What's the strangest part of your body that has ever been complimented?

My wife often compliments my hands. She finds them attractive which I always thought was an odd choice.

Been told that I have cute toes and a “pretty neck”.

My mom likes to compliment my eyebrows.

Someone asked me, many years ago, who fixed my nose. Was that a compliment or an insult? I am still not sure, since I was born with that nose.

my hands (apparently I have model hands, or piano player hands as Im told) my eyes, eyelashes. The weirdest thing though must be when people compliment me on my jawline and my jaw structure or something.

@desiree333: Not your hair, or something?

My knees. I was told they weren’t bony and seemed to be “just right” – whatever that means.

someone complimented my calves once.

i thought that was weird.

Apparently I have “very delicate nostrils”.

@jmah: I’ve been complimented on my neck too :)

I mostly get the typical nice boobs/eyes/ass/lips, in that order usually.

i had a woman in a class i was teaching tell me she couldn’t focus because she was “staring at my beautiful mouth and lips”.

a tad creepy

My bleach blond arm hair. Pretty odd.

My feet have been complimented before.

My elbows. Dude, they’re elbows.

Look at the back of women’s ankles. Those with indentations on either side are considered gorgeous.

@galicalled what?

@gailcalled; You mean between the Achilles tendon and the knobby bit? Cuz’ I think we all have that, and I can’t imagine where else you might be referring to.

The inner corners of my eyes. In most people the inner corners meet in a clean little point. In my eyes the inners corners are a little bit hooded. One boyfriend used to say my eyes were like a hawk’s in this way.

I once had a benign growth on my face that resembled Richard Gere, I never heard the end of it.

I’ve been told several times that I have long, attractive eyelashes. I’ve even had a woman or two tell me that they wish they had eyelashes like mine. I’ve tried to see the appeal of them but I just can’t. They’re only eyelashes.

My eyelashes and eyebrows. As a man, those aren’t the features that you tend to want to be complemented on, unless you’re metro.

@desiree333 and @Jayne: No, at the rear of the ankle itself. Some women have thick ankles, without the indentations. The antithesis of this

@gailcalled
I.e. nobody likes cankles.

My lips, and like Vinidera7 said, I am not sure how I feel about that as a guy.

I have a dimple on my left cheek. I do not hear the end of it. What’s so cute about an indentation on my face?

I have dimples in my shoulders – my sister and I inherited them from my grandmother. I think that they look a little like bruises, but my husband loves them.

I had a girl once tell me that I had nice balls, which I do take pride in and keep nice ‘n smooth, but never expected to get a compliment on them

@tennesseejac – Do they make a Hallmark Card for that kind of compliment?

Dimples on your cheek are great. They coruscate when you speak.

A single dimpled cheek can be especially fetching because it’s asymmetrical, hence seeming whimsical and even a bit fey.

I have taken a recent inventory and, even using a mirror, I have not identified one strange part of my body. Although, if a strange part appeared and introduced itself, I’d probably ask it to stay. After getting a clinical opinion.

Is one’s sense of humor a body part? Many people have commented on mine.

Thank you for the new vocabulary word, @Jeruba. I had to look up “coruscate.”

@tennesseejac don’t you love it when people take notice of effort you’ve put forth? :)

Been told that nose size equates to penis length. ok, I see it…
And I find a thicker ankle sexy.

The birthmark on my boob – twice. First by a girl on the opposing team during strip beer pong (but that’s okay because she’s my best friend), then a guy told me the same thing while we were doing the deed. I also told another guy that it existed, though he didn’t get to see it, and he mentioned how guys must like that. I’m not sure why, it’s just a birthmark.

Well, I could lie and say my penis.
I was once told I had a very “manly” forehead. I don’t know what the f**k she’d been smoking.

Well it’s not an odd part, but a girl once complemented my eyes and asked me where I had gotten them. I just gave her a funny look and she corrected herself.

My legs.

I’m a dude… And they’re hairy…

@AC – I can see it now. I’m going to walking around, “Is that a manly forehead? Is that a manly forehead?” Great, one more thing for me to look at…I’m doomed.

Manly Forehead. Wasn’t he a porn actor back in the ‘80’s?

@steelmarket I think he was the construction worker in the Village People.

No. That was Fanny Morehead, porn actress.

My boyfriend says I have “cute little thumbs.” Of course, he has huge thumbs (to be expected, he’s a big guy) so next to them my thumbs look positively minuscule.

I have the smallest dimple on one of my cheeks. Well, actually more like on the bottom side of my lip. Idk but it’s weird.

My boyfriend has been complimenting my freckles lately, which is awesome, because I looove my freckles but they rarely get complimented.

my wrist and knuckle hairs…
and my nipple hair. i dont have a hairy torso… just on my nipples… its like i have afros on my chest…

@Kiev749, lurve for Afros.

its horrible. i keep shaving them because i’m really afraid of waxing them…

@tiffyandthewall – I would totally compliment women’s calves, except that I know they would take it strangely, so I don’t. I love women’s calves. They’re one of my favorite body parts.

@Jeruba – my aunt used to call the eyelid thing you were mentioning, “Icelandic eye flaps” and she was extremely proud of hers.

As for mine, both of my parents are slightly obsessed with my dimple in my chin. My mom swears that everyone in my dad’s family has them (which isn’t even true, she just only notices when family members do, not when they don’t), and that as soon as I was born, that was the first thing my dad said about me: “She has my dimple”.

@La_chica_gomela, I have never heard them called anything! Thank you. (Alas, no results in Google, though.)

When my son was born, the first thing I said was, “He has my dad’s dimple” (in the chin). Newborn babies don’t look like much. That was his only distinctive feature at the time. Even his hair was invisible.

