    Hey everyone (!)
    I was wondering, what is the most awkward compliment you have ever received?

    A lot of people think I have a beautiful smile (it's pretty average, really). I always get told that I have such "natural straight, white teeth" which contribute to my smile, it just makes me feel weird whenever people who aren't my dentist tell me that. Another thing I've been told is that I have nice thighs lol. And the last thing I can think of...well I live in a town that's mostly white (I'm black). I moved here right before 8th grade so I went in not knowing anybody. One of my very first days of school here, some 6th grader told me that I'm a "very nice chocolate mama" :icon_redf

    Okay...your turn now :wink:

    I was told by a girl I was kind of friends with that I made an ugly girl but would make a cute guy.

    Not really a compliment at me. But an elderly couple stopped me walking my dog and began to pet him saying, "he's so beautiful." Over and over again.

    They then proceeded to ask me if I was willing to sell him to them.

    That whole conversation was so bizarre and uncomfortable.

    Every compliment I get is awkward since I'm awkward. But I think it would have to be: "Your eyebrows are on point"
    "What?" *feels eyebrow*
    "your eyebrows are nice"
    "oh aha"

    I was getting a breast exam, and the doctor said that I had pretty eyes.

    "You look so young. Oh gosh, you're so...cuuute!"

    "I would love to watch you and your boyfriend have sex" (a drunk girl in Portland)

    "Well, you're so...brave. I couldn't ever do it." (a couple people on gender transition)

    "I could almost mistake you for a man in public" (a gay man)

    "You write good...for your age."

    "I would have sex with you if I wasn't a total lesbian"

    I was walking along I a suit one day, when I heard "What lovely socks!" Behind me, and turned around to see this old woman beaming at me. :icon_bigg

    In her defence, I was wearing blue and yellow socks with penguins on :icon_redf

    I think that was a back-handed compliment. Very shitty thing to do, I hate back-handed compliments (and just to clarify that's directed at whoever told you that, not you :wink:).

    "Your hair is really pretty miss"

    It started normal, until this guy, who had baggy Jordan shorts and timberland boots on and a cigarette behind his ear followed me into the parking lot. He then asked where I got my haircut. I ignored him.

    He sat there squatting on the ground and lit up a cigarette while I loaded my groceries hoping I wouldn't have to knock him out.

    He then got up and asked me "are you a man?"

    I'm like no.

    Are you?

    No, go away.

    I don't care if you are or not, you're beautiful.

    Why thank you.

    Next thing he says,

    How did you do it?

    Do what?

    Come out to your family?

    I haven't yet.

    Oh I'm terrified myself. I'm gay but I know my family won't accept me and I'm freaking out. My brother knew and loved me but he died. I'm scared and alone.

    Can I have your phone number?

    No, sorry.

    Please.

    No I'm sorry.

    At least let me hug you?

    Ok.

    His mom pulls up.

    I'm like you better get in the car before you have to explain why you are hugging a very tall random woman in the parking lot.

    Most surreal experience I've ever had.

    "you look like Barbie" - really?!... Ugh

    "perfect ass!" - as a group of guys drove by me getting into my car at the mall parking lot

    "The perfect combination of sexy and cute" - by a male friend.. Which made friendship a little awk.

    "Your eyes are so mysterious" - how are eyes mysterious?

    "Wow, you ride him so well." -A little girl

    "Him" referring to a horse. Not in a strange way.
