'more than just a pretty face'

Hey everyone,

Well this guy who works at my volunteer place said to me the other day 'so there is more to you than just a pretty face'.
Now this isnt the kind of phrase i would expect coming from someone like him or anyone under the age of 30 for that matter and i was just wondering what it was meant to mean. It confuzzled me and I had no idea what to reply. well i did - the first thing that came to my mind was rather flirty for my liking so i just continued doing what i was doing.
But yeah my question is guys, do you ever use this phrase?
and if you do what do you intend it to mean? is it meant to be some sort of back-handed compliment or something?

He's complimenting you. Saying you're pretty + have got a nice personality. sounds like he likes you.

Trust me, If I said that to a girl, it would mean I really liked them.

Don't take it for definite that he likes you... he may have just been giving a compliment.

Compliment

I take more than just a pretty face to mean pretty with common sense thrown in

Err it was just a polite expression people use to be friendly, mate.

Just sounds like a friendly compliment to me. I wouldn't read too much into it.

One of those stock phrases when someone does something that shows a bit of nouse.

You must've impressed him with your mind at some point. Shown your intelligence or wit or something. It means there more to you than just your looks - you have a brain too - you're not a ditz.

It's a compliment! hehe.

If you've seen it, it's like the awkward bit in Transformers when Sam says "There's more than meets the eye with you" to Mikaela - he's basically saying he saw you as good looking but now you've overcome the 'good looking but shallow' stereotype, showing he now really likes you :smile:

Good luck
