Chubby

Ladies- If a guy says you have chubby cheeks, do you take it as a compliment or do you get offended?

Guys- If you ever told a girl she has chubby cheeks, did you mean it in a good way (like she’s a cutie) or a subtle way of telling her that she isn’t gonna find gold at the bottom of a jar of nutella?

I told a friend she has chubby cheeks and I meant it in a good way but she reckons I’m calling her fat.

Peace.

Re: Chubby

I think I'd be offended if it was coming from a guy I was interested in. I'd probably start starving myself to death or worse, become bulimic. :(

Re: Chubby

I would smile but would definitely get concerned about my motapa

Re: Chubby

Simple strategy: Take everything positively .. Whats wrong with having chubby cheeks?

Re: Chubby

Exactly CB! I think its a cute feature!

Re: Chubby

I always get that. And why would I get offended? Chubby is cute! :blush:

Re: Chubby

Chubby, plump, gol matol....do you have a death wish, khansi?

You'll have better success if you liken her to a chubby faced animal instead. Like a chipmunk, water buffalo, pufferfish.

:p

Re: Chubby

I think women have this "quality" to make things come off completely opposite to what men say.

"You look nice today"
"Are you saying I don't like nice everyday?"

"This food you cooked is great!"
"Whats wrong with everything else I cook?"

"You look cute"
"I don't look beautiful?"

"Lets grab a pizza"
"We never do anything fancy!"

"Lets grab something fancy"
"You never want to stay at home with me"

"I love you"
"Ufff kia chahiye?"

Actually should make a thread about this. When have compliments you've given, been turned against you?

Re: Chubby

I don't really care tbh.
It seems oriental Asians are obsessed with their face though. Did you know there are masks that supposedly make your face smaller?

I was told by a guy friend of mine that I was fatter than my sister, she's like a good 10cm taller than me and has a Japanese build while I think I'm average.

Oh and Japanese don't accept compliments EVER. I swear you compliment them and they will flat out deny to the point of it being rude (by western standards)
I don't understand why they freely give out compliments but never accept them!

Re: Chubby

CHEEKS! Grabs cheeks, rubs cheeks, pokes cheeks, kisses cheeks CHEEKS! I love girls with chubbeh cheeks and when they smile you can see a lil dimple Rolls... cuteness overload...faints somoene call 911.

Re: Chubby

Cheeks :hmmm:

Re: Chubby

The dilemma of complimenting a woman! Poor you :(

Here's the thing, chubby at its best equals cute, at its worst equals fat. Unfortunately, after about 6th grade cute is no longer a compliment when it comes to appearance, it's sounds in the mind of a female, a bit condescending.

You might say, "awww, you're so cute!" and mean it as a compliment. She'll hear you say, "awww, you're so cute, kinda like the little puppy in the petshop window (or worse) like my 8 year old sister."

Oh and the other problem is that women have totally destroyed the meaning of cute in their passive-aggressive subtext-laden verbal wars with other women where cute means anything but cute :D

:hypo: Janab woh nahi hain jo app samjh rahi/rahey ho :slight_smile:

Re: Chubby

Sooo if a girl calls me cute....I'm not cute? :(

Re: Chubby

Listen to how she says it and her body-language. She might be calling you a puppy-dog :D

Re: Chubby

cheeky thread ;)

Re: Chubby

Oh dear. She’s treating me like her dog :disgust:

I should stop sitting when she tells me to. BUT THE TREATS ARE SO DAMN GOOD!!!

Re: Chubby

What you should have told her is that you like a little junk in the trunk. Or better yet, that you "like a woman you can grab onto something".

Re: Chubby

Just pinch the cheeks too while you say it.

Re: Chubby

You should extrapolate the comment to the rest of your body.
