I thought this might be an "upper" thread. It'll give people a chance to brag without sounding self-aggrandizing, since, after all, the question has been asked.

That I was down to earth and seem like a really nice guy.

The head of the democratic party in the county legislative body told me I looked buff today.

*edit*
How's that Caslon? Still ambiguously sexual?

*edit #2*
I owe you Caslon.

"What a thoughtful man you are."

I always get compliments on my teeth. People always ask, "have you ever had braces?" or, "Your teeth are so white!"

I've never had braces, and I've never had a cavity in my life.

4 days ago a guy told me I'm hot. I wanted to say the same back but wasn't going to be able to mean it. Instead, I just said thanks and smiled I hate awkward moments like that. Sometimes I think it's a setup. Like they want me to return the compliment even though they know it wouldn't be true. I mean what are you to say to a guy who isn't all that good looking? I'm not going to lie just to make somebody feel special. Their going to hurt even more if they find out you lied.

that im "really handsome" and that i have an awesome personality...

Ha.. i got told i have a ghetto booty and i take that as a compliment since i am 6'05" and its hard for us tall boys to get an ass.

"I can never tell if you're kidding or not."

Aren't you virtuous.

"Thank you. That's very nice of you to say. You've made my day." ...dip your head to side, lower your eyes in a gesture of bashfulness and embarrassment.

Saying that much will give him a compliment and obfuscate the fact that you arent complimenting him on his appearance.

...or you could strike a look of horror and say, "As if" ....oh but this isnt a scene from Mean Girls ....nevermind ....

GobB saidthat im "really handsome" ...

Well, you're never going to hear that on here. ...

Have you ever seen tall skinny people who have nice asses? It;s rare! DAMNIT!!! just agree with me

That I'm sexy when I cum!

That I was a very good and smooth dance partner and a lot of fun since I smile all the time.

I told my H.R. director that I'd been approached to interview for another job. Sweet lady that she is, she said, "Oh, I'm not surprised at all. You're one of the most talented and marketable employees here."

jjdayz saidHave you ever seen tall skinny people who have nice asses? It;s rare! DAMNIT!!! just agree with me

I gotta agree it is damn hard!

A hot guy (at the gay gym I go to) asked my gay personal trainer if I was straight.
Either I am dripping with masculinity or this guy is a dimwit.

"You're a pussy magnet", from a hot, str8 friend of mine.

My manager's response to one of my emails the other day...

"No, thank you! You ROCK!!!"

jprichva said"I can never tell if you're kidding or not."

How is that a compliment?

"you're well on your way"

came from a local fire chief who precepted my paramedic rotation at Ben Taub last night; after I asked for some feedback on my performance.

"You have cool hair." (in my private pics...)

Just wanted to thank Samer08, TallGWMBaller, and Global_Citizen for the compliments. You rock guys!

*bounces off happily*

I'm not totally sure, but a fella keeps saying I have "game"

I believe it to be a good thing, especially coming from him, but alas, it could mean anything.

That I appear to be a pretty interesting easygoing guy, from a pair lesbians in Phoenix =D (((via email)))

"Nice ass." (or hot ass, or great ass, or...)

But I swear, it seems that's the only compliment ever get.

I once had a guy say, "You have a perfect face, except your nose, of course" while on a dinner date. I still have no idea what he meant. There was no second date. Too bad. He had huge hands.

someone said i looked like the male version of linda evangelista. she is so stunning, but is this good?

if not, my friend said i was a good host last night.

After helping an old lady jump start her car in a parking lot and holding her car door so she could get in, she remarked that I was truly one of the most considerate people she had ever met.

I smiled and said thank you and when about my way; honestly who wouldn’t have helped the lady if they had 5 minutes and jumper cables in their trunk? However, the compliment pops in my head every once in a while, especially when I am not about to be considerate and it serves as a sort of checks and balance for me. It made an impact on me for whatever reason.

Like a lot of guys, I still get props when I go places - and I appreciate them - people are generally very nice. I still get the, "Aren't you so and so?" questions sometimes too, mostly from guys - so that's good.

Your too virtuous to understand.

Someone at work said to me "you are more than a pretty face"

References to my butt, my arms and my....telephone pole.

"i love your dick" that was the compliment i got last night

"What! You're an attorney??!! You don't even look like one."

[I was overjoyed]

Someone once told me that I am smarter than I look.

Ugh......

"You are one of the few people making a difference in this town."


From one of the most renowned music engineers on the West Coast*, about the events and concerts I promote in Reno.


*He engineered Dr Dre's "Chronic 2001."

a co-worker told me that I'm extremely smart and asked me why I continue working for our employer... that and a guy at my gym once told me my calves looked like footballs.

You're doing a great job, especially the ladies room. The women are happy with how clean everything is.

I was out and about wearing a short-sleeve shirt and a guy said to me, "Ahh, you have the right to bare arms."

