Is saying "she's an ugly version of you" a compliment?

Question

Do you think saying someone is an ugly version of you is a compliment for you? 
 
My friend told me a girl at uni is like an ugly version of me...
 
I thought it was a rude thing to say and she said its a compliment. What do you think?

Answer

You're the pretty versions, she's the ugly version. Compliment to you, insult to her.

Answer

We call that a backhanded complement. Lift up and, tear down.

I wouldn't take it as a complement because beauty is subjective. I would also be calling said friend an asshole because it says more about her with that comment then you.

Answer

I feel like it could be taken either way, but I imagine she meant it as a compliment if she's your friend

Answer

I mean, some might take it as a compliment. But it's not that great.

Kinda reminds me of the whole "you're not like other girls" shit that guys say.

Answer

I wouldn't take it as a compliment. Don't compliment me by putting another person down. That doesn't make me feel good. Don't compare us either. It's not a competition.

Answer

If you have to put someone else down to lift someone else up you're doing it wrong. 
It was meant as a compliment but you should find people who will make you feel beautiful in much more pleasant ways.

Answer

I think it's meant to be a compliment but it's a rude thing to say.

Answer

It's meant to be a compliment but you don't need to try to bring someone else down in order to bring me up. Wouldn't make me feel good either way

Answer

Just rude if she says that to you she is not a true friend

Answer

I thinks it's an unnecessary compliment. Basically, you're prettier than her, but I don't see the need to put another down in order to lift another up.
