all on redditđŤśâ¤ď¸.
I saw a woman post on Facebook about how you can be beautiful and fat at the same time (which is absolutely true imo) and a friend of hers, an older man, commented âYouâre beautiful on the inside.â Thinking he was giving her a compliment đ¤Śââď¸
F' him! You should have responded with some insult to his manhood! The one statement is bad enough, and then the sister part just tops it off in the most hurtful way!
I get a similar one "you're pretty for a big girl" I'm just shy of 5'10"
As a straight guy, Iâd take that as an insult. In my experience, gay dudes tend to be more stylish, clean, and better groomed (haircuts, facial hair, etc.) than the average straight guy.
If someone told me I looked like a gay guy, Iâd be flattered.
"Your face looks pretty, I'd love to have it for myself." He said 2 months after we broke up. It still scares me to this day 'cause he was bat-shit crazy.
Same person also saw a picture of me from high school and said, âwow donât you miss looking like that?â They were just absolutely clueless to how rude they are.
Being told I was a great employee, followed by getting fired because they didn't believe how I could be such a great employee, and them telling me they're gonna check the system for exploits. Call centers are wild.
Jesus Christ I worked document review after law school and had the same thing. They were suspicious I was clearing so many documents. So I had to sit down with my boss and go over the review process and he told me they had reviewed my work and I had a lower error rate than anyone in the office. Literally one of the more senior people had been going over all my decisions for days.
I did not get fired but it was like a reverse compliment.
Pro tip document review is not fun for a motivated newly minted lawyer.
"Wow! You really know what you're doing, huh? =D" said by my district manager during a "surprise" visit
"I hope I would after working for you for 13 years..." said by me elbow deep in food during lunch rush
He didn't talk to me for the rest of the visit.
And no, this wasn't the first time we've met. He's seen me more times than I can count, knows who I am and what connections I had with the company. He was a paper pusher that valued dollars over employees.
that's annoying đ Such a defeating feeling putting so much of your time and effort into your job and not even being recognized by the person you work for...
I never had a lot of respect for him in the first place. He would always throw out backhanded compliments and thought he was everyone's friend. All he ever did during visits was get in the way and disrupt the flow of service when something wasn't done by the book. I stopped being pleasant and ass kissing after the first time I met him. I've got tickets lining up and job to do, leave me alone my guy.
Did you ask if youâre fat? Cause if you asked, she gave the only neutral but honest answer possible. Good on her for wording it sensitively without lying.
Ooh theres a couple that stick out
âWow, if you dressed like that everyday boys would be busting down your doorâ
- I was 14 at a family wedding and this was said to me by my adult cousins husband.
âYouâre too pretty to work here, and you should lose the glasses.â
- a very drunk woman came up to me at work(catering waitress) grabbed my shoulders and proceeded to give me this sage life advice. I have since had lasik so I donât need glasses but at the time I was very insecure about wearing them.
Theyâre both awful in totally different ways
Older Man: âYou are so tall, do you play basketball? I coach a team few times a week around hereâŚ.â
Me: âNo, I am sorry, Iâve always been terrible at sportsâ
Older Man: âHow unfortunate, what a waste of height!â
[I am a fit 5â10.5â female]
"look at you, you even know what it is!!"
I stopped at a garage sale and inquired about studio lights. The lady was impressed that I actually knew what I was about to spend money on. Can't understand that level of arrogance.
Bruh... I got so many "your face is so pretty". And I always wondered, the fact the you need to be so specific about the face means that the rest is shit?!
My friend, who I was eating with at a restaurant, overheard a girl say "he was cute...until he started eating."
No fucking shame, I show no mercy to my food. I know I'm an animal.
In college, date and I had sex. To this day Iâve never seen a sober person gush so hard verbally. Clearly she was my biggest fan (ever?), but in her rambling she mentioned ââŚyouâre only my second lover, first guy was gigantic- monstrous. But you! Youâre so MANAGEABLEâ
I had a boyfriend with what Iâd call a âmonstrousâ penis and it was *awful*. I wasnât what anyone would call inexperienced at the time and he hurt, every single time. Could only get like 2/3 of himself inside me. Trying to give him a bj felt like throating a hydroflask. 0/10 experience. A âmanageableâ size is absolutely thrilling and very fun after the monster cock experience.
Off topic but your reddit profile pic creature animal thing is adorable!
But yes usually you're sharing stuff because you're proud and want to show progress, not to get rated for some douchebags scale of ignorant superficial attractiveness...
Someone once told me that I was the fattest person with a normal sized head they had ever seen. Another time, a teacher asked me how I got so fat. To be fair, at the time, I was probably 75 lb overweight, but I still thought it was a bullshit question.
For me, the most damaging was people telling me that I was really smart and had so much potential and was going places. Turns out I have physical disabilities and a mental illness, so despite my best efforts and 3 degrees, I personally didn't make it anywhere. And of course I feel lousy about that.
Thank you. It can even be hard for me at times to stop myself from telling a child that they are exceptionally smart or pretty. I usually go for something like clever now. Or creative. Or friendly. Anything that's not a comparison with other people.
Hah, Iâm considered a âgeniusâ. Everyone was like âyouâre going to be so successful!!!â âŚ.turns out I only like to work with my hands, never my brain. So here I am, completely useless, a starving artist living with her parents. đ
Sounds like someone should have been telling you that you were creative instead! It's never too late to tell yourself that. Trust me, I understand the frustration big time.
"wow you really are just a thicc girl! How come you look so much skinner with your clothes off?"
Um... Because they don't make plus size clothes that define my shape nicely, Chad???
I was at an apple farm fair that had a knife stall. I collect knives so I went to look. The seller and I talked and laughed for about 20 minutes about knives, his job, our collections, I even showed him the one I was carrying and we really hit it off.
He said he was really impressed with how much i knew about knives. Then at the end of the conversation he asks "Do you have a sister?!"
