BTW not tryna humble brage, just wondering why I always I feel like I look dyel, but I do get a lot of compliments on my physique despite that; part of it might be few "lifters" in my city are doing bro splits.

Was taking courses as a gartner some years ago. One day we had to disassemble a chainsaw. One part had to be pulled off, and it was really tough for the guy in my group. He handed it to me and said: "You do it, you have more muscles than me". The people next to us cringed.
I have always wanted to become a tampon. My dream is to be inserted into a woman's chamber of love and absorb her lady juices.

It's always weird to get public compliments. Especially when others hear it and start looking.

Some dude said my eyes were as deep and brown as a pint of beer.

Another said he'd never met anyone like me and then proceeded to cry. O_O

A woman wanted to take a picture with me because she'd read an article on how much weight I'd lost and then proceeded to touch my arms to feel the muscles. O_o

Link to article?



Old dude in a public restroom told me "you won't have a stream like that when you're 60." Dunno if it was meant to be a compliment but was bizarre for sure. Context was: line in the men's room, had to piss in a toilet vs urinal, apparently the stream was noticeably loud.

@DualBandWifi You show them your butt or something (I'm guessing this is a reference your avi.

@MuzzieChik786 i heard a couple of my female coworkers comparing each other thighs (a lot of people in my workplace like to exercise), according to porn movie logic they should've started doing it right then and there. That and some men try very hard to say profound things to women, it just makes us feel like "you understand how we feel deep down inside"; some of those men truly are dying inside because they're attracted to the girl but most just wanna smash. I told a lot of my coworkers that I thought they were cute/adorable, they said thanks but I told one she's really pretty and I got a written and verbal warning by my store's manager.

Life's funny like that.

Years ago a local newspaper did an article on me/female bodybuilding. After it came out random people would constantly stop when I was out asking me if I was the girl in the paper? The weirdest part was my husband went to work one night and saw my pictures from the paper hanging in random inmate cells. He works at a prison.

I think where I screwed up was calling her really pretty. I should've told her she was gorgeous; I under-credited her in an effort to be gradual, this was the one case where I should've gone all out.

Asked a guy for spot on bench the other day. Wanted to see how many 225s i could get. He asked what my max was and he guessed 405. Was later doing pause reps and almost had to dump 225. So he probably thinks less now.

I played in a flag football league last year. For my jersey I got the name 'ExtraBigAssTaco'. One day before a game, I stopped at gas station to get a Gatorade. This big black lady was walking out behind me and said "oh damn, does that Taco come with sour cream baby, mmm mmm Mmmmm"

Also, was at lunch with my wife and a fly was buzzing around my head, I was swiping at it and the waitress came up and asked if I was trying to get her attention, then told me she loved my shirt.
I have become death.

"Thank you for your service" no matter how many times you hear it, it never gets less weird. Responding with "thank you for your support" does not make it feel any less cringe.

I get a lot of "if you lose any more weight, you'll disappear" at work. Which isn't really a compliment, but people seem to think it is.
