somechick: I don't think there is anything wrong with complimenting a stranger as long as it's meant in a respectful manner.

I tell men on and off the site quite often that I think they're handsome and I think paying that type of compliment brightens up someones day.

When someone pays me a compliment I know it makes my day.


well i am delighted, because thats exactely how i feel. But i think some women take it as an invasion of their private realm, as if they were summarised as just a body.

Maybe some of us women feel that way because they've been hit on by so many jerks that it's probably hard to tell just how sincere a guy really is about what and how they say it.


JMO I don't want to get accused of having a diploma in this subject.grin

Charioteer: Hi aries, it didn't even mean my question in the context of getting to know somebody (but that too of course), more like a random act of kindness - like this morning a pretty, smiley waitress served my breakfast in a hotel i stayed in last night. I just felt like making her a compliment, but didn't, cause i was aware of the possibility of her reading it just like you describe...


There is always such a possibility when you compliment a stranger.

Getting it a wrong way is not just about woman's intuition. It's also about what kind of experience she had. Some men are very good actors, etc.


Besides, if it's just an act of kindness confused you'd better of leaving a good tip laugh instead.

I doubt it would offend. However, probably not advisable as an opening line.

well, i happen to think that money is no substitute for a moment of human interaction. Money is superficial, twodimensional, and i dont care about it
