Compliments that can also be insults
Holly CatMay 06, 24
Did you ever give or receive a compliment and realise it's also an insult? What are some you've heard? Why can't we just give each other a compliment without ruining it. Here are a few common ones:
You look good for your age.
You're just my type, I prefer someone with meat on their bones.
You're pretty smart for a woman.
You're a good cook for a man.
Or perhaps these are insults that can also be compliments! How do you respond? Do you just take it as a compliment, say thank you and move on? Or do you confront the person about their compliment being an insult?
