Compliment or insult?
Do you think being called "perfect" is a compliment or an insult?

I would take it as a compliment., but I guess its all about context.
Like, "Oh YouR soooo perfect"., might be a diss., but "Oh, you are so perfect"., might be a compliment.

All depends on the conversation surrounding the comment and the tone of voice used.

I'm with the others ... it depends on the context, tone, ect. Make it a compliment...

depends on the conversation or actions taking place LMAO
If they say it making eye contact without snarling at you, it's a compliment, with a snarl and a hiss..not so much lol

You mean... I may not actually be PERFECT.
But so many people have said it, just this week.
I thought I must be.
Yeah, sarcasm at its best.
I would say, it depends on the context and WHO says it.
Sometimes who says it plays bigger in the meaning.So hard, not to facepalm some people

I was called perfect last week and I was insulted.....and said so. Then it was explained that it WASNT an insult and why they said that and now Im smiley about it.
So, it all depends on the way the person who said it meant it.
