Someone said i looked like a barbie doll...should i take that as a compliment or insult?

Question

what did they mean by that exactly????

Answer 1

Who can honestly say unless they know them or can read their thoughts. I do not compare women or females to toys. The name Barbie that holds no bad meaning for me. Parents have named their daughters with it because they felt it meant beauty and worth to them. People will use whatever names they choose according to their definition with a desire to get the expected reaction. I heard a woman refer to a bride as a Barbie doll. After a few minutes, the woman repeated it while adding the explanation of how beautiful she looked for her wedding Without the unsolicited explanation, I would not really know her meaning behind the name.

Answer 2

It could be both. GOOD; You are pretty and have an awesome figure like a barbie doll. BAD; You are stuck up and act fake. It depends if that person is a close friend it means good but if you are not friends and you did something to them or anything its bad.

Answer 3

When people say you look like a barbie doll. you can either take it as a compliment or a insult.I think as it in a compliment way they say your pretty . Because barbie dolls are pretty.

Answer 4

It depends on the context in which the comment was said. It could mean that they think you're pretty, but alot of times I've seen it used to refer to someone that is one or a combination of several things: superficial, prissy, fake, sometimes airheaded, etc. If it bothers you so much you could maybe try asking the person who said it what they meant, although chances are they might get smart with you if it was meant as a bit of an insult. I wouldn't worry about it to much though honestly.

Answer 5

well a barbie doll is suppose to look like a dream girl but in modern days it can also mean like a hooker meaning wearing to much make up so it depends if u wear a lot of make up then its the hooker and if u have a good body and preety face and don't wear A LOT of makeup then ur a dream girl

Answer 6

Compliment. Look at Rhiana, she looks like a barbie doll and she's gorgeous

Answer 7

I would say they meant it as a compliment, most people think of Barbie as the perfect girl.

Answer 8

I here that all the time,with a name like Dolly,people often relate me to a barbie.If your name is not doll oriented, you just strike them as being barbie-ish.It could mean two things,It could mean that you are perfect,your hair,make-up,cloths,you always look like a million bucks,on the other hand it might mean they think you look fake.A way to figure out which one they meant is to think of the person who said it,if they often compliment you,they meant it in a good way,if they often make fun of your looks,they are jealous of you,are self conscious,and tried to hurt you by calling you fake.

Answer 9

in the event that they are asserting you're a Barbie then no it is not a compliment. yet once you look as though Barbie then specific i could say it particularly is. Barbie is the superhuman epitome of tremendously. ridiculously tall, with spectacular curves and boobs.

Answer 10

if someone is a man then that is a compliment,because for a man barbie is perfect figure for a woman.
if someone is a woman means she really hates you,because nowadays barbie is no more than object for torture and mutilation for girls,who else in that room,if she say that thing in front of other woman's thats mean she is making a command to attack you,or your not acceptable in their community.good luck.
