Why do people assume it's wrong for a married man to compliment you?

[Akam93]

A married man said I was a beautiful woman. And I liked the compliment very much mostly because I had a crush on him.

Compliments are great no matter who offers them! Married, single, Iman, priest, preacher, engineer, beggarman, thief. ... As long as the guy isn't being creepy, take it with grace and joy!

It is wrong. He can look but keep his mouth shut

[mobiusforniner]

I gave compliments to a single woman as a kind gesture. She started reciprocating and buying me gifts. And then I reciprocated. We ended up having an affair.

So maybe thats why its wrong.

Its not wrong in my opinion, unless the comments get sexual.

[Reem12345reem]

so u would agree if a man compliments your wife?

[Opinion Owner]

@Reem12345reem Sure.

Indeed it depends on the nature of the compliment. 'You look good' or 'nice dress' or something about what she says or does. I hope my wife gets a compliment from someone every now and then, because it will be good for her self-esteem. To know that you are a valued person - or woman - independent from your marital status. Just where the boundary is is always a bit of a guess, but to me there's a clear line between giving a compliment en flirting.

Your answer was answered in the last half of your explanation

[peedy]

Its not wrong but insecure people take it the wrong way

[TooHot2Care]

Really…? You don’t see the problem here…?

[Akam93]

No I dont see a problem. Why?

[TooHot2Care]

If you were his wife and you saw how someone else had a crush on him and he complimented her, how would you feel?

[Henry268]

There's a difference between expressing to have a crush and giving a compliment.

[Christoff92]

It ain't wrong at all.

[Anonymous]

Because people may view it on par with flirting.

[Luckycharms12]

Don't see a problem with it
