Question

If someone told you "you look like Cleopatra" would you think it a compliment or an insult?

Answer 1

Well... that depends... I think I'd take it as a compliment because illustrations of her are beautiful, but they say in all actuality that the woman was quite hideous.  

Answer 2

Actually my boss told me that after I had my hair cut into a bob... I took it as a compliment :)

Answer 3

if they ment it as an insult or compliment, doesnt matter to me. i would be offended...

seeing as im a guy XD

Answer 4

well if they mean you look like her now (a 2000 year old crumbly skeleton) then yes.

Answer 5

I'd have mixed feelings, I think, but more importantly would think this person was definitely visually impaired, or perhaps, like many on here, delusional.

Answer 6

erm... it depends on if Dragon looked like Cleopatra pre-suicide or post-suicide.  If it is pre-suicide, Dragon would prolly take it as a compliment.  Otherwise, it's no compliment.

Answer 7

If I was a beautiful cat like you, I would take it as a compliment, and keep in mind, they're really comparing you to Elizabeth Taylor in her prime, or possibly Theda Bara, who was no slouch to look at either... since they obviously never *saw* Cleo herself, and the archaeologists say the images that are left are only representational insofar as they are images of females... so, yeah, compliment.  

Answer 8

It would make me question their sanity or eyesight or both.
