Compliment vs Harrasment ( Archived) (45)

Feb 6, 2018 6:43 AM CST Compliment vs Harrasment
A facebook post got me thinking, when do a compliment become harassment? Like beauty, its in the eye of the beholder. I would imagine that something like "you look nice today" would still pass for a compliment where as "hey baby, can I stuff your holes full?" would probably be on the side of harassment.

What do you consider a compliment and harassment to be?

Sadly track this is to be avoided as almost anything you say can end up on #me too. I am afraid the pendulum of PC is at or near the top of the insane arc now.

Let's see...hmmm

Unless she was out in a field trying to fill in holes which could a danger to her lifestock , I wouldn't offer the 2nd 'compliment'

If she was somebody you didn't know, I wouldn't offer the 1st one either laugh

It has all to do with circumstance; your friendship and knowledge of the person; and how you say it.

The same words can be used in a polite respectful way, or with a leer..they mean different things then.

No, it wouldn't matter.

I'd still find the action intrusive and probably threatening whatever he looked like.

If a man can't, or won't recognise the inappropriateness of crossing a boundary like that, what else might he do?

What's the chance of me being bigger and stronger than him?

Rarely having to deal with those kind of situations is one of the most liberating things about getting old. laugh

You know that old quiz show called "Mr & Mrs" - the question I posed was one I remember from it (no idea why) laugh

I had a cat whistle from a young lady who was in the back seat of a recoverable which went passed the high st...I can say that it did not feel good (about the "compliment") at all. If someone else told me this without it happening to me, I would probably think they was taking things the wrong way, when they have not. In this instance, most likely the cat whistle was done with the best of intentions in regards to giving a compliment from a far.wave

I think that a harassment is something very serious - constant verbal bullying and insulting.

'You look nice today' is a compliment.

'Hey baby, can I stuff your holes full?' is a rude stupid joke.

Compliments are nice and I cannot understand how someone can be against them or think that they mean something more than just - people being nice and polite? dunno I think that we should all compliment each other (both men and women) much more. It's an effort to see something good in someone and it can really make a difference. smile

Very well said Call.
Ive never understood people who think its a flaw to compliment.
The way i grew up was under harsh critisism all the time....once i was old enough to see how damaging that can be i made the decision to see the good in all people and tell someone if i thought so.

We are our own harshest critics...i know i am...because of that...anything anyone throws at me flows right off me...ill say my piece but i wud not hold onto it.

Anything thats crass or crude i just dont like.

But then again it all depends on who says it because some..like truheart ..say it in jest and theres no malice...and u can just tell him to piss off tongue ...he never does but i tell him..lol.

thumbs up

Just to add...not from my parents did the critisism come...wouldnt have it on my conscience that i had left that thought out there without clearing it up.

truheart1941: the best compliment a man can give a woman is to tell her the truth.......regardless......


Exactly, if done graciously.
I would be more grateful if someone criticised me, rather than give me a false compliment!

Whose truth? We all have opinions and impressions. They don't need to be 'truths'. Even if they are - who are we to 'enlighten' other people about them, if they didn't ask for it? I believe that all adult people are smart enough to know themselves well enough and they don't need us to point out their weak sides and make them feel even more miserable. Even if they ask for our opinion, we should be kind to them.

I agree with Deedee - we live in societies where people constantly criticize others and very easily throw their 'truths' on each other, regardless how this makes other people feel. We don't need to flatter, but we can always find something good in anyone and compliment them - only if we want to. smile
