Best compliments you received?

[Dead Cell]

Just wondering what are your best compliments you received from people.

That my oldest son is one the most respectful teenagers, I've had a few people go out of their way to tell me this....NOTHING could make me more proud as a parent and as a person...this is my number 1 job

[risingcougar]

Looked in the mirror at the end of my cut a few weeks ago and literally thought "wow."

Felt nice to appreciate my hard work.

The 10 or so women that have asked me out so far at the gym don't hurt either. (we have ~4500 active members so it's a small percentage but still made me smile more every day)

LOL Has nothing whatsoever to do with lifting or bodybuilding. One of the Special Education Specialists who comes to our campus told another Third Grade teacher; "If I had a kid in this school, I'd want him to be in Mr. ****'s class. Sometimes they just need a boot up their *%&!" Ha ha My coworker told me, Mrs. ******** really complimented you today! Made me feel pretty good.

"I'm proud of you for making the right decision."

"If I had a son, I'd like him to be just like you."

"You are the best employee I've ever had."

"Thanks for saving my life!"

Watching the first Captain America movie last year, my 7 y/o daughter turns and says:

"Dad, you've got bigger muscles than Captain America!"

[Getsum]

My dad telling me that I'm a better parent than he was, that's always stuck with me. My dad did a good job raising us but because he was in the Navy, he was gone a lot.

[oggq]

Wow..you look great! You're not AS fat as you used to be. lol

[moeheep]

"It took me a couple of seconds to remember your voice....otherwise I never would have recognized you."

[Kingthumper]

From my sister "Todd, you don't look nearly as fat as in the pictures from Christmas". Derp...family honesty. Heh.

11 years 3-5 grade. I always liked that compliment. Use to make my kids run a mile every day. Principle loved it.

Did you mean stick men statues?

[tobymax123]

Related to working out, my favorite compliment came from a masseur: I know you didn't get those guns from sitting at a desk all day.

[latebloomingmom]

"Ouch, stop! It's too big and won't fit"

maybe ya oughta quit trying to put your foot up everyone's *ss all the time then?




best compliment?
"you're a good mom"
from my son.

[tobymax123]

were you this obvious before today ?


did john let you down ?

are you lashing out ?

Ha ha... But I have to admit I'm not sure what is so obvious about that post. It was a female massage therapist!

It's not as obvious as someone posting a thread encouraging men to post their pictures showing their physiques.

Bazinga!

Edit: maybe I should have said masseuse for a female? Headed to google...

Just wondering what are your best compliments you received from people.

Probably from the stranger at Del Taco... "you compete in strongman don't you?"

Or maybe the guy at Lowes who was struggling to put 80 pound bags of cement on a cart... "Man your Mom didn't hold back on the food, did she?". Hahahahahaha, too funny.

No I take that back. I think the best complement is being recognized by a complete stranger as BigTallOx. ( It happened because of some of my ski videos, but even so, it's cool to be famous, hahahaha )

A school teacher? Really? I don't usually pick on people for spelling or grammar on the interweb but...

[JerryB]

I don't look my age or I have the physique of a thirty year old.

[HoustonTXMuscle]

Most frequent compliment (usually from other guys at the gym when they find out how old I am): Hope I look 1/2 as good as you once I reach your age (if I live that long).

[Corbi]

No fukkin way did they use the word "strongman".

[OutOfStep]

I don't look my age or I have the physique of a thirty year old.

The funny thing is 99% of the 30 year olds out there don't have your physique either.

The best for me was a couple of years ago my grandfather asked me if I still worked out when I saw him at Christmas. 89 years old and pulling the "do you even lift" card on me. My family is rife with ball-busters.

[DocHoss]

Not much at all fitness related. A lot of people have said I've lost weight. I didn't think I was that fat before - and they all deny it - but I must have been. Only one person has ever said anything that even implied I've been working out - a co-worker whom I hadn't seen in a few months and who said (after, "gee, you've lost weight!") "you look......'toned'" and made a V-shape with her hands. Maybe in another year of busting my *ss I'll actually look like I work out. No one will ever mistake me for a bodybuilder, that's for sure!

When my mother died, my brother and I were living at the hospital for two weeks, and the nurses told my aunt how impressed they were, since "sons never do that."

A school teacher? Really? I don't usually pick on people for spelling or grammar on the interweb but...

Maybe he loved it on principle?

Most frequent compliment (usually from other guys at the gym when they find out how old I am): Hope I look 1/2 as good as you once I reach your age (if I live that long).

Heck, I'd be happy to look half as good as you when I'm 20 years younger!

It's tough being a good parent - no better compliment IMO. I'm always wanting to rep LBM and I'm always on spread!

[AndroShock]

"Are you getting smaller?" Is the best thing anyone can ask, especially when trying to get bigger. Motivation and nothing is ever good enough.

[whatevergirl]

Weight lifting related:
Not sure if this is a direct compliment, necessarily. But, there's a guy at my gym...he's probably in his late 60's. He's taken an interest in my benching. Has given me tips on increasing my lifts, form, etc. Tells me when I'm doing a good job. Sort of has become a mentor of sorts, without me asking him. He knows I'm working hard. I have found that to be the best 'compliment,' as of late.

General compliment:
People who know me, tell me I'm a great mom.
I think I just got lucky, having amazing kids.
