That depends on what the rule is. If the rule is bad, then being the exception is good.

I'll give you an example of a good exception:

"All women are cheaters. But not you. You are the exception to prove the rule."
See? That's a good thing.

Now here's a bad one:

"All women are loyal, and never cheat. Except for you. You're the exception to the rule."

Depends entirely upon context on if it is positive or negative. What is being referenced? If the "rule" is that people are lazy and you are the exception, then it's a positive. If the rule is that people are respectful and you are the exception, then it's negative.

The down side is being treated like the "good one," while they continue treating others like you in a terrible manner.

I view it as a backhanded compliment.

What if he never said anything but you can see what his type is based on who he follows plus who he dated. And why would you say it’s a back handed compliment

For example, "I don't usually find Asian men attractive, but you're cute." At that point, I'm cute for an Asian man.

Okay, what if the person never said that but you can tell their type is usually not Asian men?

And you’re an extremely attractive Asian would you say that’s still a backhanded compliment

Especially if they say something along the lines of I don’t care about the race as long as they have this “particular facial aesthetic”

I don't think about that kind of thing unless they bring it up.

So if they bring it up THEN it’s a back handed compliment right

I’m also not a fetish, so there’s that aspect as well.
