Incidentally, women of Reddit have been recentlysharingall the dumb stuff men complimented without realizing it’s not a compliment, but rather an offensive statement.

Probably the most disgusting would be stuff similar to “i can’t wait until you’re legal”.
So, a Redditor asked ladies of Reddit tosharethings that were absolutely offensive to them despite the guy genuinely (seemingly) thinking it’s a compliment. Otherwise they wouldn’t have said it, right?
I didn’t know he was behind me until I heard him next to my ear. “You smell so good I could kidnap you.” The tone froze my blood. He was a truck driver and older than dirt. I hope he drove off a cliff into a frozen lake.
When I was 14 I sat at a bus stop, a man sat down next to me and said “you know, I’m 68 now but I’m still into young pretty girls like you”.Made the hair at the back of my neck stand up and I immediately took off. Since then I could never view an old man as just a cute grandpa.
If we were to consider this from a psychological perspective, there arethree kinds of people: those who think before they speak, those who speak before they think, and those who can do both at an equal speed.The rarest breed of folks is definitely that last one, and you might not have met any such individual, but they exist, rest assured.

I will literally never forget it:“You’re not conventionally like, a hot girl. But you’re still like, pretty. Which is so much better.“The sprint I spranted.
“You look less fat today”.
Not me but I heard a colleague say “I bet you were a stunner when you were younger” to our COO at a staff party.I knew he meant it as a compliment but ouch…..
It all boils down to how one’s brain and tongue are wired.Human natureexpert Andrea Kihlstedt exemplified this with her husband. He’s athinker before a talker—so much so, in fact, that sometimes whenever Andrea engages him in a conversation and asks him a question, he takes so much time to come back with an answer that she thinks he might not have heard her.
That he wishes he could fuse my head on my best friend’s body. I’m more conventionally attractive, but she’s petite and I’m sturdier, like my strong fisherman ancestors lol. Dude genuinely thought he was complimenting us both. 🤣.
A bloke came up to my wife and said” you’re too pretty to be in a wheelchair”.
One time a cab driver told me I looked “kidnapable”.
Well, he did—he was just considering his words before answering carefully. Thoroughly.Conversely, Andrea also has a friend who speaks before she thinks. Sometimes her speech gets so fast that she begins answering a question that her brain registered halfway through the conversation, but that wasn’t the actual one.

Not a woman but recently heard a guy (customer) say to a woman (clerk) “You’re so pretty if knew where you lived I’d totally watch you with my drone”.
A customer saw me sweeping the floor. Looked at me with hungry wolf eyes, nearly salivating, and said “You’re sure gonna make a great wife one day”.P R I C K.
Those sound like two extremes, but they signify one’s thinking patterns and the way theirbrainprocesses information. The easier approach to this is to adapt to it. By that, she means that you can train yourself not to jump in immediately with your response to a response. Which, when you think about it, is a good thing—patience, and not cutting off someone mid-way.
‘You’re pretty! For an Indian’ 💀.
“I feel like we are already in a relationship but if you promise to lose weight we can make it official”.
Some people process their thoughts as they speak while others need to think what to say before they say it. And understanding that in yourself will help you identify the same thing in others.Ask yourself, do you respond quickly while your mind is still thinking about it? Or do you wait to muster a thought and then execute it with your noise-hole?

“You have horse legs”(Guy intended to compliment my leg musculature but instead left me envisioning myself as a literal centaur).
“I’ve always wanted to have sex with a black woman”.
The rule of thumb, however, is to always try tothink before you speak. While the other approach is definitely an option—you need to hear yourself think and whatnot—but not everyone is ready to hear your wild thoughts. The world is ripe with people looking to misinterpret and misunderstand things. So, train yourself to think first, and speak later. We’ll wait.
“just so you know I really like brown women, I can handle the heat” - some random dudeLike what are you even talking about ☠️ go home ☠️.
For a girl, you really seem to understand Science.
“It’s pretty impressive how hard you’re working to become a philosopher when youre pretty enough to just go find some rich guy and live off him for the rest of your life.”.
It helps to evaluate your answer in terms of whether what you’re about to say is true, helpful, important, necessary and kind. Incidentally, that spellsthink. You’re welcome.But it is true—telling someone lies might hurt them, let alone ruin your reputation. Telling someone something helpful will actually bring good to them.

“You’re too pretty to be in pain” … Thanks pal I’ll put in a complaint for incorrect punishment.
I was talking about dieting with a coworker and he said “don’t lose any weight, girls your size are the most fun to eat out” 🤢.

Same goes for whether it’s important and necessary—especially in this day and age where we filter out the information based on how important and necessary it is to us.If a person speaks the opposite, however, that will immediately put you on that Reddit list as someone who is hateful, hurtful or plain old dumb.

“Your eyes are pretty and big for an Asian”.
Not a woman and didn’t happen to me but i witnessed it. Guy and girl giving it big licks on the dance floor for a few songs. After they were finished he said “You don’t sweat much for a fat burd”…….that has been seared in my memory for the best part of fifteen years. Still gobsmacked when i think about it.
So, what are your thoughts on any of this? Ever got an inappropriate compliment that could make this list? Share them in the comment section below!
I got a new sports car last year & when a man saw it he asked if my husband let me drive his car. My husband drives a truck.
“You’d be so pretty with makeup on.”.
In my defense I was trying to flirt with her ok lolI once told my crush while we were flirting that “I feel like I lose a braincell talking to you” but what I meant was that I can be myself around her and I’m usually pretty smart but for some reason when I talk to her I don’t think things over I just go for it but noooo my brain was like f**k it we ball with that sentence lol.
“If you had a d**k, you’d be perfect” Sir… what?
“Youre too pretty to do that” (cutting) (Emt)“I dont think youre depressed I think youre just a cute fun girl” (guy who wanted to date me).
“you’re beautiful on the inside”.
“I had a great time with you tonight even tho I didn’t get to have sex. “.
I won an award at work. At the time I was a supervisor of my department and had 5 people reporting to me. One of the VP’s told me it was nice to see the ‘little people’ get recognized.
That 90 percent of men “would” sleep with me.
I see you drinking 1%. Is that cause you think you’re fat? Because you’re not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.
