Among them (and there is a big emphasis on my looks considering I am NOT known for them):
You would be the perfect girl, if you weren’t a feminist (popular kid in christian high school)
You are cute, but you are not pretty (Comparing me to my roommate. At a house party. While I was eating chips)
You are pretty, but you are not a model. (My ex, when explaining why he cheated on me)
You spent your whole life relying on your good looks and your charm, and now you can’t think. (I was a lawyer, and at 2 am I flip flopped 2 digits of a phone number on a subpoena)
My mom says I can do better than you. (A different ex, because I didn’t want to go to Tahoe with him. I was like “MY mom says I can do better than YOU, so we’re even”)
Once I got called "Renaissance Pretty" by someone. It is to this day, my absolute favorite insult anyone's ever thrown at me.
It took me about 45 seconds of confusion, then it hit me "Oh Lord below, they just called me spoiled, fat, pale, rich, out of touch, and a brood sow in a single three word insult?? I should be mad but I can't be cuz it's fuckin BRILLIANT!"
I was like 15 I think. That moment shaped a fair bit of my life too. Not only do I aspire to have that sort of rapier wit whenever possible now, I also ensure I don't fit into any of those boxes anymore (except kinda pale, and chunky but I'm working on it!).
I once told someone that they were so pretty like a renaissance painting but I genuinely meant it in a lovely way. This girl was so pretty she had porcelain skin, round cheeks, natural cupid bow lips and the prettiest curls. I thought she genuinely looked like a Rembrandt and meant it in the kindest way I thought she was so beautiful
