My Best Compliment Ever!!!! Anyone Else Had One???

[Marlena_Sparkles]

Yesterday I went to Sam's club to visit my mom while she was working. As I was walking through the food section a food server says "maam...maam" I said softly yes. She says "are you a model?" I'm like no. She said "you should be. Honey you look that good". I just smiled and said "thanks so much. You're too kind" I was.... I never got such a nice compliment in all my days as a lady. I was sooo happy! I've posted pics of what I was wearing. I had on my: Skinny Hudson jeans,Victoria's tee,JC Penny sweater,Nine West heels and my gorgeous Gucci shades. I also though I did pretty good with my outfit. So I'm wondering...Anyone else had any similar experiences???

How sweet, made your day I'll bet. I have never been asked if I was a model, but have had some nice compliments. makes it seem all worthwhile ..LOL
And might I add... you do look great!

No... never been asked if I was a model... I was once asked if I was in another profession by someone... 'Bloody cheek!!!' I thought...

[Staci K]

What a confidence builder... You had to feel like you were on cloud nine.

For me, the best compliment had to come from my own mother. When I came out to her, I showed her a picture of Nicole. Her jaw dropped and she let out a resounding, "That's you?!?!" "You look great!"

Funny how even the smallest comments can have the greatest effect for good to one's confidence.

That's wonderful to get such a compliment! Good for you. Other than photographers taking my pic, the best I have received was when I was done getting a makeover and another customer told me that I looked pretty.

[Phyliss]

I've been told, "You've done a nice job" wich only means I've been read but at least I look good. Another time, I've been told by my hair dresser that I dress better than some of her customers.

Model? not a chance.

[kristinacd55]

Wow, that's great. Great self esteem builder!

Oh yes it did. I agree. Makes all I've put into it worthwhile. Oh...thanks for the kind words Kelly.

Nicole...Yes I did. I am still on cloud 9 today. ITA...even the smallest compliments go a looonnnggg way!

Thanks Katie B & SheeriePall.

Good for you. Doesn't it feel great?

Kristina...Thanks. Yes it is!!!

[Phyliss]

Yes, Marlena, it does feel good to get some sort of recognition for your efforts

My counsellor told me last week that I had done a good job on my makeup. The omly other 'compliment ' came from a guy who said I looked gorgeous after I declined his offer to go to his hotel room, lol.

[windycissy]

Just this week a woman told me I had cute shoes, but my all-time favorite compliment was in Vegas, I was dressed to the nines in a black dress, heels, bling, the works and making my way through the Palms casino when I passed a group of touristos, one of the women whispered to her friend "I think she's a hooker!"

Very nice story, it's wonderful when stuff like this happens to us.

As for the best compliment I've received, it's something I'll never forget. I happened to post on it right after it happened, here's a quote from that thread...

I was to meet a dear tg friend of mine at about 1:00 p.m. Having given myself plenty of time to get ready beforehand, I had a little time to kill at Macy's. I browsed cosmetics for a bit and then looked around for the shoes because they are having an incredible clearance sale. Didn't see the department so I looked at the directory. Curiously, not listed so I figured this might be one of those malls with two different Macy's stores. I wandered back through cosmetics, looking for a SA who wasn't busy. Found one in fragrances. Her back was to me so I said excuse me. When she turned around, surely not having time to even register "tg" or anything like that, she immediately said "oh my gosh, you are absolutely beautiful".

I was floored to say the least, and aside from a thank you and getting my question answered, I was utterly speechless. In hindsight, I kind of wish I would have engaged her in a little conversation. What specifically led her to say this? Did she happen to see this tg girl walking about already? Either way, it put me on cloud nine and set me up to have a wonderful remainder of my day!!!

I still regret not talking to her more to find out exactly where she was coming from. Either way, I absolutely adore receiving compliments.

