I've got diamonds at the meeting of my thighs

Has anyone ever complimented your "experience" between the sheets in such a way that you weren't exactly sure if it was a compliment or not?
I just read this line in a poem someone posted on her discussion and it got me to thinking about some of the "compliments" I have received over the years from guys who have been fortunate to share in said experiences with me.
Take this line for example "I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs"
Wow. That is like 100 times better then telling me I have parts of my anatomy made of gold.
But think about it.
Diamonds are formed when carbon deposits are exposed to high pressure and temperature for prolonged periods deep within the earths CRUST! Doesn't sound like some place I would want my anatomy exploring if I were a guy. *shudders at the thought*
I have also had my internal girlie parts referred to as "velvet clad vise grips"
Sure velvet is soft and warm and smooth and sometimes feels fuzzy (time for a shave Cyn) but a VISE GRIP? Really? A vise grip. How many men reading this have crossed their legs and have an expression of OUCH on their faces right now?
I know I am over thinking this but I think it is like this with all compliments. If you think about them long enough you could find a way to make them not so complementary.
Has anyone ever complimented you in this fashion? Please share!

A sucker for the English language? Well that's good provided you don't become intoxicated with the exuberance of your own verbosity!

I can't think of any that come to mind at this point but yep I have had those types of compliments that sound all warm and fuzzy and then upon further exploration of the comment you left with HUH...

I usually don't have a HUH moment whist picking apart compliments.
It is the left handed compliments that make me go "WTF"
Like, Oh honey, you're not THAT fat.
Yeah those could end up causing the complimenter some serious bodily harm.

Check back often, I'll be making cookies.
You probably don't hear them because guys usually aren't as creative. They tend to stick to one syllable compliments like Yes! Good! God! Wow! Suck Me!

Wow, I would consider both of those to be very complimentary.
I wouldn't look at it any other way.
If a man comes up with something like that, then you know darn well, he's liking it,or should I say, LOVIN IT! :o)

Yes they are complimentary and like any woman I love compliments! But men typically aren't the most articulate creatures (sorry guys I'm speaking to your species as a whole) so I think they should stick to physical compliments rather than verbal.

Did you know they screwed up the alphabet?

It was a compliment I hope.

See if I were a guy and a male friend told me that about a girls "abilities" I would be afraid, very afraid.
I would be worry that instead of her completing the act she would end up with part of my small intestine in her teeth. *cringe*
Heck, I'm a woman and I'm even afraid of you. The compliment I got was "You could suck a bowling ball through a garden hose"
Hoover ain't got nothing on you sweetie :)

This is the funniest thread I have read in a while. I have not much to contribute though. I am a big fan of cheezy pick up lines as they tend to work for me, but never have I compared the nether regions of a woman to a rock of any variety. The velvet vice grips one I could see, and I have known a woman who could be described as that, but not fully clamped down, just tightened a fair amount LOL.

LOL...too funny, girl!
Don't over-think these things, the folks who said them were surely sincere in their praise! Words sprung from deep feelings seldom pass the mind's scrutiny.
I once had a guy tell me I was "made to ball", does that count?

I would be shaking my head at the made to ball comment.
I know people typically mean the best and sincerest of compliments when these things stumble over their tongues and out of their mouths while they lay there breathless between my sheets.
I have enough tact left not to laugh at them :)

The post is really funny, you know? Hahahaha.. never really saw this in this light. hahaha.. I guess people over-think their creativity at times thus something would turn out wrong in the end. I do understand that somehow there will always be two sides of the coin, especially if it involved words.
I really thought about the 'diamond between the thighs' line and it certainly gives you that OUCH feeling if you look at it literally. But I guess the author was thinking about the deeper meaning of diamonds. Which could mean another thing. Like the feeling of joy when someone gives you a diamond. The exhilarating feeling of looking at a perfectly cut diamond. I guess the author was moving towards that type of connotation rather than the 'literal' sense of the word. Oh well, let's hope so. Otherwise, indeed the OUCH wouldn't be a nice sight nor feeling.

I'm sure you are right about what the writer was thinking when she came up with this line I used as my title. But just somethings that can be so WOW when you hear them could really turn into OMG after you think about them for awhile. Thanks for commenting.

I always thought that they put diamond tips on drills. I think that it is only polite to express appreciation but I confess that I've never waxed lyrical. For once in my life I am well and truly stuck. I thought that I would write something poetic and profound (there's a first) but you know what, I can't!

Wow P1ke, I take that fact that you find yourself incapable of a comment a HUGE compliment ;)

I am dying to hear you wax lyrical on this particular topic, p1kef1sh! I'm going to pour a drink, and sit back and relax while I read, afterwhich I'm sure a smoke will be in order. So, get to thinking, darlin, I'm waiting. Sighs at the ready, thighs at the ready, ready to slide.

Novataylor has challenged me to come up with something poetic. I shall pen something lyrical, but they're your thighs and your diamonds, so I hope that you don't mind. It will be adult but not tawdry, at least I hope that you won't think it so. So I will PM it to people that ask me to, including you of course.

The way you put it? OUCH.. LOL!! I'm sure you know when a person says that it is for compliment and you should take it as such. When you are mad with someone you tell them that you'll KILL them! but do you mean so?

yes I do take it as a compliment but I sometimes think it is funny to pick apart the words that people say. I would rather be made to laugh to then be complimented any time.
