"You look unusually presentable today."

"You are smarter than you look."

"Your presentation was surprisingly good."

Sounds like compliments right ? Or are they thinly veiled insults?

We have all encountered words that sound polite on the surface, but then you are left scratching your head thinking if it was really something nice!

And if we are being honest, we have not only been on the receiving end, we have also used it on people :)

For Edition IV of Mirror Conversations, we are bringing men and women together to talk about backhanded compliments or compliments with conditions applied.

No need to have a dramatic story. Just bring your honest conversations!
