Backhanded compliments

[PlinkPlink]

When I used to play rugby, we went on a night out in the local town for a piss up a spot of team bonding.

One of the ladies, who had never really bothered speaking to me (so I didn't bother either), turned to me and said "You know, Plink, you're actually alot more interesting than I thought you were."

😂😂

Granted, she was drunk but I'm curious and want to hear -

What backhanded compliments have you received? The more outrageous the better! 😂

(This is obviously lighthearted 😂)

"Put her beautiful head on her fit body and I'm never walking again! Bloke at the bar to his mate about gorgeous but fat me and ugly but fit colleague. We both heard him and just rolled our eyes. He did look suitably embarrassed and approached me to apologise the next time I saw him.

Walking should be Wanking. My autocorrect is a prude.

I used to get the glasses thing all the time when I was younger. In fact I remember my mum making me take my glasses off on special occasions, so I don't really remember them because I was almost blind and everyone was blurry.

Not really a backhanded compliment, but I had my hair done into a big volumey Mohawk thing for a wedding. It was very different to my usual hair down thing. Dh came to pick me up for the hairdressers with kidding the back. I asked the kids what they thought and ds1 said 'yeah it looks nice... like a roller coaster.'

"I think you're georgeous, I like my women with a bit of meat on them"

I was 18 and a size 10 at the time. My "admirer" was older than my Dad!

Went for a job in a very image conscious, middle class profession. Interveiwer to me:
"We don't usually get people with names like yours applying here"
ie my christian name was too working class!

You look like Charlize Theron...........in monster

XH's father: "You're not his usual type!"

Never did get to the bottom of that one.

Medical staff often say to my husband, your daughter looks after you very well, they mean me!

Charlie Theron in Monster 😂😂😂

Was that actually meant as a compliment, @Chelsea26?! 😂😂😂

*Charlize

I get the cervix one with some of my smears, too.

"Nice tits" shouted by a passing lorry driver when I was 14. He was my brother's g/f's father and was in his early 40s.

I've always been a perve magnet.

My GP told me at my 6 week check after DC2 that my cervix was More impressive than it had been after DC1. Er thanks?

During a smear I was told that ‘everything is very neat in there’ and I was like 😏 thanks for noticing.

Two very ‘rummaging’ smears and a failed coil insertion later I realise that ‘neat’ meant tightly closed and hidden away, not that I keep a tidy shop

We were having a sort out of the loft once and I'd found my mum and dad's wedding album. MIL happened to come over while we had all the stuff out so she started having a look. She took one look at my mum and said 'There's an example of someone who gets better with age.'

My nanny was terrible for this 😬😬 Her latest one before she died was "Suze maybe it's a good thing that your car has broken down, now you can start walking some of that fat off" Cue lots of sniggering from my mum and sister

Years ago I went on a date with a guy and really liked him. The next day he emailed and said he could probably "have a fling" with me but not an actual relationship. hmm

^^

I had the same thing. Talk about flattering a woman
