What do women think about that?

Hi, Im a man - straight. Sometimes I see a woman in the street that I dont know and If I happen to like her hair style or anything else she is wearing I do give her a quick compliment and they seem to love it.

FYI: I hardly ever compliment a women that I dont know about her physical look (only for friends and girlfriend or potential ones).

So I would love to hear your comments ladies? How do you felel about getting such compliments about your style, shoes, clothes or your perfume from a complete stranger?!! Im curious to hear it from you.

Love You All :*

 

I think every woman loves compliments. It depends on the delivery though. If it's a genuine compliment that's great. If it's creepy then keep it to yourself.

Everywhere I go I get comments on my hair. You don't see blue and green hair everyday. The other day I was at the mall and this teenage goth boy walked by me. As he walked by he said "cool hair". It made me smile. You know if a teenage boy is giving you a compliment he really means it. If he were a creeper standing there staring at me then decided to approach me that would be different. If you are nice, not creepy and genuine then compliment away. Everybody loves compliments.

 

Btw, the "love you all" part of your post is a little weird. I wouldn't suggest that as a compliment.

 

I always love a good compliment but if a random guy complimented my hair or clothes i would probably assume he's gay.

 

I loved Chicago because random people can tell each other things like "cool hair" and "nice shoes" and get a smile and a thanks.

If I told a random person in Milwaukee something like that, I am likely to get a dirty look.

Your city's local culture has a good deal to do with how compliments are taken.

 

I've told a few woman I liked their hairstyles - especially if they'd changed it somehow to how it was the last time I saw them - new colour / different way its been restyled

 

I looooove getting compliments from strangers. As long as it's not creepy.

 

I take a compliment as an act of kindness. Even when it isn't.

People hurt so easily. If I hear positive words, it makes my day.

I'm like you. When I see something I find beautiful, I compliment the person. I compliment complete strangers on all sorts of stuff. Always genuine. I won't give a compliment just to say something. I find something I genuinely like and I let the person know.

I compliment people almost on a daily basis.

My husband, every time I see him naked, I applaud. Literally. I compliment the things he does in the house, his attitude about something he tells me happened in his work... all the good things he does.

I text him during the day to remind him of how special he is to me, how much I love him. And this even after 20 years together.

 

Who doesn't like a genuine compliment? But when the compliment is from a guy about my fashion or the way I look, I typically interpret that as being especially creepy or I assume the guy is gay (which is fine by me).

If it clear that the complement from a stranger (guy) to a girl is simply kind and innocent, and not any sort of attempt to open the door an introduction or larger conversation, then I'm always up for that.

IMO, using the word "hot" in any way, shape, or form in the context of a guy paying a compliment to a girl when they are strangers is NOT a compliment. That's just plain creepy. Ewww! I suppose some girls may like that, just not any that I know.

 

I don't mind a compliment, when I was younger I thought it was to hit on me if it was a guy and that might be how it was delivered or I just didn't think what they commented on was all that much,,, dunno.
Now I see a compliment as that. I get lots of women comment on my hair mostly, one woman said I have an awesome color, "what brand do you use?" Ha,,, I died my hair once when I was in my 20s because my friend talked me into it and would never again, my allergic reaction was crazy, it burnt me so bad.
My hair has lots of natural heighlites in it and I honestly don't do anything to it. I hate to even brush it. It's one of my lucky bits, all my family has thick hair and my twin sister and I are the only blonds, mom still says we weren't from the mail man. Even grandparents, cousins and all the rest are dark browns or black haired. Mom was a red head and dad dark brown.

 

I think "hot" should be considered in context. Good example: "The hot pink hair really suits you." Bad example: "The glitter on your back pockets is really hot."

 

Compliments are nice to get when coming across sincerely and not depraved.

 

Just being honest, it depends on the man it comes from too.
If the man is creepy or odd, it doesn't come across well. It's hard to describe
in text, but it's not just about delivery but the deliverer too.
But that out of the way, yes, I love getting compliments from strangers.
All to often men don't let you know what they are thinking or say anything. You have to hear it from others that they mentioned something or felt some way.

