May be like me. I don't like what standards consider to be beautiful. Like everything is perfect. I like the things that stand out. They are what makes someone attractive. Quirky little unconventional things. Conventionally attractive is flawless, but life isn't that way

Believe it or not truly attractive people rarely receive compliments. People assume that they know they are attractive so dont bother giving them compliments.

But, being called unconventionaly attractive still means they find you attractive. Us women tend to overthink and over analyse things all the time.

Take the compliment and feel good x

Depends on interpretation of the word. If you define beauty by what we see in pop media it's probably an insult but it's in the eye of the beholder..
