telling someone they look like someone else u know or a especially a well known celeb?

i think some are super safe and more likely to be universally accepted as compliment
like telling a woman she reminds u of halle berry or naomi campbell
or a guy that he reminds u of denzel or morris chestnut or something

but then there are some where u just never know
even if u personally feel that celeb/personality is beautiful

sfsfsfsfsf

im super careful about that
its kinda one of those things where impact def overrules ur intent

nah its easy

if the look-a-like is questionable, i'll just say " you look like a cute version of ________ "

never fails (offends)

thats still iffy to me

if i have to basically follow it up with "ur the cute version tho"

i probably wouldnt compare them to that person to begin with.
i would feel rude. "u look like this person who i clearly dont think is cute, but dont worry - ur cute tho".

:plzstop:

sfsfsfsfsfsf sounds like something youd say ABOUT someone , not necessarily directly TO them.

eh, maybe that's just projection/personal fear of yours

youre basically calling them cute. literally never had anyone be offended by it.

That's the thing ...

it's one of those things where someone won't actually tell u they're offended .

very few people are gonna say "excuse me?" Most will probably smile and nod and keep it moving.

and it's also unnecessarily low key referring to the celeb in question  as unattractive / ugly. It's just not very positive .

If I'm complimenting someone i want it to be devoid of negativity , with no "buts" involved . I shouldn't have to explain or proactively defend the intent of a compliment .

If I have to do all that I'm gonna just say nothing at all.
Or just simply say "you're so cute" without the extra stuff.

I agree with Af' tbh.

Unless the person is generally regarded as attractive, it can be taken the wrong way.

My sister showed me a picture of her and my other sister recently and I was like 'Oh [other sister] kinda looks like Bree Runway here' and my sister was like 'Erm yeah, she'd kinda be offended if you actually told her that'.
I was like 'Oh...' :dead:

I think it's those celebs who fall in a "midpoint" of sorts

Like they're not universally regarded or pushed as unattractive/undesirable , but they're not universally regarded as beauty kwees either

So The way it's taken can go either way

Amazing

There are these two ugly tubby short Indian guys at work and I call them twins.

Amazing

One off them called me Ms Coconut today because I sound "white" and the Ms. cos they think I'm confirmed gay because they noticed I had a facial and mask treatment during the weekend and my has been glowing all week.

CHOKE

Nah, like I know this girl who looks like Chloe Bailey and I kept it to myself. One day she brought it up how she gets tired of people telling her how much they look alike 

and I was like oh yeah, I kinda see it

This Indian guy at my job said me and my coworker who's afro-Latina look like twins . Was kinda bold but he's very familiar and playful with both of us so I can see why he was comfortable saying it

We embraced it though . I actually saw the likeness and she's a cutie IMO so I wasn't offended. We call each other "twinzy" all the time now .

Was still very ballsy of him telling black people they look alike but he's one of those people who is  likable enough for u to just take it for what it is .

And She's one of those afro-latinas who are super duper pro black . Which I love . So we here >><<  on so many levels . :scrumptious:

GRAND ETERNAL SUPREME

I find that insulting to receive and say not because of how attractive the compared person is or isn't, but I'd want someone I'm seeing to feel unique, and see me as the same. 

Might as well call me a piece of fcking chocolate
