Today, I was walking my dog. A cute guy stopped me and said, "Wow, you are gorgeous!" I said thanks. He looked at me like I was nuts and said, "Not you, your dog." FML

He didn't need to bark at you, he could of replied a bit less ruff.

Even if he was talking about your dog instead, how is "thanks" not an acceptable response?

Thanks seems like a perfectly acceptable response. It's what I say when someone tells me that my son is gorgeous. Sorry OP, but maybe he's just a dog lover.

That's what you get when you go out in public with a . . . *lowers sunglasses* hot dog.

Hmm, where do you keep getting these sunglasses from? Do you just wear then 24/7? What if its a rainy day in FML-city? You have some explaining to do Mr. Perdix.

I agree it sucks. But in that situation, if a girl would come up and say you're cute to me. I'd assume she meant the dog.

My assumption is that op misheard the guy. Our society is super self-centered and I'm guessing that the guy stopped her and said "Wow, you have a gorgeous dog!" I'm not real sure about that but I feel like there's more to this story.

Or she just took a compliment the wrong way and youre way too deeply analyzing society based on one situation. It probably happened just as it was described.

I don't really think there's anything wrong with "thanks" as a response either way...

Meh. Could have been worse. Dude: Wow, I'd like to hit that! OP: What!? I'm not that kind of girl!!! Dude: Not you, your dog. OP: O.o Dude: =:-o

I would very calmly say: well did u hope that the dog will reply to you? I said thx in his behalf and just walk away....
