Is it acceptable to tell a complete stranger that she is beautiful? (98)
Charioteer: 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
Well, the thing is, complimenting someone right off the bat on their looks may come across - and justly, I think - as rather "two dimensional."
I think something addressed to one's impression of the person as a whole is far better. That's not particularly difficult - many beautiful women have other stellar traits. That would definitely include some women here!

As long as your tongue's not dragging the ground and you're not trying to grope her...
A compliment given in the right way will almost always be taken in the right way. And it can brighten someone's otherwise dim day!!

I would think a woman would be flattered to be told she was beautiful. Also see nothing wrong in telling a man is is good looking .

I happen to think the same about human interaction vs. money. What I was trying to say, I wouldn't want to hear you-are-beautiful compliment as an act of kindness - very often it's even more superficial than money.

point taken, but i'm really speaking from my own perspective, which means i am shy at the best of times to address a stranger, esp a woman. yeah, why else would i be here and ask such a question?

I would find that off-putting if it was the first thing out of a woman's mouth, however, if its by way of an introduction (if it's just a passing compliment, that's fine). As an indication of interest, I'd like to see some indication that she was actually interested in knowing me rather than being impressed by my body/face or my many wigs.

I assumed you would be, Laura (and I love your blond wig as well...though prefer brunette on you, of course!).
I had thought that someday I would trot out my "full body wigs" - stylish tufts for armpits, chest, back, and...well, etc.
), but I've been forbidden to do so by the Powers that Be.

i know what you are saying, but i would still allow for the possibility that it was just an effort at starting a conversation, and i would always be pleased.
Anyway, in my experience this is a rather theoretical concept, at least where i live: a woman addressing a guy if she is interested. And lets face it - it doesn't happen here either as far as i can make out

Hmmmm...well, that's pretty damn rare anywhere, I'll certainly grant you that. Usually I've gotten some passing compliment from women who clearly have no interest otherwise (or at least in my ignorance that lack of interest seemed clear
). It doesn't happen here??!! Man, that sure hasn't been my experience. If you haven't experienced that, I'm assuming it has to do with your lack of participation on the forums, which effectively introduces you to many ladies, since you're easily as good-looking as I am or more so (imo!).

Oh, C, despite how attractive those dolphins are, I'm guessing you'd get more hits if you made your face your main photo.

jesus - didn't think that an old guy in a bathtub gets all the attention.
I suppose it shows that at least you comply with a certain standard of body-hygiene.

I tend to agree. Hence - and for other reasons as well - not a good way of introducing yourself, if that is your intention.
