I think this is more or less a matter of opinion, whilst you may find elves gorgeous some do not. Some people find Dwarfs to be gorgeous, but in my own personal opinion, I'd be offended to compared to one. It could also be something she see's as unrealistic, as in elves aren't real, so in her mind she may feel like your telling her beauty is compared to something that she can't actually achieve, and although you already see it, her thought process on the matter might be different. Like I dislike when my husband compares me to things that I know I can't achieve. Not because I'm lazy, but because to do so would be sacrificing who I am. Whilst other simply do not like being compared to others regardless if they are real or not. You really have to understand her mindset and what is going through her head when you tell her this. Your best bet, is to ask why she feels offended, and if she gets defensive just explain that you are not trying to offend her but to understand her reasoning and see what she see's. Because the more I type this up, the more reasons it could be that she gets offended. Maybe a guy who cheated on her told her the same thing... or maybe when she dated someone else they kept trying to get her to look like an elf or made her feel guilty for not being an elf etc. Like I said I don't think you'll be able to find just one reason, so i'd just suck it up and ask her. :)
I don't Know, Joe, about 'Completely Racist' Here, dear, but I do Know... I would rather be Called a "Fairy Princess' than an Elf, with a Long nose and Curled feet. Good Luck. xx
Because she's a human being, when she thinks of elves I'm sure she's not thinking about lord of the ring type of elves, she's most likely thinking of little people cooking cookies under a tree.
It's prejudicial but not necessarily racist. Also, if you mean she looks like the elf girl from the hobbit she should be blushing to the end of her days. That's one hot elf lady!

Right? That's what I'm saying! Finally someone gets it!
Racist? Based on what? Elves don't actually exist so therefore it can't be racist if you don't agree on an imaginary race lol. That being said... I'd love to be called an elf 😢 I get called a munchkin instead 😒

The concept still applies. I'm sorry you get called a munchkin..
It's because I'm so little... 😒 well compared to my partner anyway. But agreed. Maybe though she doesn't see elves as beautiful as you do. Should sit and watch LOTR and be like you're like that only beautifuller 😯
To me an elf is a male and less attractive. Perhaps if you tell her she looks like a Fairy or Pixie it might be better received. Some people are sensitive. I joke with my SO and call him a dildo!!
