Women reveal the "compliments" men give them that secretly drive them crazy

Sometimes men can be hapless creatures. They may think they're being very complementary to a lady when in fact it can be the worst possible thing to say. The women of Reddit recently answered an AMA about the worst "compliments"they've received. Take heed boys!

Quote:Men who feel the need to point out how big my tits are. A guy that I saw around campus DM'ed me on Instagram and said, "just thought you should know, you have some really big boobs." No shit, they aren't on my chest or anything.

Quote:takes off glasses to clean them "You look pretty without glasses" I appreciate being called pretty but I need my glasses to see.

Quote:I think the best one recently is, "Oh, you don't look like you're Mexican". "You're so pretty for being Mexican". Like what???? Am I supposed to have sombrero and mustache, orrrrrr???

Quote:Any compliment that follows the "you sure are x for a y." Such as, "you sure are pretty for a woman your age." Or "you sure are smart for a girl."

Just bad form all around.

Quote:I've had to explain to friends way too many times why, "You have a pretty face for a fat girl," is, in fact, NOT a compliment.

Quote:"You're hot for an Asian" and "I've always wanted to get with an Asian"

1) didn't know Asians were universally ugly, and that I'm an exception
2) thanks for reducing me to a check mark on your bucketlist

Quote:I work as a cook. I've been told "you're a good cook, you'll be a good wife" three times in 5 years. It's not a compliment.

Quote:Am redhead. Really sick of guys telling me they're "super into redheads" or "I only date redheads." Way to make me feel like that's the only thing that matters about me for you...

Quote:When people call me milk chocolate, African princess, nubian queen. Like calm down

Quote:Just today I was told I had a 'really good sense of humor for a girl, you don't see that a lot lately'

Quote:"You're really pretty for a lesbian."

If you're going to say I'm pretty, say I'm pretty. Don't add the unnecessary qualifier that insults a ton of women (including most of my dating prospects). But I do find this compliment to be a very useful way to figure out who I don't want to talk to at parties.

Quote:I work in customer service and occasionally an older man will say good girl after I finish a sale. In the same tone as you would talk to a dog. It gets my hackles up.

Quote:I was at the ER last year because of intense stomach pain, so I obviously looked upset. Some weird old man walked by me and told me to smile. I literally could not stand up because I was in so much pain. I wish I could've made myself puke on him.
