Politically Incorrect Compliments

I’m always searching for new and creative ways to tell those I love just what they mean to me. I’ve grown bored with all the canned phrases:  “You’re amazing!”  “You’re stunning!” “I love you!”  Yawn.  Compliments such as these are used so often they lack emotion.  In order to give a heartfelt declaration that certain jenesaisquoi—I think your word choice really needs to pack a punch that people will notice.

My two favorites at this time are:

1)     If I were a lesbian, I would pick you.
2)     You are so great, I could stalk you. (I usually reserve this for men)

Think about it ladies. If another woman said that to you, wouldn’t you be elated?  I would. I think it’s the highest ranking compliment one woman can pay another. That teeny tiny phrase encompasses it all: you’re brilliant, funny, beautiful, interesting…I can’t get enough of your awesomeness!

And the stalking comment is equally tight.  I mean, what says I love you like wanting to know and see everything a person does 24/7?  Nothing.  It’s the ultimate.

Now get out there and go make some new friends!!!!!!!
