    I don’t know how weird it is but I’ve been told a few times that I have a “calming presence”. It’s a very nice compliment, just don’t understand why or how.

      This is sometimes what happens when someone grows up around someone who is volatile or unpredictable.

      Natural adaptation.

      Could that be why?

    I’ve had several people throughout my life tell me they like my earlobes. Had a friend as a kid, and her adoptive dad was obsessed with them. He was a very quirky and funny person, it was never creepy but still weird.

    First girl I ever kissed complimented me on my nice looking hands at the teenybopper bar. Weird at the time, took me a couple of decades to realize women look at our hands, think of us touching them.

      I had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal. So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was… special.

    Irish people ask me what part of Ireland I’m from. I must do an amazing Irish accent despite being Scottish and have never visited there. I blame the fact that central Edinburgh doesn’t have a strong Scottish accent and lots of Londoners/Americans study here.

    Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I’m a “goddess among mortals” for making a carrot cake without raisins.

    I’m an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn’t seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.

      Oh shit, you are a goddess among mortals! Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites so I keep trying it despite being disappointed every time that someone put raisins in it. It’s just mean.

        The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don’t mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I’d choose…I dunno, german chocolate or something.

          Walnuts on the frosting is fine with me but a lot of the ones from the shops used to put them in the cake - not so good.
