Today, I exchanged numbers with this guy in the McDonald's drive-thru. When he asked why I gave him my number I told him I thought he had a nice smile. When I asked him the same question, he responded with "I just thought you had a nice rack". FML
I agree, your life sucks (7484) - you totally deserved it (27138)

What I'm wondering is why it's ok to compliment a male on his body; but not for a male to compliment a female's body?
Also, I'm laying a preemtive "go suck it" fragmentation mine to anyone who buries this post or says "way to reply to the first comment".
way to reply to the first comment
Someone had to do it.

sometimes its unfair that way but i think this time it was WHERE he was looking and complementing, if he said nice hair she probably wouldn't have posted this, i think that she posted this because the guy was being just a liiiiiitle bit of a perv.
#162 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:09am by mnkyc_mnkydo
Do you get an erection by being second? Because I see no other reason for proclaiming it to the world.
And @OP
Romance will not be found at a mcdonalds.
#61 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:03pm by SP63
were u expecting prince charming at the mcdonalds drive through? why do you think he wanted your number in the first place
yeah OP you're a fucking idiot. did you expect him to say he likes your personality? he doesn' even know you. how did this make it past moderation.
#147 - On 07/04/2009 at 3:42am by stevesp101
Agree with 103 (hey that rhymes)
Who gives a fuck? He gave you his number, it's not like you HAVE to call him if you think he's a creep or something. Jesus.
and as #134 said there is a HUGE double standard when it comes to compliments.

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
lol that guy knows whats good in life
and #2, fail
#3 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:10pm by freedoggy77
Um, not such a big deal...take it as a compliment. Would you rather he said he prefered women with no rack or something?
I think the FML here is that she was exchanging numbers with a guy at mcdonalds.
#71 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:18pm by inerdablanket
Obviously, to a guy, it's a compliment. But girls want more than, "you have a nick rack."
#91 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:40pm by fucklifeee
I'm pretty sure that if I go to a guy and tell him 'nice rack' he aint gunna be too impressed either.
@91 she said he has a nice smile...theyre both superficial statements, none better than the other. i see no reason why her comment is held to a higher standard than his.
#124 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:59pm by organisedchaos
do you really think his smile was what got him her number? "nice smile" is not only just as superficial as "nice rack" like 124 said, but it was a lie. no way she would give her number to some fucking quasimodo whho happened to have straight teeth. OP is a retard for posting this, and a bitch for judging the guy when she is just like him.
#148 - On 07/04/2009 at 3:48am by stevesp101
oh so she wanted his number in a non sexual way...ok. well i guess they were destined for a long glorious plutonic relationship together, completely non sexual. unless of course she exchanged numbers because she was sexually attracted to him, in which case i guess its irrelevent and your point is fucking stupid.
#150 - On 07/04/2009 at 5:28am by organisedchaos
YDI for exchanging numbers with someone at a McDonald's... what else would you expect?
#5 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:11pm by grlwitperlEring
Epic win for that guy. Woman always claim to want honesty out of a man, well he was just being honest, quit bitching.
Because you can tell who a person really is so much better by looking at their lips instead of their boobs.
#8 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:15pm by I_am_stupid_also
Exactly! I dont see how her comment was any different from his. Both were basing their reasons for exchanging numbers on physical attributes. Besides, what did she expect him to say? "I can tell just by looking at you that you are a compassionate fun loving person with a great sense of humor." No, they each just thought the other one was attractive so whats the FML here?! OP is just being whiney and needs to grow up.
woh, that is some deep shit man
this is the internet, either insult the bitch or post a naked pic of yourself
Yeah, #18 FTW for sure. People are fucktards sometimes.
OP, get over yourself. If you want this to stop either.. 1. Get a breast reducion or 2. Wear clothes that hide the girls. You're a fucking hypocrite.
#82 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:59pm by srpkinja31
damnit i should have read further, glad to see others noticed the obvious flaw here.
#125 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:04pm by organisedchaos
@89: There was no mention of what she was wearing, or her bra size. Don't be ignorant.
#135 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:05am by kitkatkelly
Wow, you know you're a winner at life when you're exchanging numbers with the guy in the MCDONALD'S DRIVE THRU
im not seeing whats so bad about the fact that he works at a mcdonalds drive thru...especially between the ages of 15-24...
if she thinks hes attractive...why not? its not like shes saying 'hey, pop by my place later for a fuck'. seriously whats wrong with you people?
