"you look like a rose"

So, I work as a bar wench.
Yeah man, you just got a really little bit of background on the elusive blogger.
And as a by-product of this job, I often encounter rather drunk individuals who take it upon themselves to voice whatever thought comes to mind... even if it's reasonably incoherent.
I have had some fantastic comments in the past, the best being;
"they should make little dolls of you"
"are you from Poland? You kinda look like you are"
"do you want a man that'll treat you right?"
"so, you wanna do bar work as a career?"
and, last but not least,"you look like a rose"
.........
I apparently look like a rose.
Now, I pride myself on having a fairly visual mind, (if you say something- I will imagine it) so this particular comment really set the gears going, if you get me.
I look like a rose?!
What would that even entail, silly drunk man?
(A question that, in hindsight, I should've asked him)

Yep, that's the most accurate self-portrait I've ever done.
Er, no.
Also, I think he meant it as a compliment, which;
1) is flippin' ridiculous. I'm not sure if he meant I look like I'd fall apart if he touched me, or if he meant that I was a little bit spikey, or if he meant that my face folds in on itself a bit. None of which are particularly flattering comments to make.
2) I was also wearing the MOST unattractive shirt ever because apparently I am PUNISHED for not knowing anything about the world cup by being given a massive football-related shirt to wear, so a compliment was pretty out of the question, if we're being honest. I'd have preferred a rope or something to help me save myself from DROWNING in my clothing.
Moral of this blog; don't try to compliment women. Women overthink everything.