LittleDudeWithMuscles saidI was out and about wearing a short-sleeve shirt and a guy said to me, "Ahh, you have the right to bare arms."

LOL.

Will you be here all week? Should I try the veal?

Strange..twice within the last week or so, two different guys (hot) in different venues told me they recognize me from seeing me around town, and that I am an ICON.

I had to look the word up in the Funk and Wagners dictionary to make sure it was a compliment.

Still not sure.

Aaaaaaaaaaah, thanks littledude, for giving us a thread to brag about ourselves. How nice of you.

Here is a nice little compliment, I got here on RJ a few weeks ago........

Guess whoUm, considering the way YOU look, it MUST take enormous balls to show yours.

Cheers.

To show my face, is what he was on about


His name was Little.............Oh something or other.

When I was getting my flu shot last winter, the nurse was poised to deliver the shot when she looked at my shoulder and stopped.

She said, "Relax your shoulder, please."

Then, before I could answer, she grabbed my shoulder and smiled.

"Oh, that's just your normal muscle tone."

She plunged the needle and I tried not to cry -- with a sly grin on my face.

This is so cliche but someone recently thought I was 24 and was shocked when I said I had just turned 31.

LittleDudeWithMuscles saidI was out and about wearing a short-sleeve shirt and a guy said to me, "Ahh, you have the right to bare arms."

I despise cheesy pick up lines, but damn, that's actually pretty good.

Yeah, I liked it too, thought it was cool

I'm a waiter.. someone came in the other day and didn't have enough cash to cover a pick up order for his whole family, and had no other form of payment. I covered the left over $10 out of my tips. I wasn't thrilled about it.. but it doesn't happen often.

Anyway, the guys parents showed up later that day and gave me a $40 tip. The dad looked right at me and said,

"It's very rare to find someone who would do what you did. People must really appreciate you."

I thanked him and fought the urge to go, "D'AAAAAWWWW YOU'RE SWEET!" lol

" I can't believe you're over 50"

Someone the other day told me that I'm genuinely kind.

That was a huge compliment to me.

My Ex told me I was the kindest man he has ever known.

I get those back handed compliments all the time like, "you look great . . . for your age" or "OMG I can't believe you are over 60!"

that i have "devilish eyes" and that i should play supervillains in movies, and or a villain in a soapopera, of course the typical being told i'm Handsome, have exotic brooding goodlooks, i get called "sexy" alot, blah, blah etc.

"you're one of those guys that can do everything."
(i can't - but it was nice to hear a good friend say that)

you def look good for being over 60

Sound's a bit more Clueless than Mean Girls.
SIGH
and Now I won't get any compliments because I knew that.

Hmm..it has been a while since i've gotten a compliment. Funny how you just don't notice them when you're in a funk.

After a few minutes of chit chat, I was told that I'm actually not as mean as I seemed at first....

RunintheCity saidAfter a few minutes of chit chat, I was told that I'm actually not as mean as I seemed at first....

Well, you're not.

jprichva said[quote][cite]RunintheCity said[/cite]After a few minutes of chit chat, I was told that I'm actually not as mean as I seemed at first....

Thanks. I don't think I seem mean at all, but apparently I have a tendency - according to my friends - to scowl at people when I'm not on familiar turf.

that i totally changed sumones perspective on how they viewed gay guys.

"wow you look good for your age"

um, gee thanks...
I think.

that my ass is the "gold standard" for what asses should look like.

That I just gave her one of her ten best dances this year. I think she's had eleven dances, so I'm not on the bottom.

that i'm a good luck charm in finding parking spots in busy areas of LA and west hollywood

kryptonianadrian saidthat i'm a good luck charm in finding parking spots in busy areas of LA and west hollywood

Yeah, I actually HATE being told that.... why can't they leave out the "for your age" part?

you look hot for ANY age, Tallgwmyballer

I recently got this complement on a Press Ganey Survey. This is a survey done to assess patient satisfaction with hospitals around the country.

"Curtis was great"

"Curtis in CICU was really great. He was always close if I needed him. He deserves something for being so great."

I felt like a good nurse heh...almost thought about asking my boss for a promotion, since I "deserved" something for being so great. Hehe, but thought it wise to not temp fate heh

my favorite....

WOW! You are so hot.... for your age.

That's kinda like saying, for a short guy you look really hung...

"i had to get a dictionary to read your blog about being a gay stripper."

that i look like George Clooney

This was just posted on the Project Breakout web site about me.

"I am a healthy 84 yr old male with 2 aretificial knees. I cannot begin to tell you the enormous difference I have gained in my flexibilty and overall strength. I do David's alignment video as part of my morning routine and I am better able to continue my daily activities with greater ease. ie;climbing ladders in my profession as an electrician. David is a wonderful force for motivation and encouragement and adapting routines to accomodate my knees. "

I feel so blest to have such great people backing me up.

