I think it depends on the man receiving the compliment... some have different reactions than others but I see your point. Just tell em that you ain’t being creepy lol
That's what a creeper would say! :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:
 
I don’t like throwing around the word creepy or creeper. I think I would only use it for a woman if I had to get the police involved. Like, I come home to a boiled pet. 😛

For some reason I think women get creeped out easier than guys. Could be wrong tho...

I have to imagine safety is a big reason? Generally women aren’t going to be a threat to me so I can worry less. Assuming there’s no weapons involved.

hahaha good point. I will remember not to carry weapons with me outside my house.

I've been known to be pretty dangerous with a butter knife.

Mostly because of how incredibly clumsy I am... so I guess it's nothing to be concerned about, because most of the danger would probably be to myself. :sneaky:
 
"
In general Men need RESPECT more than anything (well, you know what I mean)...
Since Men need TO PROVIDE... acknowledging their EFFORTS to either provide, produce, or perform a role, duty or task can be quit rewarding.. "

I am reading a book called "For Women Only" suggested by @Hamarr and it says exactly this. Men require respect to feel loved. Super interesting...
I can relate to this.

Those are still painful. I may have had similar issues with clumsiness....

Guys like to feel strong and in charge. Things like "nice arms" or "wow ur sooo strong" is what they wanna hear lol
 
Okay let’s be real here. How can a woman compliment a mans eyes or looks for that matter without sounding like she’s into him?

My silly thinking is that if a woman was to say to a man “you have lovely eyes” then his thinking might be:

“She likes me”
“She wants me”
“She’s into me”

I would like to give compliments without sounding like I like them.

Am I right or wrong? Lol

As one very wise so-and-so once said, "compliments lead to relationships"

Two things;

1. That doesn’t really answer my question lol
2. What happens if you’re a over-complimenting woman? (And trust me there are women out there who are like that) - will her compliments lead to relationships with all those men? Lol
 
Actually I'm not real big on getting compliments. I don't take compliments well. I always feel awkward, and I reflexively look at myself to estimate whether the compliment is deserved.


Now GIVING compliments, I like to do that. I'm not exactly an overenthusiastic self-esteem coach always on the lookout for something to compliment people for, but I like to tell people good things about themselves or others. It makes me happy to make people happy when they are aware people have noticed a good quality about them.
