Guys, at what point is a girl too pretty to compliment her as "beautiful/pretty"?

[MarkosSPL]

So I think we all know that it's not smart to call a beautiful girl, beautiful, as she already knows that and most likely hears that on a daily basis. Thus that compliment no longer holds any value, and you come across as an unoriginal.

But at what point does the prettiness of the girl surpass the threshold, in your opinion, of being "too" pretty to be called beautiful, to the point that the compliment still holds value?

Based on math, the uglier the girl, the more value that word holds, but as the prettiness goes up, you get diminishing returns per investment.

The math would dictate that 10 would be too pretty to use that word, but I think the actual threshold is subjective and would differ per person, because one might feel like "it's not worth it anymore after a certain point, because even though you get "some" return on investment, it's not a significant amount".

When she's a 7

When she's an 8

When she's a 9

When she's a 10

You've got it all wrong. The target's level of attractiveness doesn't really have that much to do with the strategy.

Either way if she's smoking or kinda dumpy, they will want a compliment if they care about you, and of course it has to feel earned.

And so then the strategic question is: How is her self perception going to affect how she's gonna receive the compliment?

For that reason, hot babes love to hear that they're pretty, because it's a sign that "everything is going normal". And dumpy girls love to hear it because it means that you really think she's something special.

You tell them both the same thing, just at different points in your relationship.

The question makes no sense:

1. I'm only complimenting her looks if she's extremely pretty.

2. How is lying about what you think of looks an investment? I'm not dating someone who's not attractive to me, and people aren't a hedge fund.

3. Better looks doesn't diminish the value of compliments, disinterest in the complimentor does. The hottest women will gush over men they like complimenting them, the point is to convey interest, not tell them something they already know.

4. Stop using graphs and math for human interaction, it's stupid and inaccurate to how people actually respond to anything.

I've never once in my life thought about a girl being too beautiful to merely call "beautiful."

But if you want a more concrete answer, a 6 is "cute," a 7 is "pretty," an 8 is "beautiful," and a 9 is "gorgeous." 10s would be perfection and highly subjective, so no one in the world is an objective ten.

Sometimes it’s not about the woman in terms of any comment, often it’s about how I’m feeling in that moment.


Having said this on occasion I say “GoodStuff” and smile…


For me it’s about eye contact, if she wishes to know how I feel our eye may meet and if this is the case nothing need be said. “It’s all in the eyes”

Never. You just have to approach it properly.

Drop Dead Gorgeous: Walk up to her and say "You are quite stunning." smile, then turn and walk away and do not look back at her. She will be shocked that someone had the confidence to do that without also offering to buy her drinks and trying to get into her pants. Do that with enough and one of them will pursue you because you are different.

Some women defy being described in English words I have seen a handful in my life. So devastating attractive that when they look into your eyes your heart skips a beat. You may get a reaction in your entire body> not lust... almost a spiritual experience. A rare occurrence which I had one a month ago. You will know what I am talking about when one encounters you.

[slatyb]

There's no such point. I often meet very attractive women who don't think of themselves as anything special. They are happy to receive a compliment.

[loveslongnails]

There are too many possible "what if's" that go with this question, and it's all very individual. However, I've never thought of a compliment as having "investment value", mostly because I don't believe it does.

[USLegionary]

Unless she's your girl don't. Especially if you've a sexual intrest in her, women hate simps.

[Part2603]

First, OMG Is that Jane Levy in your profile? She's SOOOO cute, I just want to kidnap her and force her to be my sex slave for all eternity. Good taste.

I disagree on your opinion that it's not good strat to compliment girls on their looks. I think that you can do it in such a way to signal confidence, and to signal sexual attraction. Which signals confidence.

You know, if you tell every girl she's pretty, they won't hold that power over you, so it's okay. That kind of line of thinking.

[USLegionary]

@Part2603 no it Sadie sink stranger things. But yeah Jane Levy is super hot, you see her leaked nudes?

[Avicenna]

This is a great question. I’d say at an 8 I wouldn’t.

[AngryCarl]

I think if she's an 8 or above it just comes across as crass and boring. You're not flattering her, you're telling her something she already knows.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I got an algorithm for you.. Girlies will always like compliments and that hasn't been original for centuries!
