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.



I agree with you somechick, and by the way you are very beautiful..smile

I wouldn't think so either...To me, it's a compliment, and I've always enjoyed it...but that's just me....conversing conversing

Giving compliments to strangers is always acceptable...
what's not acceptable is expecting them to react according to your wishes.

Not everyone is civil or even kind...
a compliment can be misconstrued as a creepy violation of privacy, stalker like behavior, pushy, rude, uncomfortably forward and downright asinine.
Proper delivery aside, knowing one's audience is not always a guarantee of success or appreciation.

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...



laugh It´s not only women who can take a compliment the wrong way... when I see something about a guy that I like... I let him know.

I was at a club with some friends and noticed this one guy with his buddies... he had the most fantastic smile and laugh... so I approached him and told him that he had the best smile in the club and I loved the way his eyes lit up when he smiled. Then I left and went back to my friends to continue the party... next thing I know he´s standing next to me... hovering.

I had to tell him that it was a compliment... not a pickup line and sent him on his way. laugh

well now, if that didn't make the poor guy all confused! Worst of all you are still laughing about it - men have feelings too, you know
