Compliments: American vs. Kuwaiti
Case 1: American guy at gym.
Him: What's your secret?
Me (confused) : Secret???
Him: Yeah, you have lost a lot of weight, you look great!
Me (grinning and in shock): You KNOW me?
Him: Yeah I used to see you around during the summer. (i.e. he has seen my 'J-Lo' ass in a bathing suit tanning)
Me: Oh ok! Well thank you very much, it is so sweet of you to notice, I am truly flattered.
Case 2: Kuwaiti friend at gathering.
Him (accusingly): You have lost weight! You look good!
Me: Umm, yeah I lot some thanks for noticing.
Him: No no really! You have lost a LOT of weight!!
Me: Umm, well yeah, I have been working out, but its just a couple of kilos.
Him: No it can't be! I mean, you used to be OBESE! I mean really OBESE!!
(quick note, the largest I have ever been was a UK14, whereas he is 3 times my size)
Me: Well, I only lost THREE kilos.
Him: It can't be!
Me: Well it is. Hmmm, maybe I am just more in shape with the working out.
Him: Hmm maybe.

thats tactful! Well obviously that is why the kuwaiti guy is probably still single. Talk to anyone like that and you're not going to attract much aside from dissapointed stares.
Hmmm

the KD: I think I might. But I think its about time I mention that the american guy was old enough to be my grandpa (if he was still alive), and the kuwaiti guy is my newfound cousin :P
Who I feel in his mind was trying to say something nice.