#126 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:07pm by organisedchaos

I agree with #10
#10 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:20pm by LordOfTheHobos
Maybe you are just ugly and have huge boobs? Why complain about it? He told you why...it's better to hear the truth then have someone lie to you.
#12 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:22pm by DizzyDemon0
Well, you were being superficial, so of course he was gonna be superficial too
#17 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:33pm by Avenging_Angel
YDI... what did you expect? Neither of you knew anything about each other. And unless you have an SUV or a truck that's high off the ground then your rack is probably the part of you that's easiest to see from his angle.
I clicked YDI, but would've clicked "So the fuck what" if only it was an option.
You asked him out based on looks, and so did he. If you really, really have a problem with his response, (and I'm guessing deep down you don't and just wanted to let the world know your rack is comment worthy) then don't wear low necked tops that show off your cleavage.
oooh...found yourself a charmer there. Hope you know he was probably only smiling because of your so-called "nice rack". Just tell him he can look but he's not getting any--oh wait you exchanged numbers...tsk...
Sorry, but do you think that somehow liking somebody based on physical attractiveness of their mouth is somehow morally superior to liking somebody based on physical attractiveness of anywhere else on their body?
what a charming guy. Don't date him, sounds like a creep..unless you just wnat a fling then in that case it isn't a FML..
People who think complimenting's someone smile is as sweet as complinenting somene's rack need help..
And hooray for the usual bitter virgin boys who assume the girl was wearing a low-cut top.
#31 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:58pm by thedrumsthedrums
You're absolutely right. Clark Kent there was just using his x-ray vision to see through her top, and that's how he knew she had a nice rack. Using sexist cliches you got from watching TV and movies doesn't at all validate your argument. Just because men are seen as more perverted in western society doesn't make her ogling any part of his body morally superior to his own ogling.
Still, what reason did she use for exchanging numbers?
Mt. 7:1 says "Judge not lest thee be judged" (one of my favourite quotes from the Bible XP), and she judged him solely on appearance, so how can she expect anything else from him?
Basically, you're trying to defend a vain, shallow and overly-sensitive hypocrite, tbh. Either you don't fully understand the situation yourself, or you've got a reason to sympathize with her.
Finally, boys will be boys. If she can't appreciate the humour in his comment (I know I do, and probably all of my friends, guys and girls, would =P), rude and insensitive or not, maybe she should get to know her dates BEFORE she dates them (i.e. go out to the movies, etc. in larger groups of friends), or at least find a better place to look (church and charity stuff, or even online dating). The best and easiest thing she could do is look at the guys she already knows and see if anything "clicks".
#42 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:26pm by MichaelExe
LOL at the people calling this guy a jerk.. Just goes to show how clueless people are to how dishonest they are.
She gives him her number based PURELY on a physical attribute.
He gives her his number based PURELY on a physical attribute.
The two people exchanged info for EXACTLY the same reason.
Just for those that don't know.. A nice smile says absolutely nothing about the person wearing it.
You found out he has a nice smile and a crappy personality.
He found out you have a nice rack but are really stupid.
#35 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:11pm by I_am_stupid_also
He complimented you. And it's a legit compliment, not something that could be taken as an insult. It was a bit tacky to say, but he was being honest.
You were both objectifying. Liking someone for their smile isn't any more spiritual or soulful than liking them for their rack.
i wish guys would tell me i had a nice rack. take the compliment and quit complaining.
#40 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:20pm by diet_otaku
#40 is right. If you didn't have a sizable rack you'd be complaining even more.
#43 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:26pm by lukesanborn
You have a nice rack. =D
I know I'd choose a girl like you over the OP any day.
#45 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:28pm by MichaelExe
You deserved it... I mean how desperate could you be to exchange numbers in a DRIVE THRU AT MCDONALDS !!!!!! I'm glad that he said that to you maybe you should take that dose of reality and maybe you should check yourself... because it's not like you weren't being shallow by giving him your number for having a nice smile
#41 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:20pm by Mc09toofine
YDI for picking up guys at McDonalds. Way to have standards.