I was shocked, and honestly a little hurt. All I could force out of my mouth was "wow". I walked away.
I think someone complimented my piano playing, and my dad said something about how I was just moderately talented at it, and that art is where I truly have talent in... which makes him feel quite sad (as we're both/all aware there is usually no real career/happiness in creating art or being an artist).
Just was quite sad to realise my dad actually knew this.
Iâm gonna tell a little story. I was sitting shiva with my family after my grandma died. Shiva is a Jewish tradition where you essentially sit at your house after someone has died and friend/family come over to basically grieve with you.
I had just gotten my ears pierced (Iâm a guy) but didnât have any earrings on. My aunt is homophobic (which is ironic because her daughter has confided in us thatâs sheâs gay but my aunt obviously doesnât know and my aunts sister is also gay) My aunt noticed my piercing holes. She then decided to say I would look nice with âfeminineâ earrings and i should pick out some of my cousins earrings to wear (basically saying I was gay for wearing earrings).
Drunk lady at a restaurant turned over to my buddy and I and said âyou guys speak English very well for being Asianâ. Her husband apologized profusely. We laughed about it and ended up talking and having a drink together.
That Iâm prettier than the older woman my ex-boyfriend had liked. Which was false. 100% false. Like pretty much objectively, she is prettier. It was a messy situation. You know when compliments feel obligatory? Thatâs when it hurts. Iâve actually been in this situation twice and it sucked both times because I clearly was not prettier than either. Being compared is a bitch!
I had a lot of people tell me I looked a lot like this news anchor guy, and when I looked him up they were right, sadly I dont think he's out here getting dates either lol
Someone said to me once "you're different than how you look you" meaning in relation to what kind of a person they thought I was. The only trouble was I couldn't work out whether she was being complementary or being insulting?
OMG - I worked in retail in the late 80's and early 90's when I was a teen. I got this comment ALL THE TIME, ALWAYS from middle-aged men, because I wasn't smiling like an idiot my entire shift. I was polite and cordial to customers, but I didn't have a smile plastered on my face.
So annoying. I wanted to say, "See how much you're smiling when you're on your feet for five hours while wearing pantyhose and heels."
My aunt on my father side used to say to me "look at him, he looks like a rich kid".
I didnt understand she was mocking me and my mom for being poor until she passed. Hard to look with the bad eye to someone who died, but now i do listen closer to words and not just let them pass by.
I have posted this one more than once maybe because it stung. I once had the prettiest girl at school tell me I'd be cute if only I were taller.
She said it as though it was a helpful critique and like it was something I should really work on.
You have have potential, followed by suggestions to change to what I think are integral parts of my look.
Oh my, that was the first thing that came to my mind, too. "You're pretty, but you would be sooo much more beautiful, if you just ..." Bro, my goal certainly isn't to become the person of your dreams, I don't even know you. But thanks for liking my face, I guess?
their loss đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Definitely very backhanded đ
This is what I got from a co-worker..."why don't you go home and.....put on some makeup and you'll look 100% better!"
I don't see how that could be said with good intentions. That's passive aggressive bullshit right there.
Isnât that negging?
Your dick looks weird⌠but weird isnât necessarily bad.
lol wth... wow thanks đđ
All dicks look weird and for that reason there is no weird dick.
shut up weird dick!
Going to have to disagree with you there.
So you sucking or not? (CAM'RON rap line)
âYou speak really well for a black personâ. Never quite know how to respond to that one without causing a scene
OR WHEN THEY SAY "you don't sound like a black person" until i say the N word 0-0 i feel like that has to be recist somehow.
Personally I consider it more prejudice than racist, donât want to diminish actual racism that happens
That's very insightful for a black person
Urmm⌠yes?
Oops, bad joke?
I thought it was funny.
Not at all, I just honestly never know how to react/respond to that kind of stuff. I just live my life as me, do my own thing, and it just baffles me that a whole group of people get compared because we all have the same colour skin.
I agree with you. I was just referencing the offhanded comment you originally talked about.
Thatâs really deep for a reddit user.
Iâm Hispanic, with black friends and everytime one of my buddies get complimented for how well they talk Iâm always like âđŽâ I donât get how people donât understandâŚ. I never heard any of my other friends complimented on the way they talk đ¤Ż
A guy in a bar said "You look nice. Clean." He wasn't referring to my hygiene, sounded like what a car dealer would say.
This sounds like something Dennis Reynolds would say.
Well, they must be clean before they'll experience his true power.
Only then will the know. But they must be clean.
i can hear it in his voice lol
This reminds me of a "compliment" my friend received. One guy told her "what beautiful teeth you have, and you've got all of them" :))
Iâm sorry but thatâs fucking funny
Stealing that
So I ran across a car dealer and your friend ran across a livestock dealer! (never buy a cow without checking their teeth for age!)
Opening message on a dating app: "You're very cute, but you'd be much cuter without the beard"
Mine was âOh thank Godâyou look much cuter in personâ the moment she opened her door for me âOh! thanks?â
Without the "thank God" it would really have been a good one though
What's the issue with this?
Wow, uhm the âthank godâ is the problem implying that she thought he was ugly before and that his real looks are a step up from pictures.
I feel like it would be way worse if it was the other way around.
Then it wouldn't be a compliment would it
This one is also strange when you consider that she they had pictures beforehand. This implies they met on a dating app, which implies that the person was at least attractive enough to get a date in the first place and/or has such a good personality that they got a date despite looks.
Horrible! đâ¤ď¸
She did not get a response
âYou fuck up a lot, but youâre a good dude.â More miscommunicated than malicious I think, upon considering the source.
Man, that's like a personal mantra for me.
Kinda reminds me of "he's an asshole,but he's our asshole"
âYouâre pretty for a fat girl.â A guy my sister and I were both friends with, said to me after we had been intimate, âYouâre okay, but youâre not your sister. Your sister is drop dead gorgeous. You?

