People at my job and some random others in the past tell me I should have been a lawyer. The problem is, I’m not sure I should take it as a compliment.

We’ve all had compliments but it feels pretty funny and wrong to list them, personally. I suppose it is better than dwelling on the insults though, which is far more prevalent.

The thing I wonder is, do the compliments help as much as the insults? I think in my life that criticism has fueled me far more than compliments. I guess criticisms hold you back as far as you let them, and it is quite something to overcome.

I think I’ve come to discover the only compliments that matter, are the ones that I earn, and finally give to myself.[/quote]

I find it interesting the dynamics of how people see you, versus how we see ourselves, and how the two can be so different.

However, when I compliment someone, there’s nothing more frustrating when someone doesn’t believe that i’m being sincere, or doesn’t believe it themselves and discounts what i’m saying. Whether or not you believe what they’re saying, take it for what it is, a positive comment.

While I do like compliments, criticisms can be motivating, also. It all depends on who it comes from. If I get a compliment from sombody that I love and respect, it feels pretty damn good. While I may not agree with how they view me, it’s cool that see me like they do. It still means a lot.

MCT, do you like to be complimented, or can you live without it, even from the people that matter to you?

I’m coming off a broken rib last year and i didnt do anything for about a year because of that, and gained 40lbs and had no muscle on me, so after 3 months at the gym yesterday the guy who was towing my worthless car that broke down said i look like i lift. was nice…

Yikes, I didn’t mean it to sound like I’m one of those dismissers of compliments lol I suppose I like it as much as the next person really. It’s just when it came to typing one out in black and white, it just felt…weird?

Okay, Okay twist my arm! It feels good after I sing a song when people say it was moving and that I sing well. I also like it when I’m told I write good poetry.

blushes and runs

Seeing people’s reactions when you tell them you used to be fat never gets old.

I’ve got a long way to go to be where I want, but I’m looking forward to it.

I was a fat little kid. People are always complaining how they are fat and can never do anything. I tell them I was fat, but they never believe me. :frowning:

Dude, do you have any progress pics? You’re my age, weight, and probably the same BF percentage. I only have pics up from when I was 145ish. I’m gonna get to taking more when I hit 190 probably.[/quote]

Not really. It is football season though, so my training is now all maintenance, but I will probably put up pics after the season ends, and then start putting up the progress.

Wait, so you like compliments?

Your avatar makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

I’d rather receive criticisms, during primary and most of high school i never got any compliments on the way I look, so when someone gives me a compliment now I just feel uneasy and am unsure of how to react.

When someone gives me a criticism i.e your fat or got chicken legs i usually look in the mirror and go do something about it.

A guy at my gym plays music at a big waterfront bar on weekends. I went there to watch the U of F game and saw him playing. As I walked by, he announced, “there goes my freind from the gym. She can squat more than me”. Mind you, he is a little guy so it’s not the major feat one might think, but all eyes turned to watch me walk past.

Ok I love this one, its so funny.
Me and a bunch of mates were catching up on Australia day having some beers at the beach. Two girls we knew came over and one of the said something like “wow, your chest is huge, we saw it from the other side of the beach” which I was pretty stoked about.
then later that day me and my friend were chatting with the other girl, and he was realy flirting his ass off, and when he was talking she said “sorry wat was that?, I got distracted cause all I can see is josh’s chest reflected in your sunglasses” hahaha he was cut.
He ended up hooking up with her a cpl of weeks later tho, so good for him.

My all time favorite compliment, although it doesnt have anything to do with the way I look:
Doyley your a fucking animal!
from one of the hard old bastards from my rugby team after a realy hard game of rugby when I first started playing for the club.

Oh actually I can’t believe I forgot this one. It’s unrelated to lifting/muscles/physique but whatever:

“He’s cute even though he’s Asian”

I’m not sure whether to be offended or not, but she was drunk so meh.

I’d be offended.

“He’s hot even though he’s black/white/asian.” You should’ve cum in her hair.

Bringing this thread back from the dead because I got a really weird new one today.A guy talking about my neck: “I wouldn’t say neck so much as roll cage”. Hahahaha!

194

You’re really smart.

195

roll cage? ha ha nice.

from my girlfriend “your shoulders are ginormous!”

196

“You’re really good with your hands.”

I was typing.

This one isn’t physique related but it was the best one I ever recieved.

“You… Fuck… Like… A… Fucking… God!.. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

One I always got growing up was how gorgeous my eyes were. I have big brown eyes with rediculously long eyelashes. I have no idea why but My eyelashes look better than most girls after they coat thiers up in that black shit that runs down thier face when they cry.

I get some “sexy legs” remarks too, thats mainly from all the running I used to do, my legs have always been pretty muscular and lean.

On vacation in the Caribbean last week, 2 different people told me “You look like Kid Rock and Jesus!”

Only one of those names is a compliment.
