Do you hate it when people "fish" for compliments?

Question

I know that it gets on my nerves. Especially when people put their height and weight on these questions and say things like "I'm 5'1 and 100 lbs. Do you think I am fat?" It just irks me! Why can't people just accept their looks, good or bad, without having to have someone confirm it for them constantly. I am beginning to understand why guys hate that "Does this make me look fat?" question :)

Answer 1

Good point.
BTW - is that "holy terror" name of yours suppose to have some hidden meaning?

Answer 2

Everyone secretly loves receiving a compliment, and most likely are just looking for attention. I do it sometimes, but it can be annoying when ultra- thin girls tell you they're fat, or when a classmate tells you they "failed" a test (when they really got a B). That's annoying.

Answer 3

I agree. With those types of people, even if they did look good, I wouldn't say anything because I know it's just what they want to hear. It goes the same for those who have to brag about themselves.

Answer 4

I think you are cute just the way you are.

(Was that the answer you wanted? Your question was pretty subtle, so i'm not sure exactly what you were fishing for.)

(And no, that dress does *not* make you look fat.)

Answer 5

yeah but that's pretty much human nature in a nutshell... using ppl for our own benefit (which in this case is making ourselves feel good)

Answer 6

pretty much sums up the story of my frustrations with the human race.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Yes I do.

Answer 9

people are just insecure

Answer 10

yeah...hate that SOOOOooo much!
