You Throw Good, FOR A GIRL!
What's the most annoying backhanded complement you've received?
There's a difference between a backhanded complement and constructive criticism, Phil.
"Adam, you'd be the perfect boyfriend if you were christian like me!"
Well I really never liked the:
"Wow you clean up well"
As if to say I walk around all day dirty or I don't know how to dress. I dress all different ways. I have my work persona, my weekend persona, and my night persona.
Someone once told me "You look like your from Europe." I'm not really sure if that was a compliment or not really... just confused.

I get this one a lot too. And I feel the same way about having different styles for different occasions.
Anyway last night I was dreaming I was throwing like I guess a girl. My arm was injured and I couldn't throw.
Best back handed compliment:
"Hey Jaz, I used to think you were a bitch but you're pretty cool."
I've gotten many others that were similar to this one.
lol... I just remembered one I think that could qualify.
An old friend once told me this:
"When I met you I was really scared of you, but now that I know your actually nice your not that bad."
and
"When I first met you I though you were really cool, but then I found out your just a dork like me".
WTF?

I've gotten so many I can't remember any at all right now. 
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
Yes! I always get that "I figured you'd be a bitch, but you're pretty nice actually". I guess I don't consider that too much of a put down, but sometimes the way people say it can be way offensive.
Yeah I wasn't to offended and laughed my ass off but it just goes to show that people don't take the time to get to know you before they make an assumption of who you really are.
"You look really good today."
Tru dat, Jazzy.
"Your hair! It's... short!"
"You're really a virgin!?"
"Did you get any sleep last night?" -A nice way of telling me I look like shit. Followed by "You look like shit" That's my old Italian boss for ya.
I liked when I would tell people I was a virgin (at like 14 or 15) and they would say "Oh, I'm sorry".
What? What?
I've heard, "Wait, you don't have sex? I thought you'd have a lot of it because you're pretty."
That was only one time, but still. What a nonchalant way to call someone a whore.
Stuff along the lines of, "You're really pretty for a bigger girl." Any variation you choose.
There is hope, but not for us.

I've dated girls that have said similar things to me. Basically calling me a whore.
We just need to be careful, because you... I mean, you're a good looking guy... And...
Really? So you think I've been with shitloads of women? So I'm basically a man-whore?
No, I didn't mean that, it's just... Never mind...
god people are horrible.
I always love "You'd make a great man." I'm still not sure what it means, but it's a back-handed compliment of some kind.
Or any time someone uses the word "interesting" when it's clear that's the only semi-positive response they can muster.
This one's not a compliment, but it's somewhat annoying when I don't wear makeup (I wear very little as it is) and people say, "Are you tired? You look tired."

I hate that! Whenever I'm not wearing makeup and someone says "Are you tired?" or "Are you sick?" I instantly regret not spending an hour trying to look good. People are bastards.

That's why I don't waste my time on a daily basis trying to look good. Because people already tell me when I don't sleep well that I look like shit. I can't give them more reasons to tell me I look like shit just because I didn't feel like spending my morning putting make up on.
I had someone ask me once what I read books for.
He didn't really mean it as an insult, and I didn't take it as one, so maybe this doesn't go here.
Anyways, after telling him I read non-fiction to learn stuff and I read fiction for the long drawn-out thrill of it all. Trying to explain to him how books can go and do things that movies and games or whathaveyou just can't. Then I told him how it was actually a lot cheaper for the money spent versus time spent enjoying it.
The only thnig he wanted to know after that was "So, do you like close your eyes and imagine you're there when stuff is going on?"
I once told a girl that she was everything I thought I never wanted in a girl.
Wow way to make a girl feel special. hahaha.

Aww Jaz, I don't care what others may say about you, you're awesome.
I see what you did there!

Aww Jaz, I don't care what others may say about you, you're awesome.
HAhaahaha! Great so now people are talking about me! But I am awesome either way
"Wow, you've lost weight!"
Did you drive it home with "...now I know for sure."
...just lurking.
Is that why you're always single?
"Wow, you look... good!"
Eh fuck you.

My aunt was telling both of my sisters how good they looked and going on about how skinny they were and she looked and me and said, "You look really good too, Chenoa."

In the context, the "I thought" makes her spend moments trying to decipher that it is a compliment. Besides saying stuff like this is better than saying stuff that gets me compliments worse than backhanded compliments: soulless compliments. I can't stand compliments such as "aww, you're so sweet." It is the equivilant of being in front of a queen and she saying, "You're dismissed."

Huh?
That's like this time I met this girl who stated how she didn't have a boyfriend and I responded like, "No way! You'd think you'd have lots of them because you're so beautiful!" And at first I thought I just accidentally called her a whore but nope, we hung out later and had a wonderful evening. And she wasn't even a whore, in fact, she was quite an elegant upstanding woman.
"You're hot."
I hate when people tell me this! It's like why not beautiful?!
"You're beautiful."
Why beautiful?! The fuck does that mean? Is he comparing me to some plastic bag flowing in the wind like in that one scene from American Beauty?! Why not hot?!
"You've got good sensitivity for a guy."
The fuck? Bitches be sexist cunts!
"Girl, I love you so much I'm just gonna hit it and quit it cause I know I'll break your heart."
"You can really eat, for a skinny boy!"
Whoa! You've spit out just enough food to muster that comment and have it be audible enough! Though it otta be, with those subwhoofer jowls and all.
"Aww, it's cute."
"Bitch, you're nuts."
That's right, nigga. I am a bitch but why I gotta be nutty fo'!?

Minerva what kind of guys are you hanging out with?
I like to use the word "gorgeous". Is that ok?

I love the word gorgeous.
Reminds me of that great Jaguar advert with Willem Defoe's voice .
"Gorgeous could never be ordinary, even if it tried"
"You're really pretty. Now. God I look back at the beginning of the year, and you're so much more attractive!"
You're a brighter little soul than all of the jaded people here. Never take them seriously. NEVER.
Wowowow!
On something I posted up there earlier... what exactly does "you look like your from Europe." Or "you look like your from England" supposed to freakin mean? I've gotten that a few times. Maybe cause I just look really Irish or something.

"You speak English really well." Hmmm, I have been speaking it since I was two..
I had a rich 50 year old guy ask me out when I was 20 with this "If I took you to dinner would you have something decent to wear?".
I still love you, son, even though your blowjobs ain't all that grand.
thanks for sharing.blackhawk tactical pants.
