Women share the worst compliments they've ever received

1. Too gracious …

"I don't like women with short hair, but you are pretty."

2. Interesting logic

"You're way too cute to be single. I'm sure you're crazy."

3. Very bad aftertaste …

"'You are a beautiful black woman.' Why can't I just be a beautiful woman? Why do I have to comment on my skin color? "

4. Batsch!

"Your hair looks great today! Why don't you always wear it like this?"

5. Totally wrong

"'You have that magical pregnancy glow.' The punch line: I wasn't pregnant. "

6. Surely an expert …

"An ex once said to me that I had the body of a porn star, but my face wasn't pretty enough."

7. Hell, no!

"'You'd be a straight ten without your piercings and procedures.' As if I had asked your opinion … "

8.Monster-in-law …

"My sister's mother-in-law told me that I was finally as pretty as my sister. What do you reply to something like that? Totally wrong."

9. Lady, you're right!

"'You would be so beautiful if you took something off.' I'm curvy. Accept or leave it. "

10. So so.

"'You may not be the most interesting person, but you do your job and I thank you for that.' My ignorant boss. "

11. Just no !!

"You're pretty smart for a black woman. You don't even speak like a black woman."

12. Ouch

"'You look good for your age.' You don't say that to a woman. You don't say that to anyone. "

13. Jeez!

"An idiot once told me that he could see that I was losing weight because my breasts were getting smaller. WTF ?!"

14. OMG

"Your legs are so beautiful, what happened to the rest?"

15.Men …

"Someone told me I looked better with makeup than without. Of course it was a man."