 

Identical twin sister or fraternal?

Anyway I would unwittingly take DNA samples from both parents of mine if I suspected anything fishy about my heritage. And have those results independently verified.

 

Lol that sucks with people who are not actually creepy if you could read their hearts and minds, and mustered all of their courage to utter a compliment only to be judged as creepy or odd by the person they're trying to compliment.


People who have high functioning autism (aspergers) come to mind, or those with other general anxiety disorders.

 

I work with someone who is high functioning autistic, he is in NO ways creepy at all -- and he thinks I'm pretty -- I don't mind it at all, because I know he's honest about everything.

You may have to be a woman to understand what we mean by creepy - it's not just exterior, it's a vibe you get from them, how the move and look -- their appearance just goes with it -- a man can be very handsome and still give you a creepy vibe, as well.

You know what else..mostly 9 out of 10 times...a guy who pays a compliment is generally creepy to begin with. (like a guy I had to ride the bus with who wanted to TAKE MY PICTURE -- he said to post it with his 'collection' of beauties!!) ...creepy. and another guy who asked me to marry him after I told him what my profession is, he thought we were perfect for each other -- that's creepy.
The average nice guy doesn't say much and that's the truth.

 

We do have signs that show my mom and dad in us. I have my dads lips and a few other similarities but more on the feminine side. Just our complexion and hair color comes from someone further back in the family.
We are identical twins, she has a shorter rounder face and I have a longer face shape but we look alike other then that. Until we were going into our teens people who didn't know us well couldn't tell us apart. As babies my mom had to look for my sisters birthmark on her shoulder but not for long as personalities started to shape.
We even have features like my brother but he is much darker skinned and looks quite close to my dad, more as he hit adulthood. Their beards are similar but dad's is grey and my brothers is touching on grey now, if they were the same color they could look like brothers with several years apart in a photo.
My mom had blond hair as a kid and it went towards reddish brown just before her teens.
One thing I did get that no one in the family has is nice nails,,, everyone asks me if I have them done. Never, they grow long and my moms curl at the ends and start to split so she keeps them fairly short. My bro is good looking when he keeps his weight down but he is really bowlegged and so am I but just a bit so that my knees can't touch and twin sister isn't at all and it's not in the family anywhere else. One fucked up family, haha.
Ps,,, I do get complimented on my skinny bowlegged legs, BF says they are cute but I did have to learn my walk and posture when I was younger.

 

bowed legs are not always genetic. My sis was a picky eater and the whole family gets sun burned easy, so when she was going into preschool the doctors needed to put her in castes to reshape her legs so she could walk properly. I, on the other hand would eat nearly anything and did not need the same help to walk.

And I don't know about the rest, but blonde is a recessive, as is pale skin. One pale blonde generations back could leave the recessive genes for generations hiding in the back ground.

On the creep factor? yeah, it's hard to explain. I tend to favor nerds. They know how to have fun in ways others don't think of and a pair of well chosen frames can be hot. However there was this one guy on the nerdy side who just made my skin crawl every time he showed up for the group we had. He didn't even need to speak. It wasn't just the glasses, slightly outdated hair cut, or slim frame since I can sight guys I like that fit the same description, but there was something about this nerd that just creep-ed me out to begin with, and then he would try to talk to and flirt with me. The best way I can describe it is that he had a greasy vibe, though he appeared to be physically clean.

Some guys just have a presence like that.

 

For me and my brother it probably is genetics because we were born that way before diet could be a cause, if so we don't know where from, the grandparents were not, so past that somewhere. I was also born with a slight scoliosis but that was discovered in my adult years even tho slight signs were there when I was a kid, and its not accident induced. I had no high impact accidents as a kid to cause it.

 

Growing up, my mom always told us if you held a baby too much it made them bow legged. I didn't even know a person could be born that way because that's what we were taught.
