Me and my coworkers were chatting the other day at work and I told a girl I did modeling gigs in high school (we both work at the gym) and her response was "yeah, you look handsome enough."

Her response was genuinely non-sarcastic and we have always gotten along, on good terms, but I can't tell if this was an insult or a compliment towards my looks. What do you think?

How so?

Telling someone they're handsome is a compliment, obviously but throw in the word "enough" and it seems to turn into like a back-handed compliment...."you're attractive but not super attractive"

Would you ever tell a girl

"You look pretty enough."

No, you'd say "you're pretty."

The secret:
It's whatever you want it to be.

Beta-mentality = insult
Alpha-mentality = compliment

Don't let your insecurities fuck your frame of reference. Be strong, senpai.

if she says that she used to model, yes, i would say you look like you're pretty enough. Only saying you're pretty is awkward and cringe. You don't compliment the other sex like that, but by saying enough, you don't escalate

But in the context of a person saying they modeled that is still a huge compliment. The girl is basically saying "yeah, you're a 11/10".

OP if you did modeling you are a good looking person for sure and you do have serious self confidence issues if you need anonymous posters on an underwater-mongolian-basket-weaving board to reaffirm your self-worth.
>>
I can't relate to OP's situation because it's either "you're hot" "you're cute" or "he's hot"(random girl talking about me). So idk.
>>
it wasn't either, it was called being polite. You said you modeled (obviously you never have seriously if you are this insecure), its not like she would call you a liar

nigga this is the dumbest thread ever