My feet, which are long (size 9 1/2 or 10) but delicate at the same time. My collar bones. While lying down on a bed, two different men have remarked that my entire backside “looks like a painting.”

Women have envied my body hair, which is so blonde it’s invisible.

Wow, @Aug, can we see a picture of your entire backside? Or maybe a painting of it?

Is this the painting?

Neither of them ever said what painting, just a ‘classic’ painting. Which I took to mean that I am curvier than I’d like ;)

My shoulders. I always thought they were too broad for my body, but apparently someone thinks they’re my best feature… Not actually sure if that’s a compliment :-S

what’s a compliment?

My eyelashes. Weird… being a guy I thought it was kinda gay to get such a compliment.. but whatever.. my wife apparently likes them…

A couple decades back I had long hair and pinned the front back a lot, and a male co-worker told me that I had the cutest ears.

The compliment that really struck me as odd was the first time my most recent beau and I took a shower together, and he said, “You even look good wet!” which reinforced my decisions to be low-maintenance in the hair and makeup department.

@Allie It’s a birthmark on the boob for me too. It’s kind of like a little billboard for the boob I guess. :)

This is really embarrassing for me (so I don’t know why I’m doing it), but there once was a woman who said my penis (while ready for service) was beautiful. That did wonders for me, since up until then, I was certain there was nothing notable about it. I have looked at it totally differently since. You never know the impact a compliment can have.

Hey augustlan, nice A ;)

My voice gets complements all the time. And my dimples (my chin and cheek).

Yeah? Well, my forehead can kick your dimples’ ass!

Maybe. I’m a lover, not a fighter! BTW, I thought Fanny Morehead was the one who played Samantha’s mother on “Betwitched”? :)

My eyebrows, eyelashes and my nose are the weirdest I’ve been complimented on.

you have an amazing cheek structure
You know you have awesome cheeks don’t even lie

what the fuck?! I ran to fluther when they told me this ha

You know what, AC? Your forhead, my dimple, After work at the post office. This is going down today!

My eyes. But I do not like them.

@90s_kid: But see, that’s not a strange part to be complimented on. Now maybe if you were missing one…

@TitsMcGhee but, see he has a glass eye. One in each socket.

@Bri_L 90s_kid is our little sandy duncan! awww….

heheh. Part Sandy duncan part Sammy Davis Jr. man.

and part Rex Harrison and part Peter Falk.

good ol’ 4 eyes 90’s_kid.

Don’t be mean to 90’s_kid. Or he will let us know that he is only fourteen.

90’s_kid is the dope! We “kid” because we love.

Whew.

mockery

I was told by a woman I just met today that I have beautiful coloring… referring to my hair, eyes and skin tone. I immediately thought of this post!

This friend of mine says he often can’t focus on what I am saying because I emphasize things with my lips. He thinks they are beautiful, and my ankles. I thought the ankles was weird.

I once asked my ex if she thought I’m handsome. Her answer: “You have a very good head” :-)

My teeth. An art teacher in high school is also a friend told me some years later of a recurring dream he had about my teeth. They were once very straight, white and pointy in three spots that fascinated him.

@hungryhungryhortence: My dentist and hygentist always get really worked up about my teeth, too. (I guess that’s not that uncommon, a art teacher! lol!) but I do love how they go on and on about how perfect they are.

@La_chica_gomela: MY dentist complimented me on my gums on Wednesday, when I was having a crown replaced. ( I could have bought a small used car for what that cost.)

@gailcalled: So, did the compliment make it seem worth the price?

The dentist could have told me I was Queen of the Universe, and it still would have been very expensive. However, I got a lovely crown that should last forever if I remember to floss every hour.

lol

That reminds me- my teeth were complimented by a patient once, while I asked about her history and why she came for the visit, she said, “you have such nice teeth… they’re so smooth and shiny.” I had never thought about those things before.

I’ve just remembered something even stranger than the inner corners of my eyes. This compliment was paid to my bladder.

My husband and I were spending the evening with some friends and another couple we had just met. Some while after dinner, the wife of the other couple passed behind me as she was leaving the room, leaned down close to my shoulder, and whispered, “You have an amazing bladder.”

My first reaction was shock: what, does it show??

My astonishment must have been evident on my face because when she came back she added, “You are the only person in this room who has not yet excused themself to go to the bathroom. I’ve gone twice already”

I never imagined anyone would be keeping track.

Her name was Johnnie, and she was wearing a black lace dress, and that is what I remember about her.

@Jeruba: Perhaps she was really having several rendez-vous with Frankie?

Frankie was in the living room swilling wine whenever she went out, so I don’t think that was it. (I refrained from making a Frankie remark all evening, figuring they must hear it all the time. Besides, wasn’t Frankie the woman? It was tempting, though.)

Frankie was indeed the woman. You have better self-control than I (In many areas). Can you image have the name “Lulu,” speaking of temptation? (Or Lydia?)

Temptation? Lolita, FTW!

@augustlan: I was talking about silly songs like “Lydia the Tattooed Lady” and “Don’t bring Lulu.” Is there a song about Lolita? I know about “What Lola Wants, Lola Gets.”

I was complimented on my ‘range of expression’. Like, the way I respond to things is, I guess, more expressive than most people? I cracked a lot of people up on that trip.

My eyes. The eyes may not be a strange part of a person’s body to be complimented on, but in my case I suppose, they are, because of the fact that I’m Asian (Chinese/Japanese) and most Asian eyes have that “double fold” which make them look “slanted”——you know, the stereotypical “slitty eyes”. My eyes lack that fold, and are not slanted, and I sometimes get comments from total strangers who tell me weirdly “You don’t LOOK Oriental….I mean, your eyes aren’t like most Orientals!” I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Sigh!! Lol.

@MRSHINYSHOES: Officially known as the epicanthic fold.