Hows that for a shamless plug...

That I'm a good hugger.

i was told i had the hottest ass in town. 2 days later, i had a flock of women taking pictures of it.

hmmm...

That I looked thinner and glowing from all the working out I've been doing.

a guy who's been giving me the run around a bit watched me dance Sunday and said that he couldn't lie... it was really hot.

I responded with i'm glad he can think my dancing is hot when he's drunk... then he said it's not only when he's drunk that he thinks i'm hot.

uuummm we'll see next time he's sober

I usually get the "I 'love' you" or "you give the best hugs" I've been told my teeth were really white and that I have a great smile. People like my laugh, sense of humor, and my compassion for others.
Then today, my best friends husband opened up to me. that means more to me than anything else. he's very stubborn. lol

My partner called me his hero for looking after him while he had food poisoning.

Nothing shows love more like carry your partners bowl of stomach bile to the toilet for disposal.

The other night I went out to this gay club and I don't know if it was a full moon or what but I got 3 or 4 guys that told me I was the best looking guy there. I got like 4 numbers that night too. I was glowing by the time I left. Such a confidence boost.

I get lots of compliments from my boyfriend about putting up with him and being gentle and cuddly and such.

Latest compliment from someone other than him was that my ass is looking especially good since the workouts. Thanks RealJock.

"You have an awsome body"

From myself " Well...at lest you dont break glass or merriors anymore. Just people retnas."

Today (4th of July) down at the beach, in a crowd of ostensibly straight guys - a 20-something dude yells out to me, "Hey - Body-By-Jake - what up?" Made me smile.

lol that I'm not a loser

I bought beer at the grocery store today and the woman who checked my ID was surprised at my age, commenting she thought I was 30.

"You're really cute.... I'd totally date you!"

From a cute, 20 year old hottie (from this site).

Mighty_Q said"You're really cute.... I'd totally date you!"

dude... you ARE cute.

Had a first dress rehearsal for a production of KING LEAR I'm in in Pennsylvania. Modern dress. I'm playing Cornwall and practically everyone in the cast came up to me at some point this evening and told me (in almost exactly the same words), "You look like a total badass!" VERY unusual for me, since I am totally NOT a badass in real life. Nice to know I could pull it off.

"you love with your eyes"

People tell me all the time that I exude a "positive energy", and I find that the best compliment anyone could give me.

We met up with one of my (Doug) old high school chums and she took us to meet her mother (at my request) to see if I'd be a good fit to spend time with her on a daily basis. Volunteer elder care. (she's 83 and has had two strokes). When we met her I took off my hat, put my heels together, bowed slightly and made good eye contact, smiling while I introduced us.

My friend phoned up later all pleased out of proportion about how much her mother was taken with me and said,
"How the hell did you know to do that?"

... I floated the rest of the night...

That I'm handsome and have a great smile. Was also told the other day that I looked really good in this one tshirt -- that i looked buff. Made me feel great that someone was seeing the results of my working out!

My smile ...personally I don't think it's that great, but alot of people seem to compliment me on it.

"Amazing! You don't look your age!"

I've gotten this from some sincere folks already, and it is very nice to hear! One person pegged me as being 29. Bless him!

"Hey man - you really work hard when you're here in the gym - I've been meaning to tell you that!"

This - from a hot guy who I think works damn hard himself. I complimented him on his own workout routine.


Another recent compliment that I just saw came from my RJ friend here - JPrichva - and I appreciate any observation from Jeff - he is truly a classy, intelligent guy!

That I don't look my age (get that often).

Yesterday, was at a bar and this guy stopped me and said "You know I saw you at the other bar earlier and I must say you are one handsome man with a beautiful face and a beautiful smile and some amazing legs! Just had to tell you that."

This one went wrong on me. At the dentist last week, the lady cleaning my teeth (who my parents have been going to since before I was born, I think) tells me I'm causing a ruckus with the girls in the office, they're all asking about me, etc, and she goes "I'm not trying to embarass you or anything."

"It's ok, I like the attention."

"Oh, you're a flirt!
Just like your father!"

Done. Thank you. Check please.

some guy approached me at the bar the other night and told me that I had hot legs. I just said thanks. How do I respond to that?

danielryan saidsome guy approached me at the bar the other night and told me that I had hot legs. I just said thanks. How do I respond to that?

You/He was supposed to slide into the pickup line: 'They would look even better wrapped around your shoulders'

A secretary at work said, "You look really good in that photo Jonathan". I said "thanks, but that is actually my brother". Oh well.

danielryan saidsome guy approached me at the bar the other night and told me that I had hot legs. I just said thanks. How do I respond to that?

Take off your pants and cool those legs down?

Maybe "Thank you Rod Stewart"?

I was told tonight that I have a very clear and thoughtful way of expressing myself.
