What is the greatest compliment you ever had?

was it at work related?

was it deserved?

from a friend? a complete stranger? co-worker? boss? kid? family member? others?

and/or What is the greatest compliment you ever gives to someone?
 
one night i was having a conversation with my boyfriend. i said i was ugly just to see what his response would be (and cuz i thought that at the time). he said to me "you are not ugly. you should know that. you are one of hte most beautiful people i know." i still dont really know how to react to that, but it made me blush and feel really good inside.
 
The best compliment would be from my friend when I decided to get myself back in shape. He had said the most nicest things to me. Made my day :D
 
probably when my mother told me my wife and I were the best parents she'd ever seen and our son's are lucky.
 
my dad breaking into tears when i passed my gcse exams

no words needed saying but still a great compliment
 
When my friend asked me to be the Godmother of her chilren. To help her raise them, watch over them, guide them in life. To be there whenever they needed me, to be the guardian should anything ever happen.

Then again, there was the time the little one laid his head on my shoulder, sighed, told me he loved me very, very much. Almost as much as he loved Mommy.

Waaaaahhhhh..

Though his next line was... I would really like a Happy Meal. Hmmm..... Guess what he got?
 
A few people I work with,(and, even some Cusromers,)have said, "You're an attractive guy." But, because of my impaiment,(some people know what I mean,)it has made me shun a relationship with any of them.

Sitting in a car, trying to break off a relationship with a woman I loved.

Ma chatte, what's wrong with the guy in your av? Is he impotent?:p :p
 
I believe that would have to be, "I love you." That should settle the context, too, but I'll not lay claim to how deserved or not it might have been - though I do hope it was deserved.

Could not agree more, what better compliment is there, no matter the context?
 
The best praise I ever received had a backhand slap delivered with it. Back when I was on active duty in the Army, my battalion commander wrote on my offier efficeincy report "this officer would make an outstanding combat commander", but he went on to say "he has little value in a peacetime environment".

Yes that one melt my heart too!!!

lol as it did mine ...... especially since it came from a ten year old, when he's at the age that it isn't *cool* to let your Mother know things like that.
 
I hate when I get logged out and don't realize it before posting something ...... lol
 
The best compliment.....

was from a preschooler in the hospital who told me i looked like a princess and that i was very pretty...The funny thing is, is that i was having the worst day ever at work and all it took was for some 4 year old kid to make me smile again.....

Ahhhhh the power of kids:D
 
The best compliment I've ever had was that I was 'a shining example of pulchritude', and that the person who said it had never met someone who lived up to the word so well... I couldn't believe it... :) I was touched. It was that ex-lover that I was with only once, and today, he still stands by that compliment, and reminds me of it often, even though now he's simply a friend.
 
I was in an art therapy session two years ago and had drawn the outline of a man, with my eyes shut, on a large piece of paper and then completed the picture. It was no work of art.

When I looked at the completed work, I was asked to describe who I saw. I said, "He is powerful and confident. You can see he is respected.." Then, after a bit, I said, "That's me."


This was a year after giving up drinking, from the zero self-esteem position of an alcoholic in full self-destruct. That was a big step.
 
wow!

That's powerful.

Thanks for sharing that!
 
My best compliment...

I receive the best compliment every day when the 'Man I'm in love with tells me he loves me, and that I'm the most beautiful lady he's ever known.:heart:
 
the second best compliment I ever rec'd...

I had a lover who once described me as Shakespear's ideal of a woman..."a great cook, a charming hostess and a whore in the bedroom." -- as he put it.

The best compliment I ever rec'd was from a male aquaintance that I saw once a week on Sundays. Usually when I saw him I was extremely grubby as I did outside work for someone I knew to make extra money. Everytime he looked at me I never felt self-conscious about how dirty/sweaty I was. I remarked on that to him one day and he simply told me that "Here it's strictly 'come as you are' ; the emphasis is on YOU."

... He is now my S.O.