#44 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:27pm by deaditegirl
you complemented a physical feature of his and game him your number and he complemented a physical feature of yours and gave you his number.
just because he has a nice smile doesent mean he is a nice person.
What's the big deal? Do you want some "canned" answer or the truth? Do you have nice tits? If not, he lied. Truthful and he has a job, sounds like a one- night-stand material to me.
1. McDonalds drive-thru WTF?
2. A compliment is a compliment
3. If it hasn't already been said enough, you both were judging based on physical attributes. Many people like to believe that you can learn about a person through their smile, but that is incorrect. None of us decide how our smiles look anymore than you decided how nice your rack looks.
4. MCDONALDS DRIVE-THRU WTF?
#54 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:45pm by Tubasaurus
Can you please inform me as to the difference between you asking him out because of his smile and him asking you out because of your breasts?
You complimented his smile, he complimented your tits. Stop bitching.
#56 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:50pm by godyourethick
Let me get this straight:
You traded numbers with a random guy at a fast food place for completely superficial reasons. And now you're complaining because he did the same thing? Did you expect him to like your personality from that one trip for food?
YDI. Definitely.
I don't see how that would solve the issue. Lesbians like boobs too.
#78 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:43pm by portablecupid
why does everyone say drive-thru? Can't anyone speak proper English nowadays? It's drive-through.
#65 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:08pm by mijzelffan
Actually, if you look at the signs at any fast food restaurant, it says 'drive-thru.'
#68 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:12pm by caticaticati
Agreed. The fast food companies made up the drive-thru so they can spell it however they want. Same way if you name your kid John, you can write on the certificate, "Jon". Also, who the hell says, "nowadays" and wanders around FML.com looking for typos. I can only deduct that you are a grumpy 60 year old man. GAL.
If you would take a look at his member account, you would see that he (says he) is 15.
#75 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:31pm by MichaelExe
Yeah they both based their decision physical appearance, but hers wasn't sexual like his was. Okay, she may have meant it in a sexual way, but I wouldn't think compimenting someone's smile would be a sexual advance. Complimenting his body maybe. However, him complimenting her breasts can only be interpretted as sexual. FYL girl, that'd piss me off too.
I can't believe you're the first person to actually say something like this!! Technically, yes, they were both complimenting physical attributes, but saying someone has a nice smile is a nice compliment. Saying someone has a nice rack is a sexual advance and it's a fucking creepy to have someone come out and say that!
In this case my namesake at this website is right. He complimented you on your nice rack, I don't see how this is an FML. I moderated this one :D
#69 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:14pm by YDIForSure
You're complaining because a guy indirectly said he found you sexually attractive?
yeah, that must be a hard thing to live with.
:l
#74 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:28pm by ravensbite23
I thought it was pretty common sense that you shouldn't be picking up dudes at McDonald's.
#77 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:40pm by portablecupid
well did you think itd be the personality, you met him in in the drive-through for 3 seconds before you change numbers!
#81 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:53pm by dancin303
Why is everyone hating on the people at McDonalds? What if the dude was like 17 and still in high school?
im a girl and work at McDonalds, almost ALL the guys who work there are under the age of 20. It's not just the girls that come in to eat that get those comments. It's just a young guy thing. It has nothing to do with the fact that they work somewhere.
You're right, but it's the circumstances in which they met. They met AT McDonalds for the first time, and without knowing anything of each other beforehand. You shouldn't expect much when you meet people randomly like that (or at bars, dances or anywhere else where guys go to pick up chicks) .
#87 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:23pm by MichaelExe
get over yourself, that was a compliment, if he said i thought i could fuck your mom then fyl sheesh
Lmao...Um hey I have a cousin who works at Burger King wanna hook up with him? hahahahaha jk don't get your hopes up!
#95 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:29pm by hawt_leah_foshiz
who the hell tries to hook up while picking up drive-thru McDonalds?
#96 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:41pm by YDIprobably
yeah, your life is Fed because you have a nice rack, and someone noticed. >_>
#105 - On 07/03/2009 at 8:31pm by misterman2
You gave him your number because of a physical feature. He gave you his because of a physical feature. I don't see the problem. As others have noticed, he's also refreshingly honest.
there may be more to him than you think. it doesn't sound like you've given him much of a chance.
