Backhanded compliment
I was described by a girl in her 20s as an "Attractive older man" the other day.

This never happened in my youth.

Doesn't answer the question? What?

That's not a backhanded compliment
What she meant was that she wanted you to take her round the back of Aldi and give her a good seeing to by the bins, in the manner of James Bond or some other suave gentleman.

Attractive? Ahahahahahaha. Yeah. That happened.

What she quite literally said was:
"That'll be £3.29, love."

You get used to that after a while.
Or at least, I have. Hey, as long as they find me attractive I don't care that they note that I'm older than they are.
