I once got told "You are not *that* ugly" ... yeah, cheers, did a wonder for my self-esteem. Not.

A random woman outside a café beside a train station, as I get chased by a wasp: "You smell very sweet and spicy, that's why he's chasing you. Its very nice!" Thank you random lady, 2 years later and I'll never forget.

I was admiringly told by a female anthropology professor in class that I have a “very robust cranium”.

You're prettier than your sister, you can come here and tan yourself in my balcony anytime you want. Naked, please. -The a**hole that my big sister used to date and now was trying to hang out with me. Fun fact: he was old enough to be my father, even my Grand father.

While doing CPR on an inmate, a nurse showed up to relieve me and before doing so said, “ you look like you’re good with your hands. How else do you use them?”

Obligatory not me, but during a high school spring trip to NYC, someone told my classmate (in red top and pants) she looked like a sexy bottle of ketchup. Secondly, while picking up after a city festival around 2 AM a guy came drunk out of a bar and yelled to the group of us "Hey trash girls, you can pick me up." Cheers.

‘You have juicy veins, I’d love to take blood from them’ from a friend who works in pathology.

My wife- "You have a nice shaped skull"

A girl in high school told me I have really pretty knees.

I was told by a random lady walking past me in the mall that I had a really large, bright aura. I looked at her kinda confused and she just said she was gifted that way and to have a nice day and kept walking…

I once had an old Hispanic lady that didn’t speak English who I didn’t know have someone she was with come over to me at a restaurant and ask if she could bless my eyes for me. She said she wanted to bless them so nothing would ever happen to them because she’d never seen anything like them.

From a coworker’s partner (a Japanese woman, speaking English): “You have a big eyelash. I am jealousy!” As a man, I don’t get a lot of eyelash compliments. Edit: This has been an eye-opener (pun intended). It’s also been cool to learn what is marking the lenses of my specs

"you remind me of Kermit the frog. Not in looks, in vibes."

I went to Mexico with a buddy about 10 years ago and we were drinking with a bunch of people. Well another group of people were standing near us and kept looking over and whispering to eachother, staring at us until finally a few of them approached us. The one guy looks at me and says "are your calves real?" I was like ughhhhh yeah.. they're real, he turns to his friends and yells "they're real!" They all proceed to walk over and talk to us. A group of maybe 10 people complimented me on my calves, it was very weird.

Me : Pulls down mask to drink water Girl I work with : “You know most people take there mask down and they look worse you look good though” Me : puzzled look on my face Thank you Girl : Don’t worry I like girls

You smell organic.

‘Despite what everyone says about you, I still think you’re quite fun’

"your mind is like a kaleidoscope"

"I like how you look at me, like you are going to kill me" - my gf at the time. In her defence my resting face does look kinda mean lol

someone called me submissive and breedable in a Tesco's

“Your ears look like tortellini … delicious”

I had a girl tell me she’d like it if I got hit by a car so she could cradle my head and stroke my hair as I died. Edit: wow, this blew up. A few follow-up details: I did not sleep with her - she was dating a friend at the time she said this. She was a cute redhead but very obviously crazy. She ended up banging most of the guys in the group but I had a girlfriend so stayed well out of it.

An older woman said I had nice skin (I'm a dude if it matters.) It came across as a "I'd like to wear it," but then later that evening I realized the party I was invited to was actually a sales pitch to join some pyramid scam to sell skin products. So it was less weird in retrospect, but clearly something had gone wrong.

That I looked like I belonged on a shortbread tin.

My first child had been born a few weeks ago. I came back to work and one of the bosses said, "Oh, congratulations on your....on your news...yeah...good luck with that.":

“I like your little hat” - a girl working the Whole Foods Checkout. I was having a socially awkward day and she was a bit awkward too. I think she found something endearing in how I was being and felt compelled to say something nice to me. It was just a basic wool hat/beanie for winter, not even that little. I still appreciated it and she was kinda cute.

I was late for school and decided not to shower so i could catch my bus in time. I arrive to school say hello to a girl I barely knew, she comes up to me smells my sweaty shirt and says "Dammn you smell really good". Yeah that was a creepy way to start the day.

When I was 17 during my first day of work, said by a female coworker: You're so tall and skinny, you'd look great pregnant.

My eyes were brown like a really nice table

That I’m vertically fat

“You’ve got so much testosterone I could probably get pregnant sitting next to you.”- random girl back in college.

“I wish I didn’t have a cold, because I really want to smell you all over!”

You look like one of them creepy victorian dolls

That I have a very swan-like voice. She didn’t actually know what swans sound like. She was complimenting me on how I said “your coffee will be ready over there” when we were both working at a coffee shop.

Nice earlobes.

“You look you’d be fun to take to Colorado” said the man to me, in a gas station. He liked my choice of beer. I’m just broke and PBR isn’t that bad

In high school, some girls told me I had a cute walk. I had never thought about how I walked before but it really f****d me up for a while-- trying to make I maintained that "cuteness," whatever it was. And realizing that "oh, I could be minding my own business and someone still find me attractive... or unattractive."