#110 - On 07/03/2009 at 8:53pm by afmanslady
hey congratulations on the nice rack
and finding an honest guy
#114 - On 07/03/2009 at 9:42pm by D4rkSh0gun
I'm a girl, I have an *excellent* rack and I think you're a fuckhead.
#117 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:05pm by plethora
Well, I think this is what was going down:
She was obviosly attracted to the man and decided to get his number just so she could get to know him. He wondered why she wanted his number and she gave him a nice, polite answer. She she asked him, he rudely said, "because you have a nice rack." not only did she realize he was a jerk, but her best feature according to men was he boobs. Woman do NOT want to know that their best feature is their boobs.
#118 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:10pm by chococool223
and guys do NOT want to know their best feature is their smile
#129 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:32pm by zoolander951
Oh ma ga! How dare he compliment you on something superficial and aesthetic after you complimented him on something superficial and aesthetic
#121 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:50pm by Leaveittosteven
Also #3 what I said was practically what u said (but I didn't copy u or something, I didn't see ur comment until after I commented)
*Cough*desperate*cough*.
That's what you get for not pulling right through after you got your shit, YDI.
But then again, that's still a compliment..he could've told you: "Bitch, you're fugly, buzz off!"
#130 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:36pm by AAAAHHHH12
I guess it was still a compliment...? xD
But at least now you know that he isn't particularly deep, and probably wouldn't make the best boyfriend.
I'm not clicking FYL or YDI, because I don't think it's that bad.
Okay...when the HELL is it okay to exchange numbers at a drive thru like McDonald's?!
#133 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:52pm by Stevieebabyy
Seriously, McDonald's?! Have some standards. I wouldn't eat at McDonalds, let alone ever consider going on a date with a fast food worker. (And yes, I am in my teens.)
#137 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:18am by anniebananie
YDI. Get some standards if you're trying to get a date from freakin McDonalds. I don't care if you're a teenager, anyone working in that shithole is a damned looser.
#138 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:33am by ToonAddict
It would have been a FML had you been a teacher and if you found out that kid was your former student while on the date...
well, what did you expect him to say, honestly? You obviously just got to know each other, he'd only be lying if he said "you have a great personality"
and it doesn't mean your face is ugly, your rack just got his attention first/ he likes it more. So what? It's no different from you liking his smile
#149 - On 07/04/2009 at 5:03am by an_account
This is fucking retarded. She had maybe a minute or two at the drive in. WTF was he supposed to say? that is about all he could see.
Well the guy IS working at a McDonald's drive-thru. What did you expect from him lol?
#155 - On 07/04/2009 at 3:26pm by starburst_boy
so you're upset that he was being a guy? I mean seriously I doubt you would give him your number if you didn't find him attractive.
You noted a certain positive physical feature that you admired, and he did the same for you. I see no problem.
A couple of weeks ago, my best friend and I did the same thing.
Hot guy in a McDonald's drive thru.
He still randomly talks to us. :]
#163 - On 07/05/2009 at 3:01am by carrwreckromance
All the while, you're holding up the drive thru line...
#164 - On 07/05/2009 at 3:21pm by Cittenscollar
Honestly, I'm a female and that IS a compliment.
And it's not creepy if you approached him first, dumbass.
#165 - On 07/05/2009 at 6:19pm by fuckmyparents
REALLY mcdonalds????? of all places and how is this an FML? He kind of complimented u so just take it along with ur food and get over it
Hand a guy at Mc Donald's your phone number and you're offended with his reply? Oh the irony meter is off the charts!
#167 - On 07/06/2009 at 5:58am by Ryan_the_Great
Well that's not "nice manners" in our society and he may well be a creep but really think about it....He's just being honest. Now, when someone tells you he's fallen in love with you at first sight you should really be worried...You were attracted to his smile; he was attracted to your breasts. You should be flattered.
#169 - On 07/07/2009 at 10:23pm by dramakat11
am i the only one wondering about the size of the rack? lol
#172 - On 07/21/2009 at 8:43pm by willslick42
I think the comments here say a lot about the state of this society, and it isn't good. As it has been said before by the few sane people here, complimenting someone on their smile is NOT the same as complimenting someone on their "rack." Don't bring up any "superficial" crap, or "it was all he could see," "cover yourself up." You people are just as disgusting as he is if you think that.
