Insult of Complement

Some one just told me that I dress very well for a chubby person, how should I take that as a complement or insult…!

 

[lunar jim]

Hmm, if someone said to me 'you dress well for a fat bloke', they'd be nursing a black eye... I'd definately see it as an insult.

 

[Gemma]

Hmmm seems a bit of a back handed compliment to me

 

[Chlo]

I think .... CHEEK.

There's a complement in there somewhere, but rudely delivered. I hope you thought of a witty comeback.

 

[eyeontheprize]

punch them!

i suspect they meant to be nice but it came out wrong!! Like when a friend of mine (size 8) started a sentence with 'if i was big like you...' ta mate!!
some people just dont engage brain before mouth

Chubby person?! Good grief!!

I probably might have decked them... honestly.

You should have said, '...and you make yourself look remarkably good for an ugly person!"

(You are on a diet, what they going to do about being ugly?)

Insult!!! I'd have replied to them "how funny, we're kind of like opposites because you dress awfully for some one so slim"

A few weeks ago my daughter was upset , she is 9, a boy at school said she was fat (she is bigger than average having me as a mum and a 6 foot 4 dad) but isn't fat by any means, anyways I was going to down the route of just ignore him, but I was wicked as he had called her in the past.....so next time he said it she said 'so what, I may be fat but you have more rolls than Greggs'!
I am such a bad mother !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[eyeontheprize]

LOL my mum used to give me quips for when people insulted me too, your not a bad mum!

 

[kellymundy]

I think she needs to check her brain mouth filter it's obviously on the blink hun!

Thanks, i failed to mention the person that made the comment is actually a lot bigger then me - ha ha, dont you worry there was sarcasm in my response

 

[Caz]

[curlywurly1234]

I know how you feel!! A young slimmer work friend was slagging off what a larger lady was wearing and finished with

"oh no disrespect to fat people, billie, I think you dress really well for yr size, & you have a really pretty face, so thats ok"

ummm, thanks mate, thats a really back handed compliment or what.
