My female colleague told me the other day I'd make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.

What π
Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I'm a "goddess among mortals" for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I'm an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn't seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
This is standard in US-style carrot cakes
Raisins in cinnamon rolls is the true crime

Embrace the joy, Goddess.
Iβm 38, male, chubby, canβt grow a beard for shit.
Raisins are wank. Youβre βa goddess among mortalsβ.
She is correct. You are absolutely divine for excluding raisins, you radiant goddess, you!

Being complimented by the urologist on my shaving for a vasectomy.
As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I "really knew how to live."
Average dutch person
"Whoever did your circumcision did a really good job." :/
Yeah. Let's see the model cock, sir
I need more context π
"You eat rice like Chinese person"
From the lady behind the counter as I was watching some bullshit on my phone and eating mapo tofu

"If your humor was a person I would fuck it"
you did get laid that night, right?
"I'm the vessel, fuck me. It's as close as it gets."
Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.
I had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal. So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was... special.

"You have a beautiful brain" while looking at MRI pictures of my head.
"You have the most beautiful intestines!" And several other similar things as I was checked for cancer.
It's like the saying goes: true beauty is on the inside.
-Omg your dick is huge!
-T-thanks.
That was a good dream.
From my ENT: You've got a very well maintained nose.
Uhm, thanks?
βI can tell youβre not a habitual cocaine userβ
I don't know how weird it is but I've been told a few times that I have a "calming presence". It's a very nice compliment, just don't understand why or how.
This is sometimes what happens when someone grows up around someone who is volatile or unpredictable.
Natural adaptation.
Could that be why?

"You like like a modern interpretation of some Greek god of spice" I had a spig of rosemary tucked behind my ear and a shirt that reads "why so salty"
Nurses tend to like the veins in my left arm so I've had a few comments on that.

Irish people ask me what part of Ireland Iβm from. I must do an amazing Irish accent despite being Scottish and have never visited there. I blame the fact that central Edinburgh doesnβt have a strong Scottish accent and lots of Londoners/Americans study here.
First girl I ever kissed complimented me on my nice looking hands at the teenybopper bar. Weird at the time, took me a couple of decades to realize women look at our hands, think of us touching them.
Compared to pretty much every other response, this is real bland, but I recently had a librarian at the community college I attend tell me something like how my name is a nice name.
It's not a special name in any way, just a run-of-the-mill Biblical name tons of people have. For obvious reasons, I won't tell what it is, but this is the first time I've ever gotten a compliment about my name.
I "chew sexy"....was eating pizza at a girlfriend's house.
What a weird thing for her dad to say.
there was a comment thread where there was something along the lines of "when my roommate peed you could HEAR how his urethra was wider than a normal person" and I don't know how to feel about it
This is disturbing
