I got my favorite backhanded slap in the face compliment, and it just made me think of all the awkward, perverse, inappropriate compliments I have come across in my few years of being “of age”. I know these types of compliments aren’t limited to big girls, but I’m no skinny bitch, so I won’t speak on the generic ones just the ones that tend to be big girl specific.
“Girl, you thicka than a snicka”
“You’re pretty, for a big girl”
“You look delicious”
With no regard for my name “Can I get your number”
“What’s wrong with your face? Why is it so gorgeous?”
“Your lips are real nice, I bet they taste good”
For me, I always wonder where guys learned these statements and what compels you to say them to a woman. Am I supposed to be flattered and just fawn over you just because you want to get into my panties? You are a man, I am a woman, that is the natural order of things. Is it too much effort to ask for you to try and get me and not approach me as if you got me already? My favorite is when they act like they are so attractive that I should feel honored they approached me. My confidence doesn’t always show, but I know my worth enough to know when you are trying to run game on me. Turning around and calling me names all you want because it might make you feel better in the moment, but we both know you thought you could pull me, got your feelings hurt along with a bruised ego. That doesn’t make me the bad guy, it should tell you to humble yourself because not everyone wants you.
There are far too many big girls that allow any ole pick-up line to work. I’ve seen it, and I’m just in my own space like”noooooo, he’s a dick, don’t do it” I just shake my head and keep moving. I feel like this is where these lines were born. They worked with that one girl, so they use them on women they think have similar self-esteem issues. Generalizing will get your feelings hurt.
There is no trick to picking up women, just don’t be a creep or a jerk. Yet I know this may be hard for many guys to comprehend, because women are complicated creatures, but we can appreciate the simplest of things as well; Well, at least I can.
