I’ve received a lot of compliments on my voice in life, Nicknames for it throughout school; i didn’t have a period of voice cracking, literally woke up one day and my voice was different (scared the shit out of my parents that morning).
I hate my voice 🙃
Everyone hates their voice haha just know it sounds different to other people than it does to you.
I feel like I prefer the voice I hear in my head than the voice I hear when I record myself :(
In 1998, the young lady working the cash register at the taco bell near where I worked told me I have really pretty eyes. So I have that going for me, which is nice.
The same thing happened to me, only it was at a Carl’s Jr! Rejoice, for we have pretty eyes! (At least according to 2 random fast-food workers)
I must be a heck of a lot more “attractive,” than I think I am. I’m male, and 44 y/o. I get a random compliment from strangers about once every month or two.
Or it’s the opposite and you’re getting pity compliments. You’re probably a pretty nice guy though, otherwise you wouldn’t get any compliments.
I have had a few people that I don’t remember meeting describe me as “the friendliest guy in IB.”
Irritated bowels?
That sounds like a more accurate description of this town than its real name, lol
Istan Bul?
Not Constantinople,
Well still, if you have a date in Constantinople they’ll be waiting in Istanbul.
You’re practically Pierce Brosnan!
When’s your next movie coming out
Lol, I would never make it as a public figure.
Our very own anonymous movie star. Keep on making the heads turn on your anonymous path
A girl once told me I am not horrific to look at. God that fucked me up lol.
I feel that pain. It’s like that “worst she can do is say no” thing. When I was 12 my friends were joking about who another friend should “date” (ofc in the capacity that 12yos manage that) and someone JOKINGLY suggested me, I even laughed along for a second. Her answer, rather than laughing along or something, was a deadpan “eww”. That fucked my confidence for years
Once a group of us were playing spin the bottle and it landed on me and the girl said eww, he’s like my brother or whatever and then spun again and the guy it landed on got a double bj from her and her friend. I felt sad at the time, especially since we were all camping so we could hear them in the tents. I’m still friends with those girls (now grown women.) Your story reminded me of that and I haven’t thought of it in 20 years.
Shit, I’m sorry. I have had a similar experience at around 7yo that imbalanced my relationships to others for the next 25 years. I’m pulling out of it now by sheer force of will and analysis. Wish you the best,
I’m not saying anything about right or wrong or societies roles, but I don’t even think it’s hyperbole to say my wife has been complimented thousands of times more then I have in our lives. It’s incredibly rare for me to get a compliment from a stranger, and even then it’s usually from other guys saying they like some item I’m wearing. It really does feel fucking incredible when it happens because it’s so insanely rare. And not to toot my own horn too much, but I’m not that bad looking, so I can’t imagine what it’s like for people with less fortune than I have in their appearance.
Same. I still think about the older gentleman who randomly told me my glasses had a cool icon on them. Made me glow for days.
“You smell so nice” - a gay female co-worker. I was wearing a new cologne that I purchased for myself. It was very expensive so I’m glad I chose well
Anon’s tombstone:
“She really liked my voice.”
I could never count the number of times in my life I thought people were laughing with me. They weren’t.
A woman at a house party saw my driver’s license after she asked for proof that I have two middle names and two last names. She saw my photo and said: “your neck doesn’t look anywhere near as long in real life” I knew it was a compliment, and I’ll never forget it.
I think back to a compliment I recieved once. Probably one of my more pleasant memories.
I was working in a hotel kitchen and one of the waitresses told me I was more beautiful when I smiled. That was in like 2012 and I still remember it.
I was told blue looks good on me by a girl.
10 years later, most of my shirts are blue.
I hope she wasn’t colour blind 😬
Turns out she was making a BJ joke and occasionally lies awake cringing at the joke that everyone missed.
Purple for me. Fortunately I like it too.

One time a buddy and I were out drinking and on our way out he ran into a childhood friend. So while they were catching up I was just leaning against a table and listening to their conversation and people watching.
A pretty attractive woman came up to me, looked me dead in the eyes, and said “you’d be more attractive if you had some self-confidence”, and then walked out of the bar.
I think about that every day. Because I have never in my life been told I need “more confidence” (actually, it’s usually the opposite haha).
Maybe she wanted you to approach her, you ignored her “signals” and the only reason that could be, at least from her point of view, was that you lacked confidence.
Yeah I assumed so. It was a few years ago so we probably talked for a bit at the bar (I am not allowed to go get drinks by myself cause I’ll end up talking to strangers for 45 mins haha) but I don’t remember her from any other point in the night.
Idk it was just really strange haha
Aahhh… so, that morse code…??
Shit like that, I’d probably not read too much into it. Some girls just like to fuck with people (people have been trolling before trolling was an internet term). She probably left laughing how she fucked with your head (yeah, some beautiful girls are fucking deeply ugly on the inside, and vice versa)
They’re rare, but they do exist.
I (afab) intentionally give my male friends and coworkers lots of non sexual compliments, and it’s been a mixed bag for people I don’t know well. I genuinely love men’s business wear, so I frequently go for a comment about what they’re wearing (think “I like your shirt” or “that’s a cool pattern,” not “that shirt makes your eyes pop” or “you look sexy in that shirt”), and about a third of the time, they still seem to think I’m coming on to them. Since I got married and wear my wedding ring, that’s down to about a quarter.
non-sexual
“You look sexy in that shirt”
I mean…
That’s an example of a compliment I don’t give. I’m not trying to start something I don’t want to finish and I don’t want to finish anything.
In my defense, I am very drunk and I do look sexy in that shirt thank you very much
You even look sexy without that shirt. Your sexiness is shirt-invariant!
You missed the word “not” there I guess?
I’m not good at reading comprehension.
I agree. Tim Cruise is short.
how is the eyes pop one also in the not category
I try not to compliment men’s physical attributes. Given that around a quarter of them still react like I’m flirting when I compliment the pattern they have on while I’m wearing a wedding ring, I don’t want to go any further, lol. Maybe I should have said non-flirty instead of nonsexual though, because I agree, that’s not a sexual comment.
yeah that makes sense
