I told a guy at Universal Studios that I thought he was cute and he just beamed. Made him so happy. I also like to compliment when guys have nice beards; works every time. Btw I’m a guy.
I’ve been complemented before in passing by someone and not felt the overwhelming urge to immediately engage in a relationship with them. Surely, context and place matters, and it can get confusing sometimes… But I think a “sorry, I was just appreciating ____” occasionally might be worth the net gain.
… And you can phrase something in a way that isn’t misinterpreted. Its situational. I’ve certainly told women a color suits them or complemented a look, hairstyle, what have you… Making certain to filter it in a way that is as complimentary as it can be without toeing that line. Its not that hard and frankly it’s worth seeing someone light up a bit when they get some positive reinforcement.
Never will understand why someone saying something positive about y must immediately mean x is excluded and should be maligned. Its a disgusting tactic typically taken by cults and ner-do-wells who benifit from the rift being widened.
Edit: it’s uplifting to see that people are tolerating that behavior less. I think it’s high time we started building better bonds with people in our communities rather than letting some hatefarm drive more rifts into it.
Let’s normalize not driving rifts into conversations that otherwise didn’t have them… And maybe not turn every conversation into a virtue signaling shitshow.
Normalize complimenting men. The current ratio is probably 10 to 1. Maybe they would be less miserable and angry then.

Nice beard!
In terms of compliments you give, what’s the ratio? Be part of the solution.
I compliment my friends all the time. It’s an easy way to support the people you care about.
Agreed but the in-between where men think all women wanna bang them is gonna be rough

If I could stop being a socially anxious bitch I would, but I debate in my head for 5 mins and by then the guy has already walked away 😅
Same things with girls honestly, I just struggle. But I feel like I’ve gotten better in college about saying compliments to people.
Oy, lets normalize treating women like human beings first?
Porque no los dos?

Women get too many compliments, men get too few. That’s why I steal compliments from women and give them to men. Nice tits, by the way.
why is complimenting tits not appreciated again?
everyone likes tits, men like tits, woman like tits, babies like tits. literally everyone