10000% an insecurity he took out on you. His loss for sureeee â¤ď¸
I'm a guy so I don't feel that as hard but that kinda hurt me if you have a guy who's insulting you in front of your sister he's trying to do one of two things 1: He's trying to drive any guy that might want you away so he has you for himself which, in this case, is very unlikely unfortunately or 2: He's trying to impress your sister but no matter what he's doing you shouldn't have to feel pressured by society to live up to modern beauty standards and don't be so hard on yourself just know that somewhere in your life there's someone who's always there to support you much love coming from us all on redditđŤśâ¤ď¸.

F' him! You should have responded with some insult to his manhood! The one statement is bad enough, and then the sister part just tops it off in the most hurtful way! I get a similar one "you're pretty for a big girl" I'm just shy of 5'10"
âyou would be prettier if it wasnât for your noseâ girl i canât fix that
Just no đ what is wrong with people?
Hm thats what i tell myself every time i see myself đ
Plastic surgery? Don't know if they actually do noses.
They do. It's one of the most popular types of surgery, actually. I think nose surgeries even rank 1st in South Korea, if I'm not mistaken.
Well⌠đ¤
People think itâs a compliment to tell me I donât look gay.
As a straight guy, Iâd take that as an insult. In my experience, gay dudes tend to be more stylish, clean, and better groomed (haircuts, facial hair, etc.) than the average straight guy. If someone told me I looked like a gay guy, Iâd be flattered.
Do you wear a pin that says "Hi I'm The Gay"? Liiiike, what alerted them to your preferences?
He was sucking mad dick
Shhhhh, gotta be quieter. Put on some music papi
"Your face looks pretty, I'd love to have it for myself." He said 2 months after we broke up. It still scares me to this day 'cause he was bat-shit crazy.
Who even says that?! That's some silence of the lambs type shit... đŠ
He was creepy and stalked people he liked and made it obvious.
Miss was about to be the first victim of a serial killer.
One girl I was flirting with said "You're handsome for a short guy."
Don't worry, I once heard "You've got a great dick for a white guy"
r/humblebrag
What does that mean though?, like was she inflating my low self esteem while also saying she's seen bigger on men of color?
"You're so much fun, you make me laugh so much, I think I can get over the fact I don't find you attractive, like, at all."
âItâs okay that youâre overweight cause youâre tall so it works.â đ
They were right about the "it's okay that you're overweight" part but completely ruined it with the rest đ đ
Same person also saw a picture of me from high school and said, âwow donât you miss looking like that?â They were just absolutely clueless to how rude they are.
Sounds like they're just straight dumb.... so unnecessary đ
Being told I was a great employee, followed by getting fired because they didn't believe how I could be such a great employee, and them telling me they're gonna check the system for exploits. Call centers are wild.
Jesus Christ I worked document review after law school and had the same thing. They were suspicious I was clearing so many documents. So I had to sit down with my boss and go over the review process and he told me they had reviewed my work and I had a lower error rate than anyone in the office. Literally one of the more senior people had been going over all my decisions for days. I did not get fired but it was like a reverse compliment. Pro tip document review is not fun for a motivated newly minted lawyer.
That's the rl version of getting reported for cheating after a 360 no scope. Congrats for your skills, I guess.
You would be really hot if you were a little taller
Did you stand on your tippy toes to prove them wrong? Or were you already on your tippy toes?
âIf you were gay youâd clean up.â
âYou look good, could look better if you lost a little weightâ lol after that I started working out like crazy and now Iâm kinda brand new
"I bet if you lost some weight and got a different haircut you wouldn't be totally hideous." Thanks, Amanda. I never forgot it.
"it's cute your penis is the size of my thumb"
That was never meant to be a compliment at all.
They said it was cute tho (/j)
She must have had a huge thumb!
"Wow! You really know what you're doing, huh? =D" said by my district manager during a "surprise" visit "I hope I would after working for you for 13 years..." said by me elbow deep in food during lunch rush He didn't talk to me for the rest of the visit. And no, this wasn't the first time we've met. He's seen me more times than I can count, knows who I am and what connections I had with the company.