Marlena,

You put together a gorgeous outfit, your makeup and hair looked perfect, and I'm sure all that gave you the confidence to carry yourself proudly and gracefully - in other words, you looked like a model. Yay!

I have definitely had compliments along the way - guys in cars almost breaking their necks for a better look, compliments about how I looked better in the clothes than other customers (usually voiced in a very surprised tone ). Girls telling me they love my necklace or shoes. Ladies saying that they wish they could still wear the outfits that I do, etc. It seems the more you go out, the more confidence you have. I feel beauty comes from the inside, not caked on from the outside. If you feel beautiful, the world will know.

Anyway, please continue to post your compliments received. We all need to hear about the good things while we're out and about.

[Ronni Seymour]

Sweety, I can understand how that would have made you feel!
You look wonderful and very attractive in you pics and I can see why she told you that.
If I had someone tell me that, I believe I would want to dress full time!

[Sarah...]

Cool! But look out! You're gonna get eaten by that triffid behind you

Sarah...

I do also Sara! Great story. Yes it is wonderful when we can get a compiment that a real lady would otherwise get.

Awww thanks sweetie. I agree with ya on the more you get,the more confident you feel. It's a wonderful feeling.

I also get a boost from my women friends. We go all over together. Shopping,out to eat & out clubbing. I must look okay. I have a feeling if I didn't,they would not want to hang out with me. That's a confdence booster too!!

Hey...I see you have had your share also. I've seen some of your pics. You've got it goin on too!

Carol...thanks,you're sooo sweet!

Sarah...Hahahaha

[Teri Jean]

Marlena,
That had to be the best compliment you could get and your pictures show that she was right. Very nice outfit.

I dressed for my sisters-in-law awhile back and when I walked into the house they said S**T she looks better than we do. Then there was the ton of questions on makeup, hair, nails and how did I learn to walk in three inch heels.

Those are the days when you can pick up your head and roar "I AM WOMAN" and smile all the way home. Thank you for your thread. Keep going and many huggs to you.

One time years ago, I was at a Triess meeting fo the 1st time. While I was on line for when food was being served one of the wives realized I was a guy and said that she and the other wives were wondering why I wasnt hanging out with them. Needless to say it made my night.

I managed to do that twice with GG partners at Seahorse meetings (similar to triess). Strangely, it was back when I was nowhere nearly as good with makeup as I am now (and I know that I could do a lot better still).

My best compliment was from a SA who told me "You had me completely fooled until you spoke." Happily, she didn't say that at the time but waited until the next time I was there in boy mode.

I think that the best compliment that I've ever received was one time I was in the bathroom at a club chatting with some ladies and I mentioned that I was trying to lose a whole bunch of weight that I had recently gained, and one of the girls turned me and said, seriously, "Why did you gain weight? Did you have a baby?" The other girls could barely stifle their laughter as I explained to her that no, I've giving it some thought, but I've decided I'll never give birth ! :-)

[dilane]

Marlena,

Great story. You look good and you must carry yourself well (half the battle, especially when taller than average).

I've been out and about for, what, 18 years or so, so I've had enough time to rack up a few favorites:

Browsing in the lingerie section of Macy's, and one of the salesgirls, a dark haired eastern european with perfect makeup, said to me: "You're so beautiful".

Once pumping gas (I forgot to do it before going out), a young boy said to me "You're pretty!"

Recently, when I told a woman who was chatting with me at a straight club, she was shocked and said "Oh my God, I never would have guessed, you're beautiful and your voice is perfect" (that's my favorite )

I've also been asked about "female" problems -- I was flattered, but confessed "I've never had a period because I was born a boy".

But I've also been read in a microsecond by different people at other times.

Thats pretty sweet Alice. I've gotton that one too a few times.

Thanks so much Keli. I think compliments from other women are the best!

Thank you Dilane for your kind words. Love your little stories. Thanks for sharing with us.

Terri...how nice...it would've made my night too!

Thanks so much JoAnne & Barbie for your nice thoughts.
