Would you rather be praised for: (a) your intelligence (b) your sense of humor (c) your penis (if you have one)

I ick out on praise in general (it always seems to be either condescension or sycophancy), but I love making people laugh. And I notice *you didn't bother asking* about my vulva or vagina (rude), but I don't need anyone's opinion on those. I already know they're great.

Correct answer is your pet

Someone being afraid of your pet is satisfying in inverse proportion to how large and overtly intimidating your pet is. I have had several friends utterly terrified by this thing and I'm always like "yeah, you get 'em girl"

it would be reasonable to be a LITTLE jealous of the praise your pet gets sometimes

Yuck, I have to accept a compliment? No thanks, call me an uninformed shitgobbling cockmangler before offering even the hint of praise.

I think the fates were counting on B when they gave me C.

I'd prefer to be praised for handsomeness.

Someone could praise you very superficially and forgettably for A or B, but if they're praising you for C, this is going to be a memorable conversation in some way.

I'm not assuming the compliments are false; just that some get taken more seriously than others. You know, contextually

I've been praised for more than one of these, and humor feels best (also least likely to be a lie)

Intelligence, easy peasy. I could live without b, and I don't think there will be many situations where I get praised for c.

I don’t have a penis but I would pick B over any body part.

B by a country mile, although none of these are what I would most want to be praised for
