How do you feel?

Question

If someone told you that you were pretty but you knew yourselves that you wasnt.. should you think that this person just trying to fool you or what....

Answer 1

I wouldn't believe anyone who said that about me. But I wouldn't bother them about it. I'd just ignore it.

Answer 2

One of the most touching things I have ever seen carved on a headstone is that carved into H.L. Mencken's grave marker, which says, "If you would please my spirit give a wink to a homely girl." There is a kindness to that which I think reflects the generosity of spirit we should all strive to emulate.

Now, I also have a friend, a friend who was always much more successful with dating and attracting women than I was when we were young men growing up. I asked him once to what he attributed his success, and he responded: "If you have not found something special about this woman or that one, you have simply not looked hard enough." This suggested to me that beauty was very much in the eye of the beholder.

Then as I grew older, and I began to think about love and relationships, attraction and self image with a mature mind, I began to ponder the merits of looking to the eyes of others for the measure of one's self-worth. After some thought I came to the conclusion that among the most important things one can do to become attractive to and esteemed by others is to learn to like oneself.

My dear, you may be pretty, physically or otherwise, and this person may have seen something in you that you have denied yourself the pleasure of seeing.

Answer 3

Wow, you're kinda rude being suspicious of a compliment. Wether its obvious or not just accept the compliment graciously and don't get all paranoyed and annoyed with someone who is just being nice to an ugly person. They are hard enough people to be nice to in the first place.

Answer 4

Maybe the person sees some type of beauty which you don't realize that you have.

I feel much better now after having a pretty bad night last night, thank you.

Answer 5

I am sure you have heard, as I have, that beauty is in Beholder's eyes! Don't be too cruel to yourself, please: no, that person probably was not trying to fool you or himself, but he was perhaps trying to define his own perception of a pretty human, a pretty friend. You simply agree with him, as far as that remark is concerned: beyond that,...... well, we'll see then!

Answer 6

maybe you are pretty then and just dont realise it, i telll my boyfriend he is hot all the time and he never believes me!
or maybe the guy is into u and wants to give u a compliment maybe u have a 'pretty' personality!
i wouldnt worry about it, he was most likely being genuine!
hehe be happy pretty girl!

Answer 7

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... if somebody told me that I am pretty, regardless of my self-image, I think that would be great. That person would get a thank you from me.

Answer 8

well, its rude if you didn't thanked him for the compliment.
why are you taking this seriously? you like this guy or something?
you are not a fool...just take it as a compliment.. if you feel he has a hidden agenda, only time will tell. don't go on trippin

Answer 9

Well I myself in fact have been told that I am a good looking man. BUT I AM UGLIER than sin itself. But you know something I don't care. Doesn't bother me in the least. I am confident in myself, and with my abilities.

Answer 10

maybe youre putting yourself down too much. other people have different perception.

and physical beauty isnt everything!
