Reblog with the most backhanded compliment that you have ever received.
“I’m more of a skinny fat and you’re, well, not.”
“You’re pretty, but I wonder what you’d look like if you were thinner.”
After discussing effective ways of torture: “You’re like my mother.”
“Well aren’t you a pretty little hiefer.”
and
“I’m so tired of boys hitting on me, sometimes I wish I looked more like you.”
“You, for instance! You don’t LOOK like you’d be talented, whereas [your other classmates] Wyatt and Beth radiate greatness at fifty paces.”
“You’re so pretty! Now if you’d just straighten your hair.”
“You’re going to be so pretty when you lose weight.”
“Your intelligence makes up for your looks.”
“I’m glad you have such a high opinion of yourself. You don’t usually see that in girls your size.”
“if your face was pretty youd be really hot”
i don’t actually remember any backhanded compliments but i can remember an insult that was so bold i didnt realise i was being insulted at first
“Are your cousins pretty or do they look like you?”
More of a bold insult: “(…)’s so fat that if she got hit by a car, it wouldn’t hurt.”
Or I guess a backhanded compliment would be “You would look so pretty if you lost weight and started dressing better. Then the boys would give you a chance!”
