There is no rule about that, and an answer based on statistics might be meaningless.
IMO. compliments do not require a response. The act of giving the compliment can be just as satisfying for the sender as it may be for the recipient. If you absolutely expect a response then you have an ulterior motive, and it is not just a compliment that you're sending.
stefonline: I can't say that I fully understand your question....are you saying when you publicly compliment someone in the forums on CS....please clarify.....
NO ....u look at profile of someone just to say Hi or they got nice pictures ....whatever the case is...I just believe u should response..even if u are not interesting
scottiesingle: hmm... damn that crazy...what did u say
Glad you're asking.. I asked them to meet for a coffee or a beach day since we're living on the same Island.. no response.
That was a bit a downer for me and I didn't contact many more men on here mainly because I'm so busy replying politely to all the mails and flowers I'm receiving daily from men who aren't even on the same archipelago - some one figure that one out for me. Could it be majority of people on here wants to meet somebody and if they've a chance they freeze? They so freaked out about real life connections that they're wasting everybody's time to contact people on the other side of the globe while being tied down with employee jobs and kids from former relationships? Sorry, got carried away

I'm sorry that happen to u Can anyone take AngelinBali for coffee or a beautiful sunset on the beach this what I'm saying they could have at least response to say sorry I can't...what's hard in that .....but maybe u are right they are shock or freeze
scottiesingle: NO ....u look at profile of someone just to say Hi or they got nice pictures ....whatever the case is...I just believe u should response..even if u are not interesting
People could just say a thank you for their compliment if they so wish......but it's not that necessary....
If you got some of the mails I got you would be saying more than a thank you I can tell you.....
scottiesingle: O come: on looks is not just important for relationship....the person can be pretty and dumb ......we talking about being polite here
You don't have a "relationship" when you're just sending a compliment to someone you don't know. It's only first contact, and for that reason the link that kylepurity2 posted is relevant and very informative. Those guys who run the OKC site are Harvard graduates and they do some serious data mining of their entire user base before writing those blog entries.

You were the one who mentioned the word "relationship" in your response to kylepurity2, I was just responding to that.
As I said in my first post, I don't necessarily expect a reply when I send a compliment. I simply enjoy sending it. For example yesterday, I sent flowers to a woman who is taller than myself, and for that reason I know that we will not be seeing each other as potential partners. I didn't get a response from her, but it wasn't necessary. I just felt like sending the flowers and it was nice to do so.
Unortunately some people do not think that you have to be polite or nice since this not "the real world"....I try to repsond to all who write or send a flower..the only ones I definitely do not reply to are the nasty / rude ones...

If it's not from a scammer I prefer mail, as there is more room for content than on a flower message box, thus opening the door for further conversation.
Unless you have something else in your mind asides compliment,i don't see why you should pay too much attention on getting a reply. The compliment should bring as much joy to you as getting a reply. Though it may be a little bit dissappointing,it shouldn't stop you from appreciating what pleases you.

it's not all women u would be interesting on this site...i'm talk bout being polite... and some people getting wrong ...
Being honest, I'm far away from United States and Europe... I think that is not correct, in fact "useless" to send a compliment using "Flowers",because is like an invitation for to waste time...people talk about friendship, but you know that Friendship here means "relationship"... a pity, but realistic. I'd rather to make a nice Comment in a picture, to gift 9 or ten points of "Sympathy".... If someone send me a compliment by Flowerbox or Emailbox my reply will be similar, but at least in my case always responds any compliment,or comment, keeping my distance with respect. Try to avoid to make opinions at the forum, because is mainly an "American Forum", talking about "American Issues", and being honest I made a mistake time ago, because is not my language, unfortunately I mistook a reply (someone send me a lyric of a song in his reply and I mistook "The sense")....later I asked a public apology, but people was really cruel, and when I posted anything else, never received answer again. Was very pathetic my position there, I was considered as a kind of ignorant, and my Forum Posts a dangerous place. That experience made me to understand "why the Twins Towers and 9/11 still are so traumatic in that society ... now I'm here but absolutely TACTFUL. No way.