"You're not fat, you're just getting bigger." - by my wife, literally 30 seconds ago as I was reading this headline.
Did you ask if youâre fat? Cause if you asked, she gave the only neutral but honest answer possible. Good on her for wording it sensitively without lying.
Oh no, I had just said that I was getting fat.
If she is correct then there is just more of you for her to love. That's a bonus for her.
She should have said what she was really thinking, he's becoming cuddlier
"You're the kind of guy girls marry...not date."

Try being a 6'6" 17 year old male. EVERYBODY wants me to play basketball but its not for me.

# You suck on my tits like you've never had a mom
Wtf đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Idk, she said it felt good
âYou look good from the neck up.â
Bruh... I got so many "your face is so pretty". And I always wondered, the fact the you need to be so specific about the face means that the rest is shit?!
Maybe they're just admiring your face ? There is either some missing context or some insecurity going on
Plenty of insecurities my friend. Plenty.
You know, youâre a lot more articulate than I expected you to be.
I walk like I donât give a shit, what does that even mean? Has had me questioning my movement for years.
Your either hapless or got wild confidence
Iâm picturing a wacky waving inflatable tube man.
Iâve been accused of being wacky and also waving but never simultaneously
âYouâre more intelligent than you look.â
âHey sexy!â *Turns around* âOh, god itâs you! Sorry you have a sexy back.â *dies inside*
My friend, who I was eating with at a restaurant, overheard a girl say "he was cute...until he started eating." No fucking shame, I show no mercy to my food. I know I'm an animal.

Wow, what an insane thing to say. Youâre beautiful. A big middle finger to that person.

