Is being called Barbie as a nickname a bad thing?

Question

I've been getting the nickname Barbie and I ask why they all say don't worry its in a good way. I don't really like it considering Barbies are Fake and plastic maybe it is meant to be an insult I don't know any thoughts?

From a physical aspect stand point, it's a compliment.
Barbie's are very pretty and visually appealing.

I doubt someone is trying to dig deeper into the name and criticize you by calling you one.
Yes, Barbie's are dumb and plastic.
But usually people call a girl a Barbie as a compliment.

I don't think you should be offended.

True. I met a guy that his group of friends called one of the guys girlfriends "Barbie", few weeks later I realized theg called her like thay because she was not smart, too dumb to be real.

It is probably meant affectionately but can have negative connotations. Just say you don't like it and why.

I suppose it depends on who says it and how they say it. I'd probably take it as a compliment.
