What’s the point in irrelevant compliments?
Maybe this isn’t a common experience for everyone, but it is for me and I find it incredibly annoying.
I often get messages/comments complimenting me on things I don’t even really have to compliment. The most common is when guys will tell me that I have “big boobs.” Not only do I not have any photos that really display my chest, but... I just don’t have that. I realize they’re not big, that’s okay - I’m just a small person. So why guys tell me that they’re big is beyond me - and it’s certainly not a good compliment.
Recently I had a guy message me and ask if I “work out like constantly” even though, again, none of my photos imply that I’m super fit.
I also get guys who ask me if I model - as if that’s some achievement. Even though I have no professional photos - they’re all selfies from my iPhone and that’s pretty obvious.
Sorry for the long post, this is just one of those things that I don’t get. Why compliment someone on something that’s not even relevant to them? Is it just a shot in the dark - trying to say anything “nice” in hopes to get their attention? If you have brown eyes and someone tells you your blue eyes are pretty.. how is that a compliment?
Maybe I’m just getting confused by something that has no logic to begin with. Still, it’s a weird thing that happens to me often. Just felt like venting about it.