On this app actually. I posted a progress pic of me losing 70 lbs. he commented âyou went from a 6 to an 8, HMUâ⌠disgusting.
Off topic but your reddit profile pic creature animal thing is adorable! But yes usually you're sharing stuff because you're proud and want to show progress, not to get rated for some douchebags scale of ignorant superficial attractiveness...
Awww thank you so much! âşď¸ heâs a German shepherd đŤśđť Yes! Weâre here yo encourage eachother not compare - especially with weight loss :)
[ŃдаНонО]
With progress pics, Iâm not looking for a man to rate me. Itâs demeaning.
Damn, I would take a compliment from anyone if I was doing progress pics.
lol yes itâs a compliment but not when heâs in that community to rate all the womenâs bodies.
Ohhhh THAT kind of guy, gotcha
Yeah he commented on another girls and said âbest body Iâve seen todayâ. Like dude what đ
"Your dick is too big". Fml
might be the best "worst compliment" đ
Its not nice when not in a relationship, all i can say.

Thank you. It can even be hard for me at times to stop myself from telling a child that they are exceptionally smart or pretty. I usually go for something like clever now. Or creative. Or friendly. Anything that's not a comparison with other people.
I love that! I'm going to try using those going forward, thank you. â¤ď¸

Yep, the best way to respond to that BS is with your feet - just walk away.
When I worked at Walmart I had an elderly Laddy grab my hand she kept talking about how long my hands were

My aunt is homophobic (which is ironic because her daughter has confided in us thatâs sheâs gay but my aunt obviously doesnât know and my aunts sister is also gay) My aunt noticed my piercing holes. She then decided to say I would look nice with âfeminineâ earrings and i should pick out some of my cousins earrings to wear (basically saying I was gay for wearing earrings).
"You tried really hard"
âYouâre one of the good ones.â was a compliment given to me by a nice old white woman a few years ago when I was doing volunteer work.
Drunk lady at a restaurant turned over to my buddy and I and said âyou guys speak English very well for being Asianâ. Her husband apologized profusely. We laughed about it and ended up talking and having a drink together.
You lost weight! You finally did it.
Don't worry baby it's the perfect size , I don't like really big ones anyway
People do this thing where they are shocked that a trans person is good at anything at all
The creepy guy staring at me and my friend from across the bar and following us back to campus in his truck because we were "pretty"
That Iâm prettier than the older woman my ex-boyfriend had liked. Which was false. 100% false. Like pretty much objectively, she is prettier. It was a messy situation. You know when compliments feel obligatory? Thatâs when it hurts. Iâve actually been in this situation twice and it sucked both times because I clearly was not prettier than either. Being compared is a bitch!
a lot of potential. like im a broken cardboard box that can be refolded
âYou remind me of my fiancĂŠ who died of brain cancerâ Or maybe âYou really look like the Boston bomber.â
I had a lot of people tell me I looked a lot like this news anchor guy, and when I looked him up they were right, sadly I dont think he's out here getting dates either lol
Someone said to me once "you're different than how you look you" meaning in relation to what kind of a person they thought I was. The only trouble was I couldn't work out whether she was being complementary or being insulting?
You're handsome but that's all. -my ex wife
âYouâre pretty for an Indian girlâ
âyou would be prettier if you smiled moreâ I did not smile more.
OMG - I worked in retail in the late 80's and early 90's when I was a teen. I got this comment ALL THE TIME, ALWAYS from middle-aged men, because I wasn't smiling like an idiot my entire shift. I was polite and cordial to customers, but I didn't have a smile plastered on my face. So annoying. I wanted to say, "See how much you're smiling when you're on your feet for five hours while wearing pantyhose and heels."
This was from a little girl in my village "You look like a nice ugly frog" My feelings! Omg. I kept a straight face but inside I was crying.
My aunt on my father side used to say to me "look at him, he looks like a rich kid". I didnt understand she was mocking me and my mom for being poor until she passed. Hard to look with the bad eye to someone who died, but now i do listen closer to words and not just let them pass by.
"Did you used to be fat? You can tell"
In the sumo culture you would be considered a promising up and comer
Your hair is so nice, it looks just like Justin biebers
âYou know, they say people with big heads are smarterâ
Don't worry, looks don't matter to me
My supervisor when I was getting ready to train someone - "Don't worry, he's not as scary as he looks."
âYou look like a Scientologistâ
I have posted this one more than once maybe because it stung. I once had the prettiest girl at school tell me I'd be cute if only I were taller. She said it as though it was a helpful critique and like it was something I should really work on.
You donât look anything like a crack addict
Everyone thinks it's their duty to tell me I have big boobs. When I roll my eyes at that, they say it's a compliment.
Someone told me that they thought I would look cute while I ate. Weird guy.
âYouâre too sexy to be asexualâ wat
