Even a man at the garden center

Nice when that happens but I haven’t had hay many compliments in a day in years

It's sold out now !

I’m 47 and could still wear that! Hmm
It depends on the woman / if you’ve looked after yourself. You’ve kept your arms toned and your skin nice!
You definitely do not go to pot after 35😆

Love it how for once someone posts something positive about their appearance then gets called on it Hmm

Bet you looked fab, lard

bobstersmum · 08/07/2019 13:15

I'm too busty to wear that I think, but it is lovely! Can we see a pic of you wearing it? Or is that weird?

Lardlizard · 08/07/2019 13:16

Well I don’t want to put myself in rl !

Chop your head off?

Lardlizard · 08/07/2019 13:35

Well then you can see the background and also you wouldn’t really be able to see what it looks like on me, unless you just mean my body !!

Who are these people just telling random people they look nice?

That's what I find weird.

"Excuse me mate, how much is that bag of manure?"
"Cor you look good in that dress love..."

"no I don't need help packing, but can I have a 5p carrier as well please?"
"You look nice in that dress."

Just seems so random and odd. Friends, family, other halfs I can understand, just random people I don't get it. Maybe because I've never got anything beyond the usual van shouts,
"Nice legs, what time they open? Hahaha"

happytobemrsg · 08/07/2019 14:51

Monkey if I see someone with a lovely necklace on or shoes or whatever I tend to say something / ask where they got it from. Maybe I’m odd! 😂

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 08/07/2019 15:00

happy it's more likely that I'm odd TBF. Lol

happytobemrsg · 08/07/2019 15:24

😂

RolyWatts · 08/07/2019 20:16

I told a women (stranger) recently that I loved her dress and she looked radiant. It was true. She had an unusual multicoloured striped dress on amongst a sea of jeans and tops. I also really wanted to know where she had got it from so I had a slight ulterior motive 🤣🤣

Gwenhwyfar · 08/07/2019 20:55

I had a dress like that 20 yeas ago. I definitely couldn't wear it now at 42 and not slim (though not at all fat either). You must be in good shape to carry it off.

Lardlizard · 08/07/2019 23:39

Personally i don’t think 40 is old

OP posts:
Lardlizard · 08/07/2019 23:40

Doesn’t look short on me as I’m 5ft 4

Elllllle · 09/07/2019 00:06

Maybe it depends on where you live, but I've both received and given compliments to random strangers without it being creepy! Op that dress with a tan would be a knockout, im sure!

WhosThere · 09/07/2019 10:58

I often give compliments and most people like to receive compliments. It's better than picking faults and being nasty. If anyone thinks I'm being odd then so be it.

Yessers · 09/07/2019 11:03

People would be very upset if I wore that.

lazylinguist · 09/07/2019 11:14

I'm too old and fat to wear that, but it's exactly the kind if thing I'd like to wear if I weren't!

Cookit · 09/07/2019 11:17

Very rarely received compliments from strangers that way (creepy men more frequently unfortunately) but whenever I have it’s really stuck with me and I still remember them years later, making me happy every time I do.

Lardlizard · 09/07/2019 20:27

I think the tan must of helped as I wasn’t wearing any make up except mascara

The bitchiness in this thread is laughable.
