One time a girl in a bar just walked up to me and asked if I wanted to make out. Of course, it happened after I was well into a relationship with the person who is now my wife, so I had to turn her down, but it felt amazing.

in the psych ward because verbal abuse from my mom bc I'm trans (among other reasons),

"woah how that XXX left, there's only girls here!"

It's the sweetest thing anybody other than my sister has told me

I'm an ugly woman and I remember getting a compliment from someone at dunkin. It was another woman, but she said I looked pretty. I think to this day she's the only person who has complimented me that wasn't a friend or something. 😅

I've had plenty of men yell out "huge bitch" and what have you though. 🤷🏿‍♀️

I don't imagine they were quoting Deuce Bigalow?

Some of them definitely were. They said it with the inflection and everything. 😂

"If I wasn't a lesbian, I'd 100% date you"

Normally, I'd write this off as someone "letting me down easy", but this was my best friend in High school that I knew for years, so I know the sentiment was genuine.

I give my man compliments all the time. He calls me silly and pretends he doesn't care, but I think it is working. Have been running a semi-non stop compliment campaign since Covid where I tell him how beautiful his hair is in the hopes he will cut it less. It's been a good while since he last came home looking like a sheep after shearing. Summer is approaching, though, so I'm bracing myself for him getting the idea to visit the barber and have him mutilate those beautiful locks of his. It should be crime, honestly.

It's such a cruel thing that compliments from partners don't feel the same as compliments from strangers. My wife has been telling me parts of my body are attractive for agres, but I didn't really internalize it until I heard it from others as well.

It's the same phenomena as when your parents try to give you good advice but you will only listen to it if it comes from the mouths of "outsiders".

Example: my boyfriend tried to get me into Tool for ages and I was very indifferent to it. Then my closest colleague starts playing Tool at work and I'm like "omg this music is awesome" and I go home and tell my bf about this amazing new band I have gotten into and he just gets so offended like "I literally tried to get you into it for years wtf". We laugh about it sometimes.

"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

You deserve a blowjob.

That's kept me floating for years.

It's the thought that counts.

It's the throat that counts

Everytime the cashier flips the tablet over before a tip, they say a compliment. I always tip more than I usually do.

They got you good

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.
